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. ^^
