Saturday Post 481c

 Good evening again and one final greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Saturday now stands @ 4197. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• After publishing the previous post, I kept playing Royal Match! It's the newest match three game I started yesterday/the day before and I've already passed level fifty!
• 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: just church, definitely nothing special. Actually, the special thing's I'm FINALLY joining ESS for lunch: we're eating somewhere for my and Yu Lam's birthday! She's such a sweetheart, saying I can just be two days older than her and not TEN YEARS and two days. XD
• Hopefully dad'll still take us out for our once-weekly family dinner out together and technically, that'll be the first time this year I've enjoyed both lunch and dinner out coz I don't count the usual Sunday lunches dad makes me have with him @ Hungry Jack's after service!
• Anywaya, looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Saturday Post 481

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3904 steps today (so presuming I'll have cracked four grand before Saturday's out); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's "God's Best Promise'; thirdly, TWFT topic's Signs Follow Faith' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "The Bible's Cherished Words". Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 19TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! like yesterday, nature didn't call until 7:30am,  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*
• Nature calls again around 9:00am, shortly before PIG mum begins her noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and waiting Olivia's arrival @ 9:30am.
• After PIG mum lets Olivia in, she knocks, opens the door and calls good morning. When Pearl nods @ her she asks fifteen more minutes? Pearl nods again and she wisely removes herself; phew, since Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Olivia returns, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, wew get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I head out to the gobbling :P table with Olivia.
• Breakfast is my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dried (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and for some reason, the PLATE very lightly sprinkled with salt. I enjoy my first mug of white tea with two sugars, and 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*
• Breakfast finished, Olivia walks with me back to the bathroom and then returns to washup my breakfast stuff. 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 passenger seat of Olivia's car and she tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown; I've forgotten the last time I had a shopping trip! :D
• Olivia parks on level two and grabs a trolley for us. After buying groceries from Coles; I've got forty minutes to read in the library, score! While walking into the library I spot a book with a three-day loan sticker that looks interesting and take it for reading in one of those squashy magenta armchairs. The book's called North Woods by Daniel Mason. 'Twas like historical fiction with some bad English grammar and today I reached pg. twenty-five @ 11:58am.
• Back home, I took my quickest possible shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Olivia who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, PIG mum pours me my second big mug of white tea and fed me my afternoon tea sushi roll, even though I've not even had lunch yet! Olivia was rostered to stay till 2pm but with everything done by 1:30pm, asked to leave thirty minutes early, since she's got another shift after me.
• At 1:25pm I sat once more over the loo for two tinkles, since Annie was coming @ 1:30pm for my post-birthday celebration!
• Once she arrived, I climbed into her car and she tootled us off to Papa Chicken!
• We shared half a honey soy chicken and a fried chicken burger with chips; I drank a 260mL orange juice poppa.
• Over lunch, we just chatted. Annie told me all about her new job being a phlebotomist! 
• After lunch, we headed across to Excellent Cup and shared a bucket of shaved ice! I chose the one with pudding and pearls but told Annie once Winter arrives, could she take me somewhere for tong yuen instead? Only Annie thinks you can only get them frozen @ Asian grocery stores; aren't there any Winter dessert shops??
• Annie had to get me home before 4pm since she's got a house inspection happening! Her current partner's a tradie and Chi Chi the cat's living with her mum right now.
• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle then walked myself slowly and safely online, 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 (Nine's) for the 46TH time.
• Toms: just church, nothing special. Actually, the special thing's I'm joining other ESS people for lunch afterwards to celebrate my birthday (Thursday) and Yu Lam's birthday (today)(!
• Will hopefully have our once-weekly family dinner out together; think that's officially the first time I've been lucky enough to have both lunch and dinner out properly?
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else looking forward to seeing everyone @ church toms!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^

Friday Post 481b

 Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5069 (ha, for the second consecutive day I'm just over half a normal person! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'The Service You Perform'. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?

• - Hmm, my bullet points have still gone AWOL?
• - After Peggy left, a new OT came since Dorrie's off finally becoming an Australian citizen! Sin (terrible name, poor girl XD) is from Singapore and only twenty-seven! Today was kinda like a meet and greet, Ela showed her what she could do, etc.
• - After Sin left, PIG mum gave me some fruit, half a plain cracker and one huge mug of green tea for arvo tea. I happily read for one hour, used the loo for one tinkle and then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over. 
• - Thanks to PIG mum who remembered to gimme dinner @ 6pm while I happily watched the 6pm news (Nine's; all the things I like recording are in the first post for today) for the 45TH time since right after it ended the Broncos kicked off against the Cowboys!~
• - And we WON!  Looking forward to reading match report after match report and basking in their glory. XD
• - Once Friday Night Knockoff ended, I used the loo for one more tinkle then 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: excitement! Meeting Annie for a post-birthday lunch @ 1:30pm; she'll come pick me up!
• - And apparently Olivia's minding me 4-6pm even though it's not on the roster and PIG mum won't lemme text  her?
• So may not get to read for one hour/more but looking forward to watching the 6pm news for the 46TH time!
• Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 481

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4458 steps (sweet I'm over four grand already; that doesn't happen too often! XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's 'Jesus Died For This Moment'; thirdly, TWFT topic's last night's 'How To   Build Your Self-Esteem' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's "God's Own" but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-FIVE MINUTES online after I watch the Broncos play tonight!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 18TH consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:30am 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*
• Um, why have my bullet points become invisible? o_O XD
• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, noisy PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs my wakeup call to use the pot :P again. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with   the eye goo before returning outside and waiting for Peggy's arrival.
• Once PIG mum lets Peggy inside @ 9:30am, Peggy knocks, pushes the door open and announces, "Good morning."  When I wave Pearl @ her, she next states "Fifteen more minutes. Luckily, she wisely removes herself after another nod from Pearl; phew, since Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum! XD
• When Peggy returns, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and then we get me kitted, before I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Peggy who's squirted me some toothpaste.
• Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Peggy, who told me that she had her two usual fried eggs for breakfast.
• For my breakfast, I had two dry (no honey) Weet-Bix very lightly sprinkled with some Minus :P with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast amazingly THICKLY spread with avocado and sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water.  When I asked PIG mum please for another slice of birthday cake she replied it's already all gone! Then she/dad must've stolen some: I only had three small slices and she cut one slice for one carer once! >< *sigh* 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, Peggy accompanies me back to the bathroom before returning to wash up dishes, close and lock windows, etc. 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 Auto (pronounced Alto) and Peggy tootles me off to Breathe for physio. Thanks to her who helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
• Physio today: 1.875km bike ride, 36 leg-assisted pull-ups, 36 steps for Erf, 36 v-cable rows for both hands, tennis ball catching and throwing for Era and boxing!
• After one loo trip (CZ258 unlocks the female toilets and the second cubicle has rails), Peggy tootles me back to  Warrigal Square and grabs a trolley for us. Unfortunately, all the parking spots were taken, and she didn't find a free one until the *end*! >< *sigh*
• Not only that, but they also didn't have any BBQ chooks available! A note said there was a problem with supply; instead, they had like boxes of sweet and sour drumsticks!
• Back home, I showered my quickest - hairwash today. Also thanks to Peggy who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, for lunch Peggy made me a salmon with tomato and onion toastie with TWO cheese, HEAVILY buttered on the inside and one huge mug of delicious vanilla chai sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, yum! The poor salmon was so terrified of being eaten it tried leaping from the sandwich, but since I remembered to lean forward while eating, all the salmon pieces only fell onto the plate and I Peggy to please gimme a spoon and scooped up all the runaway fish. XD
• At 2pm, I signed Peggy off with my thanks and byes. She's not back next Friday even though the roster says it's her; will email Michelle and find out who's coming.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding   total for Thursday now stands @ 5057 (sweet, I'm just over half a normal person   for my birthday! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Follow Jesus' but I'm most prolly gonna be owed some time online since I very much doubt PIG mum'll  lemme stay online until 10:30pm even though today's my BIRTHDAY! Ugh, what a sh*tty way to end my special say ... >< Anyways, just briefly, final, final events for tonight?

• Tonight's ice cream night, yay! Like I  always say, a very little's better than none @ all!

Thursday Post 481b

 Heylo again, good afternoon and please excuse the first post; you know I still get too excited whenever I   get to post online before midday.   Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3931 steps (so I'll surely have cracked four grand before Thursday's out!); secondly, John piper's daily    devotional topic from last night's 'A Six-Point Summary Of The Gospel'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Parenting - The Bible Way' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Joy In Jesus' but fifthly  and way most importantly, I'm really still owed FORTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after Olivia minds me for two hours!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, what better way to begin my BIRTHDAY than   with my 17TH consecutive awesome sleep?? Nature didn't call until 6:30am (but cripes; it's not even Winter yet but I could only just barely see the clock! o_O) 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*
• Pearl   and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P am just   before noisy 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 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./
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
