 Heylo again, good evening and one final  greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday's now 2155 (ha, I'm over two  grand XD) but unfortunately I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-TWO MINUTES online should PIG mum boot me off to bed @ 9:45pm!! *sigh* But I enjoyed an awesome sleep last night (didn't wake till 7am) and went with Peggy to buy  groceries @ Pinelands Coles (chatted with Vicki) and had UQ physio for two hours (Passive stretch for Elf, stepping at clinic stairs for Erf with left weight shift and three count hold, five laps long hallway walking with obstacle course and more stepping for Erf with more left weight shift at the parallel bars) before Lorraine took  me to the pub for our  changeover function! Only  a tiny turnout (six) and I couldn't persuade anyone to buy me   a vodka but the roast beef meal was delicious and I  was even allowed to trade some vegetables for chips! Denise left first @ 8:43; the rest stayed until a  waitress came and said we're taking last orders before the kitchen closes then we all left. Got table tennis toms arvo but unsure about toms night since GG's still taking semester break. Hope everyone has a smashing  day  toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Monday Post 330c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3198 (ha, I'm over three grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's  'When You Offer To Help' but thirdly and way most importantly,  I'm really still owed TWENTY-TWO MINUTES online after I use the  loo once  more  @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing today's events?

  • Following the first  daylight pot :P trip around 7:35am I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy B ear and I happily  cuddle and snore,  me waking for the pot :P once more around  9am shortly before PIG mum begins her  daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into myt room to  hit me with the eye goo  and give poor Elf a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright; Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock  to  sleep  last night but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
  • PIG mum helps exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing  but the bra strap and laying out the tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply  with after immediately struggling into the tee and giving  myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • Once that's done I bang the wall and ask PIG mum to pleasew finish with  Elf's AFO straps and both laces so I   can go brush teeth; it's nearly 9:45am and since the parents I hit the sack @ 9:45pm if I'm already back in bed before twelve  hours have passed I'll feel  likje  I've wasted  the entire day! >< Still,  PIG mum  takes her time about it, meaning I don't exit the bedroom to go brush teeth until  just after 9:50am. *sigh*
  • After brushing teeth I sit over the loo for one tinkle,  wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out  to the gobbling  :P table for breakfast,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Breakfast is  one slice of dry (unbuttered)  toast very lightly spread with  some avocado   and hopefully  sprinkled very lightly  with some salt, one mug of warm  Milo,  all my usual drugs :P and another tall cup of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to  the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 

  •  After washing  and  drying  Era, I walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. While waiting for PIG mum  to  get ready, I start reading the day's Bible passages.

  • Once PIG mum's done, I climb into  thee backseat of her car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do both ways). She tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture  and massage, just parking on the driveway.

  • At Ray's,  I use the loo for one tinkle theen lie down for some massage (I  finally understand what's 'good pain' now XD) and acupuncture.  PIG mum's in her element,  yapping ceaselessly @ Ray with repeated syllables (her record today was five XD); my grateful thanks to  Ray who  always  replied and kept a  conversation   flowing. Not seeing him next week,  since he's taking his family interstate down to  Sydney for the  semester break!

  • Back home I finish  reading  the day's Bible verses then tootle briefly online before being summoned for lunch.

  • Today I  eat two little slices of topped-up oven-baked pizza, two little chunks of crusty garlic bread and drink one huge mug of  herbal tea. 

  • Thanks to the cleaner who  takes the dishes to  the sink for me; I return briefly online then  sit over the loo for two tinkles before sitting beside the front  door awaiting the carer's arrival  @ 2pm.

  • Queenie arrived and tootled  me off to Breathe for physio. We  joked about  getting KFC afterwards. XD

  • Physio today: 1.648km bike ride, forty bar-assissted push ups with left weight shift, forty steps for Erf with more left weight shift, forty steps for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg curls for Erf, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg extensions for Erf, forty leg extensions and boxing!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Sunday Post 330c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2011. Ha, I'm just over two grand. XD Ohh, and secondly,  Joni's devotional topic's 'The Man Beside The Pool @ Bethesda. Anyways, final, final events for tonight5?

  • Once the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle then climbed into the backseat of the Chery.
  • Dinner tonight was @ Ho Lin  Wah again but the Slams joined us; they'd WALKED from their house!
  • Neither set meal suit me today but I ate less than one bowl of rice, just  over half  a bowl of fried egg noodle, one deep-fried cuttlefish  ball and drank  one cup of  Chinese tea, half a cup of warm Ovaltine, half the set soup  and exactly one full mouthful of the hot HK-style milk tea.
  • Since there  hadn't  been any  parking  available when we'd arrived,  dad had dropped PIG mum and I off around  the Cheesecake Shop before finding a park  slightly beyond the fruit market. Obviously dad dropped the Slams back home;  can't believe they'd walked all the way to Pinelands Plaza in complete darkness!
  • Back home I used the loo  for one more tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely back online, again  and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • Toms: PIG mum'll help me up since I've got a  late morning appointment  to see Ray   for some acupuncture and massage. Bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him.  XD Oh, and I'll not see him next week coz it's semester break then and he's taking his family holidaying somewhere!
  • Will come home and eat lunch with  dearest dad before  Jacinta comes @ 2pm and takes me   to     Breathe for physio  @ 2:30pm. PIG mum  says we can buy groceries together afterwards.
  • Jacinta will see me home and showered before leaving   @ 6pm;  I'm hoping to  read the witch book for one  hour then watch the 6pm news bulletin for the  152ND time!
  • Anyways,  wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

  • I was reading and sharing my Facebook memories  when my  PISSY two hour net time limit arrived; I used the loo  for one tinkle and sat @ the gobbling :P table to eat the arvo tea PIG mum left me (one  juicy pear, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea) and read the witch book  for one hour.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Sunday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work  plodding 1394 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic's 'A Hiding Place For The Helpless'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Spiritual Pathways (3)' and fourthly, Our  Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Sweeter Than Honey'. Anyways,  events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night!  Nature didn't  call until 7:00am and after one pot :P trip  I immediately try and fall back asleep since didn't PIG mum  say last night she'd wake me up @ like :05am?
  • About  twenty-five breaths into  counting myself  back to sleep, noisy  PIG mum goes THUMP and I  realise sleep's not gonna come back. Instead,  I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo  before giving poor Elf a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright; Era rubbed Elf  for fifteen minutes last night and allowed her to wear her sock to sleep afterwards but obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD PIG also helps exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out the   tee before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I  comply with after immediately struggling into the tee and giving myself fifteen more minutes first. PIG mum returns and finishes with absolutely nothing bar  Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to  walk over to the bathroom   and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the  loo for one tinkle, wash and dry   Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to  the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Breakfast is  one of the chocolate muffins I helped PIG mum  bake   for  Dr. Lee (his birthday was yesterday) last night;  CHOCOLATE for BREAKFAST CAN'T BE WRONG!! :D I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drain one tall cup of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • Breakfast finished I walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
  • After washing and drying Era I climb into the back of PIG  mum's car  and buckle my own seatbelt  (what I do  all  day). PIG mum tootles  us  off to church and parks outside the service hall. I hike up  the ramp, use the disabled toilet once myself (the seat was up, but  so  was the lid), wash  and dry Era then take my usual spot inside the service hall, the most left seat in  the back row.

  • Yay I get to stay seated for worship today! I sang  everything, plus the harmony for   three songs but like  every other  week, meant absolutely NOTHING ><  *sigh*  Also  thanks to Pastor Peter Pie who pinned our WhatsApp message so  I can access the PowerPoint worship  slides every Sunday~

  • Today's speaker was Ryan from Compassion. Wonder did the squeaky-voice guy  before him retire?

  • Service  ended  ten minutes early  today. I used the 2nd cubicle of the  normal female  toilet (the disabled loo's lid was down  and mean mother wouldn't lift it for me; but yay that the 2nd cubicle had lid up and seat   down), washed and dried both hands then hiked out  around the back for morning  tea, where   dearest   dad already  had an  unsweetened white tea and a packet of Arnott's bikkies ready  for me.

  • While everyone  else from  ESS shared Indonesian food for lunch  and PIG mum   was enjoying her weekly gossip and coffee social with her aunty friends, dad  made me eat Hungry Jack's with him  again.  It's been  FOUR  WEEKS/ONE WHOLE MONTH since I last enjoyed a proper meal out. *sigh*

  • But today I had a junior Whopper,  ten surprisingly long chips, 1/3 the orange and mouthfuls of Hungry Jack's disgusting   free coffee.

  • After dad tootled us home I used the loo for one more tinkle then  walked myself slowly and  safely back  online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • Once  I've used up  my most important two hours of the day online I'll use the  loo  for  one tinkle, sit  @ the gobbling :P  table and finish  sharing my Facebook memories before hopefully reading the monster book for one hour; it's really good!

  • Toms:  PIG mum'll  help me up,  since I've got a morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage; bet  she's simply  DYING  to  yap ceaselessly @ him. XD

  • Will eat lunch with dad @ home before Jacinta comes @ like 2pm and takes me to Breathe for physio. Presume we're buying groceries afterwards, before Jacinta sees me home, showered  and leaves @ 6pm.

  • Hoping to watch the 6pm news for  the 152ND  time, provided I can   watch it  for the 151ST time tonight!

  • Anyways, hopefully  bbl else wishing everyone a smashing week  ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.   ^^

Saturday Post 330b

 Good evening again and one final  greeting for tonight! Em's final, final  plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2512.  Ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand.  XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • Before  leaving for church I sit over the loo for  two more tinkles then sit over the loo  for one more tinkle @ church before signing Jacinta off with my thanks and byes since  it's still early.
  • Have great fun playing with dad; he lets me win again~ But I copped SIX holes from him today! o_O  XD
  • Only fifteen minutes left, so just briefly:
  • Got home and resd most of the afternoon; it's only  Wednesdays  that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~
  • Popped online and did my daily Bible passage readings but didn't watch  the news since 'twas already after 6pm when I finished reading.
  • Used the loo for one tinkle, had lunch,  drank soup, took bowl  to  sink, returned  online, used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm before going to help PIG mum make a chocolate cake for Dr. Lee for  his birthday toms!
  • Toms: just  church, definitely nothing special.
  • Wonder can I persuade dad to  get the FIFA World Cup meal for  lunch?
  • Righteo, hope  to see everyone @ church toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Saturday Post 330

 Good  evening! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2370 steps;  secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Fear That  Draws Us In'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Spiritual Pathways (2)'; fourthly, Our Daily  Bread's devotional topic's 'One Sure Thing' but  fifthly and way  most importantly, I'm   really still owed TWENTY-TWO MINUTES online when I  ring  Aunty Lai @ 9pm!! Meaning I'll mute the Westlife concert that I'm listening to  now  and keep surfing the net while we're talking. Anyways, events for today?

  • Firstly, my final, final plodding total  for Friday's actually 2198 (ha, I'm over two grand XD) but I'm hardly gonna  blog about last night since the  silly Broncos just lost their SEVENTH STRAIGHT game! *cringe*
  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 8:00am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear  and I returned to happy  snorings, nature calling again  about one hour later. Afterwards, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

     Shortly  after  the 2nd pot :P trip PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright; Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously peeled it off first thing this morning! XD
  • Once PIG mum lets Jacinta inside @ 9:30am, Jacinta knocks, pushes opens the door and calls good morning.  When Daddy Bear nods a paw @ her she replies  I'll help you up in fifteen more minutes, okay?" Daddy Bear gives one more paw flop then imperiously flicks his paw @ Jacinta shoo! Jacinta snorts with amusement but wisely closes  the door and leaves us be, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • After I've counted down 900 seconds I swing myself over to  the pot :P for one tinkle and announce "Jacinta,  I'm hungry ..." She comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth.  After drinking one tall mug of water, I sit over the loo proper, There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 

  • After washing and drying Era, I head  out to the gobbling :P table with Jacinta, who tells me she had Cornflakes for breakfast this morning. Me, I get my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered)  toast with a thin coating of avocado and thanks to Jacinta who squeezed in a slice of cheese for me! I also drink  another tall cup of water, pop all  my usual drugs :P and enjoy my  first big mug of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes first up, finding the book title on page ninety-six, reaching pg. 100 @ 10:22am and finding the book title again on pg. 104. This book takes me two minutes to read through one page, BTW.
  • After reading  for thirty minutes, I ask Jacinta to please gimme (face and both hands) some sunscreen then she walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to the dining room to close and lock windows. After one tinkle I wash and dry Era then  climb into the passenger seat of Jacinta's car. She kindly helps me with my seatbelt (as she does all day) then she tootles us off to Underwood MarketPlace and parks beside the ramp before grabbing  a trolley for us.
  • First we  both buy groceries (PIG mum wants milk  and Jacinta grabs energy drinks (I like shopping with   carers since they lemme sit on the self-serve checkout machine) then I buy my arvo  tea honey  chicken  sushi  while she buys a kaarage bun for lunch from Sushi  Creators;  I teach her it's pronounced kaaraGE not kaaraGI. XD
  • Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also  thanks to Jacinta who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried,  creamed and rekitted, lunch is another bowl of that pasta  PIG mum recently boiled with a few slices of  delicious pork  and lotsa vegetables. Thanks to Jacinta who makes me two more big mugs of white tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey.
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Friday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've  been hard @ work plodding 1720 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Death Trap Called Covetousness'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Spiritual Pathways (1) and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Who's My Neighbour?' Anyways, events for today?

  • Grr  idiot nature called around 12:45am  and denied me the chance to  start an awesome sleep streak! ><  Don't worry, 'twas a sound sleep apart from that. *sigh*
  • Following the first daylight pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore until PIG mum wakes me for another pot :P trip with her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside to await Fay's arrival. 
  • When Fay hasn't arrived by 8:01am she immediately reenters my room and says fifteen more minutes. I comply, reminding her to please ring CODA on-call should she not have arrived by 8:10am.
  • But phew, Fay arrives like eight minutes later; when PIG mum opens  the door for her she immediately apologies for being late; even toll roads get congestion!
  • At 8:15am, Fay helps me up. I use the pot :P for three more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to  the gobbling :P  table and brush teeth before sitting over the loo  for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I walk out to  the gobbling :P  table with Fay.
  • Breakfast is  one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and foor some  reason the PLATE (not the toast) very lightly sprinkled with salt (so I licked the plate clean afterwards XD), all my usual drugs :P  and one tall cup of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh* I also happily watched Sunrise; I'd asked Fay to please turn channel seven on for me, only for PIG mum to immediately chirp, "I'll do it!" Unsure why she only ever does it when there's a carer present; she's ALWAYS REFUSED when it's just us two @ home! Perhaps she's just trying to show the carer what a 'good' mother she is? XD
  • Breakfast finished, I asked  Faye to please gimme (my face and both hands) some sunscreen before she walked behind me back to  the loo then returned to the kitchen and washed the breakfast dishes. Over  the loo, , I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
  • After washing and drying Era I climb into the backseat of Fay's car and she tootles me off to the  NAB for physio. We have a smooth run along the highway but then get stuck along Coronation Drive? Arrival time @ UQ was 9:58am but I needed to use  the loo before heading inside hence why I didn't sit inside the waiting room but hiked straight into  the NAB. Along the hallway a male forty-one year old student met me and was followed by Sarah. 
  • Physio today: Thirty barefoot Elf sit-to-stands with left  and forward weightshift, fifty steps for  Erf onto first stair block with three second hold and more left and forward weightshift, lying on right side on plinth and kicking Elf towards wall, two laps short hallway walking and ten laps long hallway walking.
  • Lol when Fay doesn't pick me up @ 12:10pm I ring CODA; turns out she's down near the lifts! I immediately ring back and reassure someone that I've been collected; lol, I'm using the toilet when Staffing Options rings Fay to ask where she is! XD
  • After sitting once more over the loo for two tinkles Fay tootles me home and I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Fay who helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. While I  shower, Fay tells me that she's  twenty-eight, from Sudan and already has a son doing prep! She's a single mum and her parents look after the boy when she's working.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, PIG mum's cooked some delicious pork for lunch! With the rice there's also lotsa lettuce and lotsa soup carrot. Lunch gets washed down  with one huge mug of herbal tea; @ 2pm I say my thanks and byes to Fay and sit over the loo for two tinkles.
  • When I  come out, Ari's already arrived and Ela does one hour of unfunctional exercises with her. We end with playing two/three rounds of Spot It!
  • After sitting over the loo for one tinkle I have some fruit, one plain cracker and drink another huge mug of herbal  tea.
  • Arvo tea finished, I use the loo for one tinkle, read the day's Bible passages then plop online for myself.
  • Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for  the ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH time!
  • Wolfing dinner down immediately afterwards and skipping soup; plan to sit on the sofa come 7:30pm and watching the Broncos play the Roosters!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

  • After publishing the previous post I read and shared the She Reads Truth daily devotional.

Wednesday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1407 steps (so trust I'll have reached 1500 steps before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's daily  devotional topic from last night's 'Pray Before The Throne'; thirdly, TWFT topic's Rahab: Redeemed And Redirected and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Faith Rooted In God' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE  HOUR and FORTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I get home from table tennis!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep  last night! Nature didn't  call until 6:50am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Oh, yesterday: final plodding total for Tuesday was 2975 (sorry, not  quite  three grand  XD); I had NAB physio  with   Sarah (Barefoot elf movement seated and standing reaching for Ela, eight laps long hallway walking four laps short hallway walking and standing table tennis) them attended YA @ QUT Toastmaster's 800TH meeting and snacked on  red,   white and  pink lollies in keeping  with the theme!

Tomorrow Louiza will take me to GCCW and that's the day, I think. Oh but best of all it's ice cream night tomorrow night; like I always say, a very little is better than none at all!

Monday Post 329d

 One final  good evening and greeting Em's final, final plodding  total   for tonight now stands @ 2326. Righteo, final, final  events for tonight?

  • After publishing  the previous post I read and shared the  She Reads Truth  daily devotional  before reading and sharing some Facebook memories.
  • At 9pm I walked myself  slowly and safely once more to the loo for one tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • Toms: Peggy's minding me 9:30am  till like 4pm. After breakfast we'll  buy groceries from   Coles  Pinelands plus my once-weekly crunchy pork  bahn mi for lunch then come home before Peggy takes me  to the NAB for two  hours' physio with Sarah.
  • She'll see me  home and showered before leaving @ like 4pm. I'll prolly not have time for my most  important two hours for the day since  I've gotta read the day's Bible readings plus I'm needing rice for arvo tea since Michelle  still hasn't found anyone to take  me to Toastmasters but it's our  800TH meeting!! Years ago  for  our 700th we partied @ the  pub but  Kate said this year she'd buy cake but suddenly she can't come  and neither can  Aarunan!! *cringe*
  • Plus, I've gotta compose GCCW homework!!!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Monday Post 329c

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Monday  mow stands @ 2256. Anyways, continuing today's events?

  • After breakfast, I walk   myself  slowly   and safely  back  to  the bathroom,  again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of  the Chery and dad tootles us off to see Ray. Yay that dad's driving, he'll park right by the gate and thus save me from a longer walk since PIG mum only ever parks on the driveway.
  • I use the loo   for one tinkle then lie  down for some slightly ouchy massage and  acupuncture. PIG mum's in  her element yapping unceaselessly @ Ray; my grateful thanks to Ray  who  always replied and kept a conversation flowing. But maybe I'm not seeing him next week since  it's school holidays and  he's taking his family interstate  somewhere?
  • After one more tinkle,  PIG mum tootles us home. I plop online and start reading today's Bible passages while the parents get  lunch ready. Actually,  they   eat first since PIG mum's off to   the pool   for exercises soon.
  • Lol I've clean forgotten what lunch was but it was washed down  with  a DELICIOUS mug of Chinese tea!
  • After taking  the cup over to   the sink, I walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Since Jacinta's shift   starts @  2pm, usually I visit the loo once more @ 1:55pm. When Michelle rang  saying Jacinta was running late and  wouldn't arrive  until 2:15pm I  told dad I'd use the loo @ 2:10am  and he was fine but  when Jacinta suddenly arrived @ 2:08pm dad DEMANDED I GO NOW! Lol,  he even  had the audacity to try and force me out before I'd sat over the loo for two   tinkles but  I ignored  him.  XD We still  arrived plenty early and had like ten minutes to   play with our mobiles before going inside. XD
  • Physio today: 1.792 bike ride, forty bar-assissted push ups with left weight shift, forty step ups for Erf with more left weight shift, forty step ups for Erf, forty leg curls for Erf, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg extensions for Erf, forty leg extensions for Elf, two bed exercises to prevent back pain and boxing!
  • After one toilet trip, Jacinta tootled us  off to the Woolies @ Sunny Park Woolies for grocery  shopping. Happiness was having fifty cents left afterwards to buy a soft serve with; Jacinta ate  medium  chips and poked them into my  ice cream for  me!
  • Back home, I took  a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jacinta who  helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing  Era too hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted arvo tea was one tasty cracker,  one yummy banana and one big mug of Earl grey tea sweetened with one spoonful  of  honey, delicious!
  • Jacinta found me an awesome new book to read - Only A Monster 💩 by Vanessa Len and I reached page twenty-five @ exactly 5:25pm.
  • At 5:55pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles before signing Jacinta off with my thanks and byes. Originally she was taking me to Toastmasters toms night but she's pulled out since she's already got a seven hour shift before me and will be too tired; PIG mum immediately rang Michelle and I've emailed her saying you'd better find someone to take me toms night!
  • Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 122ND time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of today's first post.
  • When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:25pm I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, one  tasteless piece of soup and two really small pieces of surprisingly yummy crumbed fish!
  • Dinner was spooned down  with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly  and safely  back online,  again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Anyways,  hopefully bbl  after  one last loo  trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms,  else wishing everyone a  smashing Tuesday  ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

Monday Post 329b

 Heylo again, good  evening and potentially one final  greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential  final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2158 (see? Told you I'd crack 2000! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'An Undercurrent Of Gratitude' but thirdly   and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWO MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Righteo,  potential final,  final   events for tonight?

  • Breakfast is  one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast  very  lightly spread with some avocado  and hopefully sprinkled with  a little salt, all my usual drugs :P  and  one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
    Cheers,
    Em.   ^^

Monday Post 329

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been  hard @ work plodding only 852 steps (but going to physio next and promise to  have cracked one grand before Monday's out XD);  secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Satisfaction That Defeats Sin'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Raise The Bar' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Ready To Be Generous' but fifthly    and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE  HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES online after I get home from physio and watch the 6pm news for  the 122ND  time!! Anyways,  events for today?

  • When nature called around 1am, I used the pot :P once  ands bet that   PIG mum had forgotten  to  change the clock's battery like she'd told me she would  when I informed  her  yesterday that the battery  was running  flat. XD
  • Sure enough, after the first pot :P trip following the  Sun's rising, I  noticed that the clock only read  4am. XD Back under the covers, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear and  I happily  cuddle and  snore,  nature not calling again until  nearly 9am. Shortly after this third pot :P  trip, PIG mum begins her  daily  a-THUMPING around upstairs and shortly afterwards she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye  goo and help exceedingly  slightly with absolutely nothing bar   the bra strap   and laying out  the tee before leaving me to get  myself mostly independently kitted,  which I  comply with after immediately struggling into the tops and then giving myself  fifteen more minutes first.
  • After mostly  rekitting myself I  call PIG  mum to please come and finish with Elf's AFO straps and both laces;  it's  already almost 9:45am! Still,  she takes her time  about it and  it's not till  just after 9:50am when I let her gleefully FORCE  :( me  to walk over to  the bathroom   and brush  teeth.
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^
    P.S.

Sunday Post 329

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1965 steps (so will have definitely passed 2000 before the day ends XD); secondly, John  Piper's daily devotional topic from  last night's 'Grace Is Power - And Pardon'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be A Father' and fourthly,  Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Gift Of Prayer'. Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't  call  until 6:55am and after one pot :P trip I immediately tried falling  back asleep  since I knew that PIG mum would get  very noisy  very soon!
  • Yup, about sixty  deep breaths letter (before sleep had returned), noisy PIG mum went  THUMP; instead, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • PIG mum lets herself  into my room  and hits me with the  eye goo. I sit upright, she helps exceedingly slightly  with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and spreading out the tee then leaves me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I  comply  with after immediately struggling into the tee  then giving myself  fifteen more minutes first.
  • PIG mum returns and  finishes with  absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps  and both laces before I  let her gleefully   FORCE :(m me walk over to the bathroom and brush  teeth. That done,  I  sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry  Era then walk myself slowly   and safely out to the gobbling  :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Surprise: I thought I'd only get one bowl of plain porridge for breakfast but instead I got  a slice of toast very lightly spread with avocado! I also pop  all my usual  drugs :P and drink one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast I walk myself  slowly  and safely back to  the bathroom,  again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 

  •  After washing and drying Era, I  climb into the backseat of PIG mum's  car and she tootles me off to  church. Obviously, I buckle my own seatbelt all day. At church, I hike up the ramp, use the last cubicle in the normal female toilets then   grab my usual spot for service on the most left.

  • Yay I get to  stay seated for  worship  today~ I  sang  everything, plus the harmony  for all four songs but like  every other  week,  meant absolutely NOTHING.  ><  *sigh*

  • Speaker today was Pastor Peter Pie with his final sermon from his Apostles' Creed series.

  • Service ended  thirteen minutes early today; after using the loo myself for another tinkle I sat @ my usual  spot for morning tea then waited for the stalls to open!

  • Only  thirty minutes left, so just briefly:

  • Walked with  PIG mum  back  around and bought a slice of cheesecake from  Rosanna; YUM!

  • Chatted  with Uncle Simon over morning tea; he says Australia only need to draw Portugal in their last group match  to  advance to the knockout rounds!

  • Had a cheeseburger, ten chips and some orange juice with dad  @ Hungry Jack's again; it's been THREE WEEKS since I last  enjoyed a proper meal out. *sigh*

  • Got home, did my daily Bible readings then plopped online.

  • Once  I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle then sit and read for one hour plus eat the adorable cookies PIG mum bought today for arvo tea!

  • Hoping to read for one hour and read the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's)  for the 121ST time!

  • Toms: PIG mum'll help  me up,  since I've a late  morning appointment to see Ray  for some acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap  unceasingly @ him.  XD

  • Jacinta's coming @ 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio with  Winnie @ 2pm. Presuming we'll buy groceries afterwards before coming home for personal care.

  • Hoping to read for another hour and watch the 6pm  news bulletin for the 122ND time!

  • Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em.  ^^

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2086. Anyways, final, final  events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I finished sharing my Facebook  memories. Turns out  tonight marks seven  YEARS since Mr. Marinated reached into  his wallet and passed me one  shiny hundred dollar bill! Can't believe I forgot to take a photo of  it; sure enough, I've not had another one since. >< XD
  • At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one more tinkle and back, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Toms: just church, definitely nothing special.
  • Resigned to a spot of lunch with dad @ HJ's then a stressful arvo @ the hands  of PIG mum. *sigh* 
  • Meaning tomorrow marks THREE  WEEKS since I've enjoyed a proper meal out. *another sigh*

  • When  PIG mum summoned me over  for dinner  @ 7:39pm I used the loo for one tinkle then  walked myself slowly and safely to  the gobbling :P  table,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

  • Dinner tonight: leftover fried rice with lotsa lettuce, two chunks of salmon and some delicious leftover turnip cake that PIG  mum made like yesterday~
  • Dinner  was washed down  with one  cup of deliciour iron goddess tea; after taking the cup  over to   the sink I walked myself slowly   and safely  back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Whoops, PIG mum bit my  head off for getting some support toms for a shower. She demanded I immediately cancel it and even rang the company to make sure I didn't get any support. >< *sigh*
  • Toms:  just church, nothing special. Resigned to a spot of lunch with dad @ Hungry Jack's  while  the rest of EM enjoy lunch out together (meaning it's been like THREE WEEKS since I  last enjoyed a proper meal  out) and PIG mum enjoys her weekly coffee and gossip session with her aunty friends before dad drops me home then goes out for badminton and arvo  tea with his mates while I'm   expecting a stressful arvo @ the hands of mother. ><  *another sigh*

Saturday Post 329

 Good evening!

  • Argh, nature ruined me starting an awesome sleep streak last night; dad  had already very thoughtfully walked silently down the hallway but his unpopping of the lock into the garage awoke me! >< *sigh*
  • Following the first daylight pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore; following another pot :P trip around 7:45am, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve?

  • Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza  who helped me rinse out my  hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was one bowl  of rice leftovers and one huge mug of herbal tea. Louiza cleaned the bathroom before I signed her off with my thanks and byes about ten minutes early. She's back next Thursday and taking me to GCCW, which reminds me: gotta complete my GCCW  homework!
  • Dearest dad tootles PIG mum and me off to see Dr. John O'Sullivan the neurologist; it's more Botox time for me! 
  • At St. Andrew's Place dad drops us off and says he's going to Bunnings; Whatsapp/ring him for pickup once we're done.
  • We catch the lift up then sit in the waiting room for twenty-five minutes before Dr. O'Sullivan calls my name.
  • First, we sit  facing him and he asks us questions about my left limbs. He's awfully inchy. XD
  • Next, I sit then lie down on his treatment plinth. I shrug outta my jacket, he/PIG mum removes Elf's footwear then Dr.  O'Sullivan starts jabbing me with needles; he's still got  that static-y machine to hear my muscles scream  with pain but I've forgotten the  name. XD
  • Elf jabbed several times, I sit upright and shrug outta my tee (it's alright since I'm still  wearing the bra) and Dr. O'Sullivan next injects Ela's triceps and pec after I  sit upright.
  • My next appointment to see  him's in nine months'  time,  while PIG mum pays $945 Medicare will pay back $758; that's still $187 forked out!
  • Less than thirty minutes  left, so just super-briefly:
  • Got home,  read for one hour then watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the

Friday Post 329

 Good evening! Firstly, today I've been hard  @ work plodding 2885 steps (so prolly won't reach 3000 before tonight's out, sorry XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To  Plead For Unbelievers'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Resurrect Your Dream'; fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Path Of Life'  and fifthly,  Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "The Desire To Do God's Will" but  sixthly and  way most importantly, I'm  really still owed FIFTY-FOUR MINUTES  online after I use the loo once more @ 9:45pm!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature  didn't call until 7:35am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily cuddled and snored, me waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, just before noisy PIG mum  begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Louiza's arrival @ 9:30am.
  • After PIG mum lets Louiza inside @ 9:30am,  she knocks, pushes open  the door and says "Good morning Em; I'll get you up in  fifteen minutes, okay?" Daddy Bear  imperiously replies with a paw wave 'shoo!'; Louiza smirks but wisely closes the door thus saving  her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
  • After counting down 900 seconds, I swing myself over to the pot :P  for one more tinkle and announce "Louiza, I'm hungry." She's next door inside the bathroom and immediately comes over; we get me kitted and I head over  to the bathroom  and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out  to  the gobbling :P  table with Louiza, who tells me that she enjoyed two fried eggs for breakfast this morning, the lucky thing!
  • Me, I may have gotten one bowl  of plain porridge? I definitely got one slice  of toast, lightly  spread with  avocado  and lvery lightlly  sprinkled with salt. I also pop all my usual drugs :P and drink one full cup of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh* Also thanks  to Louiza who turned on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure~
  • Breakfast finished, I asked Louiza to please gimme (my face and both  hands) some sunscreen before she walked behind me back to the bathroom then returned to the kitchen and washed the breakfast stuff up. Over the loo, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the passenger seat of Louiza's car and she tootles  me  off to UQ for physio. Thanks to her  who kindly helped me with my seatbelt both ways. Yay for a smooth run to UQ; we got there  early  enough for me to have ten minutes to play mobile games before heading upstairs @ 9:50am.
  • After using the loo for one tinkle I sat inside the waiting room.  Turns out the lady sitting beside me was the one who totally stacked it last week! After asking  was she  the one who took a tumble last Friday I then asked hope you are alright?? You made a huge crash when you dropped; I was hallway walking with my student and when I saw you stack it gasped @ my student "Go in and save her!" But  then in the next second  Elaine  the teacher had  rushed over and disn't  scream call the ambulance so we presumed you were uninjured?? She laughed, replying yes, I made quite a big ruckus going  down, didn't I? But don't  worry; I  didn't hurt myself. Oh, phew~
  • Physio  today: Barefoot Elf weight bearing,  leaning forward,  eight laps long hallway walking,  ten laps obstacle course in the NAB, stepping for Elf with a little right weight shift and stepping for Erf with lotsa left weight shift.
  • After one more tinkle, Louiza tootles me home,  stopping @ the Warrigal Square Maccas to buy herself lunch (a double/triple cheeseburger meal WITHOUT the  buns since she's mildly gluten intolerant?); she even gets me a dirty chai and  shouts me some chips! :D
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • Once PIG mum gave me permission  to eat dinner, I used the  loo  for one  tinkle, washed and dried Era then  walked myself slowly and safely to  the  gobbling :P  table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy  cabbage, lotsa soup carrot, one delicious chunk of plain chicken and two lil chunks of tasteless soup pork.
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowlful of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked  myself  slowly and  safely online, again  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

Thursday Post 329

118TH Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1828  (and GLOORY;  the Mighty Maroons were SUBPERB last night!); secondly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2669 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); thirdly, John   Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'What Kinda Prayer Pleases God?'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Stay Positive' and fourthly, Our  Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Taking Refuge In God' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-ONE MINUTES online after I  watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the  118TH time!!Anyways, just briefly let's start with yesterday's events first!

  • Jane took me to table tennis and not  only was their CAKE; I even got SECONDS! :D
  • Got home, showered, wolfed down  arvo tea, started watching the 6pm  news bulletin (Nine's) and asked dad to please gimme dinner when Jane left @ 6:30pm coz Origin coverage started @ 7pm but dad dawdled and didn't gimme  dinner till 6:50pm then ordered I wait five more minutes since 'twas still hot meaning I missed the beginning of Origin coverage! >< *sigh*
  • But the mighty Maroons levelled the series! ::D
  • Watched the post  match then got myself to bed around 11:30pm!
  • Today: yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night!  Since I hit the sack later than usual I didn't wake and relieve myself until 8:05am, after which I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
  • Daddy Bear and I happily  cuddle and snore, me waking for  the pot  :P once more when awoken by noisy PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to  hit me with the eye goo  and give poor  Elf a very brief  rub, since she'd   totally ignored my  poor foot last night. That's alright; Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously peeled it off first thing this morning! XD
  • Once PIG mum lets Louiza inside @ 9:30am, Louiza knocks, opens the door and says  "Good morning  Em; I'll get you up in fifteen more minutes, okay?" Daddy   Bear doesn't even bother  giving a paw nod but just imperiously flicks his paw @ her 'shoo'!; Louiza just smirks but wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of  the Bear Bum. XD
  • When Louiza taps me  up fifteen minutes later, I use the  pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth, before sitting over the loo for  one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the  gobbling :P table with  Louiza, who tells me that she enjoyed two fried eggs for breakfast this morning, the lucky thing!
  • I wasn't lucky enough to get two fried eggs for breakfast (I only get one every Saturday) but I  was lucky enough to get a slice of toast lightly spread with avocado and very lightly sprinkled with salt since  PIG mum went out bushwalking! I alsoo pop all my usual drugs :P and  drink one full mug of water.   Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  • After breakfast, I ask Louiza please  gimme some sunscreen (face and both  hands) before she walks behind  me back to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes the breakfast  stuff up. Over the loo proper, , I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude! 
  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into the  backseat of Louiza's car and she tootles me off to Underwood Park for my 6th hike around  Underwood Lake; we encountered this lady carrying her sausage dog that was wearing a puffer vest himself since they're like hairless and would feel  the cold too!
  • Our other stop was Warrigal Square Woolies for groceries before  getting home for my fastest shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to  Louiza who  helped me  rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • Dried, creamed and rekitted, dad made me a tuna in tomato and  onion  toastie  with only one slice of  cheese for lunch and I enjoyed a packet of powdered HK-style milk tea. 
  • After signing Louiza off  with my thanks and byes (she's taking me to the NAB toms and coming @ 8am) PIG mum tootled me off to Top Health Doctors since I needed  a referral for my upcoming  appointment with the eye doctor D. Vu; turns out dad was  there  too  so the  young Asian doctor just saw us  all together!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
