Monday Post 485c

 Good evening again! Em's new plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4635. Sweet I'm over 4.5 grand; that's even rarer than four grand! Anyways, continuing tonight's events?

• Took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lorraine who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. Turns out that today's her BIRTHDAY!!
• Dried, creamed and rekitted,  arvo tea was one juicy pear quartered, about half a plain cracker and one huge mug of peppermint tea. Tasted weird, since Lorraine added honey for me. XD
• While Lorraine massaged Ela very gently for like twenty minutes before playing with her mobile, I kept reading for just over one hour, reaching pg. 600 @ 5:06pm, the book title appeared on pg. 620, I finished pg. 625 @ 5:39 and then I FINISHED THE BOOK @ 5:53pm!! ith only two minutes till I'd use the loo once more, I ripped a page from a notebook sitting on the table and drew a quick happy birthday card for Lorraine with my  Yr. Ten cartoon character.
• Before Lorraine leaves, I sit over the loo once more for two tinkles. For some reason she's not back next Monday but will come the Monday after?
• Happily watched the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 70TH time. All the things I like recording are in today's first post.
• When PIG mum summoned me over for dinner @ 7:29pm, I used the loo for one tinkle and then walked 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 yummy cauliflower, lotsa dearest dadf's home-grown hairy melon, one little slice of tasteless soup beef, one little piece of yummy chicken and one small 1/4 chunk of crumbed with  a tiny dab of mayo, which I obviously saved for last. 
• 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,  again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Monday now stands @ 4464 (aww, I should've plodded twenty steps fewer; 4444 looks cooler! XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Lover Of My Soul'. Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• Back home, I used the loo for one tinkle, washed and dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely to the gobbling :P table, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
• Dad baked pizza for our lunch with added toppings (I got two small slices); I also had one piece of last night's dinner leftovers (the jian bing) and one little chunk of chocolate muffin.
• Lunch was washed down with one green tea; after taking the bowl over to the sink I 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.
• Wonder why Lorraine arrived eight minutes late today? When I heard her arrival, I immediately noted down the time and headed into the bathroom.

Monday Post 485

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 4256 steps (sweet I'm already over 4000 steps; that doesn't happen too often! XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Afraid To Stray; thirdly, TWFT topic's "God Knows What's 'Good' For Us" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Deep Clean' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-SIX MINUTES online after the carer leaves and I watch the 6pm news (Nine's) for the  70TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 4th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:20am 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*
• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P once more 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 exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap (I was disappointed: I thought two days ago she'd finally started to also help with the tee since the weather was getting cooler and she'd help for the next six months but suddenly she decided that today's warmer and wouldn't help! >< *sigh*) before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes first.
• PIG mum comes back 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 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 bowl of delicious flaky Special K cereal with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with avocado and hopefully very lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Oh, and one little Easter egg! Think for Easter this year I've got four little solid ones, six little hollow ones and one hollow chocolate Easter bunny! :D 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 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.
• After using the loo for one tinkle I lie down and get some massage and acupuncture from Ray. I remember to tell him about how I'd gotten a little left shoulder pain last night and Ray gave both shoulders some massage. PIG mum happily yapped her head off @ Ray; my grateful thanks to Ray who always responded and kept a conversation flowing. Actually, PIG mum controlled herself really well and only repeated one syllable thrice: her record's eight! XD
• After another tinkle, PIG mum tootled me off too Calamvale Central first to get a haircut from Go Cutt and second to buy groceries. Can't help but feel frustrated that shew wouldn't park underground directly beneath the lift up to Go Cutt but rather parked beside the escalator and gleefully FORCED :( me to walk the long way around, but hey. >< *sigh*
• Not that I'd recognise, but today's hairdresser has cut my hair before! I like coming here for haircuts since it's the only time I'm given the instruction to 'look down' since PIG mum's ordering that I 'head up'! The only disappointment was when the hairdresser told me, "Sorry, vacuum cleaner not working today." I could only laugh and say, "Oh well, next time!"
• Hair cut, I then hiked to the other end of Calamvale Central and bought groceries with PIG mum @ Woolies before finishing with buying fresh produce @ the Mega Discount Fruit Market.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

 Heylo again and good evening! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Sunday now stands @ 4139 9sweet I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen too often!) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Easter Sunday'. Righteo, continuing tonight's events?

• After I'd enjoyed my most important two hours of the day online, I used the loo for one tinkle and then sat @ the gobbling :P table to hopefully read for one hour and munch arvo tea: that delicious hot cross bun that Aunty Jacky made for me!
• Well, I didn't get the time to read for one hour before PIG mum ordered I go shower, but reached pg. 575 at 5:27~
• Took a nice hot shower - I washed and rinsed my hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 15% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• Since PIG mum'll not even dry my back for me anymore, once I tapped the nice hot water off and called her back, she passed me the towel and I did everything myself: she didn't feature again until the 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 once tinkle, dried inside both ears, stamped both feet dry, washed and dried Era 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. 

• All the interesting surnames I saw while watching the 6pm news (Nine’s, read by Paul Taylor) for the 69^TH time: Todhunter, Streater, Daniels, Albanese, Dutton (heard), Sukkar, Littleproud, Millward (heard), Croucher, Bavas, Cole, Putin, Volodymyr (first  name), Zelenskyy, May, Hall, Short, Dalton, Tafuna, Lose (first name),Rothwell, Sienna (first name), Gin,  Wan, Nasseri, Galvin (heard), Dunn,Hasler, Jakob (first name), Funk,Maguire, Maguire, Beames, Mamoa,Verstappen, Piastri, Norris (heard), Lando (first name, Shearman,heard),Hardwick,Marantek,Witkoff (heard),Tomasi, Jiselle (first name), Manning, Pearce, Trump and Youngberry. Bronte Gildea read the sports report and Garry Youngberry read the weather report from South Bank. Brisbane was 19-29 today. Brisbane toms: 19-29. Mt. Gravatt toms: 17-29. Sunrise 6:07am Sunset 5:26pm

• Once the news ended, I used the loo for one tinkle then climbed into the back of the car. Dearest dad tootled us off to our once-weekly family dinner out together.

• PIG mum said the person @ The Jian Bing Vlub was already wiping down tables and that they've prolly already closed but I said please try asking are they still open? She did and they were!

• We shared one yummy chicken fillet jian bing and one plate of rice. Obviously, I got piss little but honestly when have I EVER had a big feed with the parents around? *sigh* The best thing was that there wasn't any public holiday surcharge!

• 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 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 week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Sunday Post 485

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 3208 steps; secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'A Future For Failures'; thirdly, TWFT topic's "God Knows What's 'Good' Foor Us" and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'The Best Evidence'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 3rd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:05am and after one pot :P trip I immediately tried falling back asleep again; maybe I could reach a light sleep before PIG mum let herself into mt room!
• But 125 breaths into falling back asleep, PIG mum had already let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me exceedingly slightly with absolutely nothing bar the bra strap and tee before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over too the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, 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 was one bowl of yummy Special K with one delicious choc chip hot cross bun! I also pop all my usual dreugs :P and drink 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 us off to church and parks in our usual spot. I haul myself up the ramp, use the second cubicle of the normal ladies loo (since both the disabled and first cubicle of the normal ladies looi have closed lids but horrid PIG mum won't lift it for me), wash and dry both hands then grab my usual spot inside the service hall.
•  Yay, I  get to stay seated for service today. I sing everything, plus the harmony for three songs, but like every other week, meant absolutely NOTHING. >< *sigh*
• Speaker today was Peter Pie with a sermon about Abraham and Isaac.
• Afterwards, the about-to-be-baptised gave their testimonies, hence why service ended late today!
• I used the disabled loo for one tinkle and grabbed a pack of bikkies for morning tea. PIG mum actually fed me the bikkies while I braced against some pole before I hiked the rest of the way up to the service hall.
• Three/four girls got  baptised this morning; afterwards, we all went to the front for a group photo~
• I used the loo once more myself then Dr. Lee tootled us off to the same park where Peter Pie and Yu Lam got married, after stopping @ the Rochedale Maccas for takeaway.
• Lol, after we'd wheeled me in, I sat in Peter Pie's picnic chair and he took Sparkless3 and came back with Yu Lam; the poor girl somehow BROKE HER LEG playing badminton!! o_O
• I had a Big Mac, regular chips and a regular shake ALL TO MYSELF!! :D <3 
• Peter wheeled Yu Lam back to their car first and then came back for me. Dr. Lee dropped some boys off before dropping me home.
• I used the loo for one more tinkle, washed and dried Era 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. 

• Aggie's mum made me a hot cross bun for arvo tea!
• Toms: presume I've got a late morning appointment to see Ray from acupuncture and massage.
• Will hopefully go grocery shopping and aisle walking afterwards else expect a super-pissy plodding total from me.
• Hopefully Michelle will reply and tell me who's doing the 4-6pm  TBA shift but I'm looking forward to reading for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 68TH time!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing week ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em.  ^^
