Monday Post 481d

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3540 (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Restoring The Joy' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THREE MINUTES online after I visit the loo once more @ 9pm!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

• Woo hoo the bullet points have returned!
• After giving me some eye goo, PIG mum helps exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar 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 returns to finish with absolutely nothing bar Elf's AFO straps and both shoelaces, 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 bowl of Cheerios very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P and one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason the PLATE very lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely back to the bathroom, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!
• After washing and drying Era, I climb into the backseat of the car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum climbs into the passenger seat and then dad tootles us to some -Ray place along Logan Road that was formerly an IGA and other shops for my CT scan. 
• Dad left, saying call me for pickup, and I took a seat while PIG mum went to the front desk to report my attendance. She came back with a clipboard, and I filled out the form attached to it.
• Almost immediately I'm summoned! I follow some Asian young lady into an area and sit down on the big armchair that takes a step first to reach.
  
• After warning her I'm extremely hard to cannulate and offering her my three jabs/chocolate deal, she only tries one failed jab before fetching another person to try, an Aussie man this time.
• Phew, he succeeds first go!
• I head into the tube but for a CT scan, you're only inserted into your shoulders! I pass in and out three times and that's it!
• PIG mum rings dad for pickup; he comes quickly and drives us home.
• Oh, whoops, forgot! Saw Ray for acupuncture and massage first this morning! Why he's the best long-lost cousin ever: he gave me CAKE! :D
• The new carer arrived really early this arvo! Asha's only thirty and hails from Kenya~
• Took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Asha who helped me rinse out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was some fruit, one delicious mug of vanilla chai sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar and one sesame rice cake. Thanks to PIG mum who found my book club novel for me; I happily read that for one hour (reaching page fifty @ 4:53pm and finishing page seventy-five @ 5:27pm) before having thirty happy minutes to play Royal Match!
• At 5:55pm I use the loo once more for two tinkles before signing Asha off with my thanks and byes; she's back Friday 10am till 2pm, I think.
• Happily watched the 6pm news for the 48TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post. 
• I heard the parents start dinner without me around 6:52pm. Once the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely over to the gobbling :P table, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Entree was one yummy crunchy little square of garlic bread then dinner was rice with lotsa soup carrot, lotsa soup potato, lotsa soup tomato, lotsa soup onion, and one two/tiny slices of I've forgotten which meat.
• 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, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

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

Monday Post 481c

 Good afternoon! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 2043 (ha, I'm just over two grand XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after the carer leaves and I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 48TH time!! Righteo, continuing today's events?

- Still dot point-less. >< XD

- I'd not fully fallen back asleep yet when PIG mum suddenly starts a-THUMPING around upstairs; when she lets herself into my room I ask her has my clock run outta batteries, else why would you come hit me with the eye goo before 6am? PIG mum glances @ the clock and then laughs, "It's just after 9am now! I'll change your clock batteries for you later."
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Monday Post 481b

 Heylo again, good morning again and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I get the chance to post online before midday. XD Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding only 465 steps (since obviously, I've not left the house yet); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Ignorance Guarantees Ungodliness' thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Change Your Thoughts, And Change Your Life' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'A Modern-Day Paul' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still  owed ONE HOUR and FORTY MINUTES online after I get home this arvo!! Anyways, events for today?

• - Oh, my dot points have vanished again. XD
• Woo hoo, 28TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! That's an awesome sleep streak as long as February and the second time ever I've achieved an awesome sleep streak that long!! Nature didn't call until 5:45am (which I thought odd; since it's approaching Winter the Sun doesn't usually rise until well after 6am?) 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*
• Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 481b

 Heylo again, good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, I've already logged in Sunday's plodding total @ 3786 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'A Sneak Preview?' Righteo, probable final, final events for things?

- Once I'd used up the most important two hours of the day, I used the loo once then sat @ the gobbling :P table for arvo tea.

- PIG mum passed me one huge mug of green tea and sliced a pear for me; I also munched one plain cracker.

- Then I took my 2nd 'long' shower this year - 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, opening both eyes for all the important numbers. Actually, I was all done after only 11% but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before I tapped the nice warm water off and called PIG mum back.

- Since she'll not even help me dry my back anymore, after she passed me the towel I did everything myself until my bra strap needed doing up, Elf's AFO straps needed sticking and both laces needed tying.

- After I dried the toilet seat I sat for one tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era and then headed out to the sofa to happily watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the 47TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.

- When PIG mum had finished enjoying the massage chair, she called dinner time. I used the loo for one tinkle and then climbed into the backseat of dad's 4WD. Thanks to PIG mum who helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways, since I've got seriously crappy night vision.

- Like the past several Sundays, our once-weekly family dinner out together was @ Ho Lin Wah. 'Twas officially the first time I've been lucky enough to have both lunch and dinner together! :D

- Don't think either set meal suited me, but I had almost (but not quite) one bowl of soupy thin ho fan with 1.5 cuttlefish balls and almost (but again not quite) bowl of some kinda fried rice. I also drank half the set soup, one cup of Chinese tea and just over one mouthful of the hot HK-style milk tea.

- Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely online, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

 - Toms: seeing Ray @ like 10am for some massage and acupuncture. Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD

- But right afterwards I'm off to the P.A. for a CT scan, since while my latest MRI shows no tumour regrowth, I've somehow developed a CYST in that space where my brain should be! o_O I told the doctor I've zero idea about cysts; should I start worrying that I'll blow up/explode?? She roared with laughter saying don't worry they're usually filled with water but come for a CT scan. That's happening toms arvo before I'll come home for lunch.

- Tom's 4-6pm shift's still TBA; can't remember has Michelle filled it yet.

- But fingers crossed I'll get to watch the 6pm bulletin for the 47TH time!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

Sunday Post 481

 Good afternoon! Firstly, I'm gonna login today's plodding total @ 3786 (since idiot Wally suddenly RESET himself! ><); secondly, John piper's devotional topic from last night's "Satan's Candy Store"; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Worship - Giving Yourself To God' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Being Still Before God'. Anyways, events for today?

• Whoops I've muddled up my count of awesome sleeps; today's actually the 27TH consecutive awesome one! Nature didn't call until 6:05am and after one pot :P trip I immediately fell back asleep since I knew that PIG mum was gonna get VERY noisy exactly one hour later!
• Like clockwork, I'm woken for another pot :P trip exactly one hour later when PIG mum starts her daily noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs.  Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. Whilst doing so, 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 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 briefly over the loo, wash and dry Era then walk myself slowly and safely out to the dining table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Breakfast is one bowl of Cheerios very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P plus one little delicious slice of the yummy chocolate cake PIG mum baked for Aunty Jo last night! I also drank one full mug of water, popped all my usual drugs :P and 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.

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 own seatbelt (what I've done all day). PIG mum tootles us off to church. I hike up the ramp, use the first cubicle of the normal ladies loo (since the disabled loo has lid closed but horrid PIG mum won't lift it for me) , wash and dry both hands and then take my usual spot for service on the most left. PIG mum races up for CM with fifteen minutes to spare.
• Yay, I get to stay seated for worship again today~ I sing everything plus the harmony for four songs but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Our speaker was originally Rev. Aman Gupta but he's unwell and having tests done ATM! >< After praying for him, Pastor Peter just showed a video sermon~
• After service ended early and PIG mum fetched me, I used the loo once more myself, grabbed one pack of bikkies for morning tea then sat outside the service hall. Before PIG mum left  for her coffee and gossip social she took me once more to the loo.
• Yu Lam walked with me to the ramp; I leaned against the rail and we chatted while waiting for Peter Pie to bring the car around.
•  Today lunch was @ sth called like Wolfissimo, a HK-style cafe with Aussie options too! I was gonna get some kinda stack but a baked rice with a HK-style milk tea won out~
• Dr. Esther and David dropped me back home afterwards; I used the loo for one more tinkle and 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.
• Think PIG mum wants me to shower once I've used up the most important two hours of the day. Taking one of my longer showers today!
• If dad really does take us out for dinner together tonight; that's technically the first time this year I've had both lunch and dinner out @ any restaurant!
• Toms: presuming I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture? Bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD Me, I'm just hoping he'll bring me belated birthday cake! XD
• Originally we were gonna meet Mrs. Dent for my belated birthday lunch @ the Coffee Club but instead I've got a CT scan happening somewhere nearby like Pinelands Plaza! See, my latest MRI showed no tumour regrowth (phew) but instead I've grown like a CYST?! I asked the doctor was I like in danger of explosion and imminent death; she roared with laughter, immediately reassuring me no, they're usually filled with water but just get the scan to be sure.
• Have forgotten who's coming 4-6pm toms but Michelle has already emailed. 
• Will hopefully watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 47TH time.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^
