Wednesday Post 317

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Tuesday actually stands @ 2801 today I've been hard @ work plodding 3375 steps and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Be Careful Who You Listen To' but thirdly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTY-TWO MINUTES online after choir practice tonight!! Anyways, let's start off with last night's events first!

• After having dinner and using the loo for one more tinkle, I sat on my bed inside my bedroom waiting for dad to drive me to church to small group. When he still hadn't finished his dinner by 7:30pm, I'm like "Uh dad, I'm supposed to be AT church by now; could you please drive me to church yet??" XD
• For my first game of Bejeweled ending @ 5:29pm, I lasted 6:04. Now, lemme play one more game lasting in between five and six minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Oh, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's from last night's 'Golden Scars' and Joni's devotional topic from last night's "I'm After God's Heart".
• Seven people attended small group last night; we did a Bible study from Acts 18.
• Unfortunately, nobody felt like supper @ Maccas last night. Doug tootled me home and I hit the sack, zzz~
• Today: I used the pot :P once last night around 2:45am and once more when PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around @ 7:20am. I use the pot :P once then; while I'm still over it, PIG mum comes to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with not only the bra strap but the tee because dearest dad's @ home still 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 comes back to help with 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 (poor Ela). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• For breakfast, PIG mum butters and jams two slices of toast for me, one slice with butter and the other slice with Anna's homemade strawberry jam! I also drink one full glass of water, pop all my usual drugs, drink another mug of Milo and 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*
• Now @ 7:11pm I've played one more game of Bejeweled lasting 5:58. That's today's quotas satisfied, and now I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD Actually, I further promise not to play again until toms, coz I've actually also played two more memorable games, one lasting 7:09 and the other 7:16! Only I've only got like twelve minutes left, so super-briefly:
• Did a stinky unspeakable and Hannah tootled me off to the NAB.
• Physio today: twenty-six sit-to-stands, weightshifting, sitting with reduced thigh support and five rounds of blaze pods standing. Toda I had a Hongkie student called Frankie who's a GEM coz he studied nutrition first!
• Hannah tootled me home, I turned the alarm off and then took a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Hannah who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, lunch was a Junior Whopper meal that the parents bought me back from Hungry Jack's!
• Saw Raw for some massage and acupuncture.
• Finished GCCW homework, munched a banana and drank a mug of peppermint tea for arvo tea before reading my daily Bible passages and then popping online for myself before joining choir rehearsal @ 5:30.
• Toms: Tina's helping me up @ 8am and taking me to Stan's place for our monthly get-together!
• Looking forward to meeting up with Pastors Chris and Grace @ Woka Warrigal for lunch around 1pm~
• Best of all, it's ice cream night toms night! Like I always say, a very little's better than none @ all!
• Righteo, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 316b

 Heylo again and probably one final greeting for Tuesday! Em's probable final, final plodding total for today now stands @ 2158. Righteo, probable final, final events for Tuesday?

• After washing and drying Era, I climb into Titi's car and she tootles me off to Underwood Marketplace for my forty minute plod. Sweet, she starts her mobile timer the moment I exit the car; I thought she'd not turn the timer on until I got inside!
• Since I plod so slowly these days, and since Underwood Marketplace's really long, I only managed four laps before the timer went off! 
• Before returning home, I bought one sushi roll for arvo tea; we also ducked into Kmart and I chose a special 80th birthday card for Anna~
• We arrived home shortly after PIG mum! Dearest dad was home also~
• So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Titi who kindly rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye shut.
• I had one tinkle before Titi flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Titi rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she went to find a pair of jeans for me (coz silly PIG mum had put out pyjama pants for me; she also forgot my bra!) and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
• Lunch was one untoasted tuna in brine with one slice of cheese sandwich; thanks also to Titi for one big mug of white tea with one spoonful of honey.
• Before she left I turned the computer on; @ 1:55pm I used the loo once more for two tinkles and then signed her off.
• After ringing dad and letting him know Titi had left, I read my daily Bible passages and enjoyed my most important two hours of the day online.
• When the parents got home I was summoned for arvo tea. Lol, I thought the sushi roll I'd picked while walking with Titi was my arvo tea but dad demanded half! Fine; I demanded half of his charsiu bun in return.
• The parents have gone walkies now. After I publish this post I'm planning to continue my GCCW homework, use the loo once more @ 5:50pm and hopefully watch Nine's 6pm news bulletin - the 119.5TH time I've watched it! XD
• Once that ends I'll wolf down dinner, use the loo for one tinkle and get dearest dad to drop me off @ church for small group Bible study. We're studying Acts 18.
• Fingers crossed we can grab supper @ Maccas afterwards! 
• Toms: super-early start for me; it's my big two hour physio session @ the NAB with Tylor! I'm sorely tempted to dob on PIG mum and tell Mr. J-g-Air how mean she was coz she wouldn't lemme use Sparkless3 even once, huh.
• Hannah will see me home and showered before leaving @ like 2pm, after we've had lunch together.
• I've just messaged Cath and asked: I can't seem to find our rehearsal scheduled for toms arvo?
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Tuesday Post 316

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2009 steps (ha, I'm just over two grand XD) and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Love What You Do'. Anyways, events for today?

• Huh, rotten PIG mum spoiled my awesome sleep streak coz she chucked a spiteful cow @ me last night; that denied me an awesome night's sleep and nature called around 2:45am~
• I woke again for the pot :P around 7:50am, before spending the ten minutes till 8am 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*
• At 2:27pm I've played one game of Bejeweled lasting 5:04. Now, lemme play one more lasting in between six and seven minutes, and I'll promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD
• Nature called again around one hour later, roughly the same time PIG mum starts a-THUMPING around upstairs. I use the pot :P once more, she comes to hit me with the eye gel and says Davina found someone to take me out this morning.
• When this new carer arrives, PIG mum lets her in, exchanged some pleasantries with her, knocks, opens my bedroom door, sticks her head in and says, "Em? Fifteen more minutes." Since she didn't even bother bidding me good morning, Era just imperiously waved her away; shoo! XD
• Fifteen minutes later; the new carer (who has more manners than PIG mum), knocks and enters. I sit up, say hello and tell her how to help get me kitted for the day. She's agency from Staffing Options, from somewhere like Nigeria and is only two months younger than me(born May 1987)!
• After I'm kitted, I head over to the sink and brush teeth. Thanks to Titi (or Fifi/some other name with a double sound XD) who squirts me some toothpaste; considering lucky Ela didn't haveta hold the toothbrush last night either (PIG mum couldn't be bothered seeing me safely to bed last night; on the plus side Ela got a break from having to hold things and open things) technically that's one whole day when Ela got a break, score! Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo and do a stinky unspeakable (I'd felt like doing one last night but decided sleep was more important XD), also leaning fully against the side rail and 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*
• Teeth brushed, I walk out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. Argh, PIG mum's still around; she imperiously orders me to go get myself a spoon while Titi's still here just coz she wants to show off how much power she's got over me. >< *sigh* Breakfast is three dry (no honey) Weet-Bix with all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water; over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes 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!
• Now @ 3:50pm I've finished one more game of Bejeweled lasting 6:44. That's today's quotas satisfied and now I promise to willingly hit the sack tonight. XD Actually, I further promise not to play again until toms because I've actually played two more memorable games lasting seven minutes and other two lasting more than eight!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 316f

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1936. Hey, that isn't bad: I've not left the house today but have nearly reached 2000 steps! XD Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• At 9pm, I walked myself slowly and safely once more to the loo for one tinkle and back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• Toms: hopefully PIG mum'll help me up...
• Also hope Davina finds someone to take me hiking around the shopping centre and back home for a shower!
• Will read my daily Bible verses and spend my most important two hours online toms arvo.
• Hopefully I can watch the entire Nine's news 6pm bulletin and wolf down dinner before dad takes me to church for small group Bible study! 
• Also fingers crossed PIG mum'll leave me five bucks to have supper @ Maccas afterwards ... and that I can persuade others to go have supper! XD
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Monday Post 316e

 Good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding for Monday now stands @ 1848; secondly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Stronger Than Hate' and thirdly, Joni's devotional topic's "God's Narrow And Wide-Angle Lenses'. Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• When I was summoned for dinner, 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. 
• Argh, the spoon I got myself for dinner before arvo tea had gone; thick Tina must've cleared it when I asked her to wash up my arvo tea stuff for me! PIG mum ordered I get myself a new one before dad would return my dinner to me; dad also chucked a cow @ me before leaving his dinner untouched and storming out to the garage.  That was enough incentive for PIG mum to chuck yet another spiteful cow @ me; like I keep telling her, after you've so gleefully gotten rid of me, please remember to be nice to my dad, okay? Before you turned him against me, he loved me and I still love him, no matter what! >< *sigh*
• Dinner tonight: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, lotsa soup potato, lotsa sweet soup carrot and like a few thin strips of BBQ chook.
• Dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup (accompanied with more bitching from PIG mum; I'm definitely singing myself to sleep tonight, SCREW counting ><) before I took my bowl over to the sink and 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. 
• Anyways, hopefully bbl shortly after 9pm following one last loo trip with my final, final plodding total for tonight, the final, final events for Monday plus what's happening toms else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
  P.S. Tee hee, tonight I've already managed FIVE posts! XD

Monday Post 316d

 Good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for Monday again! For the second time, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 1541. That's not bad, for someone who's not left the house today! XD Righteo, potential final, final events for Monday again?

• For her first shift back with me, Tina arrived seven minutes late, explaining bad traffic. Well, that can't be helped; also thanks to PIG mum who let Tina in, thus saving me from a potentially dangerous trip to the front door.
• Annoyingly, I had to let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to plod twenty minutes for her on the stupid treadmill, under Tina's supervision. On the bright side, Tina acknowledged that I had worked hard and lifted the toilet lid for me, meaning I only had to lift one for spiteful PIG mum today.
• So a nice warm shower for me - 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, since Tina stayed and kindly held the showerhead over my back while I washed myself, I was actually done after only singing 9%, but happily leaned fully against the side rail and watered myself for another tinkle before calling Tina back.
• After flipping the nice warm water off, I got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Tina rekitted me, I had another tinkle when she was doing Erf's laces and one last when I was drying inside both ears and she was washing my glasses for me.
• Back outside, arvo tea was the plate of yummy banana and strawberries PIG mum had sliced for me. Lol she didn't show Tina which teabag to gimme; Tina gave me a small cup of black tea! In that case, I skooted my armchair to get the milk, told Tina to pour half down the drain, sked for a spoonful of honey. She gave me a teaspoon even though I asked for a tablespoon but hey. Beats green/peppermint/Chinese tea any day! XD
• Happiness was reading Water For Elephants for one hour, after which I returned online and used the loo once more for two tinkles before signing Tina off with my thanks and byes. She's back Thursday and taking me shopping!
• The parents have just returned home. PIG mum's headed upstairs immediately for her arvo nap (which will doubtless stretch into evening) while dearest dad has gone back out to buy milk. Me, suppose I'll continue composing my latest GCCW homework for this Thursday and then hopefully watch Nine's 6pm news!
• Hopefully bbl!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^ 
  P.S. All the interesting surnames I saw while watching Nine's 6pm news: Palaszczuk, Frecklington, Calcutt, Cavallaro, Macrokanis, Keedle, Guerra, Irgat, Uhlmann, Frydenberg, Tunstall, Hazzard, Post, Trump, Paty, Kramer, Gatenby, Hurwitz, Raskall, Dillon, Forrest, Funicane, Munster, Haas, Voss (heard), Van Gisbergen, Heinke and Akermanis (heard). 70.81USc = 1AUD.

Gravatt toms: 15-27. 5:07am sunrise 5:59pm sunrise Woo hoo, that's the 118.5TH time I've watched the entire 6pm news bulletin! :D

Monday Post 316c

 Good afternoon and potentially one final greeting for Monday! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 614; however, horrid PIG mum demands I plod the treadmill with Tina since I refuse to go out grocery shopping with her since I don't wanna haveta turn the alarm off. Huh, she's being her usual mean self. >< *sigh* Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Now @ 1:05pm I've played one more game of Bejeweled lasting 7:31. Right, promise I'll not play again until toms. XD But just super-briefly, because I've used up all my time playing:
• Brushed teeth, ate breakfast and did a stinky unspeakable.
• Read daily Bible passages and then tootled online for myself until lunch, which was fruit, two mini cut-up slices of pizza and one chunk of crumbed chicken, which was washed down with one mug of peppermint tea.
• Tina's minding me from 2pm till 5pm; will haveta plod treadmill with her since I don't wanna turn off the alarm and have refused to go out. *sigh*
• Toms: Think Hannah's taking me to the NAB for physio with Tyler ... can't remember what time; 11am?
• She'll see me showered before leaving and then I'm either seeing Aunty Ann for a comfy massage/Ray for some massage and acupuncture. Either way, PIG mum will relish in her opportunity to yap. XD
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
