Monday Post 330c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 5125. Anyways, final, final  events for tonight?

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into  the backseat of PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt. PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture, just parking on the driveway. Pity dad couldn't drive me today; he'd park by the gate. *sigh*
• At Ray's, I use the loo for one  tinkle then lie  down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum's in her element yapping ceaselessly  @ Ray; her record today's repeating five syllables before continuing. XD My grateful thanks to Ray who always replies and keeps a conversation flowing.
• After one more tinkle, PIG mum tootles us home for lunch, where dad has oven-baked pizza and brunchy  garlic bread for us; PIG mum even gives me seconds, score! Just pity that the portions are so *tiny* ><" XD
• After washing lunch down with one mug of  fruit tea I take the cup back to the sink and walk 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. At 1:55pm I sit over the loo once more for two tinkles.
• The new carer's forty-one, already  has two kids and she's from  the Philippines! I shared with her the two Filipino phrases I knew; she nodded approvingly @  the  thank you then roared with laughter  when I sheepishly told her you are fat. XD
• Breathe physio today: 1.515km bike ride, forty bar-assisted push ups with left weight shift, forty step ups for Erf with more left weight shift, forty step ups for Elf, forty v-bar cable rows for both hands, forty leg extensions for Erf,, forty leg extensions for Elf,, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg curls for Erf, tennis ball throwing and catching for Era and boxing !
• After I used the loo for one more tinkle the carer tootled us off to Sunny Park to buy one box of three-pack facial tissues from Woolies, grabbing a trolley for us on arrival.
• Score the cashier snuck me a $30 card  pack  after the first  wouldn't! :D Will open it toms with Peggy~
• Got home and took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to  the carer who helped me rinse out my  hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one yummy banana, one plain cracker and one cup  of milk tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey after I told the carer I didn't want herbal tea! Happiness was reading the Isobelle Carmody book for one hour; today I reached  pg. 275 @ 5:16pm.
• Less than  fifteen minutes left, so  just super-briefly: watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 164TH time, used loo for one tinkle, ate dinner (leftovers from last night plus lotsa boiled vegetables), drank soup, took bowl to  sink, returned online and used loo  for one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from 9:30am till like 4pm. She'll help me up, take me to  Pinelands Plaza for grocery shopping and bahn mi buying for  lunch; after coming home for lunch she'll drive me to the NAB for two hours' physio then see me home and showered before leaving  @ 4pm.
• Can't  remember: did PIG mum say I could read my    daily Bible passages first/did she want me to complete GCCW homework for her first?
• Looking forward to  reading the Isobelle Carmody book for one hour  and watching the 6pm news for  the  165TH time!
• Anyways,  hope  everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 330b

 Good  evening again! Em's new plodding total  for tonight's exactly 5000. Ha, I'm half a normal person  today. XD Anyways, events for today?

• Grr, I was one night from starting an awesome sleep  streak but nature denied me!! >< Never mind, 'twas a sound sleep   aside from that~ *sigh*
• After 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, nature calling again once more around 9am. Shortly afterwards, PIG mum  begins  her noisy daily   a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon, 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 the  tops out before leaving me   to  get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into the tops  then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum  returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully  FORCE :( me to  walk over too the bathroom and brush teeth. Unsure why she waited so late before waking me; I had to bang the wall after I'd mostly independently kitted myself and ask her to please quickly finish with Elf's AFO straps and both laces but she meandered away and I didn't exit the bedroom until just after  9:50am! You know I  feel like I've wasted the entire day should I be back in bed for another night's sleep should I enter the bedroom again before twelve hours passed since I exited it! >< Never mind, plan of attack: brush teeth slowly and sit over loo for a good long while; hopefully twelve hours will have passed when I re-enter the room. *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, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• For breakfast this morning, PIG mum saved me one more of the sausage buns I'd made with her recently! The silly sausage was so  terrified of being eaten he tried to leap from the bread as  he was heading for my mouth but since I remember to  LEAN FORWARD while I eat he only landed on his original saucer and met a very glorious death inside my hungry tummy. XD I also pop all  my usual drugs :P and drain 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 loo, 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! 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 330c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 3787. Anyways, final, final events for  tonight?

• After I flipped the nice hot water  off and PIG mum dried my back for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until my bra strap  needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• After I dried the loo seat, I sat for  one tinkle, stamped both  feet dry, dried inside both ears, washed  and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely  back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Did my weekly file backup  then happily watched the 6pm  news for  the 164TH time. All the things I like recording  are @ the bottom  of today's first post.
• Used the loo for one tinkle  then had our once-weekly family dinner  out @ Ho Lin Wah. Ate almost (but not  quite) one bowl of rice, a small half  bowl of thin   soupy ho  fan, a big half bowl of  fried Hokkien noodles while drinking one cup of  Chinese tea, half a cup of unsweewtened soya bean milk  and just over one mouthful of  the hot  HK-style milk tea.
• Back home 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.
• 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: PIG mum'll help  me  up, since I've got a late morning appointment  to se3 Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly   @ him.
• Over breakfast toms morning I'll check    my email and see has Michelle filled in the TBA for tomorrow's 2-6pm shift; if she hasn't, I'll haveta ring.
• Got    Breathe physio @ 2:30pm toms. Presuming we'll buy groceries afterwards before coming home for personal care.
• Fingers crossed I can read the Isobelle Carmody  book for one hour and watch  the 6pm news bulletin for the 165TH time toms night!
• Anyways, wishing everyone a smashing week  ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 330b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new  plodding  total  for Sunday now stands @ 3565 (ha, I'm just over 3.5 grand XD) and secondly,  Joni's devotional topic's 'The Royal Official'.  Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Once the most important two hours of the day were  up, I used the  loo  for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then sat @ the gobbling :P peeled a banana for arvo tea, munched one plain  cracker, drank one huge mug of arvo  tea then finished sharing my Facebook memories then reading the Isobelle Carmody book for forty-seven minutes before  PIG mum ordered me off to  shower.
• So a nice hot shower for me  - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I  also  softly, slowly  but most hatefully sang 20% of  shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was already done after only 9%, but happily leaned fully   against the right side rail and watered myself  for  another tinkle before calling PIG mum  back.
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Sunday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3571 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "God's Grace In Spiritual Gifts'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Steadfast' and fourthly, Our Daily  Bread's devotional topic's  'The God Who Saves'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Actually, initially sleep wouldn't come and I   already used the pot :P once @ 11:35pm before I finally fell asleep but then I snored soundly until  PIG mum's daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs woke me! Only I  was still too asleep to fully wake and use the pot :P I   stayed barely awake until PIG mum let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo @ 7am before using the pot :P for one tinkle.
• After PIG mum hits me with the eye goo, helps me exceedingly slightly with the bra strap and  laying out both  my   tee and jumper she leaves 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.
• PIG mum returns to finish 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  sat 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 was one of the delicious sausage buns that I made with PIG mum yesterday! I  also popped all my usual drugs :P  and drank 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*
• 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.

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 washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat 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 haul. I hike up  the ramp, use the disabled  loo for one tinkle myself (yay that the lid's up and seat's down  today), wash and dry Era then grab my usual spot for service on the most left. PIG mum leaves for the Canto service with fourteen minutes to spare.
• Yay I get to stay seated for  worship today~ I sing everything, plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Peter Pie with another sermon from his series How People Change. David interviewed Rosanna afterwards; eep, she shared how once she rang the police after her  dad pulled a knife on her mum! o_O That's prolly  why service ended six minutes early  today~
• After service, the disabled loo lid  was down and horrid PIG mum  wouldn't lift it for me, meaning I queued in the normal female bathroom until my  turn arrived.  Wonder why PIG mum lifted the lid for me for that one?
• After washing and drying Era I hiked round the back and sat to munch my packet of Arnott's bikkies plus one little mug of milk tea without sugar. Uncle Simon came over and told me he didn't know who won the England and France World Cup grand final qualifier since he had to leave for church!
• Today, the rest of ESS enjoyed Vietnamese food for lunch while PIG mum enjoyed her weekly gossip and coffee session with her aunty friends and dragged me back to Hungry Jack's for lunch with him. I  had the smallest chicken burger (chicken royale) twelve chips and half the orange juice.
• Dad tootled us home, I used the loo for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era  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.
• Read the  day's Bible passages, used the loo for one more tinkle then   walked myself slowly and safely  back online,  rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• PIG mum's already left me some arvo tea and gone upstairs to hit the sack. Once I've used up the two most important hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle,  sit @ the gobbling :P  and finish sharing my Facebook memories before munching arvo tea and reading  for one hour.
• Toms: presuming PIG mum'll help me up and take me to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture before coming home for lunch  with dearest dad.
• Presume it's Jacinta taking me to Breathe physio toms arvo; also presume we're buying groceries before coming home for personal care.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news for the 165TH time, provided I can  watch it for the 164TH time tonight!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching  the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's, read by Wendy Kingston) for the 164TH time: Sinclair, Hanson (heard), Albanese, Bragg, Hume, Tomasi, Mbappe, Godfrey, Donovan, Fentiman, D'Alessandro, Crisafulli (heard), Camm (heard), Meares, Johnson,  Balme,Burnham, Todhunter, Chapman, McGoverne, Di Loretto, Codina, Tate, Bavas, Norris (heard), Antonelli (heard), Verstappen (heard), Piastri, Hull,  Olyslagers, Herbert, McIlroy, deChambeau, Zorko (heard), Fagan, Schmidt, Poate, Upton, Bostock, Tamika (first name, Yam, Griffin, Sabatino, heard),n  Hannay, Hamiso (first name), Williams, Wilson, Kiss (heard), Jakob (first  name, heard), Funk (heard), Bennell-Pegg, Schrinner, Arbib, Campbell, Charlton and Youngberry.

Brisbane toms:  17-23. Mt. Gravatt toms: 14-23. Sunrise: 6:35am Sunset 5:14pm

Saturday Post 330c

 Good evening again and one final  greeting for tonight! Gonna login Saturday's final, final plodding  total    @ 2460 (last Saturday's total for my final, final plodding total since I really don't feel that  I've plodded 4224 steps today. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• At 6pm,  I used the loo for one tinkle then sat  @ the loo to read match report after match report and bask in  the Broncos' glory. XD
• When    dad got home @ 6:40pm I thought   yay we'll have dinner before 7pm and my decision to skip watching the news but  then he took  ages reheating dinner meaning  we didn't eat dinner till after 7pm anyway! >< *sigh*
• Whoops outta time so super-briefly:
• Ate dinner, drank tea, took  cup  to  sink, returned online, rang Aunty Lai @ 9pm (chatted  with  her for 8:18/8:28), used loo  for one tinkle then returned  online.
• Toms:  just church, definitely nothing special. Resigned to lunch out with dad @ Hungry Jack's then  a stressful arvo @ the hands of  PIG mum. ><  But looking forward to reading the Isobelle Carmody book for one hour and hoping to  watch the 6pm news for the  64TH time!
• Anyways, looking  forward to seeing   everyone @   church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 331b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for  Saturday now stands @ 4009 (usually I'd say ha, I'm just over four grand but it doesn't feel like I've plodded four thousand steps today?) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Honest Questions'. Righteo, continuing events for today?

• After washing and drying   Era,  I head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane for my once-weekly   breakfast of a fried egg on one slice of toast very lightly smeared with avocado. I also drink another  tall full 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, reaching pg. 125 @ 10:11am.
• While I used the loo for one more tinkle, Jane shut and locked the windows.
• After climbing into Sally (Sarah's successor XD) Jane tootled us off to Underwood MarketPlace, parked underground and grabbed a trolley for us.
• Our first stop was Woolies to grab a jug of milk. Tried asking the shop   attendant minding the self-serve checkout would she please round up to $30 and slip  me  one of those packs are currently offering but she replied sorry, no, it's against  the rules.  Hey, @ least I tried! XD
• After buying groceries we headed over to Sushi Creators and I leant my right hip against the counter while Jane paid for my sushi. The guy  who recognises me saw me coming; when I raised my pointer finger signalling 'one' @ him he just nodded and immediately got a honey chicken sushi for me, so when  Jane reached the front counter too he just told her "Four dollars." Jane turned to me, asking "Aren't you going to order?" I raised my  pointer again and smirked. "I already did! He saw us coming; I  held up one finger and he nodded!" XD
• Back home I take a nice  hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Jane who helped me  rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was leftover omelette with leftover fried rice;  thanks to Jane who poured me two  more big mugs of white sweetened with one spoonful of honey. Over and after lunch I read for another twenty-five minutes, reaching page 150 @ 1:22pm.
• At 1:40pm I sit  over the loo  for  two more tinkles before Jane tootles me off to church to play  table tennis with my   dearest dad. At church I use the loo for one more tinkle but when  approaching the building was instructed to sit outside since the  floor  was met from just being mopped! I  sat  down, signing Jane off with my thanks and byes two minutes early. She's back Wednesday  and taking me to  table tennis and after WEEKS there's gonna be CAKE for Justin's 47th/48th  birthday! :D
• Yay dad lets me win again  today. XD Only I copped  EIGHT body shots from him and he nearly took my right ear off! >< I told him lucky that you  don't actually need your ears to hear. XD
• Back home I used the loo  for one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P  table to munch arvo tea (my yummy honey   chicken sushi  roll plus one huge mug of  fruit  tea) and read for another two hours and fifty-five minutes, since it's only Saturdays that I   can spend a blessed three  hours reading~ Today I finished  pg.  175 @ 2:56pm, finished arvo tea exactly  four minutes later (3pm), took a loo break @ 3:17pm, forgot about pg. 200 but reached pg.  222 @ 4:13pm and finished pg. 225 @ 4:17pm.
• Used  the loo for one tinkle then read my daily Bible passages before plopping online for myself.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 331

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard  @ work plodding 3734 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Power To Profess Christ';  thirdly, TWFT topic's 'You Will Conquer Your   Jericho (2)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Road Closed -  Spirit-Led' but  fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still  owed ONE HOUR and FOURTEEN MINUTES online after dinner tonight!! Heading over to the gobbling :P @ 6pm and not watching the news since dearest dad'll get home before 7pm. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until  8am,  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 cuddle and snore, me using  the pot :P once more when woken by PIG mum's noisy 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 Elf  for fifteen minutes last night and let her wear her sock  to  sleep, but obviously tugged it off first thing this morning! XD Once PIG mum  leaves to  await Jane's arrival, 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 PIG mum opens the door for Jane @ 9:30am, Jane knocks, opens the door and says "Good morning Em; fifteen more minutes, okay?" Daddy  Bear gives one single paw flop and just like that, she's already closed the door and left, thus denying her the chance to imperiously wave his paw 'shoo!' @ her.  XD
• 900 seconds later, I loudly announce "Jane,   I'm hungry," and transfer myself over to  the pot :P   for  one more tinkle. She comes, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom  and brush teeth. After drinking one tall cup 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! 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 331c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding  total for Friday now stands @ 6306. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I continued  reading and sharing my Facebook memories.
• At 9pm, I  walked  myself once more slowly  and safely  to  the loo for  one more tinkle and back,  again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Toms: Jane's minding me 9:30am till 1pm. Presuming we're buying my arvo  tea sushi roll plus whatever  groceries PIG mum wants from  Woolies before coming home for a shower and lunch. Yay that Jane should gimme three big mugs of white tea with sweetener~
• She'll also drop me off to church to play table tennis with dearest dad; I'm already looking forward to getting home and spending all arvo  reading since usually it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours with my nose buried in a book!
• Maybe I'll even get  to watch  the news  for  the 164TH time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing  weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.   ^^

Friday Post 331b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for  Friday now stands @ 6271 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Receive The Blessing'. Righteo, events for today?

• Yay, what better  way to end the week then with an awesome sleep last night? Nature didn't call until the noisy garbage truck THUNDERED down our road to begin tipping bins 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 not waking again for  the pot :P until  almost 9am. Shortly afterwards, PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and soon she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and give poor Elf an  exceedingly  brief  rub, since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's okay, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep last night although obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• After PIG mum lets Gabby inside @ 9:30am, she knocks, bids me good morning then says she'll    come help me up in  fifteen more minutes, okay? Daddy Bear gives one paw nod then imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo!'   @! her; Gabby smirks but wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum.   XD
• When she comes back,  I sit up, use the pot :P for three more tinkles and then we get me kitted before I head over to  the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry  Era then head out to  the gobbling :P table with Gabby, rousing @ her for only   drinking coffee for breakfast and not eating anything.
• Lol, I thought  that I only had a slice of toast very lightly spread with some avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with some salt for breakfast but PIG mum insists that I had a bowl of porridge too! Lol but I  definitely popped all my usual  drugs :P  and drank one full  mug of water. Thanks to Gabby who turned on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure. 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*
• Whoops outta time so just super-briefly:
• Physio  today: Thumb movements for both hands, one long round standing with resistance, stepping left and forward to bend and pick up ball, hold with both hands, turn to the left and throwing ball, bent to ground to retrieve balls eleven times and walk one loop of the Great Court.
• Came home, showered and made an omelette with Ari!
• Watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 163RD time. All the things I like recording  are in the previous post.
• Used loo  for one tinkle, ate dinner, drank   soup, took bowl to sink and returned online.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl    after one more tinkle @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events  for tonight plus what's happening  toms,  else hope everyone  has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  
  

Friday Post 331

Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total from last night's actually 5503 (sweet I was more than half a normal person yesterday XD);  secondly,  Joni's devotional topic from last night's 'Do The Right  Thing'; thirdly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 6022 steps (sweet I'm just over six grand!

• During the ad break  before the sports report, I  called out to  dad and reminded him please  gimme  dinner  @ 7pm; I wanna be seated on the couch @ 7:30pm to watch the Broncos play Thursday night football!
• Once  the news  ended, 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.
• Still, dad took his time reheating dinner  for me, meaning I didn't get started until 7:15pm *sigh* But I wolfed down my  food and was seated on  the couch ten minutes later! Unsure why dad wouldn't gimme mobile access nor lemme put   the footrest up like he'd already done but hey.
• At halftime we were losing but I believed in  the boys and we WON! Hence why I watched the postmatch before getting myself  to  sleep, zzz~

 Heylo again, good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Em's probable final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4808. Righteo, probable final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post I started reading and sharing my Facebook memories but precisely two hours after I started offline, I got offline, used the loo for one tinkle then sat and ate the arvo  tea PIG mum had left me before heading upstairs for pigland: one gloopy mouthful of delicious passionfruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea.
• There wasn't enough time to read for one hour today;  after finishing arvo tea I used the loo for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely back online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Hope everyone has a lovely end to  the week toms!

Thursday Post 331

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4448 steps (aww, how come I couldn't have plodded four steps fewer?? 4444 would've looked cooler! But yay that I'm over four grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional  topic from last night's 'We Work By Grace'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Acquire A Taste For God's Word"  and fourthly, Our Daily  Bread's devotional topic's 'Who Do You Need?' Anyways, events for today?

• Aww, nature prevented me from starting an awesome sleep streak last night! >< Never mind, I was prolly just too excited that I was meeting Reverend Chris and Pastor Grace for our once-termly lunch today.  *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, me waking again for the pot :P when dearest dad comes to kiss me bye and retuck me back into bed,  saying he's getting his eyes checked today!
• More happy cuddling and snoring from Daddy Bear and me, nature calling once more around 9am just before PIG mum begins her noisy 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 totally ignored my poor foot last night.  That's alright, Era rubbed Elf for fifteen minutes and let her wear her sock to sleep though obviously peeled the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• After PIG mum lets Louiza inside @ 9:30am, she knocks, opens the door and says "Hi Em;  I'll help you up in fifteen, okay?" Daddy Bear gives one paw nod that imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo!' @ her;  Louiza smirks and wisely closes the door, leaving us be and thus saving  her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• Once I've counted down from 900 I announce to Louiza that I'm hungry and swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle. She immediately  comes, 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, rousing @ her for  skipping breakfast this morning and informing her that she'd buy herself some breakfast while I was enjoying lunch with Pastor Grace and Reverend Chris today. XD
• For breakfast I  had one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE (not the bread) very lightly sprinkled with salt (hence why I licked the plate clean afterwards XD), 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*
• After breakfast,  Louiza walks behind me back  to the bathroom then returns to the kitchen and washes the breakfast dishes 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! 
• Then I take a sizzling hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Louiza who  helped me rinse out my  hair, thus freeing Era to hold my  stupid right eye tight shut. Apparently, hot showers aren't  good for you but cold ones are? I don't care; it's like the middle of Winter now; I'm freezing my socks and I need a HOT shower! Promise I'll return to warm showers once Spring  arrives.  XD
• Dried, creamed and rekitted I return to the gobbling :P table and wait while Louiza cleans the bathroom. After one more tinkle, I wash and dry  Era before climbing into the backseat of Louiza's car and she tootles me off to Calamvale Central to enjoy my once termly lunch with Reverend Chris and Pastor Grace @ Lucky Cafe!
• Unfortunately all the disabled parks are gone meaning I've gotta cross the road before catching the lift up  to where Lucky Cafe is. I hike to the back where the comfy sofa seats are then note with dismay that neither set meal (A's some curry with rice dish and B's some XO sauce dish) sets me, but luckily PIG mum left me twenty-five bucks in case and so I picked this baked fish rice  in cream sauce with a cold HK-style milk tea (Lucky Cafe doesn't offer mocha!) and three curry fish ball set for $24.70! I'm not a fan of curry but the fish balls were so  delicious I  had two; when Pastor Grace asked could she please try one of course I said yes! I offered the third to Reverend Chris but he replied no thanks.
• Grace told me to ring Louiza for pickup after I'd finished and they left exactly one hour after arriving. After Louiza came I asked her are we going back down to your car and you'll drive around to the other end of Calamvale Central before we buy groceries for mother but she replied no, your mum orders you walk all the way there and back. No biggie, but huge thanks to Louiza who got us a trolley first and during that trip I  sang 47% of my shorter second-favourite song  softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, closing the left eye for all the important numbers.
• Back home I quickly used the  loo for one more tinkle and asked Louiza to please help me remove the bra before signing her off with my thanks and byes.  She's back 8am next Thursday for GCCW!
• Once  I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo   for one tinkle then sit and eat the arvo tea PIG mum kindly left me before returning online and watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 162ND time!
• Have reminded  both parents to please gimme dinner @ 7pm since coverage of the Broncos vs.  Panthers game begins @ 7:30pm! But good grief: the Broncos have already lost the past  SIX and are playing the PANTHERS tonight ... *cringe*
• Best of all, it's ice cream night tonight;  like I  always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Toms: can't  remember who's coming @ 8am, helping me up and taking me to  the NAB for my final  NAB session with  Sarah but it's Fun Shirt Friday!
• Also can't remember what I'm cooking with the OT but   pretty sure it's  cooking week ... well,  PIG mum'll decide.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
  
  

Wednesday Post 331b

 Heylo again, good evening and oone final  greeting for tonight! Have already logged Wednesday's plodding total @ 2500, so just noting  down that Joni's devotional topic's 'He Sings A Melody  Over You' but way most importantly, that I'm really still owed FORTY-NINE MINUTES online should PIG mum order me off to bed @ the piss-early time of 9:45!! >< But noting down that I had great  fun @ Toastmasters last night and enjoyed my   3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night (bid Daddy Bear sweet  dreams,  fell asleep and didn't wake till 7:45am. Hiked around Underwood Lake with PIG mum  this morning before coming home for lunch then Jane took me to play table tennis  but good grief,  traffic was terrible and even though  we left  @ 4:15pm we didn't get home till 5:40pm! Couldn't source a ride to the first GG of term three so went to church   and played table tennis with dearest dad again~ Toms Louiza's minding me from 9:30am  but @ midday we're meeting Pastor Grace for lunch  @ Lucky Cafe! Will get home and shower before Louiza goes @ 2:30pm. Have asked PIG mum to please gimme dinner @ 7pm since the Broncos are playing the Panthers @ 7:50pm and it's a MUST WIN should the Broncos take the premiership again!! Fat chance, I know ... ><"  XD

Cheers,
Em. ^^

Monday Post 330d

 One final good evening and greeting  for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @  2504. Ha, I'm literally just over 2.5 grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• Forgot to  add boxing to  the end of today's physio list! XD
• After one loo trip I  climbed back into Jacinta's car and she tootled us off to buy groceries from the Sunny Patk  Woolies. I like grocery shopping with the carers more than the parents since they lemme sit on the self-serve checkout.
• Best of all,  there's enough change for a soft serve from Maccas before  returning home!
• 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, arvo tea's one yummy  banana, one plain cracker and TWO big mugs of white tea with one spoonful of honey  since Jacinta's found where sneaky   PIG mum's hidden  the honey! I happily read for one hour, reaching pg. 111 @ 5:36pm.
• At  5:55pm I sit over the loo for two tinkles then sign Jacinta off with my  thanks and byes. Not seeing her for two/three weeks now; she's heading interstate with her boyfriend/partner and visiting their family!
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 161ST time. All the things I like  recording  are @ the bottom of today's first post.
• Almost outta time,  so just briefly: had the usual  boiled, bland and tasteless dinner,   read for another fifteen minutes (since I like reading for one hour each day where possible;  I reached pg. 111 @ 7:57pm), returned online then used loo for  one more tinkle @ 9pm.
• Toms: Peggy's minding me from  9:30am till 4pm. She'll  help me up, take me to Pinelands Coles to buy groceries and get a bahn mi   for lunch from the Pinelands Bakehouse, take  me to  UQ physio for two hours then see me home and showered before leaving  @ 4pm.
• Still waiting for  CODA to lemme know who's taking me to  Toastmasters toms night ...
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day  toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 330c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding  total for Monday now stands @ 2460 (so will have hopefully  reached 2.5 grand before tonight ends XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed SEVENTEEN MINUTES  online after using the loo once more  @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing Monday's events?

• Breakfast is one slice of  dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully    very lightly sprinkled with  toast,  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*
• After breakfast, I   walk myself slowly  and safely online, 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 buckle my own  seatbelt. The parents climb inside too and dearest dad tootles me off to see Ray  for  some  acupuncture and massage.  Yay, I like it   when   dad drives since he'll park right by  the fence unlike PIG mum, who just parks up the driveway.

• Dad  drops PIG mum and I off then heads for Bunnings, saying he'll pick us  up in one hour. PIG mum and I hike inside and greet Ray,  welcoming him  back from his interstate holidays. Mostly I'm just  disappointed he forgot  to  bring me back   a souvenir. XED

• I use the loo for one tinkle then lie down for some massage and acupuncture.  PIG mum must've missed her chance to yap these past two weeks while Ray was interstate hence made up for  it today, repeating multiple syllables before continuing. XD My grateful  thanks  to  Ray who  always replied and kept a conversation flowing. Me, I liked the shoulder  CPR the best. Oh,  Elf's thigh felt the good pain I've grown to understand! 

• After one more tinkle, dad picked us up and tootled us home. I booted up the  computer and started reading the  day's Bible passages  while the parents reheated lunch  and summoned me when it was ready.

• Lunch was  one bowl  of  tasteless rice leftovers and spooned down with a bowlful of  soup. After taking the bowl over to the sink I 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.

• At 1:55pm I  sat over the loo  for two tinkles then was by  the door awaiting Jacinta's arrival  @ 2pm.

• Jacinta arrived, I climbed into   the passenger seat of  her  car, she kindly helped me buckle my seatbelt (as she kindly  did all day) then tootled me off to Breathe for physio. We arrive early enough to have ten minutes to play on our phones before Jacinta takes me  in, leaves me  with Winnie then goes and buys herself some lunch.

• Physio today: 1.616km 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 extensions for Elf, forty leg extensions for Erf, forty leg curls for Elf, forty leg curls 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 330b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final good evening for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ exactly  2300 (nice number XD)  and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Rejoice In What God Has Given You' but thirdly and way most importantly I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and ONE MINUTE online after dinner tonight!! Righteo, potential final, final  events for Monday?

• PIG mum returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me too  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..
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 892 steps (but  going out again next); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Faith Expels Guilt, Greed And Fear'; thirdly, TWFT topic's  'Be A Team Player' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Drastic Love" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-THREE MINUTES online after I get home from physio and watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 161ST time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, what better way to start the working week than with an awesome sleep last night! Shh  about the  lbl @ 12:30am; I've got my monthlies, am wearing pull-up  parts so just sat up and caught it. XD
• Nature didn't call until 7:30am 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 cuddle and snore, nature calling again around one hour later. Following one more hour of  cuddling and snoring, PIG mum begins her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs and 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 totally ignored my   poor foot last night, like she's done for the past WEEK! >< That's alright, Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes last night  and let her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously removed it first thing  this morning! XD
• After PIG mum hits me with the eye goo she helps me exceedingly slightly with  absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out my tee before  leaving me  to   get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling  into the tops then  giving  myself fifteen more minutes first.
  Cheers,

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1538. See? Told you I'd crack 1.5 grand! XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• Phew, yes! I reached pg. 125 @ 4:21pm and reached pg. 150 plus FINISHED THE BOOK @ 4:50pm!! The About The Author section was finished five minutes later, and EVERYTHING was finished @ 4:56pm! Then I had just over ten minutes to continue reading the Isobel Carmody book; oh, I wish I wasn't such a slow reader since I'd love to go through the Obernewtyn (sp?) series again!!
• Exactly one hour after I started reading I went and took  a shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I  also sang 20% of my  shorter second-favourite song sodtly,  sloowly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually I   was done after only 10% but  happily leaned fully   against  the right side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling   PIG mum back.
• Only twenty minutes left, so just super-briefly:
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, I watched the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 160TH time before we had our once-weekly family dinner out @ Ho Lin Wah. My achievement for the week: I could read both set meals! XD
• Got home, returned online then used loo for one more tinkle @ 9pm. Just eep that the right side of my idiot head started aching tonight ... PIG mum originally said she'd gimme Nurofen but she's forgotten. XD
• Toms: Ray's back from Japan so I'm seeing him for some acupuncture and massage! Bet   PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him; me, I'm just hoping he's remembered to bring me back a souvenir! XD But obviously I'll not ask~
• Hope PIG mum remembers to take me grocery shopping afterwards, else maybe expect a super-pissy plodding total from me?
• Jacinta's coming @ 2pm and taking me to Breathe for physio @ 3pm then seeing me home and showered before leaving @ 6pm.
• Hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 161ST time!
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 1498 (so will have definitely cracked 1.5 grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The  Widow And The Oil'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Precisely two hours after starting my most important two hours of the day, I got offline, used the loo for one tinkle then sat to munch arvo tea and read for one hour; SURELY, I'd finish the tiny book club novel I started yesterday??
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1041 steps  (ha, I'm just over one grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'We Experience The Spirit Through Faith'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Start Your Day With God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Acting On God's Promises".. Anyways, events for  today?

• Aww, since nature already called once @ 11:55am I was hopeful for an awesome night's sleep but unsure why she called again around 2:3oam with another full bladder? Doesn't matter; luckily I'd achieved  my 10TH week of consecutive awesome sleeps the night before,  else I'd have been really pissed! >< XDFollowing the  first daylight pot :P  trip I immediately did the exercises Winnie taught me to prevent further back pain then 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 @ 7am 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 before sleep and let  her wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• After PIG mum helps exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying the tops out,  she leaves me to get  myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately  struggling into the tops then giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum returns to finish 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 slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason, the PLATE (not the bread?) very lightly sprinkled with salt (hence why I lick the plate clean after eating XD) , 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*
• After breakfast I walk myself slowly and safely back to the loo, 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 buckle my 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 myself for one tinkle (the seat's up but   so's the lid), wash and dry Era then grab my usual spot for  service. PIG mum bolts back upstairs,
• Yay, I  get to stay seated for worship   today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs but  like  every other week, mean absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh* Mostly I'm just proud that my lyrics didn't glitch and I didn't need to look @ Kwany for help! XD
• Speaker today was Pastor Timothy; his sermon topic was Our God's A God IOf Promise. Today I learnt that he's married without kids yet  and afterwards Kwany told me that he's older than Pastor Timothy, which prolly means I'm older than him too, since Kwany's only slightly older than me!
• Service also ended thirty-two minutes early  today, since there weren't  any announcements! After everyone cleared out, Kwany hung around for a few minutes, telling me that term three starts toms but when he left to pickup his kids I just  happily played some  match three game until   PIG mum came for me; obviously, church's a safe place~ XD
• After using  the loo independently  for another tinkle, I hiked around to  the back where dad already had a pack of Arnott's bikkies plus one cup of milk but seemingly sugarless tea ready for me.
• Today, Uncle Peter Ko   sat beside me and showed me photos from his recent trip to Iceland; apparently you  can't fly  direct  there!
• While PIG mum was enjoying her once-weekly gossip   and coffee social with  her aunty  friends and the rest of EM was enjoying Korean food together for lunch, dad made me eat @ the Rochedale Hungry Jack's again. Yesterday already marked ONE WHOLE WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out.
• Just a cheeseburger for me today (Hungry Jack's cheeseburgers are yucky since they  come with mustard), exactly ten chips, like 1/3 of the orange juice and one mouthful of the disgusting  free coffee.
• After dad tootled us home I used the loo for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era 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  the most important  two hours of the day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, finish  sharing my Facebook memories then munch the arvo tea PIG mum left for me before heading upstairs and hitting pigland.
• Toms: Ray's still holidaying interstate I'm pretty sure but fingers crossed PIG mum'll help  me up not too late and take me for walkies somewhere before coming home for lunch else expect a super-pissy plodding total  for me.
• I'm sure we'll come  home for  lunch with dearest  dad  (even though today marks one whole WEEK since I last enjoyed a proper meal out) before Jacinta comes @ 1/2 and takes me to   Breathe fpr physio. Presuming  we'll  buy  groceries  before coming home for personal care.
• Looking  forward to  watching the 6pm news for the 160TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyoone a smashing  week  ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 One final good  evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final  plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 2460. Aw, sorry: not quite  3.5 grand; maybe toms.  XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After chatting with Aunty Lai for 11:09, 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:  just church, definitely nothing special. While PIG mum enjoys her once-weekly coffee and gossip  social and her aunty friends dad'll make me eat  lunch with him @ Hungry Jack's again.  *sigh* That marks one whole WEEK  since enjoyed a proper  lunch out; incredibly disappointed PIG mum didn't lemme out for lunch  with Louiza after Ken's funeral yesterday ...
• Also expecting a stressful arvo @ the hands of PIG mum. *another sigh* But hoping  to  read for another hour toms arvo  and even watch  the 6pm news bulletin for the 160TH time!
• Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 330b

 Heylo again and good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding  total for Saturday now stands @ 2405 (so may not make 2.5 grand before tonight ends, sorry XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Gain By Losing'. Righteo,  events for today?

• Woo hoo, 7th consecutive awesome sleep last night; that's the 10TH time this year I've achieved one straight week of consecutive awesome sleeps! :D
• Like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7am, 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* Back in bed I  realise my monthlies have arrived and silently congratulated PIG mum for already sticking a pad into  my knickers last night saying it's coming soon.
• Before returning too happy snorings with Daddy Bear I do one set of those exercises Winnie  taught me to prevent further back  pain; when nature calls again about one hour later, after other pot :P trip, 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*
• PIG mum beginning her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs around 9am wakes me once more for the pot; Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with  the eye goo  before returning outside and awaiting Pele's arrival.
• After PIG mum let's Pele inside, she teaches Pele to gimme fifteen more minutes. Pele knocks, opens the door and sys Good morning? Fifteen more minutes ... Daddy Bear gives one paw nod them imperiously flicks his paw 'shoo'! @ her! Pele smirks with laughter but wisely withdraws, thus saving her from the wrath of the Bear Bum. XD
• Once I've counted down from 900 I swing myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle and we get me kitted before I  head over to the  bathroom and brush teeth. After drinking one full  cup 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 Pele. Breakfast's my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with  avocado, another  full cup of water,  all  my usual  drugs :P and my first  delicious big mug of white  tea sweetened with  two  sugars. Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes.
• Reading done, I ask Pele to gimme some sunscreen (my face and both hands) before she walks behind me to the loo  before  returning  to the kitchen to wash  the breakfast  stuff up.
• After sitting over the loo   for one tinkle, I wash and  dry Era then climb into the backseat of Pele's car. She helps with my   seatbelt (as she kindly does all day)  and then tootles us  off to Underwood Marketplace,  parking outside the front entrance and grabbing a trolley for us.
• First, we both buy  groceries from Woolies and then  I order my honey chicken sushi roll from The Sushi Creators, reminding  Pele she promised to buy sth too, since she hadn't  eaten breakfast this morning. She buys a big pack of kaarage chiicken  sushi but then  decides she's too  hungry and asks me,  "Can we  sit and eat now?" I reply sure! We seat and I pull my phone out;  when she gobbles one then shoves the packet @ me, indicating eat I politely demur,  saying I've got my honey  chicken sushi for arvo tea. When she's insistent I explain that I can't manage chopsticks anymore but Pele immediately heads back to the sushi place and gets a wooden spork for me! They're too flimsy for scooping  rice but suffice for stabbing sushi; I say thanks then enjoy a few delicious chicken kaarage sushi.
• Back home I take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Pele who kindly helps me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye fully shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch's a  HUGE bowl of   rice leftovers that I can't  finish  before it's time to leave for church! Pele kindly makes me two more big mugs sweetened with  two teaspoonfuls of sugar. I happily read for another twenty-five minutes, reaching page twenty-five @ 12:21pm.
• Before leaving, I sit over the loo for  two more tinkles then @ church Pele takes me  to the loo for one more tinkle before I say my thanks and byes to her.
  
• Aww, dad lemme win  again - in straight sets; he even lemme win the last set he wanted to win  to save face! Only he got six body shots on me, hence why I whined to  PIG mum that she'd better bok him for me. XD
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 1015. Ha, I'm just over one  grand. XD Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When PIG mum  summoned me for dinner @ 7:38pm, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  Cheers,

 Heylo again, good evening  and potentially one final  greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential   final, final  plodding total  for Friday now  stands @ only 943 (but will have hopefully cracked 1000  before Thursday ends) and secondly,  Joni's devotional topic's 'Follow Me'.

• At 5:45pm, once I'd used up  the most  important two hours of my day, I headed over to  the gobbling :P to  enjoy arvo tea (one gloopy mouthful of delicious passionfruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green/herbal tea that  tasted BITTER since the passionfruit  was really  sweet! ><  XD
• One quick tinkle before I  returned online.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's)    for  the 158TH time. All the things I like recording are @ the bottom of   today's first post.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl  after  dinner else wishing everyone  a smashing  weekend ahead!

Friday Post 330

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard  @ work plodding only 870 steps (since I've used Sparkless3 but will hopefully reach 1000 before the night's out);  secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Six Ways Jesus Fought Depression';  thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Holy Communion' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'God Watching Over Us'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 6th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Despite me praying before bed last night asking Got   please don't send the noisy garbage truck THUNDERING down our road to tip bins until AFTER the Sun has risen fully enough that I can clearly see the time from the clock on the wall, God replied screw you and sent that noisy beat HURTLING down the road when the sky  had only just started lightening and 'twas definitely too dark to see the clock! >< Doesn't matter; I just went screw You back  and successfully fell back asleep without incident. When I've been frustrated PIG mum's heard me telling God I'm not gonna let You win and she sneers @ me, who  are you to  win  God? Me: I'm not,  obviously. Hello, He's GOD. I'm just saying that I'm not gonna let Him win. Case in point today: I  successfully fell back asleep without incident.
• Nature doesn't call  again until  PIG mum's daily loud a-THUMPING around wakes me; I'm actually still sitting over the pot :P when she lets herself into my room to  hit me with the eye goo and  help me exceedingly slightly with  absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and laying out  the tops before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after immediately struggling into  the tops 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 slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with some avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with some salt, one mug of warm unsweetened Milo, all my usual drugs :P  and one full mug of water. Thanks to PIG mum who kindly turned on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure! 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 finishing breakfast, I walk myself slowly  and safely back to the toilet, 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 sit by the front door and await Louiza's arrival. Once she gets here, Spatkless3 goes into her carboot, I climb into the passenger seat and Louiza tootles  me off to Ken's funeral and unloads me into Sparkless3 before taking me to  the disabled loo once. Then we just wait on the veranda; lol we're so  early nobody else from GCCW has arrived yet!
• But phew, Nancy, Stewart and Alison soon  arrive as does Stan who's driven his wife Jan, Alison and Pat~
• Once the room's open I head inside and transfer to a most  left seat  about halfway down the room. Louiza stashes away Sparkless3 then sits beside me; Stan and Jan complete the row while Rob, Sattya, Stewart and Pat sit one row ahead.
• It's a secular  service without  any hymns sung nor preaching from any pastor but Ken's relatives (one son, two daughters together and one granddaughter) plus Rob for GCCW speak. It's a closed casket funeral.
• When everyone starts filing out, Louiza gets Sparkless3 for  me,  while a funeral attendant waits with me.
• Ken's plot is quite close to    the chapel/service hall  and I'm very impressed with  how high tech  things are now! His coffin was lowered smoothly without labour into his grave and then  everyone came and put a little spadeful  of dirt into the still open grave. At  first Louiza said she thinks only  family are invited to   do that but when I saw non-family members lining up to do it too I told Louiza I wanted to   as well;  would she please push me over there/could she walk  behind  me? We'd come off the main road and were  on the grass but Louiza still managed to push Sparkless 3 over; someone handed me the little spade with dirt inside, I tipped  it's contents into the open grave over the closed casket and whispered a final  goodbye to Ken.
• And that was it! Back near the entrance, we all sat around round tables and nibbled fancy morning tea (healthy sandwiches, mini quiches, fruit and some sweet slice). 
• Before  leaving Louiza took me once more to  the loo  and Maureen came for a hug goodbye.
• Back inside the car I asked Louiza did mother gimme money for lunch and since she replied no, rang PIG  mum and asked um, what was lunch? PIG mum just  replied come home.
• Took 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 tasteless rice leftovers and one huge mug of green tea.
• Louiza cleaned the bathroom and I sat once more over the loo for  two tinkles before signing her off with my  thanks and byes. Can't remember when she's coming back.
• Once I've used up the  most important two hours of my day online (5:45pm) I'll quietly wolf down arvo  tea, use the loo for one tinkle then watch  the 6pm news  bulletin (Nine's) for the 158TH time.
• Toms:  someone new's minding me... Pele! Sorry she's been  @  least once before! She's from Care Agency; hopefully she'll feed me three big mugs of white tea with  sweetener~
• Presume we're getting my sushi roll for arvo  tea plus whatever groceries PIG mum wants from Woolies?
• Will prolly play table tennis with   dad @ church toms arvo then looking to reading all arvo:  starting the book  club novel  toms with  three hours' reading and it's only  a tiny book this time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl,  else wishing everyone a smashing weekend ahead!
