good evening!
em plodded 4478 steps today. and i realised i've been a bit slack in reporting about last night,sorry, but if i do forget, it just means that it's all the same as everything i typed out on thursday. anyways, PIG mum did force me on a couple mins of left hand exercises last night b4 i was allowed to cuddle my darling bear bear and snore our respective heads off (i mantain, he snores louder! :P):
1. left hand fingers all open, starting from the thumb.
2. left hand fingers all open, starting from the pointer.
3. left hand fingers all open, thumbs up, then back down.
4. left hand some thai boxing on the blue matress, approx 20x i think it was.
-i was kinda proud also that i managed to take myself to the loo at night without falling to my death!
-best of all, PIG mum allowed me to ring my beloved grandma. and she prayed with me too, b4 i went to sleep. :) and i now have another incentive to get better so i can go back to HK at the end of the year: grandma says that running around after baby mickey (he's 1 and a half, now!) makes her quite tired, and in need of a back/shoulder massage. if i work hard at getting my left hand better, i can do that! anyways, here comes the spotty points for today! :P
-em was jealous of my darling bear bear this morning - he got to sleep in, whereas em got dug up, kitted, and made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) to walk out to the gobbling table. :P
-breakfast was a yummy bowl of just wrong:P. then, thanks to PIG mum who kindly popped me my drugs for the day: :P a fish oil, a bilberry/cranberry, and a garlic.
-time to go, PIG mum made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car, listening to chris tomlin. as usual, the trip was a bit of a car battle, with mum reducing the volume to 8 or under during every song, and me taking it back up to 10 at the end of every song.
-we parked, then PIG mum made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk all the way in to the day physio.
-physio with dom dom began at 9am. it's her daughter claire's, first birthday toms! dom dom told me that they'd already thrown her a bday party over the weekend, and that they plan to take her to scotland to visit her grandparents in june. but lol, imagine having your bday on april fool's day :P
-no lite gait today, just dom dom scaring the crap out of me by doing all these posture movements with me.
-yay, the same lady as last week came with morning tea! i keep forgetting her name, though .... rachel, thanks, PIG mum. :) so, white and 2 for me, and 2 bikkies, a scotch finger and a nice. dom dom told me to stay on the bed to eat it, so i admit, i drank and gulped as quickly as possible.
-time to go, we said our byes and thanks to dom dom, and PIG mum made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back out. actually, i walked to the loo. PIG mum went for a tinkle next door herself, then came back to make (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, then she made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the car.
-i changed the CD from chris tomlin to rush of fools, then PIG mum tootled us home.
-PIG mum made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back in on arrival, and i crashed on the couch to watch 9's, then 7's morning news, as PIG mum decided to have her lunch first and not wait for me.
-i rang dear dad. but oops, i must've pissed him off, or sth, coz he hung up on me. :( oh well, i just rang him back. luckily he answered. :)
-one more thing ... i'm not really sure why ... dear dad has complained that i'm not willing to walk the extra 100 steps or so to say goodnight to him. i'm just curious ... is it really so wrong to say goodnight after i finish my dinner, or ask him to walk over and say goodnight to me when he decides to sleep himself? oh well, i guess, if PIG mum likes making me walk those extra steps, i can only comply. ><
-after the news, PIG mum made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the gobbling table, :P where i tucked into lunch:2 yummy battered fish! a hoki and a dory, i think it was. i also gotta thank PIG mum for allowing me to squirt a bit of mayo on them. not as much as i'd've liked, but still. oh, and i had a plain glass of milk as well.
-then i sat down to continue reading my janny wurts novel until leann arrived. (if you happen to read this leann - i gave her my blog URL - hi!!!!!!!!!! :P)
-PIG mum kindly made us cups of green tea with a tiny bit of honey. well, for me and herself, anyway. leann had brought her own teabag - some strawberry, rasberry, and some other-berry. it made her tea pink!
-oh dear. after drinking my tea, i needed the bathroom. >< so i introduced my cool bread to leann, and PIG mum made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the loo, of course forcing me to dak myself.
-i actually ended up doing a stinky unspeakable, and wiped myself too. then, PIG mum came to check, make (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, and make (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the table.
-we just had a chat with leann - how weird is this - her son doesn't like chocolate! makes me wonder if he was dropped on his head as a baby. :P
-ding dong! amanda came at 3pm, and i excused myself for a shower.
-hairwash today. and i've a few spots on my forehead, around my nose and chin, but it's nothing too bad.
-amanda got me rekitted and Forced me to walk back outside, where PIG mum and leann were still having a yak.
-arvo tea: a cup of bushell's australian breakfast sweetened by a single spoonful of honey, and a toasted cheese and ham sandwhih. too bad, i only got 1 slice of cheese, so it was ENTIRELY too thin, but fingers crossed for better luck toms! i mean, i only ask for 2 slices of cheese once a week, not every day! ><
-leann left, and PIG mum rocked off to buy some stuff so that ping can make dumplings with me toms! i'm drooling already ... i wonder if she'll consent to frying me any ... fingers crossed!
-i read for awhile, then amanda Forced me to walk to my chair in front of the TV.
-we watched keroro, the cartoon movie that uncle fung had bought for me. there were english subtitles, but i just listened to the canto - and surprisingly, understood most of it! :P only question, i don't get that frog's name ... must ask amanda when i see her again on friday.
-i then read my janny wurt's novel, fugitive prince, till 5:30, when amanda flicked the TV to ten's news. that was followed by 7's news at 6pm, read out by rod young and kay mcgrath, sport by pat welsh, and weather by john schluter. i think brisbane's going to be 20 - 28 toms?
-once the news was over, i wanted to pee, so amanda Forced me to walk to the loo, Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but she very kindly dried it for me - and Forced me to walk back to my chair.
-she made me a new drink! a glass of milk, with a bit of honey put into it. quite yummy, actually!
-she rocked off 5 mins early. PIG mum bounced back to force me on a long round of hand exercises, culminating in a walk up to my bed. i said a tired hello to dear wavey, who was surprised but happy to see me there so soon.
-PIG mum made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back down. actually, i walked to my loo, then she made(please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back down, correction.
-dinner: rice, carrots and chicken. oh, and a slice of yummy tofu from aunty tiffany's friend! wow, she must be some chef indeed ... to MAKE tofu from scratch! no idea how she does it ... all washed down with a yummy if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down pear juice.
-PIG mum then made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the computer, and i tootled back online. oh, and in total, PIG mum forced me to do 15-25 mins of exercises, i think. well, roughly that, anyway :P
-ping's coming toms, to make dumplings with me! em is drooling already ... :P also, house and icecream toms. can't wait!
cheers,
em. ^^!

monday post
good evening! including hydro, em plodded 3390 steps today. anyways, since last night was a sunday, em was very thankful that PIG mum didn't force me on any exercises last night and just cuddle my dearest bear bear to sleep. my only regret was that PIG mum refused me permission to ring my dear grandma b4 i hit pig land. i mean, it only would've been a bit before 8pm over there! >< but oh well, i'll ask her again on wednesday. i don't think she'll refuse. anyways, here comes the spotty :Ppoints for the day!
-em got to be a happy pig until 9am this morning. the phone rang and someone knocked on our door, but i happily snored away until PIG mum came to dig me up.
-turns out the knocker was aunty tiffany who'd come with more yummy tofu for us! the ringer was actually uncle/pastor chong, who'd rang to ask if he could come visit this arvo.
-i went once more in the pot then got kitted, before PIG mum made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. >,) me walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-breakfast was a yummy bowl of just wrong. :p i also obediently washed my face when ordered to by PIG mum.
-time to go, PIG mum made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car.
-off she tootled us off to UQ, listening to chris tomlin.
-on arrival, PIG mum made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk in. we caught the elevator up, then i went to the loo. PIG mum then made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, then she made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the waiting area.
-she handed me a triathlon and multi-sport magazine to browse as she went to pay.
-jenn came in to tell me all about her bday! she's 27, now!
-PIG mum came back, and jenn Forced me to walk inside their physio gym.
-tilt table for me first. while i was upended, jenn did some right arm cone reachy work.
-*sigh* PIG mum says she's booting me off at 9:30pm. oh well.
-time to go, i walked out using not a wheelie walker, but a rollator (sp?)! i wonder which one is better suited for me...
-PIG mum tootled us home, snapping a refusal to any of my lunch requests. ah well, i can but try again toms. i wonder though, what time does green tea house open? never mind, i know sunnybank oriental will definitely be open by the time we leave for physio.
-dear dad was home when we arrived! so he made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk in, then went back to microwaving/eating his own lunch.
- lunch for me was noodles with some chicken, tomato, carrot and potato. that i washed down with a glass of plain milk.
-i read my janny wurts novel for awhile, then PIG mum decided that she was booting me off to bed. *sigh* i had no choice but to comply.
-but i needed the bathroom first. so PIG mum made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the loo first, also forcing me to pull my own daks down.
-i ended up doing a stinky unspeakable. PIG mum then made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, then made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to bed.
- i didn't actually fall asleep; just sang and counted until the doorbell rang.
-PIG mum got me back up, then made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the dining hall. i bid a happy hello to uncle/pastor chong and wife (can't spell her name though, sorry. did ask once before, it's sth like 'sooi pheng')
-we had a chat, PIG mum jumping in at every opportunity to tell them what a dreadful child i was.
-ding dong! amanda arrived next, and just sat around waiting as uncle/pastor chong prayed for me before they left.
-amanda fed me my arvo tea - a toasted cheese - too bad, only one slice, so it was ENTIRELY too thin. oh well, better luck toms! and ham sandwhich cut into 4 squares, and a cup of tea, sweetened with a single spoonful of honey.
-amanda and PIG mum got me kitted for hydro, then PIG mum made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to say, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to barry.
-amanda tootled us off to hydro, the radio set to NOVA.
-on arrival, amanda Forced me to walk in, and i took a seat on the lift chair.
-judith came over, strapped up my silly left ankle in sport's tape, and slowly lowered me into the 34 degree water, which felt surprisingly warmer than usual today!
-so, hydro: walking forwards and sideways, squatting, some left arm work, some left leg work, floating around sculling and kicking and my favourite - THREE head dunks! actually, judith said she was mega-impressed coz when i did it, i sat all the way down on the pool floor! it's not that hard, really. the pool's only 1.2m deep.
-i chose to walk back out, then amanda wheeld me in for a nice hot shower.
-whoops, no time left remaining! PIG mum's kicking me off to bed now. *sigh* meaning, if she can last the distance, toms i'll try to stay online for 2 hrs 20 mins. goodnite, all!
cheers,
em. ^^

sunday post
evening, all! the spam count for the weekend is 183, and em got made to plod 4005 steps today. about last night, first:
-repeat everything i typed out on thursday. still all the same. ><
and PIG mum forced me on roughly 5mins of hand exercises b4 i was allowed to hit the sack last night:
1. hold both hands together, raise up then holf dor a count of 10. repeat 30x.
2. left hand fingers all open, starting from the pointer.
3. left hand fingers all open, starting from the thumb.
-i can breathe a sigh of relief, though, knowing that it's a sunday, the day of rest. so tonight, i'll just cuddle up to my dearest bear bear, and sing and count myself to sleep.
righteo, here comes the spotty points :P for today!
-PIG mum dug em up this morning. i must've done sth that offended her, coz she SLAPPED and KICKED me REALLY HARD, leaving a red angry splotch for more than ten mins. luckily, it faded away then.
-i honestly don't remember if/what i had for breakfast, but in the end, dear dad tootled us off for our first service at the new church!
-parents made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum><) me walk in to take a seat for our first ever service at our new church! i sat next to PIG mum; not really sure where dear dad sat.

-the choir sang a song too, i think.
-after service, i needed to go to the bathroom, so parents made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum><) me walk to the loo. then they made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand. but hey, a point of congratulations - they've put up a bar in the disabled toilets! thanks~ then they made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum><) me walk all the way out to the morning tea area, down the stairs.
-oh, i almost forgot, sorry. after the service, parents made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum><) me walk over to take a group shot! i managed to be good and not do the bunny ears on anyone, even though i still did the peace sign for myself.
-a point of contention - you know how i said PIG mum was mega-pissed at me this morning? well, they were so pissed PIG mum actually refused to give me my pedometer! >< meaning i had to count each and every step aloud. ><
-i got a few bikkies, a few grapes and a cup of cordial.
-time for meeting, parents made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum><) me walk into the main hall. again, i sat next to PIG mum, dunno where dear dad rocked off to again, and meeting started.

-then, it was time for lunch! parents made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum><) me walk down to a table; i took a seat, and parents kindly went searching for some food for me.
-i got: a yummy slice of pizza, 2 yummy dumplings, a mushroom, and some noodles. desert was fantastic! thanks to aunty hilda who made some really yummy desert with icecream inside! and some fruit, from dear dad.
-time to go, parents made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum><) me walk back to the car, and dad tootled us home.
-parents made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum><) me walk back inside, and i settled down with my janny wurts novel to await karen's arrival.
-when she arrived, she Forced me to walk into the laundry. i dakked myself, then sat in my wheel-less showerchair. :(
-shower with hairwash today. and i've only got 2 spots - one on my chin, the other on the side of my nose.
-karen kindly left the showerhead on an extra min soi could have a tinkle, then i got dried and redressed.
-karen dried the floor, handed me my stick, then Forced me to walk out to my chair.
-arvo tea: a toasted ham, cheese and mayo sandwhich. too bad, i only got one slice, so it was ENTIRELY too thin. :( but amanda's coming toms - better luck toms! it was cut into 4 squares, and i also got a nice cup of tea (i never remember what it is if the teabag is taken out) sweetened with 2 teaspoonfuls of honey.
-i read my janny wurts novel for awhile, karen gave my left hand a massage, then forced me on 20mins of left hand exercises. just dumbell and theraplaydough :P
-at 5:30pm, karen Forced me to walk to the piano. my right hand played every major, minor, melodicminor, and chromatic scale, plus a few christmas carols, and my left handed thudded out what it could.
-news time, karen Forced me to walk back to my chair. 7's news was read out by sharyn ghidella, sport by pat welsh, weather by talitha cummins, and beach by liz cantor. i then watched sunday night till 6:45pm.
-at 6:45, karen handed me my stick and Forced me to walk to the toilet. she also forcedme to dak myself - i complied, of course.
-then she Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but dried it for me, thanks - and Forced me to walk back to my chair in the dining room.
-karen took her leave 5 mins early, she and jamie will be having steak and salad for tea tonight.
-PIG mum promptly grabbed me and forced me to do like half an hour's worth of exercises, culminating in making (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum><) me walk up the stairs to give my room a visit. i flopped on my bed for awhile, b4 parents made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum><) me walk back down the stairs. unfortunately,i must've walked bad by dad, coz he made me go all over again b4 i was allowed down for dinner.
-dinner: congee, carrot, potato, and beef (i think. coz both PIG mum and i have forgotten, oops. ><") i washed that down with a cup of yummy ribena.

-righteo, i think i'm going to be booted offline now; guess i'll have to hold off the watching of naruto till later, maybe toms? on monday, i've got physio at UQ and hydro .anyways, goodnite, all! hope everyone has a great week! as for me, i guess i'll just have to sing, count and cry myself to sleep. bye-bye!

saturday post
good evening!
sorry i couldn't post yesterday, i must've failed PIG mum's requirements of me. anyways, yesterday i plodded steps and today i plodded 3310 steps. i'll have to just jump straight into the spotty :p points for today, coz i know PIG mum is eagerly trying to boot me offline.
-em was a happy ig all morning.
-PIG mum came home, got me kitted, and made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i really want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CNSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the gobbling table. :P
-brunch was rollini with some potatoes and carrots. oh, and a glass of plain milk.
-i read until vincent the physio arrived. >< first session: PT.
-walking, left arm work, more walking.
-i introduced him to cherame, then, when he left, cherame Forced me to walk to the bathroom.
-i dakked myself, took a seat, and cherame gave me a shower - no hirwash today.
-i got redressed, dried, then cherame (i remember, i think! her surname is mossley!) Forced me to walk back outside to my chair.
-arvo tea: a toasted cheese - too bad, only 1 slice of cheese, so ENTIRELY too thin, but no complaints, coz this week has already been satisfied - ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into 4 squares. also a cup of yummy rice green tea ... i don't think cherame put any honey into it ... :( but oh well.
-cherame Forced me to walk over to my armchair for the news, and she kindly fed me some yummy grapes and half a cracker - even though i asked for 2.
-at 6:15, cherame Forced me to walk to the loo. i dakked myself, had a tinkle.
-cherame Forced me to walk to the car, then kindly helped me do my seatbelt.
-she left, parents piled in, and off dad tootled us to sunnybank plaza. i'm not really sure why it's such a sin to tuck your hand behind the car seat, nor why it is such a sin to place it down the front of the car. well, PIG mum commands that i place it on top of my thighs. i guess i can only comply.
-dad parked, then the parents made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i really want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CNSORED by PIG mum. ><) me catch the elevator up and walk in.
-the fong's were already there. we said our hellos, then took a seat.
-we ordered a group meal, not each ordering a plate of food. i got a cold milk tea, though i needed uncle jason to protect it for me, lest dad stole a few gulps. :P(in the end, he still succeeded).
-food arrived! i got some rice, a few beoccoli, a bit of charsiu and other roast meat 2 or 3 yummy scallops, and some yummy lemon chicken. i guess at the end, i was barely satiated, but PIG mum forbade me anymore, saying i had to leave it all for uncle jason. oh well.
-so i slurped down my yummy cold milk tea, and chatted. uncle jason's got 4 or 5 siblings, actually. he's related to aunty frances! something like, her husband is uncle jason's brother.
-time to go, we said our byes - did you know, uncle jason's mum lives all by herself! clever woman! she doesn't speak any english, but she walks better than i do! - then the parents made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i really want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CNSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back down to our car.
-dad tootled us home, no music this time.
-parents made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to see what i really want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CNSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back inside, and i tootled online. i know PIG mum's waiting eagerly to boot me off, oh well. anyways, i hope to see everyone at church toms! church luncheon, too! yumyum~
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. just for you, charlsy - no gleefully! :P

thursday post
good evening, peoples! my plodding total for today stands at 4464. and since it's a thursday, i'll type everything out once (hopefully i'll manage to finish b4 9:30pm, coz PIG mum's saying that's when she'll boot me off!)
-whenever i had to walk, i used to say PIG mum FORCED :( me to, until she banned me from using capitals. so i just used Forced, until she banned that word entirely. then i moved to the word 'contort', until she decided that this word was also too offensive for her eyes and banned that too, saying that henceforth, i could only use 'made'. so i used MADE, until she ordered that it all had to be in lowercase. *sigh* well, what can i do but comply?
ok, and about last night:
1. PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what ireally want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the kitchen from the computer desk to drink my nightly half a cup of milk. in the past, she'd bring it over to me here, in her eagerness to boot me offline, but not anymore.
2. PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what ireally want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk from the kitchen to the bathroom.
3. i had to stand while brushing my teeth, and because my right hand took the initial pre-brush rinse, PIG mum forced my left hand to rinse with my right hand 4x to make it up for it. i've said b4, i've no idea why that's so important to her, but i can only comply.
4. after flossing (i will stand up straight as PIG mum demands, but i don't need to look into the mirror. i floss by feel) and washing both hands, PIGmum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what ireally want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to dry them.
5. PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what ireally want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the toilet.
6. PIG mum forced me to dak myself for a tinkle.
7. when i stood up, PIG mum forced me to pull up my pants.
8. PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what ireally want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand. i'm not really sure why she refuses to help me dry it, i just lean over to dry it myself. i have pointed out to PIG mum that the carer will help me dry it, but she just snaps at me that they'll do everything for me if i so asked, they get paid for it.
9. PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what ireally want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to my bed.
10. still no pull-up pants. argh. >< i wonder what the chances are that i'll get my monthlies toms, so i won't have to go to hydro? murphy's law, i'll prolly get it toms arvo, after hydro. huh, trust myluck (or there lack of:P)
well, i've got 15mins to race through my spotty :P points for today - we'll see how we go!
-em was dug up mega early by PIG mum this morning - our UQ appointment was at 9am!
-breakfast was a glass of water, followed by aglass of milk. PIG mum then gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i really want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the car.
-PIG mum tootled us off to UQ, listening to chris tomlin. that's the CD given to me by uncle yuk tai, aunty denise, and aunty katherine for my birthday. he sounds quite good, actually!
-PIG mum borrowed a wheelchair from UQ on arrival, and i wheeled myself into the loo.
-i went to wash and dry both hands as PIG mum used the amenities herself. then i wheeled myself back out to the waiting area.
-PIG mum fed me breakfast - a museli bar courtesy of aunty joanne, and some water. smart woman, she even remembered to bring toothpicks!
-my turn, i wheeled myself in. we had a bit of a chat to all these people; but sorry, i've forgotten all their names. ><" but there was a man, 3 ladies, and a student (whom PIG mum thinks her name is 'lulu'. lol!)then one did a sensory test on my left hand (i've got sensation, but it's all muddled up, like, if you brush the back of my palm, i might think that you're touching the tips of my fingers, or sth silly like that. ><"
-finally, they made me a new hand splint!
- andsorry, that's as far as i'm going to get, coz PIG mum says she's tired and is therefore booting me off to bed. so this post is TBC. goodnite, all!
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post
good evening, peoples! no plodding total from me yet, coz dinner hasn't been called. i'll pop back online for a few mins after dinner before house to note my plodding total for today. but first, a great big thank-you to charlsy and kwany! 2 comments in one day - that's 3 for the month in total! thanks, guys :) anyways, let's jump into the spotty points :P for the day!
-PIG mum dug em up this morning, got me kitted, then gleefully made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)
-i planted my bum on the seat in front of the TV, then started watching 9's news, read out by kellie conolly (sp?), followed by 7's news, read out by anne sanders. aunty wendy gave my left arm and hand a massage, then gave my right one one as well! :P dunno why ...
-i scooched over for lunch at midday, having congee/rice with lotsa some chinese vegetable and bits of yummy chicken. that was just washed down with a glass of water.
-i read my janny wurts novel until PIG mum returned. i told her i needed to pee, so she handed me over to aunty wendy, who Forced me to walk to the loo.
-aunty wendy then Forced me to walk back to my chair. when she left, i tootled briefly online until the DSQ workers came. PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to take a seat.
-PIG mum kindly made us cups of tea. funny - i wonder, did she put half a teaspoon of honey into her own cup, but absolutely none into mine? coz i tasted both, and hers was sweeter, i swear. so i just drank hers. :P
-evelyn came a little late (she got stuck in traffic off logan road) and Forced me to walk into the laundry.
-she forced me to dak myself before i sat in my showerchair, so i had no choice but to comply.
-a nice hot shower followed - hairwash today. evelyn helped me scrub my back and right arm, i did the rest - even my calves, even though i'm terrified that i'll slip from that showerchair.i scrubbed my own face too, good to hear that i'm only a little spotty on my chin.
-evelyn got me dried and rekitted, then Forced me to walk back out to the dining room, where the DSQ ladies were just leaving. but i think they're coming back in a fortnight or so.
-no time for arvo tea, PT awaited. so PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to evelyn's car. i honestly don't know why she snapped a refusal to my polite request to please put sparkless in evelyn's boot. i mean, unlike barry (amanda's car), her car is big and spacious and would fit in sparkless just fine.
-evelyn tootled us off to vincent the physios, listening to B105. i provided some directions.
-oops, PIG mum forgot to put the disabled parkig sticker in evelyn's car. luckily, we still found a park just outside.
-ok, am being summoned for dinner now, so i'll bbl, ok? time is now ... 7:43pm
-*burp* i'm back! time is now 7:59pm, and dinner tonight: rice, lotsa bean sprouts or alfafa, a piece of bok choy, 2 pieces of carrot, and 2 small but yummy peices of ham. all washed down with a a glass of water, PIG mum won't allow me pear juice, coz i've got an upset yummy. then she gleefully made good evening, peoples! no plodding total from me yet, coz dinner hasn't been called. i'll pop back online for a few mins after dinner before house to note my plodding total for today. but first, a great big thank-you to charlsy and kwany! 2 comments in one day - that's 3 for the month in total! thanks, guys :) anyways, let's jump into the spotty points :P for the day!

-i planted my bum on the seat in front of the TV, then started watching 9's news, read out by kellie conolly (sp?), followed by 7's news, read out by anne sanders. aunty wendy gave my left arm and hand a massage, then gave my right one one as well! :P dunno why ...
-i scooched over for lunch at midday, having congee/rice with lotsa some chinese vegetable and bits of yummy chicken. that was just washed down with a glass of water.
-i read my janny wurts novel until PIG mum returned. i told her i needed to pee, so she handed me over to aunty wendy, who Forced me to walk to the loo.

PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to take a seat.

-evelyn came a little late (she got stuck in traffic off logan road) and Forced me to walk into the laundry.
-she forced me to dak myself before i sat in my showerchair, so i had no choice but to comply.
-a nice hot shower followed - hairwash today. evelyn helped me scrub my back and right arm, i did the rest - even my calves, even though i'm terrified that i'll slip from that showerchair.i scrubbed my own face too, good to hear that i'm only a little spotty on my chin.
-evelyn got me dried and rekitted, then Forced me to walk back out to the dining room, where the DSQ ladies were just leaving. but i think they're coming back in a fortnight or so.
-no time for arvo tea, PT awaited. so PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the top of thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to evelyn's car. i honestly don't know why she snapped a refusal to my polite request to please put sparkless in evelyn's boot. i mean, unlike barry (amanda's car), her car is big and spacious and would fit in sparkless just fine.
-evelyn tootled us off to vincent the physios, listening to B105. i provided some directions.
-oops, PIG mum forgot to put the disabled parkig sticker in evelyn's car. luckily, we still found a park just outside.

good afternoon! b4 i start warbling on about what happened last night and this morning, let's cover what i did on my bday first!
well, i was a-snoring with my beloved bear bear and young denny until PIG mum dug me up and got me kitted for hydro. she gleefully made (GO! to thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car, and off she tootled us to hydro. on arrival, PIG mum gleefully made good afternoon! b4 i start warbling on about what happened last night and this morning, let's cover what i did on my bday first!

-whoops, susan's here, so i'll bbl, ok? time is now ... 3:02pm.
-good evening! time is now 7:20pm, and my final plodding total for today now stands at 1290. so, where was i?
-oh. judith lowered me into the pool, and hydro started. walking forwards and sideways, squatting, kicking, floating and some left arm work. oh, and my favourite head dunk in at the end, of course. :P
winched back out, PIG mum pushed me in for a hosedown. i went for a tinkle afterwards, before i got redressed. sadly, PIG mum refused me permission to walk out the fire exit, like how judith had given us permission to, last time. but i still received a happy surprise - as PIG mum gleefully made (GO! to thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back out to the car, judith and ann gave me a rendition of happy birthday! complete with hippip hoorays too! :)
-we rang dear dad, then tootled off to the PA for our lunch date with monica.
-i was gratefully plopped into sparkless on arrival, and wheeled myself into the cafetaria, PIG mum lending some steering.
-we met up with monica! lol, when PIG mum rang her, she accidentally dropped her phone in the loo. >< but that'sokay, her insurance covers the 'if you drop in the toilet' accident, so i hope she'll be alright.
-PIG mum kindly got me an iced chocolate from starbucks and a bowl of fish and chips with gravy. for monica, she got a skinny cuppacino (sp?) and herself, this chicken and avocado sandwhich. she traded bites with me in return for some of my beautiful fish and chips.
-we had a yak to monica - must remember to keep her in my prayers to percy the angel tonight! her brain tumour is regrowing :S but her family's doing good - little elilah has a baby sister called amelia now!
-much thanks to monica for a bday card and pressie too! this cute red magnetic thing with 3 or 4 doggy clips; it's for holding photos in.
-we said our byes to monica, and i wheeled myself back out, making a stop on the way so we could buy a newspaper.
-i was very surprised indeed when PIG mum said yes to my request if we could pop into BIRU! so i wheeled myself in, we saw evelyn! then thanks to aunty rose who let us in.
-we had a bit of a yak to margaret (my favourite ankle-smacking nurse :P) and kesley. oh, and andy too, who came around to gimmee a hug when i told him that it was my bday!
-last stop, i wheeled myself into the BIRU gym to try and find bob. but only jayne was here. she said lucky janelle had the day off, then passed on the sad news - poor bob is very sick! so i must remember to keep him in my prayers tonight to percy the angel along with monica. she said sth about poor bob needing palliative care or sth ... doesn't that mean there's no cure?! i hope not - the man's only 61!
-anyways, i wheeled mysef back out and into the car. PIG mum rang amanda to let her know that she could come, then tootled us home.
-PIG mum gleefully made (GO! to thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk in, and i flopped in bed for awhile until amanda arrived. she sang me a happy bday song (i did the hip hips :P), then swapped me into the showerchair with the wheels. sadly, PIG mum says that's the last shower i'll ever get with the wheels. oh well, i guess i'll just have to ask my carer to wash more of me than what i usually could manage in the showerchair with the wheels.
-amanda rolled me in for a tinkle afterwards, then got me redressed. i went for one more tinkle, b4 she Forced me to walk back to my seat at the gobbling table.

-we ordered. i got a chicken spumante with a choc shake, PIG mum had garlic and chilli prawns with rice and salad, dear dad got my all-time favourite fettucine cabonara, mrs dent got some risotto thing, and i forgot what mr dent got, sorry. we chatted, renee or leah is overseas, and the other one (i can never remember which one is which, sorry, just that there's 3 yrs difference between them) is conducting the queensland symphony orchestra. for dessert i got a cup of yummy caramel icecream - dear dad kept pinching some, lol :P time to go, we said our thanks and byes to the dents, and the parents gleefully made (GO! to thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk all the way back to the car. dear dad tootled us back home, still listening to westlife. on arrival, PIG mum gleefully made (GO! to thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back into the house. i tootled online for like 30mins, receiving some bday well wishes from family and friends, and talking to aunty number 4 on the phone. PIG mum kicked me off to bed; the usual routine followed, except that PIG mum took pity on me and helped me pull my daks up, then i cuddled my darling bear bear and denny and sang and counted myself to sleep. zzz :P righteo, here comes the spotty points for today! :P
-em was an incredible happy pig with bear bear and denny all morning. i managed to swing myself to the showerchair and have a tinkle without killing myself, too. :)
-PIG mum came home, dug me up, and gleefully made (GO! to thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the gobbling table.
-brunch was congee with some pork floss.
-PIG mum then gleefully made (GO! to thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car. dear dad tootled us off to warrigal rd state school, to vote.
-i was gratefully plopped into sparkless on arrival.dad excused me from wheeling myself in as the floor was steep and he feared that i would kill myself falling out. :P
-we voted - i went for anna bligh, that is, stephen robertson in our electorate - then we dropped our votes into the ballot box.
-i wheeled myself back out. we bumped into wilfreddy's dad, actually! then dear dad tootled us back home, still listening to westlife.
-i popped online briefly until susan's arrival. PIG mum headed for pig land :P
-susan Forced me to walk into the laundry, and also forced me to dak myself. i got a hairwash today, and luckily, only have 2 pimples on my chin.

-susan gave me a hand massage as i read my janny wurts novel for awhile, then forced me on 20mins of hand exercises - just theraplaydough today.

-she left promptly at 7pm. happy bday to her bro, who's 27-29 today! she'll be back toms, so i must remember to ask her where they went to celebrate.
-dinner for me was congee, a bit of yummy pork flos, and a piece of carrot and potato both. washed down with a yummy, if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down pear juice.
-PIG mum gleefully made (GO! to thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to pop online. she's eagerly waiting to boot me off to bed, so i guess i had better say goodnite and end here. dear dad's gone to watch soccer at uncle tyrone's - i hope he has fun! i'll be fast asleep when he returns home. :Pactually, i'm feeling quite sad - toms will be our final, LAST service at our old church!i've been attending it for like 18+ years! well, i'll try to say bye to both toilets :P and ask PIG mum if she can drive me up to the morning tea area. if someone could grab me a chair, i could enjoy one last bikkie and one last cup of cordial. there's no bible study coz there'll be an AGM toms. hope to see yous all at church toms!

-we ordered. i got a chicken spumante with a choc shake, PIG mum had garlic and chilli prawns with rice and salad, dear dad got my all-time favourite fettucine cabonara, mrs dent got some risotto thing, and i forgot what mr dent got, sorry. we chatted, renee or leah is overseas, and the other one (i can never remember which one is which, sorry, just that there's 3 yrs difference between them) is conducting the queensland symphony orchestra. for dessert i got a cup of yummy caramel icecream - dear dad kept pinching some, lol :P time to go, we said our thanks and byes to the dents, and the parents gleefully made (GO! to thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk all the way back to the car. dear dad tootled us back home, still listening to westlife. on arrival, PIG mum gleefully made (GO! to thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back into the house. i tootled online for like 30mins, receiving some bday well wishes from family and friends, and talking to aunty number 4 on the phone. PIG mum kicked me off to bed; the usual routine followed, except that PIG mum took pity on me and helped me pull my daks up, then i cuddled my darling bear bear and denny and sang and counted myself to sleep. zzz :P righteo, here comes the spotty points for today! :P
-em was an incredible happy pig with bear bear and denny all morning. i managed to swing myself to the showerchair and have a tinkle without killing myself, too. :)
-PIG mum came home, dug me up, and gleefully made (GO! to thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the gobbling table.
-brunch was congee with some pork floss.
-PIG mum then gleefully made (GO! to thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car. dear dad tootled us off to warrigal rd state school, to vote.
-i was gratefully plopped into sparkless on arrival.dad excused me from wheeling myself in as the floor was steep and he feared that i would kill myself falling out. :P
-we voted - i went for anna bligh, that is, stephen robertson in our electorate - then we dropped our votes into the ballot box.
-i wheeled myself back out. we bumped into wilfreddy's dad, actually! then dear dad tootled us back home, still listening to westlife.
-i popped online briefly until susan's arrival. PIG mum headed for pig land :P
-susan Forced me to walk into the laundry, and also forced me to dak myself. i got a hairwash today, and luckily, only have 2 pimples on my chin.
-i got redressed, then susan handed me my stick and Forced me to walk back out to my chair.
-arvo tea: a cup of bushell's australian breakfast with some honey and a toasted cheese - i chose 2 slices over mayo - and ham sandwhich, cut up into 4 squares.
-susan gave me a hand massage as i read my janny wurts novel for awhile, then forced me on 20mins of hand exercises - just theraplaydough today.
- at 5:30, she Forced me to walk over to my TV chair, and flicked on ten's sports tonight, read out by rob canning. at 6pm, she flipped channels to 7.news was read out by sharyn ghidella, sports by pat welsh, and weather by talitha cummins.
-we watched some swimming until 6:45pm. susan handed me my stick and Forced me to walk to the loo. she also forced me to dak myself.
-i actually did a stinky unspeakable, and wiped myself too.
-susan came back; we pulled my daks up together, then she Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand. after helping me dry it, she Forced me to walk back to my seat.
-she left promptly at 7pm. happy bday to her bro, who's 27-29 today! she'll be back toms, so i must remember to ask her where they went to celebrate.
-dinner for me was congee, a bit of yummy pork flos, and a piece of carrot and potato both. washed down with a yummy, if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down pear juice.
-PIG mum gleefully made (GO! to thursday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to pop online. she's eagerly waiting to boot me off to bed, so i guess i had better say goodnite and end here. dear dad's gone to watch soccer at uncle tyrone's - i hope he has fun! i'll be fast asleep when he returns home. :Pactually, i'm feeling quite sad - toms will be our final, LAST service at our old church!i've been attending it for like 18+ years! well, i'll try to say bye to both toilets :P and ask PIG mum if she can drive me up to the morning tea area. if someone could grab me a chair, i could enjoy one last bikkie and one last cup of cordial. there's no bible study coz there'll be an AGM toms. hope to see yous all at church toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

good evening!
my thanks goes out to PIG mum, who, however grudingly, allowed me to pop back online to type out my bday wishlist! so, what i want for my 22th :P birthday:
-a new teddy! em loves teddies. :)
-some more glow in the dark stars for my room - sorry, kwany, i dunno which op shop you got my packet for xmas from, but they DO NOT work. :P
-the game wii music! or any wii game, really.
-a new novel. my favourite authors are raymond e. feist and janny wurts, but really, i'll read any fantasy novel that you recommend!
-righteo, so be nice, santa! or whoever it is in charge of giving out bday presents. :P
anyways, here's what happened this arvo:
-karen Forced me to walk in to the laundry. a nice hot shower followed - hairwash today. karen kindly left the water on for a minute or so afterwards, so i could have a tinkle, then i got dried and redressed.
-karen handed me my stick, and Forced me to walk out to my kitchen armchair.
-arvo tea: a toasted cheese sandwhich. too bad, it was only with one slice, so it was ENTIRELY too thin, but oh well.karen and i both had a cup of tea as well, with 2 teaspoonfuls of honey.
-i read for awhile and karen gave me a left hand massage. she'll be having the crackers PIG mum bought for her for dinner tonight, while jamie's going to be having bangers and mash. hmm ... i've never tried bangers and mash before ... wonder if they're nice?
-i beat karen 3-1 at uno, b4 she Forced me to walk over to practice piano for half an hour or so. my right hand played every major, minor and melodic minor scale, and some christmas carols, while my left hand played twinkle twinkle 4 or 5 times.
-at 6pm, karen Forced me to walk back to my armchair, and flicked 7's news on, read out by rod young and kay mcgrath, sport by pat welsh, and weather by john schluter. i forgot what temperature we're going to be toms, but there'll be some rain.
-when karen left - she'll be back next thursday - she forgot her crackers! :P so i yelled out to PIG mum, who yelled out to karen, who came back for them. :P
-well, i've been given a 60sec deadline, so i'll end now and see you all toms! hmm ... hospital checkup toms; hope it goes well! thenlunch with monica, yippee! and finally, dinner with mr. and mrs. dent! can't wait!
righteo, em signing out as a 21-year old for the last time!

thursday post
hello all!
sorry about the long absence; i somehow managed to fail the PERFECT standards that PIG mum had set for me. but oh well. anyways, i haven't reset my pedometer, so i plodded 5155.3 steps recurring today and for the past three days :P
guess i'm gonna have to change my day where i type everything out once from a tuesday to a thursday, as we..:
-whenever i had to walk, i used to type that i was FORCED. when PIG mum barred me from using capitals, i used Forced until she banned that word entirely. so i switched to contort until PIG mum banned that as well, restricting me only to the word made. so i used MADE until she demanded that they all be in lowercase. *sigh* well, what other choice do i have then but to comply?
and the other thing, regarding last night:
1.PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the benchtop to drink my half-glass of milk b4 i went to bed.
2. PIG mum glefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)me walk to the bathroom.
3. i was forced to stand to brush my teeth, and because my right hand took the first initial pre-brush rinse, PIG mum forced my left hand to rinse with my right hand 4x to make up for it afterwards.
4. after flossing, mouthwashing (is that really a word? :P)and washing both hands, PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to dry both my hands.
5. PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the toilet.
6. PIG mum forced me to dak myself for a long tinkle.
7. after i stood back up, PIG mum forced me to pull my own trousers back up.
8. PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand.
9. PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to bed.
10. still no pull-up pants. argh. >< thankfully, it's been a dry month so far!
11. one last thing - i only dare to sleep on my back now, ever since PIG mum spitefully refused to lock the showerchair in place for me so i wouldn't fall to my death at night, like how i nearly did once. >< she whinges coz unlocking 4 little brakes for her is too hard on her poor back. and since she's forbidden me from sleeping on my left hand side coz she says my ankle needs a break, and it's obviously too hard to roll and sleep on my tummy coz of the limited bed space, and i'm too scared to roll out to sleep on my right side, i guess now i've been restricted to just sleeping on my back. oh well. righteo, i've got 8 mins to run through all my spotty :P points for today b4 karen gets here!
-em was proud that she managed to take herself to use the pot this morning without killing herself. ^^"
-happily i snored almost half the day away, until PIG mum woke me up. i got kitted, then wanted to do a stinky unspeakable, so much thanks to PIG mum who plopped me into the showerchair, wheeled me in, and handed me a glass of water.
-thanks also to PIG mum who helped me wipe afterwards.
-PIG mum then gleefully made (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the gobbling table. :P brunch was a yummy bowl of the fried rice PIG mum had whipped up for me when ping had come yesterday.
-ding dong! some OT from UQ, judy or jodie it was, and PIG mum gleefully dragged (please refer to the beginning of this post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me all around the house b4 i got to sit down.
-judy/jodie left, and PIG mum let me pop online for awhile as jo from CODA, then karen came!
-karen gave me a bday card and bday present too! all these pretty little purple ornamental swans. thanks, karen. :)
-well, should be showertime soon, guess that means i'll be owed TWO showers in the showerchair with the wheels, cz PIG mum is once more refusing me a shower in each one on alternating days.
anyways, i hope everyone has a great weekend, and when i post toms, i'll be 22! gosh, i feel old. :P
cheers,
em. ^^

good evening, all!
em plodded 6130 steps today, 220 of that was done during hydro. about last night, first:
-repeat everything that i typed out on tuesday. all still the same. ><
-sorry, am being summoned to dinner now, so i'll bbl, alright? time is now ... 7:15pm
-hello again! time is now 7:44pm, and against the backdrop of a storm, here come the spotty points :P for today!
-em and tonie snored until 9am this morning. PIG mum dug em up. breakfast was a full glass of water, a glass of milk, half a cracker, then another half glass of milk.
-PIG mum gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><)em walk to the car, where off she tootled us off to UQ, listening to that dreadful, nasally, wannabe singer, andy hui :P
-PIG mum gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><)me walk in. i took a seat, PIG mum handed me a brouchure or two to browse, then went to repark the car.
-PIG mum came back. i told her that i wanted to use the bathroom, so that's where she gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk to. after a long tinkle, PIG mum gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk over to wash and dry both hands, b4 she gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk into the treatment area.
-tilt table first. horrible physios, yanking my poor limbs off. >< :P followed by some left arm exercises, then some right arm reachy ones.
-turns out jennifer - the student - her bday's on the 27th of march! she'll be 23 or 24 this year.
-stephanie had told PIG mum about a coffee club she could go to, so PIG mum enjoyed a hot chocolate as my session ended with a long walk with the wheelie walker. hey, stephanie (i asked her today of the spelling) said that when i walked better, we'd walk over to the cafe and she'd buy me a hot chocolate! cool! i think i have to buy jennifer a coffee, though. oh well. :p
-PIG mum tootled us home, snapping a NO to my request again if we could please go to green tea house for lunch. so we listened to westlife's coast to coast on the way home. funny ... i like to keep the volume on 10 as we go, but PIG mum has loudly complained that her poor ears can only take an 8. strange - i checked when we got home, the volume was at 13?
-PIG mum gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk in. i tried ringing dear dad, but he was too busy to answer. :(
-lunch was a yummy toasted tuna in tomato and onion sandwhich, cut into two rectangles, and a plain glass of milk.
-PIG mum decided bed for me, meaning that i had no choice but to comply.
-so she gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk back to bed.
-whoops, my bad. i didn't notice till after i was in bed that i needed to pee! >< meaning PIG mum put my socks, splint and shoes back on again, gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk to the loo, and forced me to yank my own daks down. after i stood up, she forced me to pull my own pants back up, gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, and gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk back to bed.
-so i sang and counted myself into a brief nap, until amanda arrived.
-i went once more in the pot, got kitted in swimming gear, then PIG mum gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk to amanda's 2007 model holden barina, 'barry'.
-amanda tootled us off to hydro, listening to her kings of leon CD. they're not quite bad, really!
-amandaForced me to walk in, and hydro started with judith today, after she strapped up my silly left ankle with sports tape and fiximul.
-hydro: squatting, left arm work, walking forwards and sideways, plus my favourite - TWO head dunks in the end! :p
-i chose to walk out of the pool, and amanda took me in for a nice hot shower - obviously, hairwash today. and apart from 2 pimples on my chin (not QUITE the size of the grand canyon, says amanda :P), i'm all clear.
-i went for a tinkle afterwards, and ended up doing a stinky unspeakable, so much thanks to amanda who helped me to wipe.
-i got redressed, then much thanks to judith who told us that we could take the fire exit. yeah, shortcut!
-amanda tootled us back home, still listening to kings of leon. she's going to fasta pasta for dinner tonight, for some ravioli marinara (sp?)
- i read for a few mins, then he rang back! :) he told me that he was having lunch with uncle calvin at yum cha. yuk. :P
-PIG mum met us at the door, and gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk back to the gobbling table.
-arvo tea (at almost 6pm, lol:P) was a yummy sausage bun with a cup of rice green tea. that was either with a teaspoon and a half oor 2 teaspoons of honey (depending if PIG mum had given me 1/2 or 1 teaspoon to begin with).
-PIG mum gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk over to my TV seat for 7's news at 6pm. first though, we watched some woman win like $43000 on deal or no deal!
-7's news was read out by kay mcgrath and rod young, sport by shane webcke and weather by john schluter or talitha cummins. still no good weather for brisbane toms. my poor bear bear, will he be dry in time for my bday? ><
-PIG mum kindly fed me a single cracker, then we watched today tonight till 6:45pm.
-amanda Forced me to walk to the loo, Forced me to walk over and wash/dry my right hand, and Forced me to walk back to the computer chair.
-she got to rock off 10mins early, and will be back toms.
-dear dad came home to call dinner; PIG mum gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk over to the gobbling table.
-dinner tonight: rice, some yummy pork courtesy of aunty anne (i wonder why she doesn't eat any?), some tomato, carrots, and potato. washed down tonight with just a glass of water.

em plodded 6130 steps today, 220 of that was done during hydro. about last night, first:
-repeat everything that i typed out on tuesday. all still the same. ><
-sorry, am being summoned to dinner now, so i'll bbl, alright? time is now ... 7:15pm
-hello again! time is now 7:44pm, and against the backdrop of a storm, here come the spotty points :P for today!
-em and tonie snored until 9am this morning. PIG mum dug em up. breakfast was a full glass of water, a glass of milk, half a cracker, then another half glass of milk.
-PIG mum gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><)em walk to the car, where off she tootled us off to UQ, listening to that dreadful, nasally, wannabe singer, andy hui :P
-PIG mum gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><)me walk in. i took a seat, PIG mum handed me a brouchure or two to browse, then went to repark the car.
-PIG mum came back. i told her that i wanted to use the bathroom, so that's where she gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk to. after a long tinkle, PIG mum gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk over to wash and dry both hands, b4 she gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk into the treatment area.
-tilt table first. horrible physios, yanking my poor limbs off. >< :P followed by some left arm exercises, then some right arm reachy ones.
-turns out jennifer - the student - her bday's on the 27th of march! she'll be 23 or 24 this year.
-stephanie had told PIG mum about a coffee club she could go to, so PIG mum enjoyed a hot chocolate as my session ended with a long walk with the wheelie walker. hey, stephanie (i asked her today of the spelling) said that when i walked better, we'd walk over to the cafe and she'd buy me a hot chocolate! cool! i think i have to buy jennifer a coffee, though. oh well. :p
-PIG mum tootled us home, snapping a NO to my request again if we could please go to green tea house for lunch. so we listened to westlife's coast to coast on the way home. funny ... i like to keep the volume on 10 as we go, but PIG mum has loudly complained that her poor ears can only take an 8. strange - i checked when we got home, the volume was at 13?
-PIG mum gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk in. i tried ringing dear dad, but he was too busy to answer. :(
-lunch was a yummy toasted tuna in tomato and onion sandwhich, cut into two rectangles, and a plain glass of milk.
-PIG mum decided bed for me, meaning that i had no choice but to comply.
-so she gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk back to bed.
-whoops, my bad. i didn't notice till after i was in bed that i needed to pee! >< meaning PIG mum put my socks, splint and shoes back on again, gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk to the loo, and forced me to yank my own daks down. after i stood up, she forced me to pull my own pants back up, gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, and gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk back to bed.
-so i sang and counted myself into a brief nap, until amanda arrived.
-i went once more in the pot, got kitted in swimming gear, then PIG mum gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk to amanda's 2007 model holden barina, 'barry'.
-amanda tootled us off to hydro, listening to her kings of leon CD. they're not quite bad, really!
-amandaForced me to walk in, and hydro started with judith today, after she strapped up my silly left ankle with sports tape and fiximul.
-hydro: squatting, left arm work, walking forwards and sideways, plus my favourite - TWO head dunks in the end! :p
-i chose to walk out of the pool, and amanda took me in for a nice hot shower - obviously, hairwash today. and apart from 2 pimples on my chin (not QUITE the size of the grand canyon, says amanda :P), i'm all clear.
-i went for a tinkle afterwards, and ended up doing a stinky unspeakable, so much thanks to amanda who helped me to wipe.
-i got redressed, then much thanks to judith who told us that we could take the fire exit. yeah, shortcut!
-amanda tootled us back home, still listening to kings of leon. she's going to fasta pasta for dinner tonight, for some ravioli marinara (sp?)
- i read for a few mins, then he rang back! :) he told me that he was having lunch with uncle calvin at yum cha. yuk. :P
-PIG mum met us at the door, and gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk back to the gobbling table.
-arvo tea (at almost 6pm, lol:P) was a yummy sausage bun with a cup of rice green tea. that was either with a teaspoon and a half oor 2 teaspoons of honey (depending if PIG mum had given me 1/2 or 1 teaspoon to begin with).
-PIG mum gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk over to my TV seat for 7's news at 6pm. first though, we watched some woman win like $43000 on deal or no deal!
-7's news was read out by kay mcgrath and rod young, sport by shane webcke and weather by john schluter or talitha cummins. still no good weather for brisbane toms. my poor bear bear, will he be dry in time for my bday? ><
-PIG mum kindly fed me a single cracker, then we watched today tonight till 6:45pm.
-amanda Forced me to walk to the loo, Forced me to walk over and wash/dry my right hand, and Forced me to walk back to the computer chair.
-she got to rock off 10mins early, and will be back toms.
-dear dad came home to call dinner; PIG mum gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk over to the gobbling table.
-dinner tonight: rice, some yummy pork courtesy of aunty anne (i wonder why she doesn't eat any?), some tomato, carrots, and potato. washed down tonight with just a glass of water.
-PIG mum gleefully made (GO! see tuesday's post to see what i really want to write, but have been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum ><) me walk back to the computer.
-phew! i finished! anyways, i hope physio goes well toms - even more, i hope dear habib comes with morning tea! last week was helen, and the week b4 karen the teabag. then, we've got a lunch date with lee and mrs. stuart at sunnybank oriental; hope that goes well too! i promise to stay civil if he does! finally, i think i've got some new carer toms ... evelyn? hope she won't eat me! :P

saturday post
good evening! em was made (please refer to the beginning of tuesday's post to read what i really want to type, but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum.><) to plod 3738 steps today. and, concerning last night:
-repeat whatever i typed out on tuesday. still just the same. >< oh, with 2 exceptions:
-for some reason, PIG mum only forced my left hand to rinse 3x with my right hand for theafter-brush rinses. usually, she insists on me doing it 4x, to 'make up' for it. i dunno ... maybe it was coz i'd already rinsed half the cup, as PIG mum demands?
-PIG mum also took pity on me and helped me to pull my pants back up after a tinkle.
righteo, let's start with the spotty points for last night!
-at first, leanne was going to put sparkless in the boot of their 4WD; upon learning that it wouldn't fit, PIG mum stepped up to the challenge, driving leanne and i down to outback australia.
-i was honestly immensely grateful and surprised when PIG mum unloaded sparkless from the boot when we arrived! so i wheeled myself in.
- we got these hats and then went to take photos! PIG mum said if i agreed to get out and walk up for the photos, she'd buy me one. so of course i said yes. haha to smelly, who accused me of using her to bear my weight as i hobbled back out to my chair. well, what can i say? guilty as charged. :p
-PIG mum excuse me from wheeling myself in as it was getting a bit crowded. but, she did happily make (please refer to the beginning of tuesday's post to read what i really want to type, but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum.><) me walk up a step or two so i could take a front row seat. huh, not bad!
-leanne got me back for the piano battery incident; she told me that she'd ordered me a vegetarian meal, and i believed her! :P ><"
-the lights dimmed, and the show started!
-it was AWESOME. the actors, the horses, the dogs, the cows, and yes. there even were camels! :p
-dinner arrived partway through. thanks to PIG mum who helped me to cut it up. of course, i ate all my carrots and broccoli first, then started on my beef. yummy rib eye fillet, nice and soft and juicy. desert was yummy pavlova, with a dash of strawberry jam. i traded my cream to PIG mum for half a spoonful of her pavlova. i drank lemonade throughout. there was coke and alcohol available too.
-PIG mum kindly bought me a program for $10 and she also bought me the photos she'd promised if i walked to take the photo! very spiffy~
-once the show ended, a staff member brought my sparkless back to me, and PIG mum gleefully made me walk back out to it. i then wheeled myself to the loo, us saying thankyous to the staff watching us leave.
-i wheeled myself to wash and dry both hands, as PIG mum used the amenities herself.
-i wheeled myself back out to our car. i saidmy byes and thanks to leanne, and asked lee (leanne's cousin if i could swap email addresses with him. and how cool is this - he rememberes that i call leanne 'smelly'! lol, needless to say, she was. not. amused. :p
-PIG mum tootled us home, still listening to jacky cheung. i rang dear dad to let him know that we were coming home.

-dinner arrived partway through. thanks to PIG mum who helped me to cut it up. of course, i ate all my carrots and broccoli first, then started on my beef. yummy rib eye fillet, nice and soft and juicy. desert was yummy pavlova, with a dash of strawberry jam. i traded my cream to PIG mum for half a spoonful of her pavlova. i drank lemonade throughout. there was coke and alcohol available too.
-PIG mum kindly bought me a program for $10 and she also bought me the photos she'd promised if i walked to take the photo! very spiffy~
-once the show ended, a staff member brought my sparkless back to me, and PIG mum gleefully made me walk back out to it. i then wheeled myself to the loo, us saying thankyous to the staff watching us leave.
-i wheeled myself to wash and dry both hands, as PIG mum used the amenities herself.
-i wheeled myself back out to our car. i saidmy byes and thanks to leanne, and asked lee (leanne's cousin if i could swap email addresses with him. and how cool is this - he rememberes that i call leanne 'smelly'! lol, needless to say, she was. not. amused. :p
-PIG mum tootled us home, still listening to jacky cheung. i rang dear dad to let him know that we were coming home.
-PIG mum gleefully made good evening! em was made (please refer to the beginning of tuesday's post to read what i really want to type, but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum.><) to plod 3738 steps today. and, concerning last night:
-repeat whatever i typed out on tuesday. still just the same. >< oh, with 2 exceptions:
-for some reason, PIG mum only forced my left hand to rinse 3x with my right hand for theafter-brush rinses. usually, she insists on me doing it 4x, to 'make up' for it. i dunno ... maybe it was coz i'd already rinsed half the cup, as PIG mum demands?
-PIG mum also took pity on me and helped me to pull my pants back up after a tinkle.
righteo, let's start with the spotty points for last night!
-at first, leanne was going to put sparkless in the boot of their 4WD; upon learning that it wouldn't fit, PIG mum stepped up to the challenge, driving leanne and i down to outback australia.
-i was honestly immensely grateful and surprised when PIG mum unloaded sparkless from the boot when we arrived! so i wheeled myself in.
- we got these hats and then went to take photos! PIG mum said if i agreed to get out and walk up for the photos, she'd buy me one. so of course i said yes. haha to smelly, who accused me of using her to bear my weight as i hobbled back out to my chair. well, what can i say? guilty as charged. :p
-PIG mum excuse me from wheeling myself in as it was getting a bit crowded. but, she did happily make (please refer to the beginning of tuesday's post to read what i really want to type, but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum.><) me walk up a step or two so i could take a front row seat. huh, not bad!
-leanne got me back for the piano battery incident; she told me that she'd ordered me a vegetarian meal, and i believed her! :P ><"
-the lights dimmed, and the show started!
-it was AWESOME. the actors, the horses, the dogs, the cows, and yes. there even were camels! :p

-em got dug up, kitted, then PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the top of tuesday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the computer.
-i tootled online briefly, until mrs. dent arrived. PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the top of tuesday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car. mrs dent piled in, and off PIG mum tootled us off to garbo, listening to that low-class, nasally singer, andy hui.
- PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the top of tuesday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum. ><) me walk into theshopping centre. we caught the lift up, then i plonked my weary butt onto a seat as mrs dent went to buy me some lunch.

thursday post
good evening! today, em was made (please refer to the top of tuesday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum. ><) to plod 1074 steps today. ok, regarding last night:
-repeat everything that i typed out on tuesday. still the same. >< righteo, here come the spotty points:P for today!
-em had a headache last night ><. so thanks to PIG mum who popped me 2 panadol, and tonie who rubbed my tummy for me. he says, apparently, that it makes your headache go away. :p
-em had to get up mega-early this morning - OT at UQ at 9! (or 9:30, i can't remember. ^^")
-PIG mum got me kitted, thanks to dear dad for a glass of milk in my favourite PIG mum cup. :P( i don't remember, but PIG mum tells me that i bought it for her with fi so bao at granny may's, or sth like that.)
-pig mum gleefully made (please refer to the top of tuesday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car, and off she tootled us to UQ, listening to that dreadful, nasal, andy hui :p even worse, she says that he's holding a concert in december! huh, talk about a DISINCENTIVE NOT to go back to HK.. :P
-traffic was our usual, horrible, peak hour traffic. but we made it there on time!
-PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the top of tuesday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum. ><) me walk in. i told the receptionist lady that i needed the bathroom, so much thanks to her who got me a wheelchair then showed PIG mum and i where the loo was.
-i wheeled myself over to wash and dry both hands as PIG mum used the loo herself.
-we met 2 ladies at the OT clinic, jodie (the teacher) and lee (the student).
-they asked me about me, and did some sort of routine assessment. mum showed them my hated, ouchy splint, and i explained to them that i wasn't smart enough to yank all my fingers out at night! yeah, as explained to me, i guess my fingers just involuntarily spasm. but i can't feel it, i wonder why ... strange?
-they made me another appointment, on the 26th ( a fortnight's time) and i went to the loo once more.
-our breakfast/morning tea was yummy sausage buns and a jar of water. don't really know why PIG mum refused to trade bites, but oh well.
-PT time! so we caught the elevator up, then PIG mum quickly snatched the wheelchair away, so i wouldn't get a chance to use it again. i read a triathlom and multi-sports magazine in the meantime. hey, i wonder why they have no gossip magazines?
-we met a nice lady with a fluro (sp?) pink walking stick!i want a blue one, for my bday! please? :P oh, and double congrats to the old lady - it's her bday today! she's turning 82 today! wow. :P
-my turn; stephanie came for me, and she Forced me to walk in.
-i meet the tilt table again! dreadful physios, tearing my poor limbs off. :P
-stephanie told me she was with cassandra stuart, who recognised me! wow...
-b4 i left, stephanie timed how fast i plodded with a wheelie walker (like what lee used to use, when he was in BIRU)and with just my stick. i also went once to the loo, b4 PIG mum tootled us home. i changed the CD back to westlife's unbreakable volume 3, though of course i didn't get to hear as many songs this morning as PIG mum coz it was no longer peak hour traffic.
-PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to the top of tuesday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum. ><) me walk back inside once we got home.
-lunch was 2 yummy battered fish fillets, with only about half as much mayo as i would've liked to get on it. also thanks to PIG mum who mixed me up a chocolate nesquik, although there's apparently none left now. hey, i can always add that to my birthday wishlist! :P
-mum weighted down my left hand and ordered me to read while she went to do a number 2.
-she came back, and gleefully made (please refer to the top of tuesday's post to read what i really want to write, but have been TOO heavily censored by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the computer. i tootled online briefly, checking my email and getting my weekly naruto fix. :p
-karen arrived. she Forced me to walk to the laundry, then gave me a shower - no hairwash today. thanks to her who also left the water on so i could have a tinkle.
-i got dried, redressed, then karen Forced me to walk out to my chair.
-afternoon tea was a cup of bushells australian breakfast sweetened with some honey (i'm not sure if it was 1 or 2 teaspoonfuls; but the tea is naturally sweet, anyway). and a toasted cheese - poo poo, only one slice, so it was ENTIRELY too thin :( but i think amanda's coming toms - fingers crossed for some more luck! i mean, the week's almost finished! ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into 4 squares.
-i read for awhile, b4 karen gave my left arm a massage and made me do 20mins worth of left hand exercises. just theraplaydough :p and the little dumbell today.
-at 5:30, karen Forced me to walk over to the piano, where i practised for half an hour, 15mins on each hand. meaning: twinkle twinkle for my left hand, ever major, minor, melodic minor and chromatic scale for my right hand and some christmas carols.
-at 6pm, karen Forced me to walk back to the TV, where she flicked on 7's news. read out by rod young and kay cgrath, sport by pat welsh ( i think?) and weather by john schluter or talitha cummins.
-after the news, karen Forced me to walk to the loo. i dunno - she says she'll pull down one side of my daks, and i do the other? same goes with back up, too. but i appreciate any help, i can get, really. not like PIG mum, who just enjoys forcing me to do that.
-karen then Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - butthanks to her for drying it for me - and Forced me to walk back to the computer table.
-i waited for PIG mum to please turn on the computer on for me, so i could keep accessing the net, but for some unbeknownst reason, she spitefully chose not to.
-karen Forced me to walk over to the gobbling table to sign her off; i gave her a sad face :( instead of a happy :) one.
-karen left precisely at 7pm, she'll be back next thursday.
-dear dad came home. dinner tonight was 4 or 5 boiled dumplings made for us by aunty june. i had to beg PIG mum b4 she grudgingly gave me half a drop of soya sauce. dinner was washed down with a yummy, if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down cup of pear juice, provided to me by dear dad.
-PIG mum gleefully made me walk back to the computer.
-PIG mum is booting me off lin now. i've no idea if i've been on for my OWED 3 hrs, oh well. but i'm looking forward to toms! lunch with mrs dent then outback australia with leanne and her family toms night! can't wait!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i did find one mistake in this post, but PIG mum is refusing me permission to correct it. oh wel. goodnite, all! ^^
