tuesday post

good evening! TWFT topic was 'the power of encouragement (2)' and em was hard at work plodding 6870 steps today. righteo, what did i get up to today?
-well, gimmee a few mins to say heylo to all my online MSN buddies first. :p
-PIG mum dug me up this morning. i swung myself over to use the pot :p once, then PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of friday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the bathroom to wash both hands, made (PLEASE! GO NOW!to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk across to dry them both, made (PLEASE! GO NOW!to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the laundry and forced me to open the fridge drawer to pick up the milk, then made(PLEASE! GO NOW!to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the kitchen benchtop to place the milk down. lol, i only realised after that i'd held the milk carton 'incorrectly', i wonder, does PIG mum notice that but let it pass, or is her strange rule only observed for mugs with ears? dunno, will try it again if i ever get the chance.
-i got myself four ladlefuls of just wrong :p interspersed (sp?) with a few grains of nutri-grain, and munched that first with a metal spoon. when i asked mum please for a plastic spoon - they have more depth in them, see, she handed me - the ladle! so i had great fun scooping my cereal mouthfuls in great big ladlefuls. :)
-PIG mum popped me my drugs :P afterwards - a cranberry, a bilberry, a fish oil, and a garlic. i was extremely careful to hold the cup 'correctly', of course.
-time to head off, PIG mum made (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 car, of course forcing me to buckle my own seatbelt (sth she gleefully forced poor em to do all day). then she tootled us off to the princess alexandra hospital for physio, listening to the pepsi chart hits of 2001 (what we listened to all day)
-oh dear, no parking for us available. ><><) me walk inside first, then went to repark the car. i exchanged some chit chat with a man lucky enough to use a walking stick; he told me he'd been in a car accident awhile back, and broken nearly every bone in his body! owiee ... ><
-PIG mum came for me, made (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 to the loo, forced me to dak myself, made (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 to wash and dry both hands, then made (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 to the day physio.
-linelle met us, directed me to a plinth. thanks to her who moved a table in front of me so that i was able to shuffle forward and get elf down to the ground.
-linelle explained to me that today, we were making me a movie star! :P basically, she just Forced me to walk laps of the hallway as michael took stills and video of me. i think she said i took 100 steps to walk 10m?
-at the end, linelle and michael got me onto the mats next to a plinth, and taught me how to sit up again. lol, poor michael, i asked him was it true that even the goldfish in his house were females. "oh, it's not goldfish, it's a siamese fighting fish." he tells me. and how does he know that the siamese fighting fish is a girl too? "she ignores me too,' he tells me mournfully. aww, poor michael. :P
-they handed me back to PIG mum at the end, who made (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 all the way back out to the car, then tootled us off to centacare.
-PIG mum made (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 inside. the receptionist told us to head straight to the room, and i settled down with the day's edition of the courier mail until a big tubby man came in.
-he introduced himself to PIG mum and i as phil hunter, and we basically had a chat. he even inflated my ego for me! " you're not just a smart cookie, emily," he told me, "your cookie's too big to even fit into the jar!" well, thanks, phil. :p
-phil walked us out to the car, where he let us in on one of his vices. "i smoke." he admitted.
-PIG mum tootled us off to mokka for lunch with mrs. dent. she gleefully FORCED :(first time) me to walk in.
-i ordered a yummy omelette with bacon, cheese and ham, and drank a chocolate milkshake. at first, i'd asked for a chocolate thickshake and had made a deal with PIG mum that i'd not cling to the walls whenever she was forcing me to walk in return for the thickshake. still, i immediately knew after my first sip that it was just a chocolate milkshake. when i asked PIG mum why, mrs. dent came in with, "oh, sorry, i didn't know that was what you wanted." somehow, i seriously doubt that, but i just let the matter drop. there's always next time ... PIG mum also had an omelette, i fed her a piece of my crust. mrs. dent just had a toasted cheese sandwhich.
-we said our byes to mrs. dent. PIG mum made (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 all the way down to our 4WD and tootled us home. i've said this before, right? that it seriously PISSES me off when there's an available disabled underground parking available, but PIG mum just blatantly refuses to even TRY park there, coz "i'm a crap driver." argh, i mean, i try my absolute hardest and then some to get through the day, why can't you put in a little effort yourself and try make my life a lil easier for me too? >< argh, whatever. i'll survive.
-back home, PIG mum made (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 over to the computer switch, forced me to bend awkwardly to flick it on, then made (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 back to my computer chair. i tootled online briefly till lisa came.
-lisa Forced me to walk into the laundry. a nice hot shower - i washed my hair today. lisa forced poor ela to scrub my hair, wash and dry era.
-i had a tinkle before lisa flipped off the water. then i dried myself - we both forgot to cream me! - and rekitted myself. poor ela. lisa finished off with my left ted, AFO and shoelaces, then Forced me to walk back out to the gobbling :P table.
-afternoon tea was a mug of warm milo - my one cup of the day to be held 'incorrectly' and a yummy nashi pear. i fed PIG mum a small chunk.
-bowling time! lisa tootled us off to greenslopes for bowling. she got out sparkless for me on arrival, and i wheeled myself inside.
-we played two games, lisa won them both. this time though, i won the air hockey.
-lisa tootled us off to not sushi train, but sushi TRAM! for dinner. she Forced me to walk in, but thanks to her who let me hold gently onto her hand coz it was dark.
-she ordered three yellow dishes(the cheapest colour); i had a yummy chicken katsudon. she also drank a lipton's iced peach tea.
-too bad, i really wanted some green tea icecream, but lisa said that we hadn't asked PIG mum, also that it was getting late. so she paid, then Forced me to walk back out to her car. thanks to the asian waitress who held open the door for us.
-PIG mum met us at the door. lisa returned sparkless to us, then i sat down and chose the stickers hard-working ela had earned today. hey, harry's got franklin to provide him some company now! :)
