ANZAC day post 2

good evening! my final plodding total for today officially stands at 1525.anyways, what happened after karen came ...
she stuck my walkbelt on me, and Forced me to walk into the laundry for a shower. no hairwash today, and good to hear that i'm only a little spotty on my chin. i had a tinkle before karen flipped the water off. then i got dried and had nivea creme slathered all over me before i got redressed and karen Forced me to walk back out to the dining hall. i read for awhile as she prepared my arvo tea; a toasted cheese - thanks karen! 2 slices! - ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into 4 triangles, and a cup of tea sweetened with 2 teaspoonfuls of honey. i read for awhile, karen gave my left hand and arm a massage, then at 5;30 she Forced me to walk over to the piano and practise for half an hour. my right hand played every major, minor, melodic minor and chromatic scale plus all the christmas carols that i could remember, then my right hand supported my left hand in thunking out twinkle twinkle 3 or 4 times. at 6pm, karen Forced me to walk back to the gobbling table, and fed me half a glass of milk plus one of my easter eggs - this one oozed some yummy caramel! oh, and a NOT HAPPY, JAN! to whichever one of the support workers from whichever agency that decided that i shouldn't be allowed to watch the 6pm news anymoe, because that little half hour means i am not interacting with my carer. well, just for the record, i am! like, i'll mention if the person speaking has a funny name, or if the story being covered provokes some thoughts. anyways *sigh* i guess i'll just have to get my news from news.com.au from now on. i then trounced karen 3 games to none at uno, before at 6;45pm, she Forced me to walk to the loo, Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but kindly helped me dry it - and Forced me to walk back to the gobbling table. i signed her off and said my thanks and byes at 7pm; she'll be back next thursday. i hope she remembers her promise to bring me a courier mail! to make up for the fact that i'm not llowed to watch the 6pm news anymore :( she's got friends over for tea tonight, and will be having a lamb roast. anyways, dinner was soon called; rice tonight, with lotsa bok choy, some beef, and some 'barra-barra-barra-mundi?':P (as called by PIG mum). washed down with a cup of some yummy, if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down juice. i mean, i understand that my mum waters down my pear juice (actually, i don't. WHY does she do that? ><) then PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the computer desk, and ripped my socks, splint and shoes off.
anyways, i'm glad i finished! i'll just go stick this in my taleofepic2 blog then cram in a few news articles if i have the time, ok? hope to see everyone at church toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
