Wednesday Post 438d

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 3869. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • At 9pm I used the loo for one more tinkle but instead of walking back to the computer I headed over to the kitchen and stood @ the stove coz PIG mum said time to cook taro cake!
  • First she bagged me out for tipping the oil too vigorously and then she bagged me out for tipping the wrong ingredient in. XD But she kindly took photos for me; hopefully I'll share some onto Facebook toms.
  • The cooking done, I sat back down and tipped all the flour (two different types) in, before PIG mum added seven cups of water and one cup of chicken stock.
  • While she readied the gluggy gloop for baking, I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Toms: Karina's taking me for my fortnightly shopping trip, hurrah!
  • Meeting Pastor Grace for lunch @ midday @ midday, not 1pm, @ Woka Warrigal since she has some meeting to attend @ 1! Hopefully will have time to read @ the library for one hour; I figure I can grab groceries from the Warrigal Square Woolies after lunch if need be.
  • PIG mum's not working toms; hopefully she'll not be too tired and dearest dad will take us out for dinner together toms night!
  • Righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

  • When the parents summoned me over for dinner @ 7:58pm, I used the loo for one tinkle and 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.
  • Entree was one little corn cobbette dad stabbed a chopstick through and then dinner tonight was rice, lotsa yummy cabbage, lotsa soup carrot and some tomato pork mince. Maybe even one slice of chicken! XD
  • Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl after one final loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 2970. Ooh, I'm certain I'll have passed three grand before the day's out! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

  • Eep, nobody arrived @ 4pm hence @ 4:10pm I rang CODA and asked to speak with Michelle.
  • Argh, Michelle rang back and said even all agency are unavailable. >< I said make sure Karina/someone comes toms morning since PIG mum works every Thursday! After I hung up, I yelled the news upstairs to PIG mum and then asked may I shower now? SAhe replies yeah so I head into the bathroom.
  • I take a nice hot shower - I wash and rinse my own hair today. I also sing 20% of my shorter second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud. Actually, I'm all done after 11% but happily lean fully against the right side rail and water myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
  • After she dried my back and the back of the chair for me, I did everything else and she didn't feature again until Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
  • After drying the loo seat, I sat for one tinkle, stamped both feet dry, dried inside both ears, washed and dried Era and 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.
  • Eep Nine's news bulletin froze shortly after it begun! Luckily, the parents hadn't left for walkies yet and thanks to PIG mum who turned the television on for me; I crashed on the couch and watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 178TH time!
  • News over, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then 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.
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
    P.S. Phew: apparently my mobile resurrected! XD
    Cheers,

Wednesday Post 438

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2622 steps (ha, I'm over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "Christ's Sufferings In Us"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Where Do You Stand With Jesus?' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "Grasping God's Word". Anyways, events for today?

  • Yay, for the first time in three days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:05am 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* 
  • Usually, nature calls hourly after that first morning pot :P trip but happiness was snoring soundly until dearest dad silently and very thoughtfully walked down the hallway and unpopped the lock leading into the garage before waking again to relieve myself.
  • After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me back into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore for about another hour, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me with exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing but the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
  • PIG mum comes back to help with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both laces, after which I let her gleefully FORCE :( me too walk to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and 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 bowl of Minus :P, 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 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 4WD and she tootles me off to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Obviously, she gleefully forces me to buckle my own seatbelt all day, we listen to 97.3FM most of the day and Era helps Ela stretch for forty minutes, before Ela opens and closes her palm 250 times, holding each for a count of five. 
  • At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some acupuncture and massage. PIG mum was in her element, yapping unceasingly @ Ray; my gracious thanks to him who always replied and kept a conversation flowing. I've told her that it's okay to slow down; since I'm full of needles she gets to do all the talking but she simply can't control her excitement: today she repeated one syllable seven times before moving onto the next one! XD
  • After I used the loo for one more tinkle I got a Weis bar (mango) from Ray, because when he removed a needle from Elf, he made me BLEED! o_O Don't worry, just a droplet; can't remember when we made the deal saying if you make me bleed you owe me ice cream but I told him I'd collect the ice cream next Wednesday and he's like nah I've got some here for you right now. Yum! Not only that, he fed lucky PIG mum some kinda mochi ice cream too!
  • After leaving Ray's, PIG mum next tootles me off to APO for more readjustments to Elf's boot. Pity that Gina's not there and the receptionist working today doesn't offer me a cuppa! XD When Peter takes the AFO away, I warn him not to touch the ankle area coz that's perfect. While he's gone, I post an upload onto Facebook fretting about my mobile because last night it had very low battery; I turned it off (since PIG mum says mobiles charge faster when they're off) and tried to charge it only nothing happened? I told PIG mum and asked her to please check it out for me but this morning she says she thinks it's died! o_O
  • I'd told Peter please not to touch the ankle area since I'm walking without pain right now; he said sure and just flared it out some? Ankle's still going okay, phew~
  • Back home, I used the loo once and then PIG mum fed me one bowl of rice leftovers lunch. She had vermicelli herself and watched YouTube from the TV, while I borrowed her mobile and watched YouTube myself.
  • After one tinkle, I plopped online but oh noes, CODA rang to say Nisha's sick and they can't find anyone to mind me from 4-6pm! o_O I've asked them to please keep looking and will ring @ 4:10pm should nobody show up.
  • Toms: Karina's taking me for my fortnightly shopping trip, yay!
  • Looking forward to meeting Pastor Grace for lunch @ Woka Warrigak @ midday. We usually meet @ 1pm but today Pastor Grace has some meeting that needs her attendance @ 1pm, hence the earlier lunchtime.
  • Wonder will dad take us out for dinner toms night?
  • Anyways, hopefully bbl else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 437c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ exactly 3500. Actually, 'twas 3499 but I was so unsatisfied with that number I pushed the chair back, stood up, took one more step forward with Elf and then sat back down. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

  • After publishing the previous post, I played Jewel Hereos for ten minutes since I'd already exceeded the PISSY two hour time limit PIG mum gleefully restricts me to. Oh, have I said yet? While I was sitting in Vincent's waiting room, I passed another two levels!
  • At 9pm, I walked myself once more slowly and safely 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: PIG mum'll help me up, since she's taking me to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage in the morning. Bet she's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD
  • She'll definitely insist on coming home for lunch but hopefully I can persuade her to take me grocery shopping somewhere afterwards else I don't see how I'm gonna pass 1000 steps.
  • Someone's coming to mind me 4-6pm but PIG mum's forgotten who.
  • Fingers crossed I can read for one hour and watch the 6pm new bulletin for the 178TH time!
  • Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 437b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 3410 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "The Devil's Real Weapon'. Righteo, continuing today's events?

  • When Hannah arrives and PIG mum lets her in, she says "Good morning Emily; fifteen more minutes..." Pearl nods @ her and she wisely removes herself. XD
  • After Hannah comes back fifteen minutes later, I use the pot :P once more for three tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I use 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 two/three Weet-Bix with a tiny stream of honey, 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 bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

  • After washing and drying Era, I climb into Hannah's tank and she tootles me off to physio. Connor greets me on arrival; after I take a seat, both Hannah and I give him pats~

  • Physio today with Eric: Shoulder blade retraction (three sets of twelve for both hands), resistance band pulling apart for legs sideways pulling, .582km bike ride and shoulders lift four sets of twelve for both hands.

  • Afterwards, Hannah tootles me off to Calamvale Central to get my weekly bahn mi. Upon entering, the owner uncle sees me, immediately raises his hand in greeting and calls hi; I raise Green Sticky off the floor slightly and call greetings back. Then the aunty with the better English asks me, crackling pork? Aww I feel like a loyal customer; she even remembers my order! XD I nod and add "No chilli, please." While she's away making it, I catch the uncle's eye and ask him, "Melbourne Cup today. You watch?" (I keep my English simple with him coz his English isn't the best). He replies, "Used to." Why stop? I ask him? His answer makes me laugh. "I not win!" XD

  • With the bahn mi, I hike back to Hannah's tank and she tootles me home. PIG mum meets us @ the door and says I've gotta shower most quick else we'll be late to see Peter. But it's only 1pm and Hannah doesn't leave till 2pm? Hannah says maybe shower half fast?

    So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. I showered half fast but then had the time to finish a normal speed shower since Hannah didn't come tell me to hurry up, like she said she would if I took too long. XD

  • I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Hannah rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Erf's sock and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.

  • Back outside, lunch was my yummy pork salad roll (which had for some odd reason gotten squashed?) and one warm mug of some infusion. Dad arrived home @ 1:58pm and immediately ordered Hannah to leave? She's back again same time next Tuesday.

  • I use the loo for one tinkle and then climb into the backseat of dad's 4WD. PIG mum hops into the passenger seat and dad tootles us all off to APO, taking a slightly different route to the one PIG mum takes.

  • Upon entry, lovely Gina immediately offers us all cuppas but PIG mum turns that down. Huh, should I ever need to visit again and she makes the offer, I'm gonna say yes right away coz I would've loved a white tea with two sugars!

  • Peter meets dad for the first time! We all head into the consulting room, he slots the new brace onto Elf and sends me for a walk. I head back out to the reception and visit Gina, telling her I was spared any nightmares last night since my teddy protected me but thanked her very sincerely for not wearing that bloody eyeball necklace again. XD

  • Back home, I use the loo once and then PIG mum passes me one banana for arvo tea. I continue reading and finish the Jodi Picoult novel!

  • I use the loo and then plop online, happily watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 177TH time!

  • Originally dad had demanded I play table tennis with him after watching the news but since he didn't eat any arvo tea like I did he was hungry and summoned me over for dinner shortly after 7pm! XD Before joining him @ the gobbling :P table, I used the loo for one tinkle.

  • Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa lettuce, lotsa soup carrot, some tomato mince and like one tiny slice of chicken.

  • Dinner was spooned down with half a bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I 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.

  • Righteo, hopefully bbl after one more loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight plus what's happening toms, else wishing everyone a smashing Wednesday ahead!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 437

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3192 steps (ha, I'm over three grand XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'The Seminary Of Suffering'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "Are You Doing God's Will?" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Better Together' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and SEVEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 177TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

  • Nature called once around 2:45am last night; I woke again for the pot :P around 6:20am when dearest dad pulled the bathroom door shut after silently and very thoughtfully walking down the hallway. After that second 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*

Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Hannah's arrival @ 9am.
