Tuesday Post 449c

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 1455 (so will hopefully have passed 1500 before the night's out) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's "God's Glory In Our Trial". Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When PIG mum hadn't arrived home by 8pm, dad summoned me over for dinner. After using the loo for one tinkle, I 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 bok choy, three small chunks of pork and two small slices of scrambled egg.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking my bowl to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely back online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over. 
• Anyways, hopefully bbl after one last loo trip 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. ^^

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Tuesday now stands @ 1257. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Precisely two hours after I began my most important two hours online, I got offline and headed over to the gobbling :P table, asking PIG mum could she please feed me some arvo tea? I'm gonna read Cobalt Blue for one hour. Since I didn't receive any response, I presumed she was having her long arvo nap and would eventually resurface so just happily started reading and propped both legs up onto the footstool, finishing page fifty @ 4:55pm and finishing pg. 100 @ 5:33pm but totally forgetting about page seventy-five. XD
• One more tinkle for me before I returned online and watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the first time this year. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Waiting for PIG mum to get home so we can have dinner.
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner tonight, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 449

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1044 steps (ha, I'm just over one grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'What Jesus Did To Dath'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "This Year, Think 'Possible' (1)" and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Rescue Mission'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:20am, 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* Mostly I was just relieved that the lbl from the night before was just a one-off thing; I was really relieved that I woke completely dry this morning! 
• Usually nature calls hourly after that initial morning pot :P trip, but happiness was snoring soundly with Pearl and the Pikachu bolster until dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage before waking again to relieve myself.
• After dearest dad kissed me bye, retucked me back into bed and left for his hard day's work, we all happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more and relieving myself 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 I made sure to tell her that she was right; the lbl from the night before really only came since I was too tired from staying up to await the new year two nights ago!) before going out to await Hannah's arrival @ 9am.
• When Hannah announces her arrival @ 9am, PIG mum lets her in. She knocks, says "Good morning Em; fifteen more minutes ..." and wisely leaves when I wave one of the Pikachu bolster's hand @ her, even though like Pearl, he's anatomically incorrect to give the Bear Bum (he's too long XD)
• After Hannah comes back, I use the pot :P 0nce more for three tinkles and we get me kitted while we share with each other what Christmas presents we got.
• While I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth; Hannah empties the commode for me, before going to prepare breakfast for me. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and 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 yummy 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 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!
• Tank boarded, Hannah tootles us off to Calamvale Central for grocery shopping, walkies and bahn mi buying. She refuses to get a trolley for us, but hey.
• Our first stop's Woolies to get a 2L jug of milk.
• The other stop before sitting down outside Woolies to play with our mobiles is the Mega Discount Fruit Market for like pears and bananas.
• When PIG mum Whatsapps me saying she's home, I get my crackling pork bahn mi from Uncle Michael while Hannah gets herself three sushi rolls (tempura veggie, calamari and kaarage chicken). Uncle Michael hit the sack before 2023 arrived but told me that in Vietnam, firecrackers are let off to celebrate the new year! He didn't know the English word 'firecracker' but just made the sounds and I guessed it. XD
• Back home, I took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 4%, but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before turning the nice warm water off and calling Hannah back.
• 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 Hannah was helping with Erf's sock and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
• Back outside, lunch was my yummy crackling pork salad roll plus one delicious mug of Chinese tea. At 2pm, I signed Hannah off with my thanks and byes; it's her BIRTHDAY toms! Forgot to buy her a birthday card so just grabbed a piece of lined paper and scrawled her Happy Birthday; will text her happy birthday toms! Think she's turning twenty-eight.
• Lunch finished, I walked myself once slowly and safely to the loo for one tinkle before plopping online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin for the first time this year!
• Toms: just a late morning appointment to see Ray for some acupuncture and massage. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him; me, I just hope he remembers my ice cream coz last week he made me BLEED! >< XD
• PIG mum had better take me grocery shopping nd aisle walking afterwards like she's promised to, else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me. 
• Then it's Annette coming to mind me from 4-6pm; Pearl can't WAIT to tell him how Peggy gave him a new pearl for Christmas! XD
• Fingers crossed I can watch the 6pm bulletin for the 2nd time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 449b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4072 (ha, I'm just over four grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Abiding Day By Day'. Righteo, just briefly, final, final events for tonight?

• Only the second day of 2023 but PIG mum already had me lifting a toilet seat for her. *sigh*
• But dad tootled us out to somewhere like Cleveland/Raby Bay!
•  Came home for dinner @ The Vietnamese Hut
• Showered when I got home - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also sang 15% of my shorter  second-favourite song softly, slowly but most hatefully out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, I dried the loo seat (trust PIG mum to bitch @ me about even that; apparently I wasn't facing the loo 'correctly? *sigh*), sat for one tinkle, washed and dried Era and returned online.
• Toms: seeing Hannah for the first time this year and officially beginning my second week of annual leave! Presuming we'll go for walkies and grocery shopping @ Calamvale Central? Fingers crossed PIG mumb will lemme buy a crackling pork salad roll for lunch!
• Hannah will see me home and showered before leaving @ 2pm; don't have any appointments after that so looking forward to my most important two hours of the day online, fingers crossed for one hour of reading and looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin for the first time this year! Should be able to, since PIG mum's gone playing baddy with her mates~
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 449

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've only been hard @ work plodding 487 steps (because obviously, I've not left the house yet); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Grace For The New Year'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Enjoy Each Day Of This New Year' and thirdly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Small Start'. Anyways, events for today?

• Aiya, not only did nature call @ 1:30am and demand I relieve myself, I even had some lbl! >< Tried calling for PIG mum but unsurprisingly didn't get any response; put my Pikachu bolster down the end of the bed since I didn't wanna get him dirty. Pear's only small (although I've seen some HUGE ones available!) hence why I allowed him to stay over my right shoulder.
• When PIG mum hadn't helped me up by 9:45pm, I was like, score! Gonna stay in bed ALL DAY before getting up @ 5:50pm to watch the news! Unfortunately, dad came into my room shortly after 1pm and ordered me up. XD
• By the time I've used the pot : for one more tinkle, gotten myself mostly independently kitted and had PIG mum help only with Elf's AFO straps and both laces, 'twas already 1:50pm. XD I brushed teeth, sat over the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era and then walked 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.
• Sneaky PIG mum's tactic to deny me food: I missed breakfast today! Had lunch straightaway, a bowl of rice leftovers. But the two small dumplings were delicious! 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 walked myself slowly and safely 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 walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Dad's come back from sth (swimming?) and PIG mum's going upstairs to change; presumably we're heading out soon.  Dunno where but I hope it involves arvo tea; since horrid PIG mum gave me brunch instead of breakfast and lunch I'm already hungry! XD
• Think I'm beginning my 2nd week of annual leave today? Will check, should PIG mum try to force me to resume blasted physio for her too early!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 449c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Have already logged in Sunday's plodding total @ 2064 so just final, final events for tonight?

• 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: it's the makeup public holiday, hoorah! Hopefully dad will take PIG mum and I out somewhere but if not, I'm perfectly content to sleep with Pearl until 5:50pm before getting outta bed and watching the 6pm news bulletin. XD
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week ahead; enjoy the first week of 2023!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 449b

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, I've already logged in today's plodding total @ 2064 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Journey Ahead'. Righteo, continuing Sunday's events?

• After writing the sermon summary for Aggie, I headed over to the gobbling :P table and started reading Matthew Reilly's Colbalt Blue; it only came out last year!
• PIG mum eventually came downstairs from her long arvo nap and tossed me a yummy banana for arvo tea.
• After reading for one hour, I went and took a nice warm shower - I washed and rinsed my own hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 20% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud. Actually, I'd finished after only 8% but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered 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 my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.
• I dried the loo seat, sat for one tinkle, 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. There
• Aww I missed the first news for 2023 by ten minutes. Maybe toms!
• When the parents called dinner, I used the loo for one more tinkle and then climbed into the backseat of dad's 4WD.
• For our first family dinner for 2022 we went to Malay House and after leaving, hiked once around the Yuen's fruit market but left without buying anything.
• 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. 
• Righteo, hopefully brb after one last loo trip @ 9pm with my final, final plodding total for today, the final, final events for tonight, the final, final spam count for the weekend plus what's happening Monday else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
