Monday Post 497d

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3615. Ha, I'm over 3.5 grand. XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I happily played Jewels for thirty minutes~
• At 8:30pm, PIG mum came over and I had to let her gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises. Tonight, that took twenty-three minutes.
• Usually I visit the loo once more @ 9pm but since nature was calling after I'd finished the exercises for PIG mum, once that was over, 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: Mel's not minding me from 9:30am till 4pm. Haven't seen her for ages! She's the one studying that scary criminal justice law degree ...
• Mel and I'll buy groceries from Pinelands Coles and then I'll get my once-weekly crackling pork bahn mi from the Pinelands Bakehouse before coming home for lunch.
• Then, @ 12:15pm, Mel's driving me to the NAB for physio with Ryan. We can commiserate with each other how the poor Maroons lost Origin One. >< XD
• Mel will see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm and then I've got a free rest of the day. Looking forward to reading the Great Zoo Of China for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 66TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3419 (so trusting I'll have reached 3.5 grand before the night's out XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Sitting ... Carrying'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Once the news ended, I called out to dad and reminded him please to summon me for dinner once it was ready. When PIG mum comes downstairs two minutes later (napping, I presume) dad calls me over immediately @ 7:02pm.
• I use the loo for one tinkle then walk 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 choko and leftovers from dinner last night. Unsure why we can't just eat one proper meal out in peace without having to take home some for the next day's meal?
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup; after taking the bowl over to the sink I walked myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Will haveta let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela on one set of those FitMi exercises @ 8:30pm. *sigh*
• So hopefully bbl after one last 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 Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 3139. Ha, I'm over three grand. XD Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• When Angelica announced her arrival @ precisely 3:30pm, PIG mum and I both went to answer the door.
• So a nice hot shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Angelica who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. Also, I used the banana bodywash she brought for me from like Lush! 
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, arvo tea was one gloopy mouthful of passionfruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea. Happiness was reading for one hour (today I reached page seventy-five @ 4:29pm and reached pg. 100 @ 4:53) before having nearly twenty-five minutes to play Jewels while Angelica very gently massaged Ela before writing the shift notes.
•  At 5:25pm I used the loo for two more tinkles before signing Angelica off with my thanks and byes. Originally, she was coming back toms and I had fingers crossed for Vietnamese iced coffee and/or bubble tea but suddenly CODA have given that shift to Mel instead and I doubt Mel will shout drinks since she's a poor uni student! XD Dunno when I'm seeing her next, so we've said Merry Christmas just in case. XD
• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner, else wishing everyone a smashing Tuesday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 497

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2896 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'The Faith That Magnifies Grace'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be Real' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Winning By Losing'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, for the first time in three days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:50am 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 waking once more for the pot :P around 9am, shortly before 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 and help me exceedingly slightly with the bra strap, tee and jumper, before leaving me to getn myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first. That done, I call PIG mum back to please finish with Elf's AFO straps so I can go both teeth but she takes her time, and I don't exit the room till 10am! Great, will probably have wasted the day since I'll be back in bed before twelve hours have passed. >< *sigh*

• After I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over to the bathroom and brush 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.

• Breakfast was another slice of the seedy healthy banana bread that I helped PIG mum make over the weekend with one bowl of plain porridge with 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 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 PIG mum's car and buckle my own seatbelt (what I do all day). PIG mum tootles me off to see Ray for some massage and acupuncture but we've gotta listen to her play list all day and she won't lemme listen to the radio since she's expecting a call from UQ?

• At Ray's, I use the loo for one tinkle and then lie down for some massage and acupuncture. PIG mum's totally in her element yapping unceasingly @ Ray and repeating several syllables multiple times since she's too excited @ getting the yapping opportunity but thanks to Ray who always replies and keeps a conversation flowing. For me, as usual my favourite's the shoulder CPR~

• After one more toilet trip, PIG mum tootles us back to Warrigal Square to buy groceries from Woolies. As we're leaving, we see Uncle Cecil sitting outside eating @ Sai with his dog! Toby's three and a really big poodle!

• Back home, Bettina's just arrived too. Dad feeds me two tiny little slices of pizza for lunch plus a very small piece of the Savoury cupcakes I baked with Dorrie and PIG mum pours me one huge mug of green tea.

• After taking the cup over to the sink, I use the toilet for one tinkle and then 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.

• Angelica's minding me from 3:30pm till 5:30pm today. Looking forward to reading The Great Zoo Of China for one hour!

• Also looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 65TH time!

• Toms: Mel's minding me from 9:30am till 4pm! Haven't seen her for a while~ Presume we're buying groceries from Pinelands Coles plus my once-weekly crunchy pork bahn mi from Pinelands Bakehouse before coming home for lunch then leaving again @ 12:15pm since I've got NAB physio from 1-2. Mel will see me home and showered before leaving @ 4pm. I'm hoping to read The Great Wall Of China for another hour and watch the 6pm news for the 66TH time!

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

Sunday Post 497c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2963. Sorry, not quite three grand. Maybe toms. XD Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I started an email to Michelle, asking her to please fill-in TBAs for this week in my roster.
• 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 see Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Bet she's simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
• She says we can grocery shop and hike the aisles before coming home for lunch with dearest dad hence I'm confident I'll have passed one grand before the day's out toms.
• Roster's TBA for the 3:30pm till 5:30pm shift but I vaguely recall Angelica saying she's coming? Have e-mailed Michelle asking her to fill this week's TBAs for me.
• Looking forward to watching the 6pm news bulletin for the 65TH time!

Sunday Post 497c

 Good evening again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2889 and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Let Go And Let God?' Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• So a nice hot shower for me - I washed and rinsed my own hair. 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 10% but happily leaned fully against the right-side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling PIG mum back.
• Since PIG mum won't even help me dry my back anymore, once I tapped the nice hot water off and she handed me the towel, I did everything 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, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, 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.
• Did my once-weekly file backup and then happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 64TH time. All the things I like recording are in the previous post.
• Once the parents had both showered too and were ready for dinner, I used the loo for one tinkle and then climbed into the backseat of the car. Thanks this time to PIG mum who kindly helped me with my seatbelt both ways, since I've got seriously sh*tty night vision.
• Like previous Sundays, dinner was @! Ho Lin Wah. We shared the 'A' meal (stir-fry Hokkien noodles with chicken, one plate of beef and lettuce fried rice and one delicious shallot pancake. I got almost (but not quite) one bowl of fried rice, almost (but again, not quite) half a bowl of Hokkien noodles, one slice of shallot pancake and drank one cup of Chinese tea and half the hot HK-style milk tea. Haven't enjoyed a proper meal out for like 1.5 weeks but have two coming this month so am looking forward to that, yay!
• 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.

•  Anyways, hopefully brb after one last toilet 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 week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 497b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 2489. Lol, promise I'll have cracked 2.5 grand before the night ends! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for Sunday?

• Once I'd used up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat @ the gobbling :P table to start reading The Great Zoo Of China for one hour and wait for PIG mum to gimme some arvo tea. She eventually finished her nap on the couch and passed me one gloopy mouthful of passionfruit, one plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea before heading upstairs and continuing her arvo nap.
• While reading, I reached page twenty-five @ exactly 3:20pm, the book title appeared on pg. thirty-three and again on page forty-eight, I reached page fifty @ exactly 3:55pm and then the book title appears both on page fifty-three and fifty-four.
• Then I had thirty minutes to happily play Jewels before PIG mum  finally tumbled down from pigland and ordered me off to  go  shower.
• 
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
