 One final good evening and greeting for tonight!  Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3805. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

•  After publishing the previous post, I continued chatting with Annie over Facebook Messenger; baby Rhys is only like three weeks old!
• At 9pm I walked myself once more slowly and safely to the loo for one last 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 an appointment for some massage and acupuncture. Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD Me, I'm hoping that he's brought me another Melona ice cream like he did one year ago today! XD
• PIG mum says we can grocery shop afterwards before coming home for lunch with dearest dad, hence why I'm expecting a normal plodding total toms.
• Somone new called Jane's taking me to table tennis! Hope she's nice; also hope there's cake toms! XD
• Jane will see me home and showered before leaving @ 6:30pm; I'm hoping to watch the 6pm news bulletin for TH time and have reminded PIG mum to please gimme dinner once Jane leaves @ 6:30pm since David's coming to pick me up for the first GG of term four Bible study @ 7:15pm! In the past he's come @ 6:45pm and I've BYO'd dinner but toms night David says he wants to eat dinner with Dr. Esther before she works night shift first.
• Righteo,  hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

Tuesday Post 513c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3711 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'No One Cares As Jesus Cares'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Once I'd   used up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle then sat down to eat the morning tea PIG mum had kindly left me (one tasty cracker, one mouthful of gloopy passionfruit and one huge mug of   green tea) before hitting pigland upstairs and happily read The Daily Telegraph for another hour.
• Used the loo for one tinkle, returned online and happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 204TH time. All the things I like reading are in the previous post.
•   When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:28pm, 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.
• Dinner tonight:  rice, lotsa lettuce, lotsa soup   carrot, lotsa soup potato, two tasteless slices of soup beef and one slice of delicious chicken. Dad also gave me one little cube of cheese; when I asked didn't PIG mum say I could have one after I finished dinner dad replied I'll give you another afterwards.
• 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.
• When I  remembered that dad had promised me  another  little block of cheese after dinner, I  called out to  PIG mum, who   asked dad was  that true? Dad said I already gave  you one! Lol, I can't be bothered pushing him for another  one;  after all, it's THEIR anniversary   present that I'm  eating. XD
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip @ 9pm following one last loo   trip  with my final, final plodding  total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's  happening  toms  else wishing everyone a smashing Wednesday ahead!
  
  Cheers,

Tuesday Post 513

 Good afternoon!  Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3307 steps; secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Happy God'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'A Life-Enriching Habit' and fourthly, Our Daily   Bread's devotional topic's 'What Will God Dp'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Like yesterday, 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*

•  Mini Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, nature calling once more around 9am just before noisy 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 before going back outside and awaiting Peggy's arrival @ 9:30am.

• After PIG mum lets Peggy in, she knocks, opens the door and announces good morning. When I wave Mini Pearl @ Peggy, she squeals and goes, oh, I've not seen you before! Having no appendages to wave Peggy 'shoo' with, I just flick his body in a 'shoo' motion and Peggy laughs. "Oh, that's right. Fifteen more minutes first."  Mini Pearl wiggles 'shoo' again, Peggy laughs and wisely leaves; phew, since just Pearl, Mini Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD XD

•  When Peggy comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who squirts me some toothpaste. 

• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who tells me that she had her two usual fried eggs for breakfast this morning.

• All I get for breakfast's one bowl of healthy cereal (the sticky All-Bran and Minus :P), all my usual drugs :P and one tall cup of water. Luckily, after PIG mum leaves for her Pilates class, Peggy finds where she's sneakily hidden the syrup and makes me one massive, delicious mug of Earl Grey tea sweetened with one spoonful of honey. 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, Peggy accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to the kitchen and washing up 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 Auto (pronounced Alto). Peggy kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt) what she kindly does all day) and then she tootles me off to Pinelands Plaza to get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Aunty Nancy @ the Pinelands Bakehouse.

• Peggy parks across the road not too far down from the bakery and grabs a trolley for us.  When Aunty Nancy's heating up the crunchy pork  bahn mi for me, she very excitedly tells me that I'll see her next week when I buy another bahn mi but then she's flying interstate to visit friends before flying home to visit family!

• Our other stops Calamvale Central for groceries then I sit outside Woolies on the bench and wait while Peggy buys fresh produce from the Mega Discount Fruit Market.

• Back home, I took a nice warm shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was my delicious crunchy pork bahn mi (Peggy made it crunchy by putting it into the sandwich press) plus another huge mug of Earl Grey tea sweetened with one spoonful of syrup. While I enjoyed lunch, Peggy cleaned the bathroom and wrote the shift notes.

• Less than thirty minutes left, so just briefly:

• Signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes when she left @ 2pm. She's back same time next week and will give Mini Pearl another pearl! <3 XD

• One tinkle for me before I plopped online.

• Once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo for one tinkle, sit to continue reading The Daily Telegraph and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea.

• Toms: hope PIG mum helps me up shortly after 9am and takes me grocery shopping somewhere.

• Someone new called Jane McMasters will take me to   table tennis @ 1:30pm! Hope she's nice~ Also hope there's cake! XD

• Once Jane leaves @ 6:45pm I've asked PIG mum to please gimme dinner since David's coming to pick me up for GG Bible study @ 7:15pm! But looking forward to watching the 6pm news for the 204TH time!

• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Monday Post 513d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2284. Righteo,  final, final events for tonight?

• Since PIG mum couldn't find the Courier Mail, she'd bought a copy of The Daily Telegraph instead! I happily read that and gloried in the Broncos winning the NRL premiership for the first time in nineteen years while Lorraine very gently massaged Ela for one hour. 
• At 5:55pm I sat over the loo for two tinkles before signing Lorraine off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next week/the Monday after.
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 203RD time.  All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
• When the parents summoned me over for dinner sometime after 7:15/7:30pm, 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 wombok, lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup tomato,  lotsa soup potato and one soup bone with nearly all the meat already gone.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of fairly yucky 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.
• 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 from 9:30pm till 2pm and score, I've not got physio until Thursday since Winnie and Shirley are still camping!
• PIG mum says we can buy groceries @ Calamvale Central and then come back to Pinelands Bakehouse to get my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse.
• Nothing happening after Peggy leaves; looking forward to my two most important hours of the day and hoping to watch the 6pm news for the 204TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  

   

Monday Post 513c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2180 (See? Told you I'd crack two grand! XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed SIXTEEN MINUTES online after I use the loo once more @ 9pm!! Anyways, continuing today's events?

• Breakfast is one bowl of two healthy cereals, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, 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*
• After 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 climbed into the backseat of the car and buckled my seatbelt. Dad was taking us to catch a bus into the city to celebrate the King's birthday public holiday!
• Only when I wheeled onto the bus, a girl wearing a Broncos jersey and holding a crutch beckoned me over and even put up one of the three folded seats for me!
• We started chatting; turns out they were going to Suncorp Stadium to welcome the Broncos home as reigning   NRL champions for 2025! I told dad and we immediately   had a change of plans: instead of going to the city, we were attending the fan day!
• First, we stopped @ The Sushi Hub for a spot of lunch and then we wheeled me to the stadium! After catching the lift up, turns out everyone was waiting on one side and a stage had been put up on the field! I parked next to some lady using an electric wheelchair.
• Very impressed: even the PREMIER was here and spoke!
• Then the field was opened for us! Some usher lady asked did we wanna head out; when we said yes, she led us back away from some seats, down a lift and out!
• Actually, we were still pretty far away from the stage hence why I just watched the big screen~
• When all the talking was finished and people were finally allowed to mingle, I thought I'd wheel over and try find some player to sign my jersey, but dad decided 'twas time to leave? Doesn't matter~
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era then walked myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• When Lorraine announced her arrival, thanks to PIG mum who let her in, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door. I noted the time down and immediately headed into   the bathroom myself.
• She says she arrived pm but just took time signing in; I asked her next Monday could you please come and bang the door first before signing in? Else I'm gonna fret that you're late/forgot to come! XD
• So a nice warm shower for me -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Lorraine who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo  tea's one mouthful of gloopy passionfruit, one tasty cracker and one mug of green tea. Originally PIG mum had put the teabag into the white tea with   two sugars biggest mug, but I just told Lorraine to swap it for the smallest one.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
