tuesday post

good afternoon! TWFT topic is 'recovering from loss', and no plodding total from em coz she's lost her pedometer! >< anyways, my copy and paste function still hates me, and since it's the beginning of the month, i thought i'd just take the opportunity to type everything out once in full:
-whenever i had to walk, i'd type that PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to. when she banned me from using all capitals, i used Forced until she decided that this whole word somehow offended her, and banned it entirely. so i switched to the word contort, only it wasn't long until she caught onto that also, and banned it as well, saying henceforth, i could only use the word made. so i complied again and used MADE, until she stepped in and demanded that the ENTIRE word be in lowercase. again, i had no choice but to comply, only i typed that PIG mum gleefully made me walk. that was until charlsy left me a comment on this blog, saying that i could only write made without any words before or after it. dunno why i listen to him really, after all, it's MY blog, but i guess i do coz i have heaps and heaps of respect for him as a friend. and, regarding last night;
1. PIG mum made !(whenever you see an exclamation mark (!) after the word made, it means:"PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><") me walk to the fridge to get my milk out. and woe and behold if i ever dare to hold the carton 'incorrectly'!
2. PIG mum made ! me walk back to the kitchen benchtop. there, she gleefully forced poor ela to hold onto the carton, then ordered era to uncap the milk (and would you know, there's a 'correct' and 'incorrect' way to do that too! after that, she ordered era to hang onto the cup and forced poor ela to pour out the milk. also, when i drank the milk, i had to be very careful to hold the cup 'correctly', and also not to lean against the benchtop to drink.
3. PIG mum made ! me walk back to the bathroom for my nightly routine.
4. PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to hang onto the toothbrush then ordered era to squirt the toothpaste out. she wouldn't let me do it the way i did EVEN BEFORE GOD SMOTE/SMITED ME DOWN WITH A BRAIN TUMOUR, i.e. balance the toothbrush on the cup and squirt the toothpaste out like that. also note that it is somehow a HUGE UNFORGIVEABLE SIN to lean against the basin and rest your tired self while you are brushing your teeth.
5. PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to do the three after-brush rinses with era.
6. after flossing and washing both hands, PIG mum made ! me walk over and dry them.
7. PIG mum made ! me walk over to dry both hands.
8. PIG mum made ! me walk over to the toilet.
9. PIG mum gleefully forced me to dak myself. i sat down for two tinkles.
10. after i stood back up, PIG mum gleefully forced me to pull my own trousers back up.
11. PIG mum made ! me walk over to flush the toilet. i clung to the towel rack, sidestepped over to wash and dry era.
12. PIG mum made ! me walk back to bed. remember, she won't allow me to walk inside, grasp the bar the guy from home mods installed in my bedroom for THAT SPECIFIC PURPOSE; no, she somehow derives FAR GREATER PLEASURE in forcing me to walk to the bed, turn, then bend awkwardly before i can sit down, with a thankful sigh that i have somehow, struggled and endured to survive through another day.
13. no pull-up pants. argh. ><
-anyways, if i don't mention any of this until a fortnight from now, it just means that EVERY NIGHT, the same things happened. no difference. ><
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-firstly, go em! who managed to swing herself over to use the pot :P once last night without plummeting to her death. :P
-when dearest dad got up for work this morning, em swung herself around to use the pot :p once more. dad took off that bloody annoying splint, bear bear again kindly offered to hold hands with ela and go back to sleep together, but ela said no thanks. mon, wed, fri and sun she'll hold hands/paws with bear bear, tues, thurs and sat she'll tuck back in for some more sleep, same as era holding onto the headrail.
-when PIG mum dug me up a couple of hours later, i swung myself around to use the pot :P once more, but then felt like doing a stinky unspeakable, so much thanks to PIG mum who rolled me to the bathroom, handed me a mug of water to drink - which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', of course - and helped me wipe afterwards. i washed and dried both hands, went for one more tinkle, and was rolled back into my room and kitted for today.
-PIG mum made ! me walk to the gobbling :P table for breakfast.
-two yummy weetbix, with half a dab of honey. i took one sip from the required glass of water first.
-PIG mum made ! me walk out to the car. she forced me to buckle my own seatbelt (sth she gleefully forced poor em to do all day), then tootled us off to the princess alexandra for physio, listening to my car CD (what we listened to all day).
-PIG mum parked, made ! me walk inside to the toilet. no guesses as to who forced who to do the dakking and un-dakking, of course. then she made ! me walk over to wash and dry both hands, before she made ! me walk into the day hospital. linelle directed me over to a plinth.
-habib wandered over! so i gave him a big hug, said goodbye, and told him that we were sometimes at luigi's for brunch wednesday mornings, if he was ever free to join us.
-there, she sat and did paperwork while i practised thirty sit-to-stands. afterwards, she got me to lie down on my tummy and practise swing erl and ell up to tuch my bumcheeks fifty times. funny thing was that while erl kicked up to the right bumcheek, so did ell! when i asked linelle why ell couldn't swing up and touch my left bumcheek, she replied, "don't worry. the fact that it can swing up to touch any bumcheek at all is a good thing."
-linelle Forced me to walk over to the BIRU gym. thanks to some physio asisstant who dragged me up an armchair to sit on. troy, maybe?
-janelle came! so i gave her a hug too, handed her my card and xmas chocolates, explained the reason for my 'wintermelon peel'. :p
-i asked PIG mum to please go see if orli was at work, but he wasn't. :(
-but as i was walking out, i saw helen! she still remembers my sugar escapades, BTW. :p
-so she let us out. as PIG mum was making ! me walk back out to the car, i told her that mrs. smiley (aka alison) had been over to say hello, and had planned to wander back around to say bye, but i guess she had better/more important things to do then see PIG mum.
-PIG mum tootled us off to plaza to have lunch with CC!
-argh, i've written before, how much it PISSES me off, like today, how not just one carpark was available, but TWO, and PIG mum simply refuses to even TRY to park in them. "coz i'm a crap driver." was her explanation. sheesh! i mean, fair enough, perhaps a pig can drive more competently than you can :P, but seeing as how i try my absolute hardest to get through the day, doing everything for you (bar my precious internet time), would it really KILL you just to TRY and park there? to save me a LITTLE less difficulty in my struggles to get to lunch?
-but we sat down. both the asian and western meals weren't tomy liking, so i browsed through the menu to see what i could have for lunch. i mean, i was hungry after hard work during physio! but trust mean PIG mum to refuse not one, not two, but THREE different lunch choices before she finally allowed me a hokkien fried rice. her reason for denying me my first three choices? "that's too big for you." actually, i beg to differ, but again, that's another thing for her. i'll survive.
-so i ordered that and a cold milk tea, CC ordered a mongolian lamb (i explained to her my 'sheepy' story :P) and PIG mum got the asian meal, some meat thing with a yucky sauce? lol, i can't really remember, sorry. :p i gave PIG mum all my prawns plus a chunk of diced vegie, thanks to PIG mum who sliced me a wee portion of her yummy fried egg.
-we yakked away. did you know, CC's left-handed! and next year, she'll be down in NSW working on all the optus ads. lol, i told her i'd facebook her whenever i saw one on television. :P also, CC wears contacts. so i told her about my behavioural optom lenses, and also me punching out vincent the physio. :p
-PIG mum shouted CC lunch. CC says we can find her for lunch once more come the new year before she goes down to NSW!
-PIG mum made ! me walk back down to the car, and tootled us home.
-she made ! me walk to the bathroom, also forcing me to dak myself. but thanks to her who passed me a mug of water - which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', of course - and i did a stinky unspeakable, wiping myself too.
-PIG mum came back, forcing me to un-dak myself. then she made ! me walk over to wash and dry both hands, made ! me walk over to the computer switch and gleefully forced me to bend awkwardly to flick it on, then made ! me walk back to the computer.
-almost forgot: when we were at cafe mi, waiting for CC, i rang dearest dad. :) he said he was at mcwhirters (sp?)
-well, tonight lisa's taking me out bowling! hopefully, we can have a yummy chicken wrap from red roosters or maccas for dinner, and could i PLEASE have some chips? i mean, it's my THIRD week of asking!
-toms: off to the behavioural optom's. must remember not to have a big up and go for breakfast, lest i need the bathroom again (like last week. ><") then, hopefully we can go to maccas/hungry jacks for some yummy second breakfast :P and fingers are crossed for one yummy hash brown (for whatever so reason that pleases her, PIG mum finds some perverse pleasure in only restricting me to half a hash brown) but hopes aren't really up. then it's a torture session with vincent the bloody physio. >< i wish he'd hurry up and remove himself back to hong kong! and decide to live there for the rest of his life! :p dunno if we can stop at luigi's for third breakfast :P afterwards, but hopefully while i'm being tortured by vincent the physio PIG mum'll kindly grab me some sushi for lunch. aunty wendy's coming at 11am? midday? and so's daniel wan! and chrissy, too, in the arvo. hopefully, on time! :P finally, i hope PIG mum will buy me a new pedometer tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 3 errors in my post this afternoon.
P.P.S. oh, it's the 1st december! here's what i want for christmas this year, santa!
-a fun pack of cereal (you know, a package with little boxes of coco pops, fruit loops, etc.?)
-a pack of glow-in-the-dark stars (sorry, kwany, whichever op shop you got my pack last year from, they like don't. work. :p
-a kit kat cookies and cream! chrissy says her mum sends them over from germany, along with her perfume. hopefully, PIG mum won't need to send a mail order over to germany for one! :p
-a teddy bear. em loves teddy bears. :)
-the mission impossible movies? dad was watching the second one on television last night. tom cruise looks so young! :P
-oh, the first twilight movie!i've finished the first book, am about to start the second.
-two more goldfish, to replace poor silver and bronze, who passed away mid-last year. but i'll see them in heaven someday. :)
-oh, PIG mum says she'll buy me a really BIG present, if i stop asking her for my walking stick. hmm ... the biggest thing i can think of ... i want an i-phone! :p or whatever the google version's called ... the g-phone? :p
-a new novel! my favourite authors are raymond e. feist and janny wurts, but i'd also settle for a novel by david feintuch or learn hearn (sp?)
-i honestly don't ask for too much ... i think. santa, please be nice!

monday post

good evening! i don't think TWFT actually sent me a daily devotion today ... i wonder why? anyways, em's final plodding total for monday now stands at 6759. righteo, what happened after chrissy came?
-she Forced me to walk to the bathroom to get kitted for hydro. i sat over the loo and had three tinkles.
-chrissy Forced me to walk to her car, then tootled us off to hydro.
-again, no carparking available for us. >< so chrissy Forced me to walk into the siderail, where i practised my walking holding onto the bar. actually, i met the same man i did last week!
-i called out a happy hello to doctor sharon. judith came, stuck KAB onto elf, and plopped me into the nice cool water.
-hydro today: walking forwards and sideways, some exercises for ela, lotsa waterball, and not one, not two, but three! of my favourite head dunks at the end! the first two times i managed to plant my bum down to the floor bottom, the third, just the back of my thighs.
-judy let me walk out, and chrissy rolled me in for a nice hot shower - obviously, i washed my hair today. but ell and erl enjoyed getting as much attention as the rest of my body parts today.
-chrissy Forced me to walk out, and she tootled us home, listening to B105 FM.
-chrissy Forced me to walk back inside, where she cut me up a pear for arvo tea. i think i had no choice but to give PIG mum a chunk? no, correction: PIG mum says i offered, but she refused.
-chrissy gave ela a massage. i was being painted dark green with light green spots today. or was it the other way around? the colours were right, anyhow.
-chrissy Forced me to walk to the bathroom to get changed for dinner. i had two tinkles; she left, to be back come wednesday. and happy birfthday to jason, her boyfriend! they'll be celebrating by eating some turkish food somewhere ... bulimba (thanks, PIG mum).
-PIG mum made ! me walk to the car, of course also forcing me to buckle my own seatbelt. dearest dad hopped in too, then tootled us off to our dinner celebrations with mr. hall! dunno why, dad didn't wanna listen to any music; oh well, no biggie. i didn't bother to sing in my bed coz that car trip took like, what? two mins?
-parents gleefully Forced (second time) me to walk in.
-we browsed the menus. PIG mum grew a lil suspicious - why was mr. hall late? coz usually, he's a very punctual man! so she rang him. "sorry... i was ... asleep." lol!
-but he eventually arrived, and we ordered!
-while we were waiting for our food, i passed my birthday card and our christmas card to him. i also confessed that i'd actually googled the quadratic formula; i didn't know it by memory! :p
-0ur food arrived! dearest dad got some lamb chop thing, PIG mum the chicken and avocado salad with prawn, mr. hall had barramundi, and i ordered the chicken ballotine - it was sth i remembered ordering at the mater when i was there for awhile beginning of this year, so i knew it would be yummy. thanks to PIG mum who helped me cut my chicken up; i fed her a sweet potato chip. dad also let me try a bite of his lamb ... eww, gross. :P
-mr. hall and i both ordered tropical cheesecake for dessert (sp?) thanks to PIG mum who took off all the almond pieces that were stuck to my cake. she also had the cream; dad also pinched a slice.
-PIG mum shouted the bday boy dinner (mr. hall's bday is actually on the 25th, if i remember correctly). then the parents made ! me walk back out to the car. i hugged mr. hall goodnite, good bye and happy birthday; he promises to ring us on 27th december, after he's back from his travels - he says he'll try find me a teddy bear from russia! - and arrange a visit down to meet mr. mendelle! i can't wait!
-dad tootled us home. i tried to turn the music back on, seeing as he already had his way for the trip going, but he demanded that i turn it off. oh well. i also let erf sit sideways for this trip, the last of the day.
-PIG mum took me to the loo once more, before she made ! me walk over and gleefully forced me to bend awkwardly to flick on the computer switch, then she made ! me walk back to the computer.
-toms: my last ever session of PA physio! even better, yesterday i emailed janelle and asked if i could come visit and say bye, and she replied yes! lisa'll be taking me out bowling toms evening, too! hopefully, we can stop at maccas or red rooster for a wrap, and can i PLEASE have some chippees? finally, toms we might be having lunch with someone toms! only, it's not confirmed yet.
-lastly, think i'll ask PIG mum for two panadol, please. my head hurts. ><
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 2 errors in my post tonight.

Monday post

good afternoon!no TWFT email has arrived in my inbox yet, and i think i've still got a couple of mins left to me after we come back from dinner with mr. hall tonight to put up my final plodding total for monday. my copy and paste function still hates me :P ><, so toms (being the 1st december) i'll type it all (ie. everything that i used to stick up once every thursday) out once.
righteo, what happened today?
-firstly, go em! who managed to swing herself over to use the pot :P once last night without plummeting to her death. :p
-when dearest dad woke up for work this morning, em swung herself around to use the pot :Ponce more. dad took off that bloody annoying hand splint off, that keeps ela's thumb from tucking in gently at night for eight hours of sleep, same as era gets. ela was going to put her thumb back in, but bear bear kindly offered his paw to hang onto, so ela happily held hands with bear bear as i went back into some heavy-duty snoring. :P
-i swung myself over to use the pot :P once more sometime after dearest dad had left for work, then kept snoring away. :P
-PIG mum came to poke me awake a few hours later. i swung myself around to use the pot :P once more, only felt like doing a stinky unspeakable, so much thanks to PIG mum who rolled me into the bathroom, handed me a mug of water to drink - which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', of course - and helped me wipe afterwards. i got kitted, washed and dried both hands, and went for one more tinkle before PIG mum rolled me back into my room. oh, and today being the last day of november, i chewed short the fingernails on my right hand. the left ones aren't long enough to chew off yet.
-PIG mum made ! (anytime the symbol ! appears after the word 'made', it tells you to PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of last thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast.
-two yummy weet-bix with half a dab of honey.
-thanks to PIG mum who popped me my drugs :P afterwards. one fish oil, one bilberry and one cranberry. i think PIG mum said we're out of garlic tablets, or sth?
-PIG mum made ! me walk out to the car. of course, she forced me to buckle my own seatbelt (sth she's gleefully forced poor em to do all day), then tootled us off to UQ for physio, listening to my car CD (what we listened to all day).
-oh dear, no parking available for us. >< so PIG mum just quickly made ! me walk to the loo, made ! me walk over to wash and dry both hands, and made ! me walk to the waiting area. somehow, she got pissed with how i sat down, and refused to hand me a mag, just flounced off to pay. so much thanks to the elderly gentleman who passed me an issue of woman's weekly.
-abirami and malika came for me. they lent me a walkbelt, then Forced me to walk inside the gym.
-first i lay down on a plinth and they did some sort of sensation test on me. then we did more than twenty sit-to stands.
-PIG mum took me once more to the loo before driving us home, unsurprisingly snapping a no at my polite requests to go to naz for a kebab for lunch.
-but dearest dad was already home when we arrived!
-lunch: rice, lotsa bok choy, a few strips of ... lol, i've forgoten! >< beef, pork, chicken? well, some meat. of course, PIG mum forced poor ela to hang onto the bowl as i ate, oh well.
-sorry, correction:PIG mum popped me my drugs :P after lunch, not after breakfast. again, i was extremely careful to hold the cup 'correctly'.
-PIG mum kindly helped me change the dressings on my hands.
-PIG mum made ! me walk over to the computer switch, gleefully forced me to bend awkwardly down to flick it on, before she made ! me walk back to the computer.
-after writing out an xmas card to mr. hall first, i tootled online. yay, janelle says i can come visit her toms!
-anyways, am going to surf the net now, do other things. chrissy's coming in the arvo, and taking me to bloody hydro. argh. >< but tonight should be fun! dinner at the glen with mr. hall!
cheers,
em. ^^

sunday post

good evening! the spam count for the weekend is 28, TWFT topic is 'stewardship (3) and em was hard at work plodding 7884 steps today. righteo, i didn't get to pop online until 9:43pm; keeping in mind that PIG mum ALREADY owes me some time from a previous day, and that the sky might very possibly well fall in :P before she allows me to stay online till 11:43pm, again, em just promises to note down the time PIG mum forces her off to bed, and she SWEARS, she WILL get back EVERY SINGLE MINUTE that she's owed!
-well, seeing as my copy and paste function still hates me ... what happened today?
-argh. em woke up wet this morning. >< sorry, sorry, sorry! i'd almost made it past this month, too!
-breakfast was half an egg and ham bun and a mug of warm milo. i held this cup 'incorrectly' while the parents were upstairs changing coz i knew i wouldn't get another chance to today.
-church. PIG mum gleefully forced poor em to stand for ALL of worship! ie five, six songs! >< i sang the harmony for one.
-speaker today was steve tranh (PIG mum reckons that surname is vietnamese) and he gave us a sermon on clean and unclean.
-a toilet trip afterwards, then morning tea. thanks to janice (evan's girlfriend, not janice lee) who brought me over a small slice of yummy cake and PIG mum for a plastic cup of water.
-our last bible syudy for this year! a continuation of the topic "god's guidance".
-we shared about what bible study meant for us this year. i shared that i was just grateful to have been able to participate in the whole year's worth of bible study, not just half the year (remember, i was still hospitalised up till the end of may last year). chloe was funnier:" this year, i've learnt to stop speaking." lol!
-off to plaza for lunch. but argh, still no luck for some KFC. i had roughly half the creamed corn soup, half a cold milk tea, almost one bowl of PIG mum's soya sauce chicken and charsiu rice and roughly 2/3 a bowl of the western meal, yummy pork chop and ham in tomato sauce with spaghetti and lotsa diced vegies. i gave a diced green vegie to PIG mum, and the mushrooms from my soup to dad.
-home, stinky unspeakable, bed. i sang both my favourite and second-favourite songs in my head twice, opening my eyes for all the important numbers. i also swung myself around to use the pot :p once.
-but an evil mosquito bit poor era! >< so thanks to PIG mum who came with some stinky ointment (say in canto 'white flower oil') to dab at it.
-shower - i washed my hair today. PIG mum also gleefully forced poor ela to scrub various parts of my body 130+ times.
-i had a tinkle before PIG mum flipped the water off. i dried and rekitted myself. we forgot to cream me again! lol, we are 'bunanas'. :P
-dinner: screw-shaped pasta, lotsa bok choy and some beef. of course, PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to hang onto the bowl as i ate, oh well.
-dinner was washed down with a mug of orange crush fruit and vegie juice, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-the parents gleefully took em on forced laps up and down the hallway, to the television, and back again. i only gained a reprieve when i moaned how much poor elf's ankle hurt.
-toms: UQ physio in the morning (eep, sorry, i've forgotten both their names! sorry! ><>< and chrissy'll come over toms arvo - i wonder how late? :P but she'll get to leave 30mins early, coz we've got a dinner date with mr. hall (lol, but PIG mum has permission to call him 'greg' now! :P) at then glen! i've only had dinner once there before, and i can't remember it anymore, so i wonder what i'll have? prolly some kinda pyjama. :P hope everyone has a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^

saturday post

hmm ... my copy and paste function really hates me. >< i guess i'll just haveta content myself with typing it all out once a month.
anyways, TWFT topic was 'stewardship (2)' and em was hard at work plodding 4247 steps today. righteo, what happened today?
-firstly, go em! who managed to swing herself over to use the pot :P once last night without falling to her death. o_O (actually, i've no idea if it's actually morning or night - if the sky's lightening, i call it morning, but when it's still dark, that's night. :P)
-when PIG mum got up for work, em swung herself around to use the pot :P once more, let poor ela's thumb creep back inside for a few hours respite, cuddled her darling bear bear and sang/counted herself back into some heavy-duty snoring. :P
-when tess arrived, the first thing she did was poke me awake with, "emily, i brought you some fruit to share this morning!" i just ignored her. :p after all, dad had said ten more mins. :P
-i used the pot :P once more. tess got me kitted, then Forced me to walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth. i enjoyed my once a week chance to just balance the toothbrush on the cup and squirt out the toothpaste like that.

-tess came back, Forced me to walk over to wash and dry my right hand, and Forced me to walk out to the gobbling :P table.

-i actually had a second chance to hold my cup 'incorrectly'! thanks to tess who made me half a cup of milo when she was cutting me up some apple and pear.
-then i settled down to read twilight - i finished it! actually, tess demanded i play scrabble with her when i was almost finished the book. i didn't reply, so she chucked a bit of a hissy fit and removed my book, refusing to give it back when i politely asked her. oh well, i scrawled a few random notes into a notebook, then took a powernap, singing the entirety of my second favourite song in my head, opening my eyes for all the important numbers.
-tess took me to the loo once more when dad returned. of course, she ratted out to dad that i had refused to play scrabble with her coz i wanted to read, so dad responded by Forcing me to walk a few laps with him. actually, tess sulked that she was going to tell her boss on me. so what? lol, i'd actually welcome it! her boss could come, and i'd have a chance to tell the situation truthfully! :P
-lunch was two min noodles with lotsa vegies (big bok choy, maybe?) some pork/chicken and a wee chunk of egg. of course, PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to hang onto the bowl while i ate, oh well. lunch was washed down with a mug of plain milk, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', of course.
-vincent the physio arrived for my torture session. ><
-dad invited him to sit down and have some fruit with us. i had some nashi, kiwi and mango. yummy!

-i read my novel until 5:50, when chrissy gave ela a massage. light green, today. PIG mum came down to nag at my posture, amongst other things. but she refused the chunk of pear i offered her.
-another stinky unspeakable after chrissy left. afterwards, PIG mum gleefully forced poor em on 30+ mins of mat and arm work.
-dinner: rice, lotsa big bok choy, lol, i keep forgetting if it was chicken/pork! :P of course, mean PIG mum forced poor ela to hold onto the bowl as i ate; whatever.
-the parents led me on a few more Forced laps along the hallway, before one more loo trip. i finally tootled online.
-but, argh. why does PIG mum find that much pleasure in making my life so miserable for me?! ><><
-church toms. doctor lee says that toms is the last bible study of the year?

ARGH, THE DOWNSIDE TO MY COPY AND PASTE FUNCTION MALFUNCTIONING IS THAT THE BLOG POST I SAVED NO LONGER WORKS! >< sorry, shrieking ... ^^" even worse, i'm supposed to have ONE HOUR and FORTY MINUTES left online, but PIG mum says she's booting me off to bed at 10pm coz she's got work toms. fair enough, but why can't she just leave the modem on and give me lappy toppy? i mean, i'd sit so that even if i sneezed and lappytoppy fell off my lap, it'd not fall to the floor but only lengthways across the bed ... argh, whatever. will be patient and persistent, keep perservering. righteo, today:
-TWFT topic was 'stewardship (1) and em was hard at work plodding 4068 steps today.

-jennie directed me over to a plinth, where i lay down and worked on stretching my left muscles, ie. shoulder.
-thanks to cara for morning tea! i held this cup 'incorrectly' coz PIG mum was having a yak to peter (the old man who fed me a jellybean, once).peter tells me he suffered a stroke, lives at fairfield, and his wife has gone to do the groceries. also, he's building a rocking horse for his grandson! peter attends the NAB clinic, just like me, BTW.
-PIG mum tootled us home. we changed the disc from josh groban to my car CD, BTW.
-a toilet trip when i got home. PIG mum, for whatever so reason that pleased her, refused to hand me the phone to ring dearest dad.(in other words, she wanted to force me to walk over and get it). oh well, he's prolly busy; dad sometimes rings us when he has the time.
-lunch was a yummy toasted tuna in tomato and onion sandwhich, cut into four squares. i drank a cup of plain milk, my second to hold 'incorrectly' coz PIG mum was too busy munching her own lunch.
-sylvia jie jie came to play wii with me! and chrissy's here, so i'll bbl, okies? time is now ... 4:12pm

-arvo tea was a cup of coloured water - my third and last cup i could hold 'incorrectly' and a yummy sausage bun.
-i read my twilight novel, and at 5:40pm asked chrissy to please give ela a massage. as usual, she didn't till 5:45pm. i was being painted white today, with black spots, BTW.
-after chrissy left (but thanks to her who shoved a chair to either side of me so i'd feel safe), PIG mum came downstairs. the first thing she did was remove the chair >< (meaning i clung to the table instead) then gleefully forced poor em on 10+ mins of those exercises daniel wan had left me. so, following his sheet: today, piano playing went for ten mins and scored a 7 out of 10. i played five times each per hand and i felt ... cold! >< dearest dad had turned the air con, see. :p
-a toilet trip first, then off dad tootled us off to dining room for dinner! he didn't wanna listen to anything, so i just sang roughly 40% of my second favourite song in my head.
-dinner: 1.5 bowls of rice (i wanted more, dunno why dad wouldn't allow?) some 'old water' duck (lol, that's what it's called in canto! :P), two chunks of yummy tofu, the same of yummy charsiu, a bit of silver perch and some bok choy.
-we had cake! thanks to anna who bought PIG mum a mango sponge cake; i had two nibbles of the chocolate that said 'happy birthday wai ling' then dad demanded the rest.
-thanks to everyone who shouted us dinner; i also got up and walked over to aunty a to give her her christmas present - a framed photo of her chopping up her bday cake. and wow, she says she's dreamt about me! not once, not twice, but THREE times! of me, getting up by myself and WALKING! (and not falling to my death, either, that's the amazing thing :P) well, i remember that westlife song ... "dreams can come true ..."
-home, a loo trip, then i tootled online.
-toms: i think tess will be coming? although i hope vincent the physio won't! :P hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^

thursday post

good evening! TWFT topic was 'loving others' and em was hard at work plodding 6522 steps today. righteo, it's a thursday; here's my weekly rant:
argh, my copy and paste function really hates me. >< why? in that case, i'll just type out today's events, then, if i've the time, type out thursday's stuff.
-stinky unspeakable this morning
-breakfast was two weetbix with half a dab of honey
-physio at UQ; a loo trip first.
-international students today! thanks to one (i've forgotten both their names, sorry><) who lent me both a walk belt and a walking stick! so i could take erf over elf every step i walked.
-sit-to-stands, then mat work, then weight shifting and stepping work.
-one more loo trip, then PIG mum tootled us off to plaza for lunch
-yay, naz was back! so one regular chicken kebab for me - smart man, i think he remembers what i take in mine! he stuffed it so fat, it fell apart near the end! and funniest thing? "naz, did you remember to bring me back a souvenir?" asks i. "sure - your kebab!" lol! anyways, i gave PIG mum a slice of lettuce and a pearl from my yummy japanese milk green tea with pearl. just curious, everyone else: do any of your mothers DEMAND that every time you eat sth, you MUST share some part of that with her? or is that only my mother?
-home, another stinky unspeakable, online.
-karen came at 4pm. shower first - no hairwash today.
-arvo tea was a cup of tea, white and two - my cup of the day to hold 'incorrectly', and a yummy sausage bun.
-karen kindly gave ela a massage - i was being painted white - and she told me that she's having tom yum for dinner tonight. oh, and matthew's in trouble coz he jumped up onto the kitchen benchtop and devoured (sp?) a chicken that was supposed to be dinner.
-karen brought me an early christmas present! three really cute finger puppets! a bunny, a bear, and ... sth, lol, i can't remember. :P i called them scruffy, jamie and matthew. :P ela wanted to play with them, so era kindly stuck them on her fingers.
-when karen left, PIG mum and dearest dad waltzed out for a walk too. PIG mum finally agreed to stick the chairs to either side of me so i wouldn't fall off, but trust her to removethem IMMEDIATELY after she returned. >< i just kept reading my twilight novel.
-dinner: rice, lotsa little tong vegetable, a wee slice of yummy duck, one of beef and one more of chicken. of course, PIG mum forced poor ela to hang onto the bowl as i ate, whatever. dinner was washed down with a yummy mug of fruit and vegie juice, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-dad hauled me out to look at the pretty blue christmas light string he'd hung up. nice. :)
-one more loo trip, then i tootled online.
-toms ... friday, right? so it'll be your :p turn in the morning - hope there's morning tea! but i'm dreading the loo trip that accompanies it - no doubt PIG mum will gleefully force poor ela to hang onto the rail. and i wonder where we'll head for lunch? chrissy's coming in the arvo, but most amazing thing! aunty a's asked us and the slams out for dinner at dining room toms night! *faints* well, as PIG mum says, it only happens once a year. :P
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 2 errors in my post tonight.

wednesday post

good evening! TWFT topic was 'mean what you say (2) and em was hard at work plodding 5043 steps today. eep, it's already 9:40pm, must type fast!
-when dearest dad got up for work this morning, em swung herself over to use the pot :P once, the cuddled her darling bear bear and sang/counted herself back into some heavy-duty snoring. :p
-when PIG mum rousted me from our happy snorings some time later, i swung myself over to use the pot :P once more, only i felt like doing a stinky unspeakable, so much thanks to PIG mum who rolled me into the bathroom, handed me a mug of water to drink - which i was most careful to hold 'correctly', of course - and helped me to wipe afterwards. i washed and dried both hands, went back over the loo for one more tinkle, then got kitted for the day back in my room.
-PIG mum made ! (argh, dunno why the copy and paste function isn't working again; whenever you see a ! i mean to say PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. just my ice choc up and go. yummy.
-PIG mum kindly popped me my drugs. :P i was very careful to hold the cup 'correctly', of course.
-PIG mum made ! me walk out to the car. she gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt (sth she gleefully forced poor em to do all day), then tootled us off to vedelago (i think i've finally got the spelling right), listening to josh groban (who we listened to all day).
-PIG mum made ! me walk in. lesley came in, stuck things to my head with 'mashed potato' :P and i started the bell ringing exercise.
-oh dear. the session lasts for thirty minutes; i started needing the bathroom at ten, and by twenty, knew i wouldn't last the whole thirty. >< so i called out to helen, who called lesley who paused the session. PIG mum took me to the loo once, then i returned and rang the bells for my final ten mins. lol, when lesley was doing a printout of my brainwaves? "oh yeah, that's when/where you started needing to use the bathroom." lol, i was mortified! :p
-PIG mum just went through thw drive-thru at maccas, and we ate while she was tootling us to unique physiotherapy. so i had half a hash brown, a yummy bacon and egg wrap. PIG mum and i also traded slurps of her iced coffee and my orange juice.
-PIG mum made ! me walk into unique physiotherapy, then vincent the physio Forced me to walk the rest of the way in.
-i felt safer today, coz i did everything with my helmet. safe. :)
-torture session over, vincent the physio Forced me to walk back outside, where PIG mum was having a yak to a HUNDRED year old woman! she was in a wheelchair, but hey, fair enough. wonder if i'll be allowed one when i'm that old? funniest/coolest thing? i guess physios weren't invented back in her day, coz her daughter only told her that she was seeing a 'doctor'.
-PIG mum tootled us home. aunty wendy took me to the loo once, then i sat down and continued reading my book club novel.
-ding dong! daniel wan came!
-so we did the soccer drills and played the piano. he wrote me out an activity guide, actually! let's follow it ... today, piano playing went for roughly fifteen minutes, it scored a five out of ten for hardness (i honestly have no idea why ela supernates everytime i try to lift her up to the piano), i think i did it three times with each hand and it was interesting coz not only did i play twinkle twinkle, but i tried the happy bday song too!
-daniel Forced me to walk two laps along the footprints. he also played a disney song on the piano for me - snow white? he's clasically trained, BTW. he also tried to teach me about C major nine chords (or whatever they're actually called, but i was too thick in the head to understand that. :P)
-lunch was a yummy nashi pear - i had no choice but to hand a slice over to PIG mum, of course - and a yummy chicken and avocado roll, with a wee bowl of soya sauce. thanks to aunty wendy who mixed me a yummy chocolate nesquik, my first cup of the day i got to hold 'incorrectly'.
-lol, PIG mum's ordered me to speed things up. :P
-one more loo trip, then i tootled online.
-chrissy came. late. duh. :P
-0shower - i washed my hair today.
-arvo tea was a cup of coloured water, but chrissy kindly left the teabag in the cup so i could suck it twice. :p it was my second and last cup i could hold 'incorrectly', BTW. and my other sushi roll, crumbed chicken and cucumber. i dipped that into my little fish of soya sauce.
-i finished my book club novel! so i moved back to the twilight novel that pole plop had kindly lent me. chrissy says that she and her boyfriend are going to see the movie to the second novel tonight!
-chrissy gave ela a massage at 5:45. i was being painted fanta, BTW.
-i signed chrissy off. she kindly shoved the two chairs to either side of me before she left.
-but of course, trust PIG mum to remove them the moment she came back downstairs. ><
-a loo trip, then PIG mum gleefully forced poor em on 40+ mins of mat and arm exercises.
-one more loo trip, then dinner. rice tonight, with lotsa little tong vegetable and chicken. of course, PIG mum forced poor ela to hang onto the bowl as i ate. oh well, ela's had her few hours happiness (sp?) for today.
-dinner was washed down with the last of the fruit and vegie juice, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-PIG mum made ! me walk oiver to the computer desk.
-but nature called. twice. ><
-anyways, toms: physio at UQ with (i think) the international students! fingers crossed that PIG mum will take me out to plaza afterwards to see if naz/mr. kebab guy's back yet, so i can eat a kebab! also, i wanted to email my bday congrats to mr. hall, but i doubt there'll be time, so ah well. maybe toms.
cheers,
em. ^^

tuesday post

good afternoon! sorry i couldn't post yesterday, i must've done sth wrong that pissed off the parents; to be honest, i'm a lil pissed off myself too - PIG mum PROMISED me last night that i'd have my full two hours of my precious internet time ... whatever, i'm used to it ... broken promises and all that stuff. i've often said before that my internet time is the most important part of the day for me, where i can be free, relax, check email, blog, chat, get my naruto fix. :P dad begged to differ - he said exercise is the most important thing to me, learning how to walk again. then he listed fourteen? things that were the next most important things for me. fair enough, if my internet time can't be the most important and precious time of the day for me, it'll haveta be the ONLY time of the day that i truly have for MYSELF. or it can be the ... what was it, fifteenth? most important thing to me. :p
anyways, since my hopes aren't up about getting anymore internet time tonight, i might as well stick down my final plodding totalsfor yesterday. so: yesterday, i was hard at work plodding 5080 steps (that total includes the plodding i did during hydro) and today, i was hard at work plodding 4580 steps.well, just under half an hour till lisa arrives - lol, i better find her a new adjective! so just quickly, my day:
-a stinky unspeakable this morning.
-breakfast was two weetbix with half a dab of honey
-physio at PA. linelle says next week will be my last ever ... must remember to bring michael's boy teddy bear :P for him! and someone came with morning tea! white and two for me, with a packet of bikkies. i got to hold this cup 'incorrectly'.
-michael and i practised getting from the mats up onto a plinth, then more rolling. >< finally, we ended with five mins on the treadmill.
-we had lunch with aunty vicky at dong fong/sunnybank oriental! the A and B meals didn't suit me, so i ordered the ... wet fried ho fan with combination? i gave PIG mum and aunty vicky my yucky prawns. :P aunty vicky kindly passed me a small chubk of her hainam chicken rice; PIG mum immediately gave aunty vicky a full bowl of my yummy ho fan. dunno if she remembered to give aunty vicky any of her salty fish and chicken pieces vermicelli; i had almost a bowl, though.
-home, another stinky unspeakable. oh, we listened to josh groban all day and mean PIG mum also forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day.
-PIG mum gleefully forced poor em on countless mins of hand exercises, before she took me on a forced march along dad's footprints, up, down, and back up again before i was finally allowed to tootle online.
-lisa's taking me out to toastmaster's tonight! i'm officially a member now! and fingers really crossed that i'll be allowed to get a flayva (sp?) wrap from red roosters for dinner again! please, i want some chips too!
cheers,
em. ^^

Sunday, November 22, 2009

good evening! i've forgotten the spam count for the weekend (gomen, gomen><) but it was less than 20, TWFT topic was 'doing good', and em was hard at work plodding 4088 steps today. eep, PIG mum's forcing me off to bed at 10pm, i'd best type fast!
-PIG mum dug em up, got her kitted, made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-breakfast was a mug of warm milo - i held this cup 'incorrectly', coz i knew i wouldn't get another chance to today. - and half a polo bun. when i asked PIG mum where the other half was, she explained that dearest dad had eaten one, decided that he was still hungry, and took half of another one, saying i could have the other half for breakfast. if PIG mum had polo bun for breakfast too, i wonder how much she had? 1/4 coz she's thinner than me, or 3/4 coz she actually eats more than i do? lol, speaking of food, i'm hungry now. bbl with my final plodding total for sunday, okies? time is now ...8:45pm
-actually, PIG mum's playing doctor to poor dad's wounds, so i'll just type a few more sentences. :p
-time for church, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)
-dinnertime! time is now ... 9:00pm
-*burp* i'm back! time is now ... 9:30pm; eep, PIG mum'll be forcing me to bed in half an hour! typetypetype~
-PIG mum forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt (sth she gleefully forced me to do all day), then tootled us off to church, listening to jacky cheung's 'black".
-PIG mum made (look, the copy and paste function isn't working tonight, and i don't have time to type the whole sentence out again, again and again, so i'm just going to put '!' to mean that usual sentence i put after the word 'made') me walk all the way down and in.
-service started. PIG mum forced poor em to stand up for ALL of worship, like, five? six? songs! >< i sang the harmony to one.
-speaker today was shane mc carthy, and he gave us a sermon on 'a new life'.
-communion afterwards. then, PIG mum made ! me walk to the toilet. oh dear, the rail for the disabled toilets is on the left side. >< so PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to hang onto the bar as she forced me to dak myself, continued to force poor ela to hang onto the bar as i was doing a tinkle and still forced poor ela to hang onto the bar as she forced era to pull my pants back up. then she made ! me walk over to wash and dry both hands, made ! me walk over to look at the church dedication ceremony photos - they're pretty! hope we ordered some! - and made ! me walk to take a seat in the morning tea area.
-for morning tea, i got: a plastic cup of plain water and two half wholemeal crackers. i also had a yak to aunty joanne, who said poor jessie was sick, and uncle jason just returned from hong kong where his newphew was married.
-PIG mum made ! me walk to bible study. the topic discussed was "god's will". poor ela's thumb crept in for her one hour of happiness.
-PIG mum made ! we walk back to the 4WD, and after joining back into one car, dad tootled us off to foodcourt for lunch.
-the parents made ! me walk into cafe mi. for once, surprisingly, i got the whole cold milk tea to myself! i had almost one bowl of the yummy western meal, pork chop and ham with spaghetti in white sauce. both PIG mum and i like white sauce better than red; aunty a's the opposite. the soup, though, was disgusting! what was it ... cream of PEAS?! eww ... lol, dad didn't like it either, and shoved it over to PIG mum. see? we got taste. :p
-the parents made ! me walk back to the car; dad tootled us home.
- bathroom (2), bed. i sang my favourite and second favourite songs in their entirety once in my head, opening my eyes for all the important numbers. i also swung myself around to use the pot :p once.
-PIG mum rolled me to the laundry for a shower. funny, dad must've been having a shower at the same time; the water kept changing from warm, to cold, to warm, to freezing! ><
-but a nice warm shower - i washed my hair today. PIG mum forced poor ela to scrub various body parts of me 130 times.
-lol, i just remembered - we forgot to cream me tonight! PIG mum says we'll do it when i go to bed.
-so i dried and rekitted myself. PIG mum finished off with my left ted and my laces, then made ! me walk out to the computer desk.
-i tootled online briefly until the cheung family arrived to visit! they brought me sushi for dinner!
-so that's what i had for dinner - one was egg, lettuce and cucumber, the other cucumber and avocado.
-dinner was washed down with a mug of BLOOD! >< nah, just joking - i'm not a vampire! it was really juice called sth like 'berry fusion'. i was very careful to drink this cup 'correctly', of course.
-PIG mum made ! me walk back to the computer so i could tootle back online.
-phew, i finished! no UQ physio toms, coz we're going to a book club lunch at daisy hill! wonder if we'll end up at timbuktoo or byron bay again ... :p hope everyone has a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 1 error in my post tonight.

friday post

good afternoon! TWFT topic is 'turn aside and listen to god', and no plodding total or spam count of the week from em yet; i've still got some time left online after chrissy leaves. so, going for a shower now. time is now ... 4:06pm.
good evening! time is now 7:30pm, and still no plodding total or spam count of the week from met yet, coz dad wants to take me out to coffee club for drinks with uncle slam! i know he understands: I DON'T WANT TO GO!!!! i'm perfectly happy to sit online, write my blog, get my naruto fix for the week ... guess he's just like PIG mum - they just like forcing me to walk more. ah well, i'm sure i'll survive; i've got that cool cars helmet that dad bought for me last sunday. only, PIG mum's a sneaky one: when she's not trying to force me to walk around without my pedometer, she's trying to force me to walk around without my helmet! >< i guess the only upside is that poor ela's thumb gets to creep in for an extra hour or two.
-anyways, em's being forced to go now. >< bbl with my final plodding total and the spam count for the week! time is now ... 7:37pm.
-good evening! time is now ... 10:20pm, the spam count for the week is 89 (again, it seems unusually low ... does spam slack off for christmas or sth? :p) and em was hard at work plodding 7730 steps today. anyways, my word document for some reason didn't paste as it was supposed to, so i've just wasted these last few mins typing it all again. eep, i just heard PIG mum come out from the shower! so, mega-quickly:
-breakfast was two yummy weetbix with half a dab of honey.
-physio at your :P turn. jenni got me doing exercises on a plinth first, then ela did all these other exercises. era showed her support by pitching in and doing them too.
-thanks to cara who gave me a cuppa, white and two - which i was very careful to hold 'correctly' - and a very ripe banana.
-i finished with fifteen mins on the moto med. gotta check out the website when i get the time ... www.motomed.com.au
-after a loo trip - no guesses as to who forced who to do the dakking and undakking; even worse, the bar jenni installed is on the left hand side, meaning PIG mum finds a macarbe (sp?) pleasure in forcing poor ela to hold onto it; even after i've sat down! poor ela ... :(
-PIG mum tootled us off to coles at warrigal rd to pick up some drinks for our monday book club lunch!
-lunch was at the bakery; i wanted to see what wraps there were, but PIG mum just came back with two pork salad rolls and two lipton's lemon green teas for us. lol, i thought i was pretty messy, i dropped a few crumbs everywhere - but PIG mum got her carrots EVERYWHERE! lol, she also said she dropped her sauce on the table, too.
-home, bathroom (2) and i tootled online.
-lol, as expected, chrissy came late. :P
-shower - i washed my hair today.
-arvo tea was a toasted cheese - 2 slices, coz we're outta ham - and mayo sandwhich, cut into two rectangles and a cup of coloured water, my cup of the day to hold 'incorrectly'.
-i read my book club novel, had a chat to chrissy. most days, i think she goes to bowen hills to work after me.
-chrissy gave ela a fifteen minute massage before she left. i was being painted red today, BTW. red with red polka dots. :P
-PIG mum came down, forced me to play scrabble with her. luckily, i like that game!
-another trip to the loo.
-dinner: rice, lotsa choy sum, a chunk chicken (lol, i thought it was tofu! my bad ... ><" :P). of course, PIG mum forced poor ela to hang onto the bowl as i ate, oh well. dinner was washed down with a yummy mug of fruit and vegie juice, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-a loo trip, then dad tootled us off to coffee club. parents gleefully Forced (second time)me to walk in.
-PIG mum, dad and i all shared a yummy iced chocolate. i did ask PIG mum for a bite to eat, coz i was feeling peckish, but she just ignored me. oh well.
-i read almost the entire current issue of woman's day - my gossip fix for the month. :P PIG mum decided to be mean and wrench/tear poor ela's thumb out of her loosely clenched fist. ai ... wait till toms, ela. you'll survive. :(
-anna and PIG mum both drank some disgusting chamomile (sp?) tea.
-when we were leaving, i copped a tirade from uncle slam! apparently, he thought i was so totally effed up or sth? dunno...
-dad tootled us home; i let erf sit sideways, coz it was the last trip of the day/night.
-i tootled back online.
-big dan's wedding toms! should be grand! for some reason, the parents won't lemme wear my helmet ... well, that'd be okay, if i was in sparkless or had sticky ... but i know i'm not that lucky. >< why can't i wear my helmet? it'd be me looking silly, not my parents ... :p anyways, i'm just incredibly grateful that vincent the physio won't be coming over to torture me. hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 4 errors in my post tonight.

thursday post

good afternoon! TWFT topic is "you can't save yourself!" and i'll post my final plodding total up later tonight after karen leaves; i should still have some time left. actually, she should be here in fifteen mins or so; i think i'll go get my weekly naruto fix. :P well, the manga part, anyway. actually, i'll do that once i stick down what i post every thursday:
-whenever i had to walk, i'd type that PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to. when she banned me from using all capitals, i used Forced until she somehow decided that the entire word offended her sensibilities, and banned it altogether. so i switched to the word contort, only it wasn't long before PIG mum decided that even this word somehow offended her and banned it also, saying that henceforth, i was only allowed to use the word made. anyways, i complied and used MADE. did it really surprise me when PIG mum stepped in and demanded that it had to be ALL in lowercase? so i complied again, only now i typed that PIG mum 'gleefully' made me walk. that was until charlsy left me a comment on this blog, saying that henceforth, i was only allowed to use made without any words before or after it. dunno really know why i listen to him, afterall, it's MY blog, but i guess i do coz i have heaps and heaps of respect for him as a friend. and, regarding last night:
1.PIG mum made(PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)me walk from the computer desk to the laundry to get the milk carton, and woe and behold if i try to hold the milk carton 'incorrectly'!
2. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the kitchen benchtop. there, she forced poor ela to hang onto the milk carton, the ordered era to unlid the milk. and did you know, there's a 'correct' way to do that too! after forcing poor era to put the lid back on, i drank the half-cuppa. 'correctly', of course. *sigh* i've said before, how in the past she just used to bring me my milk, in her eagerness to boot me off to bed, but now it seems that she somehow derives FAR GREATER PLEASURE at being able to force her poor daughter to walk more. ah well, i'll survive.
3. after saying goodnight to dearest dad, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)me walk to the bathroom for my nightly routine.
4.poor em was forced to stand to brush her teeth, and PIG mum also forced my poor left hand to do the three after-brush rinses with my right hand. i forgot to add, same with the kitchen benchtop, it is somehow a HUGE UNFORGIVEABLE SIN if you were to lean against the basin and rest your aching self.
5. after flossing and washing both hands, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to dry them.
6. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the toilet.
7. PIG mum forced me to dak myself for a tinkle or two.
8. when i stood back up, PIG mum forced me to pull my own trousers back up.
9. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over and bend awkwardly to flush the loo. i reached over to wash and dry my right hand.
10. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to bed. remember, i'm not allowed to hobble/stagger/limp in and grasp the handrail that was installed up there FOR THAT SPECIFIC PURPOSE, because PIG mum has recently discovered that it somehow, again, gives her FAR GREATER PLEASURE to force her poor daughter to walk to the middle of the bed, turn around and bend awkwardly to finally sigh with relief that she has, indeed, endured through another day.
11. no pull-up pants. ><><
-finally, if i don't mention any of this till next thursday, it just means that it's ALL the same as what i typed out today, okay? no difference. ><--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------actually, karen's here now, so i'll be back tonight with my final plodding total and today's events, okies? time is now ... 3:53pm.
-good evening! the time's now ... 10:10pm, and my final plodding total for thursday now stands at 6510. anyways, PIG mum says she's forcing poor em off to bed in like, eighteen mins! eep! >< well, will try to type as fast as i can. today's events:
-breakfast was two weetbix with a lil honey. yum.
-PIG mum popped me my drugs :P afterwards. i was extremely careful to hold thecup 'correctly', of course.
-physio at UQ; a loo trip first.
-katrina Forced me to walk inside; i told her i wouldn't be here next monday coz of our book club lunch.
-funny, no international students here yet! ann worked with me today. we started with some mat work - walking on my knees, rolling, etc. then we practised quite a few sit-to-stands, maybe ten?
-to end, ann Forced me on two laps of the hallway then left me sitting in the waiting room.
-i had a chat with angala? ankala? (sp?) (thanks, PIG mum: anjana) her father had a stroke; i think she told me they were indians from some other country?

GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk around everywhere picking up items. but we had a chat to gloria at the checkout! wow, she's been in australia for THIRTY years! i've only been here nineteen, and i thought that was pretty impressive!
-lunch at the fish and chip shop next door. too bad, PIG mum got us crumbed, not battered, fish, and also refused to buy me any tartare sauce. she drank my orange juice, coz she didn't like her own. i tried it; 'twas actually quite nice! some kinda thing with like 35% mango nectar?
-PIG mum tootled us home.
-robert came to visit! he said he'd been down in dubbo, the source of the dust storm!
-i tootled online briefly until karen arrived.
-a nice hot shower - no hairwash today.
-arvo tea: a toasted cheese - too bad, PIG mum only allowed one, so it was ENTIRELY too thin - ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into four squares. i also had a cup of tea, white and two, my cup of the day i could hold 'incorrectly'.
-i read my book club novel; karen and i had a chat. she's having yummy battered (aww, she gets battered! i had to be satisfied with crumbed><) fish, chips and salad for dinner; matthew's in trouble coz last night, she picked him up and he scratched her. >< she's got a gash just underneath her neck. evil cat, matthew!
-karen gave ela a really long massage, like, forty mins! lol, should tell chrissy toms, who won't give one for longer than fifteen. :p
-after karen left, i read my book club novel until PIG mum came downstairs. she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the mats and promptly forced me on 40+ mins of random arm and leg exercises.
-dinner: rice, lotsa normal lettuce, a few chunks of yummy chicken. of course, mean PIG mum forced poor ela to hang onto the bowl as i ate, oh well.
-dinner was washed down with a yummy mug of fruit and vegie juice, which i was extremely careful to hold 'correctly'.
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the computer desk, and i tootled online. first, ela practised her 30mins typing.
-but smoky jie jie rang, said she'd come over for a visit!
-so one more loo trip[, then we sat down with smoky jie jie and aunty anne and had a yak.
-aww, dad fed us a bit of yummy gelato! yumyum! funny thing? aunty anne doesn't like chocolate! i wonder if aunty anne's mum dropped her on her head when she was a baby, just like how i'm sure grandma did with PIG mum? :P
-after they left, i tootled back online.
-toms: your: turn at 10:20; hope it'll go well! but we can't have lunch with mrs. dent toms - she's sick! >< hope she gets well soon ... wonder where PIG mum and i will go, then?

-two yummy weetbix, with a wee spoonful of honey.
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have been unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the car.

-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have been unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk inside; we were told to head straight inside
-lesley told PIG mum to go entertain herself for thirty mins or so, then stuck those things that capture your brainwave patterns on me with mashed potato :P then we started the whole bell dinging thing. having nothing else to do, i sang all of my favourite song in my head, and 3/4 of my second favourite song, opening my eyes for all the important numbers. i should ask lesley next time - would i be allowed to just bring in a gossip mag to browse?
PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have been unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back out to the car, then tootled us off to maccas coz i needed the bathroom.
-she gleefully Forced (second time) me to walk inside to the loo. then she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have been unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry both hands, before she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have been unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to a table.
-she left me with the day's edition of the australian as she went to buy us morning tea.

-i honestly cannot be bothered to say what i did this session ... i survived. ><
-at the end, vincent the physio Forced me to walk back out to the waiting area and i continued reading that woman's day mag i'd started.
-when he was finally all finished, he Forced me to walk to his car, some shiny looking, prolly very exy black one.
-lol, he's like chrissy! PIG mum just gleefully forces me to do the whole thing myself; both chrissy and vincent the physio pull it down for me then just order me to click the buckle in.
-so he tootled me back home. we just exchanged idle chitchat. his licence plate reads 567 HEI, i think. he told me that 5 6 and 7 are his favourite numbers.
-aunty wendy was already at home! so i said my thanks and byes to vincent the physio, and aunty wendy took me once to the loo before i sat down at our gobbling :P table.
-aunty anne came to take PIG mum out. hmm ... doesn't that mean she gets to eat out for lunch twice this week, whereas i'll only get to once? unfair!! >< but no, i had red rooster with lisa on tuesday.
-lunch was a yummy nashi, and a mccains healthy choice microwaveable meal. some creamy cabonara thing with mushrooms. thanks to aunty wendy who mixed me a yummy chocolate nesquik to drink, my first cup today i could hold 'incorrectly'.

-a nice hot shower - i washed my hair today.
- i had a tinkle before chrissy flipped the water off, one more when she was jamming my AFO onto elf. i dried myself, got creamed, and rekitted myself. chrissy finished with my laces and Forced me to walk back outside to the gobbling :p table.
-arvo tea: a cup of coloured water, my second and last cup of the day i could hold 'incorrectly', and a toasted cheese - too bad, only one slice, so it was ENTIRELY too thin - ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into two rectangles.
-i continued reading my book club novel. as always, i asked chrissy to please give ela a massage at 5:40; as always, she wouldn't until 5:45. and i wonder where the paintbrush has gone?
-i signed chrissy off at 6pm; she'll be back on friday. i sat and read my book club novel, era gently tugging out ela's left thumb out from my loosely clenched fist. "sorry mate, fun time's over. gotta wait till toms." poor ela sulked ... :(
-PIG mum came downstairs, forced pooir em on 35 - 40+ mins of hand exercises. era showed her support to ela by doing those exercises too.
-dinner: rice, lotsa normal lettuce (PIG mum says that recently, there hasn't been any cos lettuce. wonder why?), two chunks of beef, and one chunk of pork. of course, PIG mum forced poor ela to hang onto the bowl as i ate, whatever.
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have been unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the loo, of course forcing me to dak myself, and forcing me to un-dak myself. then she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have been unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash both hands, made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have been unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to dry both hands, and made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have been unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the computer desk.
-firstly, i practised my 30 mins worth of ela typing, then i tootled back online.
-oh, before that; PIG mum forced me to do those piano exercises daniel wan taught me.

-chrissy fed me 'arvo' tea at 6pm! :P a yummy sugar custard bun, only i dropped it. ><><
-we watched seven's news at 6pm. read out by rod young and kay mcgrath, sport by shane webcke and weather by john schluter. yay, telstra shares have risen a fewcents! and the most interesting surname i found was 'larcombe'. i remember, larcombe was the surname of my year eight english teacher!
-chrissy gave ela a short massage at 6:30, but said she couldn't find the paintbrush.
-at 6;45, chrissy Forced me to walk to the loo, also forcing me to dak myself. she came and got me at 6:55, Forced me to walk over and wash and dry era, then Forced me to walk back to the armless chair.
-i signed her off, said my thanks and byes.

-argh, the parents made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have been unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) poor em do more walking practice. ><
-but i finally sat down for dinner: rice tonight, with lotsa normal lettuce and a few small chunks of beef. of course, PIG mum forced poor ela to hang onto the bowl as i ate, oh well. dinner was washed down with a mug of water, which i was extremely careful to hold 'correctly'.
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have been unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the computer desk. argh, no AFO. i mean, it's already hard enough to walk when i'm wearing all my footwear, but without my AFO, it just HURTS!!!!!!

monday post/400th post

good afternoon! welcome to my 400th post! wonder if i'll ever reach 500 ... anyways, TWFT topic was 'too perfect for their own good (1) and no plodding total from em yet, coz mean PIG mum is still hellbent on forcing her to go to hydro. >< argh, i really hate being wet ... whatever. i know i won't drown anymore. as for melting ... well, that remains to be seen ...:P anyways, what happened today?
-firstly, go em! who managed to swing herself over to use the pot :P once last night without falling to her death. :P
-when dearest dad got up for work, em swung herself around to use the pot :P once more, before cuddling her darling bear bear and snored her head off with him. :p
-when PIG mum came in and poked me awake with "ten more minutes." i also felt her tear/wrench poor ela's thumb out of her loosely clenched fist. ai, whatever, i let that be. after all, i have four hours this arvo to tuck it in when chrissy comes. it's just like the sad progression with milk:
-at first, both era's and ela's thumb got to tuck in for a happy eight hour's sleep. just a loose fist, mind you.
-after PIG mum attached that bloody annoying splint onto ela, i consoled her with, "too bad, ela, i guess you'll just haveta wait for the four hours when the carer/life coach is here to get some respite.
-but even worse, they only come for two hours now! i mean, tonight chrissy's here till 7pm coz i have hydro to attend, but yeah ... from eight hours to four then two ... it's sad, but i just teach myself to be content with what i can and can't get.
-anyways, PIG mum dug me up, got me kitted, then made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-breakfast was two yummy weetbix with just a smear of honey.
-sylvia jie jie came over to play wii with me! she conceded defeat after i whooped her 5-0 at tennis, then 2-0 at the boxing. both were won on points basis, though. no knockouts.
-lunch was a yummy toasted tomato and onion tuna sandwhich, cut into two rectangles/triangles. i drank a plain glass of milk 'correctly'.
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the toilet, forced me to pull my daks down. thanks to her who passed me a mug of water - which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', again - and i did a stinky unspeakable, wiping myself too. PIG mum came back, made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to flush the loo. i clung to the towel rack and sidestepped to wash and dry my right hand, then PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to my dining chair. (actually, my dining chair has ceased to exist. i now haveta sit in some armless one; i hang onto the sides hard for fear that i'll fall off.
-sylvia jie jie prayed for us then left, off to buy groceries near market square, she told me.
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the computer, and i tootled online.
-well, chrissy should be here in roughly 30mins, i'll just check, go send an email to someone, and be back with my final plodding total for tonight.
cheers,
em. ^^

sunday post

good evening! TWFT topic was 'keep preparing yourself', the spam count for the weekend is 22, and em was hard at work 10345 steps today. yeah, i did as much as a normal person today! but em is mega-buggered now ... >< anyways, em wasn't allowed to pop online till 9:42pm tonight, and PIG mum says she'll only allow me to stay online for an hour, meaning that toms, i either get THREE HOURS online, orboth toms and the day after, i'll get TWO POINT FIVE HOURS. i don't really care which, as long as i get my time. so, just quickly:
-breakfast was a slice of toast with some orange marmalade and a cup of warm milo. i took the opportunity to hold this cup 'incorrectly' coz i knew i wouldn't have another chance to today.
-church. PIG mum forced poor em to stand up for four songs; i sang the harmony to one.
-speaker today was dear uncle chong; he gave us a sermon on believers not being condemned when we sin because Jesus has died for us and taken that burden away.
-no communion afterwards, just a loo trip then morning tea; i drank a cup of cordial and ate a slice of bread with some marg and a lil tiny teddy bikkie.
-bible study: a new boy joined us today! uncle chong's topic was on God's guidance and listening to your parents
-another loo trip, then off to foodcourt.
-ai, dad has proved himself to be a big fat LIAR. >< as expected, i didn't get the promised two piece feed. think dad said sth about me walking crap? whatever. so i ate half a double whopper with cheese - i handed a chunk of tomato to PIG mum - and drank a chocolate with pearl. dad demanded a sip, so i had no choice but to surrender my cup to him.
-dad tootled us off to the rebel sport at garbo. the parents gleefully FORCED :(first time) poor em to walk in. i took a seat as they went around looking for helmets i could wear without looking like an arsehole. :P thanks to a sales guy called brendan who helped us out.
-home, bathroom, bed. i sang my favourite song in my head, all of it, once, then started on my second favourite song, only to fall asleep around 40% of the way through. the funny thing was, i must sing in my head even while i'm asleep! coz somehow, i knew after PIG mum poked me awake with 'ten more mins', i was up to the 3/4 mark! :P
i used the pot :P then PIG mum rolled me into the laundry for my shower. i think she says that allowing me to shower in the showerchair with wheels hurts her heels? dunno how that really works ... *shrughs* (i know that's spelt incorrectly, but i'm honestly too buggered to think of the correct spelling, sorry ><")
-so a barely lukewarm shower - i washed my hair today. PIG mum forced poor ela to scrub various body parts 130+ times, then yelled at me when i apologised to ela and thanked her in being so brave and helping me out. dunno why.
-i dried myself. we forgot the cream (PIG mum says she'll help me with it tonight; i'll prolly haveta remind her) then i kitted myself, PIG mum grabbing every opportunity to force poor ela to help out.
-dinner: rice, lotsa bok choy, 1.5 slices of tofu, and both PIG mum and i have forgotten the meat. :p
-dinner was washed down with a yucky cup of cranberry and rasberry juice, which i was extremely careful to hold 'correctly'.
-PIG mum and dad spent, what, the next HOUR, forcing poor em to walk along those footsteps dad had stuck up for me.
-when i finally got to sit down, dad poured me a mug of water - which i held 'incorrectly', he didn't notice! - and PIG mum checked my poor ouchy left ankle.
-but i finally tootled online.
-PIG mum rang dearest grandma, then gave the phone to me, baby mickey/samuel squwaking his head off in the background. :P i explained to her how indescribably terrified i was to be forced to walk around without a stick; thanks to dearest grandma who offered to pray with me. i love her so. :)
-eep, only five mins left! so i'd better end here, and check.
-again, no physio at the NAB clinic toms; sylvia jie jie's coming over to play wii again! chrissy's coming in the arvo, and i've got hydro, too. argh. >< hope everyone has a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 2 errors in my post tonight.
P.P.S. argh, another week endured by poor em without her stick. ><

saturday post

good evening, for the final time tonight, i promise!
em's final plodding total for saturday finally stands at 2997. excuse me if i can't really be bothered to get up and walk three more steps to end the day on an equal three grand. :p anyways, what's happened since the second post?
-we sang the bday song for aunty a and anna. i did the hip hips, of course. :)
-PIG mum took me to the loo once more before we settled down to take photos. i'll see if i can take dad's mobile toms and stick one up, yeah?
-i sat next to aunty a. she inquired as to where i printed the cards from, and i taught her just to google 'printable birthday cards'. lol, isn't it cool that 'google' is now also a verb? :p
-PIG mum poured me a half cuppa of milk; i presume that's my bedtime half cuppa. then i came back online.
just repeating: hope to see everyone at church toms! and dad PROMISED me that i could have a two piece feed from KFC for lunch! if that happy event comes to pass, it'll be my first two piece feed in TWO MONTHS! to be honest, i'm more expecting lunch from cafe mi, but, as that westlife song goes, dreams can come true ... :p
cheers,
em. ^^

saturday post

-i popped back online. first, i started chatting with uncle wilson on facebook, then he added me on MSN.
-dinner: two or three chicken wings, the same of pork chop, the same of pineapple and lotsa lettuce. dinner was washed down with a yucky :P mug of cranberry and rasberry juice, which i was extremely careful to hold 'correctly'.

-well, uncle wilson asked for aunty a's phone number in hong kong, she gave him the one she THINKS is correct. :P
-well, i think dad's just whipping up coffee and cake right now. hope to see everyone at church toms! and everything's crossed for that promised two piece feed! :P
cheers,
em. ^^

saturday post

argh, i have no idea where my post went ... all i did was go and get my weekly naruto fix! ><
well, chrissy should be here in fifteen mins, so just quickly:
-TWFT topic was 'six principles to live by' and em was hard at work plodding 1257 steps today. not a lot, i know, but vincent the physio didn't come and torture me today; i'm incredibly grateful :)
-firstly, go em! who managed to swing herself around to use the pot :P last night and once again this morning without falling to her death. :P
-dearest dad poked me awake with 'ten more mins, tessa's arriving soon.' i fell back asleep, only to have tess poke me awake with, 'emily, i brought you some garlic bread!" "fantastic,' i thought, 'now get lost.' :P but what i really said was 'five more mins left. go away, please.'
-anyways, she got me up, kitted and Forced me to walk over to the bathroom to brush my teeth. i enjoyed my once a week luxury of being able to balance the toothbrush on the toothpaste and squirt the toothpaste out like that.
-after i brushed my teeth, tessa Forced me to walk to the loo. i did a stinky unspeakable, wiping myself too.
-tess Forced me to walk over to flush the loo. i clung to the towel rack, sidestepped a few steps to wash and dry era, then tess Forced me to walk out to the gobbling :P table. argh, why still no arm chair? ><
-thanks to dearest dad for some ham and egg for breakfast, and also tess who made that into a sandwhich cut into four squares for me. i also drank a cup of tea, white and two, my first cup that i could hold 'incorrectly'. i wonder why only PIG mum picks up on this 'correct' and 'incorrect' way of holding cups? no-one else seems to have this rule ... dunno. can anyone tell me, please?
-tessa showed me photos of her kids and the other people she looks after. she also gave ela a brief massage, and ordered that i play scrabble with her for twenty mins.
-tess took me once more to the loo before rocking off.
-when the garage door opened, signalling PIG mum's return, era gently tugged ela's thumb out of her loosely clenched fist. 'sorry mate, fun's over.' she said, to which ela had a major sulk. so era gave her the paintbrush to hold onto.
-lunch was four or five of aunty june's yummy dumplings in wonton peel. thanks to dearest dad for one drop of soya sauce on a plate, which i mopped up with my yummy dumplings.
-i tootled online afterwards, got my naruto fix.
-but chrissy's late again! >< argh
-church toms - dad PROMISED that i could have a two piece feed all to myself! well, that remains to be seen ... chances are, we'll be eating at cafe mi. :p
cheers,
em. ^^

thursday post

good evening! TWFT topic was 'hints about heaven' and em was hard at work plodding 7979 steps today. not as much as a normal person, i know, but still more than i usually plod everyday, so yeah ... em's still buggered. ><
anyways, today's a thursday, so here's my once a week weekly speel/spiel(anyone know how the word's spelt?) :
-whenever i had to walk, i'd type that PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to. when she banned me from using all capitals, i used Forced until she somehow decided that the entire word offended her sensibilities, and banned it altogether. so i switched to the word contort, only it wasn't long before PIG mum decided that even this word somehow offended her and banned it also, saying that henceforth, i was only allowed to use the word made. anyways, i complied and used MADE. did it really surprise me when PIG mum stepped in and demanded that it had to be ALL in lowercase? so i complied again, only now i typed that PIG mum 'gleefully' made me walk. that was until charlsy left me a comment on this blog, saying that henceforth, i was only allowed to use made without any words before or after it. dunno really know why i listen to him, afterall, it's MY blog, but i guess i do coz i have heaps and heaps of respect for him as a friend. and, regarding last night:
1.PIG mum made(PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)me walk from the computer desk to the kitchen benchtop to drink my nightly half cuppa of milk. *sigh* i've said before, how in the past she just used to bring me my milk, in her eagerness to boot me off to bed, but now it seems that she somehow derives FAR GREATER PLEASURE at being able to force her poor daughter to walk more. ah well, i'll survive.
2. after saying goodnight to dearest dad, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)me walk to the bathroom for my nightly routine.
3.poor em was forced to stand to brush her teeth, and PIG mum also forced my poor left hand to do the three after-brush rinses with my right hand. i forgot to add, same with the kitchen benchtop, it is somehow a HUGE UNFORGIVEABLE SIN if you were to lean against the basin and rest your aching self.
4. after flossing and washing both hands, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to dry them.
5. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the toilet.
6. PIG mum forced me to dak myself for a tinkle or two.
7. when i stood back up, PIG mum forced me to pull my own trousers back up.
8. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over and bend awkwardly to flush the loo. i reached over to wash and dry my right hand.
9. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to bed. remember, i'm not allowed to hobble/stagger/limp in and grasp the handrail that was installed up there FOR THAT SPECIFIC PURPOSE, because PIG mum has recently discovered that it somehow, again, gives her FAR GREATER PLEASURE to force her poor daughter to walk to the middle of the bed, turn around and bend awkwardly to finally sigh with relief that she has, indeed, endured through another day.
10. n no teds, argh. i thought that maybe i could wear them once a week, every friday, just like how it gives PIG mum that much pleasure to restrict poor em to a truly miniscule bowl of icecream once a week, but apparently not. tough luck, em. ><
-finally, if i don't mention any of this till next thursday, it just means that it's ALL the same as what i typed out today, okay? no difference. ><
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-actually, no hydro this morning, phew. :P i've got my monthlies! :P trust me, i'm incredibly grateful ... now, if it'd only last till monday ... nah, i'm not that lucky. :(
-so PIG mum dug me up, got me kitted. she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash both hands, made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to dry them both, and made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-breakfast was just a mug of warm milo, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'. PIG mum popped me my drugs :P afterwards.
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car. after forcing me to buckle my own seatbelt (sth she gleefully forced poor em to do all day), off she tootled us to garbo, listening to westlife's self-titled first album (what we listened to all day, bar the last trip of the night)
-PIG mum gleefully FORCED :(first time) me to walk into the BCC library. but thanks to her who went and brought me back a feist novel to read, exile's return. then she went to harvey norman to look at fridges (ours recently passed away).
-i saw aunty june and uncle phillip! they'd already had lunch (chicken and mushroom with rice ... yum! i'm hungry now! >< :P), just finished their groceries, and were returning/borrowing new books.
-PIG mum came for me, gleefully Forced (second time, the first was back at the beginning of may, when dad's family were visiting. see, i remember these things! :P) me to walk to food court.
-i asked for a two piece feed; unsurprisingly, PIG mum refused. so i tried ringing dad, to ask his permission. too bad, he said no too! >< but he PROMISED i could have one on sunday! so i'm holding him to his promise - i mean, it's been TWO MONTHS since i was allowed a whole two piece feed to myself!
-so i had a yummy chicken katsudon. thanks to PIG mum who got me a low fat choc thickshake. i think she got a chicken nanban for herself? also thanks to PIG mum who wandered over to extremely nearby ... lol, i've forgotten the name! >< to get me some cream puff thing for arvo tea. nothing comes free, though. everything has a price; PIG mum demanded slurps of my thickshake for that.
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back out to the car and tootled us home.
-karen was waiting for us on arrival.
-a nice hot shower - hairwash today.
-arvo tea was my yummy cream puff thing, plus a cup of tea, sweetened with 1.5 teaspoonfuls of sugar. oops, clumsy me ><>< much thanks to karen who wiped that off and stuck a dishtowel over my lap to prevent anymore messes.
-karen gave ela a massage (i was being painted light green today, BTW), before i signed her off, said my thanks and byes. she'll be back next thursday, is having a mccains microwaveable meal for dinner - some chicken and pasta thing - and matthew's in trouble coz he woke her up at 4am this morning by scratching/biting her. evil cat. :p
-PIG mum drove me to the logan north library for my bookclub, and gleefully forced (3rd time) me to walk in. thanks to all the other girls who gave me a clap when they saw how hard i was trying to walk. :)
-also thanks to erica who kindly made me a cuppa, white and two, my second and last cup of the day i was able to hold 'incorrectly'. i also nabbed four cream bikkies - two round ones with orange cream and two rectangular ones with white cream. or the other way around. :p
-we had a discussion about the secret river, our novel for the month. for some reason, i don't think anyone liked it, really ... the poor author :p
-the novel for next month has an interesting title! meaning i'll put aside my ... lol, i can't remember the name, that good vampires novel that pole plop lent me; i'll put aside that novel and start reading this new book club one. thanks to PIG mum who reminded me that it was called 'twilight'. and too bad, i was just getting to a good part! edward's just brought her to visit his family! oh well, pole plop said she wasn't in a hurry to get the novel back.
-PIG mum took me once to the loo before tootling us home. sadly, for the SECOND month in a row, she refused to take me to the red rooster's drive-thru to pick up some dinner. luckily, i'm not actually feeling that hungry tonight ... was it that cream puff? or the four bikkies i scoffed down at the book club?
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the computer switch, gleefully forced me to bend awkwardly to flick it on, then made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the computer desk.
-toms: your :P turn at 10:20. PIG mum wonders, will jenni's tummy be any bigger? and will we see sue and andy? and hopefully, we can go to plaza and find naz for a kebab! it's been a month, i think?
cheers,
em. ^^
