MONDAY POST

good evening! TWFT topic is 'work on the inner you (2)' and still no plodding total from em, although i was hard at work plodding 440 in hydro today. hey, i wonder if anyone's ever invented a waterproof pedometer? must google it, if i ever get the time! anyways, today's events:
-when dearest dad got up for work this morning, em swung herself around to use the pot :P once. dad took off that bloody annoying splint; once back into bed, rainbow abled up to me. "good morning, ela!" she said cheerfully, 'let's hold ... um, appendages!" lol, bear bear calls them all paws, but i told her last night that we humans have hands. :p i guess she must've spent all last night thinking of a suitable word to use this morning. :P so ela obidently opened up to grasp rainbow's 'appendage' :P only it was way too big for her to grasp onto! so she tried rainbow's ear next. nup, too small. the perfect solution, rainbow's tail! so i happily snored away. :p
-PIG mum dug me up several hours later, got me kitted.
-breakfast was a crunchy choc chip museli bar and a mug of warm milo, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'. of course, PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to hang onto the bar, then ordered era to unwrap it.
-PIG mum tootled us off to UQ for physio. of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and we also listened to jacky cheung all day.
-phew, a park for us on arrival. :) a loo trip first - no guesses as to who forced who to do all the dakking, un-dakking, etc etc etc - then PIG mum rocked off to pay, leaving me with some women's mag.
-lol, i keep forgetting their names, sorry ... >< that girl from america came for me, lent me a walkbelt then Forced me to walk in.
-lotsa sit-to-stands. then she handed me over to a girl who also speaks canto! she's from mauritius (sp?) though.
-lotsa ambling along the parallel bars with this girl.
-almost forgot! ann told PIG mum and i that kat'd had her baby boy! congrats to the williams family! four kids now! or five? whatever the case, kat has all my respect!
-PIG mum tootled us home. unsurprisingly, she refused to take me out to lunch; honestly, i've lost count of the number of weeks where she's refused to take me out to lunch until thursday or friday. but she did stop at the bakery to pick us up a pork salad roll each. dunno why she refused to buy us drinks, though. oh well.
-a loo trip when i got back, again, no guesses as to who forced who to do all the dakking, un-dakking, etc.
-but aunty po yee came to visit! it's been, what? a year!
-so she shared half a pork salad roll with PIG mum. thanks to PIG mum who poured me a cup of milk, which, again, i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-we yakked away, thanks to aunty po yee who brought me my first xmas present! it's a lil bag of nice stinking lavender; i think PIG mum put it in my room for me. apparently, they're good to place beneath your pillow?
-i walked aunty po yee to the door, then went to the loo for a stinky unspeakable.
-after flicking the computer switch on, i tootled online till chrissy came - only one minute late, today! :p
-so she Forced me to walk to the bathroom to get kitted for hydro; i also had two tinkles over the loo. chrissy came back; Forced me to walk around to flush the loo. i sidestepped, clinging to the towelrack to wash and dry era, then chrissy Forced me to walk to her car, and tootled us off to hydro, listening to B105.
-chrissy Forced me to walk inside. the usual gang were already there! judith ambled over saying, "we missed you last week, where were you, emily?" i whispered to her, "monthlies..." and she laughed. "you're excused, then. wait till you're as old as me, then you won't haveta worry about that anymore!" :P
-judith (the hydrotherapist, not the lady) wandered over, stuck KAB onto elf, then plopped me into the water.
-hydro today - some work for ela, lotsa waterball, walking forwards and sideways, and three of my favourite head dunks at the end! :p and i'm proud to report that i got a 3/3 success rate on getting my bum down on the floor! :P
-judy let me walk out; chrissy wheeled me in for a nice hot shower - but eep! PIG mum forgot my washer! oh well.
-i dried and creamed myself, got rekitted, then went for two tinkles.
-funny thing? when i was over the loo, i heard sharon come in and say, "where's our favourite girl?" to which i replied, "if you're talking about me, i'm in here." "you decent?" was her next question. "yeah, i got a tee on. well, i guess the top half's decent, at least. you can come in, if you want." so sharon came in; she gave me a hug and we wished each other merry christmases. and i told her, "thanks, doctor sharon, but i think i'll not need your offer of a bottom amputation anymore." :P
-chrissy kindly dried the floor for me; Forced me to walk back out to her car. i called a bye to judith, "see you next year!" yeah, no more hydro for awhile!!~
-chrissy went to refuel her car before tootling us home.
-arvo tea was a yummy nashi - PIG mum had one of my slices, of course - and we watched some lucky woman win $100 000 on deal or no deal! i also drank a cup of coloured water, my cup of the day to hold 'incorrectly'.
-seven's news was read out by sharyn ghidella, sport by ben davis, and weather by talitha cummins. the most interesting surname i remember was 'applegate' and yay, telstra shares are up five cents!
-i was wondering if chrissy would remember to give ela a massage after the news; nope, she seemed perfectly content to watch today tonight. so i told her to please give ela a massage at 6:35.
-at 6:45, chrissy Forced me to walk to the loo. i had two tinkles; chrissy came back to Force me to walk around to flush the loo. i clung to the towel rack, sidestepped to wash and dry era, then chrissy Forced me to walk back to the gobbling :P table.
-i signed her off; she rocked off five mins early, and will be back on wednesday. she's often off to bowen hills after me, BTW.
-i gave ela the paintbrush to hold coz her thumb wanted to tuck back in; then i continued reading my twilight novel.
-PIG mum wandered downstairs to force me on 5+ mins of hand exercises; i was saved by dad bringing dinner over.
-pasta tonight (that bow shaped one), lotsa cabbage, and roughly four spoonfuls of dad's yummy mince, tomato and egg. of course, PIG mum forced poor ela to hang onto the bowl as i ate, oh well. she's actually sitting next to me right now, tearing/wrenching it out of my loosely clenched fist. ah well, i'm waiting till when lisa gets here toms; ela will get a few hours of respite/happiness. :)
-PIG mum had me do those exercises daniel wan taught me; so, soccer drills for 1 min (it seriously doesn't take long to kick a ball ten times with each foot) and it scored a 7 out of 10 coz it's hard to remember to weightshift and walk and kick at the same time. also, the piano drills for ten minutes, that also scored a 7 out of 10 coz ela still doesn't have the best co-ordination.
-i tootled online.
-toms ... PIG mum says we might go see a movie? coz there's no physio at the princess alexandra or centacare toms! so i'll check, publish, then go see what movies are available. hope everyone has a great day toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 2 errors in my post tonight.
P.P.S. we rang the family last night! uncle fung answered, rang us back. poor grandma's still sick :S so she's wearing a facemask, doesn't want to get baby mickey sick too ... ohh, guess i should remember to call him 'little' mickey, not 'baby' mickey anymore, coz uncle fung calls him little mickey too! and grandma said i could ring her again on wednesday :)
P.P.S. one last thing, almost forgot! we rang leanne tonight! i told her i'm hard at work on her bday song, and she says that she and peggy plan to visit me on the 27th! yippee!
