monday post

good evening! TWFT topic is 'bathsheba-gate' and em was hard at work plodding 6019 steps today.not as good as yesterday, but still more than usual, meaning yes, em's still buggered. >< anyways, i won't be bothered saying heylo to all my online MSN buddies tonight, coz i know PIG mum is waiting to force poor em off to bed, so, just quickly:
-breakfast was two weetbix with half a dab of honey.
-sylvia jie jie came to play wii with me! so she created a mii - called 'sh', her initials are 'sh', for sylvia ho- then i beat her in a game of bowling, five games of tennis, and two of boxing.
-lunch was roughly a bowl of vermicelli that PIG mum had cooked, with wombok and cuttlefish balls. lol, that sounds suss, doesn't it? :P
-sylvia jie jie prayed with us, and i gave her a hug before she left.
-one loo trip, then i tootled online to practise ela typing, before coming online to do my own stuff.
-when chrissy came, she Forced me to walk to the laundry to get kitted for hydro, Forced me to walk over, wash and dry my right hand, and Forced me to walk to the car.
-off she tootled us off to hydro. only there was no parking available. so she was Forcing me to walk inside when she saw somebody leaving. 'quick, emily, hang onto the bar and keep walking so i can park the car." she ordered. so i shuffled along the bar (with sth solid to hang onto, i had no problems taking my right foot past my left) until she met me at the entrance and Forced me to walk the rest of the way in.
-i took off my pedometer, socks, AFO (when chrissy's here, i always remember to take off the last strap of my AFO, but on the days she's not, i just take the first two off then slide the AFO out. see, coz she's threatened to gimmee a cold shower if ever i only take the first two straps off and slide the AFO out! o_O)
-judy stuck KAB on elf, then plopped me into the nice warm water.
-hydro today; fifteen squats, lotsa waterball and three of my favourite head dunks at the end! :P and i'm proud to report, i got a 3/3 success rate at getting my bum onto the ground! :P
-judy let me walk out, and chrissy rolled me in for a nice hot shower - obviously, i washed my hair today.
-i dried and creamed myself, stuck a tee on, then chrissy rolled me over the loo for two tinkles. she finished getting me rekitted, kindly dried the floor for me, then Forced me to walk back out.
-but the worse thing? i've explained before why i simply HATE hydro, yeah? coz there's no NAB clinic on thursday, PIG mum's being cruel and booked me to go in AGAIN! the only way out that i can see ... please, if someone has a spare morning, please ring my mum and book us to go out. anything! i'm all for a meal, but even a forced walk along some park i'll take. PLEASE, can anyone PLEASE save me? :(
-chrissy tootled us home. she let me hit the hazard light for two flashes coz she said i'd been working hard.
-back inside, i got a late arvo tea: one yummy sausage bun. i also drank a cup of coloured water, my one cup of the day i could hold 'incorrectly'.
-we watched seven's news at 6pm, read out by rod young and kay mcgrath, sport by shane webcke and weather by john schluter.
-i asked chrissy please to give ela amassage at 6;30, and got one for almost fifteen mins. i was being painted dark green today, BTW. PIG mum would've been happy. :P
-chrissy took me once to the loo, before rocking off to her next job, somewhere faraway, like, bowen hills?
-PIG mum forced poor em on a few mins of hand exercises before dad brought dinner over. rice tonight, with lotsa wombok, a slice of beef, and a bit of yummy BBQ chicken. thanks to PIG mum who gave me two wee pieces(sp?) of chicken skin. but no thanks to her for forcing poor ela to hang onto the bowl as i ate. whatever. ela understands, she's had her happiness for today, she's ready to wait till toms for it to happen again.
-dinner was washed down with a mug of ... what was it again, rasberry and cranberry juice? and i was extremely careful to hold that 'correctly'.
-PIG mum and dad took poor em on forced laps down the hallway, i said after the first few, that elf's poor ankle was mega-hurting, but it's not like they cared. so i just struggled on till i finally got to sit down.
-i tootled online.
-toms: physio at PA, hope dear habib or someone comes with morning tea! but if it's habib again, i must ask him if gavin's still hanging around. he was my favourite coloured water man, see. :P
-and, in the arvo, 3pm, we're off to goodwill orthopaedics (sp? i think! that's how it's spelt!) to see rod. i think my straps need changing, or sth? also, i think PIG mum wants to ask him about some boot thing i wear that acts as an AFO too, so i can go to the loo at night? finally, toastmasters! must remember to take my awesome notebook! and all fingers, toes and other appendages crossed that lisa can take me out for dinner before/after! and also that the heavens open. no, that's not just a crossing body parts thing, that's sth worth praying about tonight. :P
one last thing: i was mega-happy to speak with dearest grandma and aunty nga last night! she told me that uncle fung doesn't have an english name, and a friend helped her choose hers. she was almost my aunty susannah! both PIG mum and i prefer aunty florence, definitely. and when i asked dearest grandma why baby mickey/samuel was squeeling his head off, she told me, "i grabbed two bananas, one for me, one for him. i started eating the bigger one, but no, he wants it." brat! :p one last good thing? grandma says i can ring her again come wednesday. :)
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 2 errors in my post tonight.
