• Once I'd used  up the most important two hours of my day, I used the loo for  one tinkle then sat @ the gobbling :P table to munch my arvo tea honey chicken sushi roll, drink the teabag Singular Bee Gee gave me that I left in Sally but Jane found it  and brought it back today (BTW, 'twas DISGUSTING! >< XD) and read for another minutes, since it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~ Today I finished pg. 100   @ 3:51pm, finished the sushi  roll  @ 3:59pm, reached pg. 111 @ 4:03pm, finished pg. 111 @  4:05pm (meaning this book takes me two minutes to  finish one page), finished the disgusting drink @ 4:07, reached pg. 125 @ 4:24pm and finished pg. 150 @ 4:55pm!
• One more tinkle for me before returning online; we just had a short video chat with dearest dad; he's still @ that nine bend eighteen curve thing!
•  Toms:  PIG mum says she's gonna help  me up @ 6am since Louiza's coming @ 7am! Phew Sunrise's @ 5:55am.   XD

Saturday Post 325

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 1944 steps (so trust I'll have reached two grand before the day's out XD); secondly, John Piper's devotional topic from last night's '7 Reasons Not  To Worry Part 1'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Pray Boldly (2)'  and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional  topic's 'Persevering Into Joy'. Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, 2nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7am 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* Not only that, for the first time in three months I woke remembering a DREAM: Bree was driving me to Underwood Lake! I've not seen her for years I don't think; presume she's graduated nursing and stopped doing  support work for a nursey job? She was only twenty-eight when I first met her and spoke cool phrases like "Sure thing, chicken wing"! XD
• Daddy Bear and I happily cuddle and snore; after nature calls again (shortly before 8am) and another pot :P  trip  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*
• PIG mum a-THUMPING around upstairs around 9am wakes me for one more pot :P trip; soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo  and give poor Elf's ankle a very brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright; Era rubbed her for fifteen minutes last night and let Elf  wear her sock to sleep last night but obviously tugged the sock off first thing this morning! XD
• After PIG mum lets Jane inside, Jane knocks, pushes open the door and says "Good morning Em; I'll come back in fifteen more minutes and help you up, okay?" Daddy Bear gives a single paw nod and just like that she's gone; he doesn't even get the chance to imperiously wag his paw 'shoo' @ her!
• 900 seconds later I swing myself over to  the pot :P  for one more  tinkle and announce "Jane I'm hungry." She's inside the bathroom and comes immediately. We get me kitted, I head over to  the bathroom and brush teeth then drink one tall cup of water before sitting over the loo proper. 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 head out to the gobbling :P table with Jane, who tells me that  she drank some kinda protein shake for breakfast.  Me, I  get my once-weekly fried egg on one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast very lightly spread with some avocado,  drink my first big mug of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, pop all  my usual drugs  :P   and drink another tall cup of water. Over and after breakfast I happily read for thirty minutes first up. reaching page fifty @ exactly 10:30!
• Once the alarm goes off, Jane covers my face, neck, throat and both hands with sunscreen then washes the breakfast stuff up while I use the loo for one more tinkle.
• Less than thirty minutes left,  so just briefly:
• Bought groceries from Coles from Woolies Underwood MarketPlace plus my once-weekly  honey chicken sushi roll from The Sushi Creators.
• Got homeUsed loo once more for  two tinkles @ 12:55pm then  signed Jane off with my  thanks and byes; she's doing the Bridge To Brisbane toms with  her partner  too -  the 10km one! and showered - hairwash  today. Also thanks to Jane who rinses out my hair for me, thus freeing  Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Lunch is one yummy tuna in tomato and onion with  TWO slices of cheese plus two more big  mugs of white tea sweetened with two teaspoonfuls of sugar. I happily read for another fifty-five minutes, reaching page seventy-five @ 12:38pm.
• Used the loo for two more tinkles @ 12:55pm then signed Jane off with my thanks and byes;  she's back for table tennis next Wednesday and will do the10km B2B event with her partner toms!
• Me, once I've used up the most important two hours of my day I'll use the loo  for one tinkle then sit  @ the gobbling :P  table and munch my arvo  tea honey chicken sushi roll. Also, Jane found the teabag Singular Bee Gee gave me yesterday inside Sally yesterday and returned it; I'm  drinking it this arvo!
• Toms: instead of attending ESS toms, I'm  doing the Bridge To Brisbane 5km event with Louiza and the NAB gang! The plan's walk  the 1st km, use Sparkless3 for the 2nd km, walk  the 3rd km,  use Sparkless3 for thee 4th km and then  walk the 5th km. I've got till  midday to cross the  finish line; should  I still not have finished come 11:45am/11:55am, I'll just sit into Sparkless3 and Louiza'll push me really  fast the rest of the way but obviously I'll get up and walk across the finish line myself! Mostly I'm looking forward to  the freebies: a copy of the Sunday Mail, my medal and I even vaguely recall that someone handed out free chocolate energy drinks @ the end!
• Louiza's with me till 4pm so we'll have lunch @ Ho Lin Wah again before heading home for a shower.
• Anyways, hopefully  bbl  else hope everyone has a smashing Sunday ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

Friday Post 325c

 One final good evening and greeting for tonight! Em's final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 5625. Anyways, final, final events for tonight?

• 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.

• When nature suddenly called @ 8:20pm/8:40pm I walked myself once again slowly and safely  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.

• At 9pm I  walked myself once more slowly and safely to   the loo for one more tinkle and back, again and always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

• Toms: Jane's minding  me again but only till 1pm this time, I think; today she stayed till 2pm.  PIG mum says we'll buy my arvo tea honey sushi from from The Sushi  Creators plus any groceries she wants then come home for shower and lunch.
• Nothing happening  after Jane leaves;  looking forward to spend my most important two hours online, enjoy my honey chicken sushi roll for arvo tea plus read the new book club novel all arvo; it's only Saturdays that I can spend a blessed three hours reading~
• Anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^

• When PIG mum summoned me for dinner @ 7:04pm I used the loo for one tinkle 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.

Friday Post 325

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 5158 steps (sweet I'm more than half a normal person today; that's rare!); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'How To Fight Anxiety';  thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Pray Boldly (1)' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Devine Comfort'.  Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, what better way to end the working week than with an awesome sleep last night? Nature didn't  call until the noisy garbage truck  THUNDERED down our road tipping bins 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, nature calling again around 9am. Shortly afterwards, PIG mum's let herself into my  room  to hit me with the eye goo  and give poor Elf an  extremely brief rub since she'd totally ignored my poor foot last night. That's alright; Era rubbed Elf's ankle for fifteen minutes last night and  let her wear her sock to sleep but  obviously remembered to remove the sock first thing this morning! XD
• After PIG mum lets Jane inside @ 8am, she knocks, opens the door and says "Good morning Em; fifteen more minutes." Daddy Bear gives a single paw nod and just like that she's gone, denying him the chance to imperiously flick his paw 'shoo'! @ her. XD
• After Jane comes back and taps me, I sit up, say good morning then use the pot :P  for three more tinkles before we get me kitted. I head over to the bathroom  and brush teeth, before sitting over the loo for one tinkle. After washing and drying Era, I 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 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. 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* Thanks also to Jane who turns on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure~
• Breakfast finished, Jane covers me with sunscreen then  walks behind me back to the bathroom before returning to  the kitchen and washing the breakfast dishes up. Over the loo, , 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 Sally and Jane  tootles me off  to the NAB for two hours' physio.  Thanks to  her who kindly  helped me buckle my seatbelt both ways.
• Only thirty minutes left, so just briefly:
• NAB physio with Chan for two hours: Walked 1km out to the Great Court, around once and back down, two games of standing snakes and ladders walking and bending down to floor and picking the die up.
• Got home, showered, had lunch then sat over loo for two tinkles @ 1:55 before plopping online.
• Looking forward to starting to read the new book club novel for one hour and watching the 6pm news for the 173RD time!
• Toms: Jane's minding  me 9:30am till 1pm; buying my arvo tea honey chicken sushi  with her then coming back home  for personal care.  Planning to read the book club novel  for three hours toms!
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing weekend ahead!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
