sunday post

heylo! with much thanks to uncle dick, em has a plodding total to report! 2919 steps today! anyways, since it's already 10pm, i'd best type quick:
-i spent the nIGHT AT FIRST AUNTY'S! (argh, sorry, shrieking. ><)
-i woke up when dad flicked the television on. since i needed to pee, he stuck a sock, AFO and shoe on then made me walk to the toilet. but erf's a very happy foot - dearest dad stuck a shoe on her too! :P
-anyways, after the loo trip, i tucked ela's thumb back in for some happy sleep, then snored my head off with boy bear, the teddy that cousin teresa had lent me last night to sleep with.
-when i awoke later, dad got me kitted for today. i went to brush my teeth, had a loo trip, then went outside.
-thanks to fourth aunty who'd brought breakfast up! so i had: one small bowl of congee, one yummy dumpling and one little sausage bun. i also drank a little poppa of milk - to this day, the milk is the only thing australia has over hong kong - everything else food wise? hong kong kicks ass. :P
-fourth aunty helped me hobble/stagger/limp over to the couch. grandma sat down next to me, and i saw some of the DVD photos of grandma's 90th birthday! very spiffy, indeed~~
-cousins karry and sunny arrived. off we went to disneyland!
-i spent today in spakless. sometimes i wheeled myself, other times i was with dad, carrie, karry, sunny, lol, just all the other adults.
-we started wuth some sit on a boat game with laser guns! i was crap, my score was like 560, dearest dad only got, like, TEN TIMES my score! :P
-we then went on a few other boat rides. i liked the "it's a small world" one, we traveled through the continents!
-lunch was lotsa assorted chinese food - rice, BBQ pork, etc. i drank a poppa of lemon tea, and coz i'd whined at sunny, "aww, but why aren't there any chips? i want some! pleeeease?" he bought a small box! and i munched around eight chips, dunked in tomato sauce.
-then we went shopping! i grabbed a pillow - no, a cushion, really - for aunty a, and a mickey mouse keyring for little mickey. dearest dad also bought me a mickey tee, saying i could wear it for chinese new year.
-but my highlight of the trip was my photo with pooh bear! cousin karry helped me walk/hobble/stagger/limp in, and i cuddled pooh bear, told him, "pooh bear, i'm from australia! and sorry, i don't know your chinese name, so i'm just gonna call you pooh bear." we took lotsa happy snaps together, me myself, with cousin karry, with dad. at one point, i asked him, "pooh bear, you must be awfully hot, wearing that headgear." he nodded vigorously (sp?) and mimicked crying! lol, poor pooh bear. :P
-we went and watched some special mickey show, but my other favourite was the lion king show! i sang along to all of the songs, of course. :)
-we finished the night off with the fireworks show! very spectacular :)
-then we went to buy photos! i got the full-length one of me hugging pooh bear. :) i think that cost twenty aussie dollars.
-and good timing! just as we were leaving, an announcement came on, "dear everyone, disneyland's closing soon."
-uncle dick tootled franco home first. lol, when i first got into the car, cousin teresa ordered, "franco, help emily with her seatbelt." i quickly did that myself before he could come around to do it. on the trip back to franco's home, cousin teresa rang their amah (sp?) and said that first, franco was to have a shower, then for dinner he'd get six dumplings with udon noodle. lol, that just made me hungry! :P
-then, uncle dick tootled dad and i back to aunty nga's place. uncle fung and PIG mum met us at the door. i was very careful to pop ela's thumb back outside when the car pulled to a stop.
-at the front door, i changed shoes, then sat over the loo as PIG mum got ready for my shower.
-after a nice warm shower - hairwash today- i got dried. PIG mum stuck a sock and my AFO on then made me walk over to the loo for two tinkles. i got rekitted, then she made me walk back outside.
-first, i wandered over to baby mickey's room, to give him the keyring mickey i'd bought for him as a souvenir! i also gave him two pecks on the cheek before PIG mum made me walk back out to the computer.
-lol, i've really no idea at all what's in store for me toms, but, whatever it is, i hope it's fun!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. the spam count for the entire week is 181.

wednesday post

heylo! em's in hong kong! the flight:
-my attempt at pulling an all-nighter failed miserably. but i did watch cloudy with a chance of meatballs!
-food: yummy. i got fish in white sauce for 'dinner' (1am! :P) as did dearest dad; PIG mum got pasta in red sauce; dearest dad had the same as i. breakfast was a wee banana mufin, a crossaint(sp?) and another sweet pastry. i also drank orange juice, and had a cuppa, white and two.
-first aunty really did come to pick me up from the airport! and she bought me a tigger, too!
at aunty nga's house:
-dearest grandma came!
-i met little mickey! and pinched his cheek. :P too bad, he just ignores me, though. :p
-PIG mum helped me with a shower - how cool, aunty nga's installed a bar on my right side, too!
-uncle fung cooked us dinner. i ate roughly 1.5 bowls of rice, lotsa lobok, some fish, chicken, and drank a bowl of grandma's soup.
-then i rang dearest dad. :)
-only thing: the nose is being stupid. >< argh.
-right now, i'm using some foot massage thing! my right ankle really hurt at first, but now it's just a foot massage, like, the soles of my feet.
-anyways, toms:
-aunty nga's taking me to maccas for breakfast! and i've got some appointment to get my hong kong ID card toms.
-i'll try to pop online when i can!
cheers,
em. ^^

australia day post

aussie aussie aussie! oi oi oi!! happy australia day, everyone! anyways, TWFT topic is 'you are god's conduit', and still no plodding total from em. >< anyways, PIGmum's just ordered it's showertime for me, so i'll bbl tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^
-good evening! well, it's after 8pm ... but i'm still waiting for dinner! :P
-anyways, em was an incredible PIG TODAY WHO SNORED HER HEAD OFF WITH BEAR BEAR AND EMPEROR TILL AFTER MIDDAY! :P WHEN pig MUM DUG ME UP, I USED THE POT :P AND GOT KITTED. pig MUM RELENTED AND ALLOWED ME TO HANG ONTO THE RAILING JUST THIS ONCE TO GET UP.
-argh, sorry, shrieking! >< anyways, breakfast was three yummy weetbix with one spoonful of honey. thanks to PIG mum who popped me my drugs :p afterwards. then, i kept reading my book club novel until dad ceded me use of the internet. but, argh. >< parents were horrid and wouldn't let me stand touching anything. so it actually took quite awhile before i made it over to the computer. but i tootled online till around 4pm, when i announced to PIG mum that i was peckish. she made me walk over to the gobbling :p table, fed me a toasted cheese - only with one slice, sadly ENTIRELY too thin, but that was to be expected, after all - and ham sandwhich, cut into two rectangles. when i whined at her that she'd forgotten any mayo, she fed me two pods as apology. i think, some kinda toffee time pods? that i washed down with a mug of warm milo, which i quickly sculled 'incorrectly' coz PIG mum was elsewhere. after my late lunch/arvo tea and more failed attempts at trying to stand without touching anything, i tootled back online until i felt like doing a stinky unspeakable. so thanks to PIG mum who fed me a mug of water, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', of course. i wiped myself, PIG mum forced me to pull up my own daks, then i went back online till dearest dad came home, from coffee with his workmates, i think. PIG mum chose that time to chuck some absurd hissy fit and not let me wear my helmet to the laundry for my barely lukewarm shower. she also gleefully forced poor ela to scrub various body parts of mine 140 times. tjhen i dried and rekitted myself, PIG mum again grabbing every opportunity to gleefully force poor ela to help out. so i'm back online again, waiting for dinner at almost 8:30pm! :p dad's driving us to uncle slam's, whose driving us to the airport. i want some cup noodles and breakfast on the plane! i'm also gonna try for an all-nighter; never made one through before. anyways, so you won't get any posts from me for three weeks, not until i get back! but i'll try pop onto facebook and MSN when i can see everyone later!
cheers,
em. ^^

monday post 3

good evening! umm ... i don't think i received a TWFT email today? but still no plodding total from em. >< well, i've got one hour to type this post and read all my facebook messages ... here goes!
-crap. em work up wet this morning, at like 1am! >< guess january's a double failure ... argh.
-when dearest dad got up for work this morning, em swung herself over to use the pot :p once. back in bed, ela's thumb joined era's in some more sleeping, while i cuddled bear bear and emperor and snored my head off. :P
-PIG mum poked me up with 'ten more mins.' ten minutes later, i used the pot :P once more, got kitted for the day. PIG mum made me walk out to the gobbling :p table.
-breakfast was two weetbix with some honey. thanks to PIG mum who popped me my drugs :p afterwards.
-PIG mum made me walk out to the 4WD. today, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and we also listened to voices disc two (a disc with the music for the 2006 world cup, i think) all day. PIG mum tootled us off to your :p turn.
-PIG mum made me walk in. i browsed that australian physiotherapy journal as she rocked off to repark the car.
- jess came for me, Forced me to walk over to a plinth.
-my session today with her was just doing all this posture exercises, both sitting and lying down on my tummy.
-i sat up. PIG mum made me walk over to the table (yay, thanks to peter who gave me an armchair! safety :) then gleefully forced poor ela on a whole heap of exercises, like, turning newspaper pages. jess came along, said my homework while i was in hong kong would be to use ela while eating fruit. then i had time on the motomed - arms for sixteen mins, and feet for twenty.
-i used the loo once before we left. i got my daks down before PIG mum noticed, but she caught on immediately and gleefully forced poor ela to hang on both during and after my tinkle.
-PIG mum made me wash and dry both hands, before she made me walk back to the car. on the way out, joy bid me a happy holiday, she also said happy new year in canto ('gong hei fat choi' and told me to get lotsa red pockets! :p
-PIG mum made me walk back to the car, and tootled us off to fasta pasta for our lunch date with CC!
-she wasn't there yet when we arrived, so i sat and browsed the day's courier mail as PIG mum decided to harass poor ela's thumb. :(
-lol, CC rang us! "umm ... i'm lost..." she sheepishly told PIG mum. luckily, she was close, only at the nearby red rooster, so PIG mum could give her good directions to fasta pasta.
-when she arrived, i gave her my card and the small box of ferrero rocher. we looked at the menu and ordered. i got the (err, please gimmee a few mins to look at their website menu... :P)ravioli fantasia - ravioli, bacon, mushroom, onion and garlic with cream sauce; i remembered to hand PIG mum a slice over of my mushroom. CC and PIG mum also got pasta, and we all had a slice of cheesy garlic bread. yummy. i drank a chocolate milkshake; too bad, PIG mum refused me a thickshake. :9 oh well, next time, maybe.
-i hugged byebye to CC, then PIG mum tootled us home.
-a stinky unspeakable for me when we arrived home. then i tootled online until chrissy arrived - wow, less than five mins late today! :P
-so she Forced me to walk inside for my shower - i washed my hair today.
-dad's said i'm not allowed to have a tinkle anymore in the laundry, so i'll not report on that anymore. so i dried and creamed myself, got rekitted. chrissy Forced me to walk out to the gobbling :p table.
-argh, PIG mum already instructed chrissy to force me to use ela to eat my arvo tea of a juicy pear! even worse, she also ordered i was either to drink plain water, or tea with NO sugar!*sigh* for me, just one sugar for me is already fairly tasteless; no sugar? coloured water, definitely.
-we read our novels until news time. chrissy Forced me to walk over to the couch. seven's news was read out by rod young and kay mcgrath, sport by shane webcke and weather by talitha cummins. think the australia day weather toms will be 22 - 33.
-the moment the news ended, i told chrissy to please give ela a massage, and got painted orange today.
-chrissy took me to the loo once before we hugged our goodbyes. i don't think she'll return till early march! but we promised to buy each other a souvenir and trade.
-dad tootled us off to dining room for dinner. aunty a was already there!
-so was the boss - he's so smart, before i'd even asked, he said, 'i know, you want some ice water, right?' and later gave me a spoon and fork too.
-i gave dearest dad his card and present. :) i also got up from the table and hobbled/limped/staggered over to his seat so i could give him a big kiss. :)
-dinner: i got roughly one and a half bowls of rice, some flounder, some charsiu, some kailan, and three chunks of yummy tofu. i also had two wee chunks of the desert, some kinda chrysanthemum jelly?
-aunty a shouted us! she really is lovely to dearest dad. :) anyways, both dad and i pretended to faint from the shock when aunty a returned. :P
-we couldn't go to soya cafe for tofu flower tonight, but PIG mum's PROMISED that we can go next time!
-anyways, the parents made me walk back to the car (i said bye to the boss, told him we were off to hong kong)
-eep, ten mins left! typetypetype~~
-i hugged aunty a bye; she assured me she really didn't need a souvenir from hong kong. will try to find her one, anyway. :)
-dearest dad tootled us home. i let erf sit sideways for this last trip for topday.
-PIG mum took me once to the loo before i tootled online for my last hour.
-australia day toms! dunno what we're doing; PIG mum'd better come up with sth, else i'm gonna sleep till 6pm toms night!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 3 errors in my post tonight.

sunday post

good evening! the spam count for the weekend is 39. anyways, what's happened since my afternoon post?
-PIG mum made me walk to the laundry for my barely lukewarm shower - i washed my hair today. she didn't have the time to force poor ela to scrub me though, coz first she ordered me to stand and wash my back bum. i stood up on the NON-SLIP mat - SLIPPED, and fell! >< luckily, i just landed on my bum. PIG mum screeched very loudly for dad, who came down, and they got me back up on the seat. dad for some reason or another chose to read me a tirade, oh well. i dried and rekitted myself, PIG mum leaping at every opportunity to force poor ela to help me out. she finished with my left ted and laces, gleefully forced me to pull my own pants back up, then made me walk back out to the gobbling :p table.
-there, she poured me a mug of water - i admit, i drunk that 'incorrectly', then she ordered me to write lines. dad had ordered i write two different ones; 1. i must not have a tinkle in the laundry, and 2. i must not hit the hazard lights in the car. but i wrote them only - i think? - three times before he called dinner.
-rice tonight, with two chunks of sweet carrot, lotsa little tong vegetable, and some yummy BBQ chicken. of course, she mmmade poor ela to hold onto the bowl while i ate, whatever. dinner was washed down with a mug of fruit and vegie juice, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
PIG mum made me walk back to the computer desk. i think she said she was booting me off at 8:30? or 8pm? well, one or the other.
-anyways, toms: off to your :p turn at 10:20. here's hoping cara will come with morning tea and a banana (though i doubt i'll be lucky enough to have all of it. *sigh*)
-then, even better! we'll be going for lunch with CC at fasta pasta again! oh, that's right - i need to print her out a farewell card! righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^

sunday post

good afternoon! TWFT topic is 'do what you're called to do', no spam count for the weekend from me yet (i'll put that up later tonight) and atill no plodding total from em. >< well, if dad won't buy me a pedometer toms, my last resort will be to ask uncle slam to please buy me one, if he can; i think he's the one taking us to the airport on tuesday night. anyways, 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! o_O :P
-this morning, PIG mum poked me up with 'ten more mins." i counted the ten mins away, then spent the rest of the time just having a silent chat to percy the angel/saint, asking him to please help me with having enough patience and perserverance to endure through the day.
-when PIG mum dug me up, i used the pot :P once more and got kitted for the day. PIG mum made me walk out to the gobbling :p table for breakfast.
-actually, she ordered dad to give me two weetbix for breakfast coz she needed to go change. and score, dad gave me a whole tablespoon of honey!
-PIG mum made me walk out to the car. today, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her seatbelt all day, and we also listened to westlife's self-titled first album all day.

-PIG mum made me walk down to the service hall. when service started, PIG mum gleefully forced poor em to stand up for three songs; i sang the harmony for two and also clapped along to another one.
-speaker today was shane mccarthy, and he gave a sermon on 'why christians suffer'.
-communion afterwards, then PIG mum took me to the loo. of course, she gleefully forced poor ela to hang onto the rail during and after my tinkle, whatever. then she made me wash and dry both hands, before she made me walk over to the morning tea area where i picked up two of my favourite lemon cream bikkies. then she made me walk over to the morning tea area.
-i yakked away to nadia, who told me about her adventures in hong kong and china, and lucky things, they not only get a pupil free day, they get THREE pupil free days! i'm so jealous~ yeah, they don't start school till thursday!!
-i also thanked bernard for printing me out the worship song lyrics, and that i'd be in hong kong for three weeks so he wouldn't need to then.
-lunch time! PIG mum made me walk back to the car, and tootled us off to springwood fasta pasta for lunch with mel and mrs. unitt! of course, she got us lost on the way. :P well, not lost, just took one wrong turn. :p
-PIG mum gleefully MADE (4th time) me walk inside; mel was already waiting! lol, she invited me to sit on the comfy sofa with her. "the mums can have the uncomfortable chairs." :P lol!
-so we looked and ordered; i got my favourite, fettucine cabonara with chicken and drank a lipton's lemon iced tea, PIG mum got some pizza, while mel and mrs. unitt got some pasta. mel drank a chocolate milkshake (hey, i didn't know fasta pasta sold shakes! well, must try for one toms!) PIG mum has already decreed that i'm not allowed the same thing twice, so i think i'll try for the veal parmigiana(sp?) toms. well, unless she orders a pizza again; then i'm going for my favourite fettucine cabonara with chicken again.lol, mel ordered some cheesy garlic bread, mrs. unitt didn't know and ordered some normal garlic bread! so lots to share around~ thanks to mel who grabbed us the parmesan (sp?) cheese to sprinkle on my pasta. i got a few good shakes over my pasta before PIG mum snatched it away and placed it out of my reach. :(
-we yakked away. my thanks to PIG mum for not dissing dearest dad at all and leaving me mostly undissed. of course, i copped a few, but that was expected. mel told me that at the army, she works on radios, she shares a house with three? four? other girls, and while they haveta do their own cooking, their cleaning is done for them. and that enoggera (sp?) is about twenty minutes past the city.
-time to go, PIG mum made me walk back to the car. we hugged, said our byes. i think mel said mr. unitt's first name is steven? sth like that, anyway.
-PIG mum tootled us home. i let erf sit sideways for this trip, coz it's my last for today.
-a loo trip when i got back. no guesses as to who gleefully forced who to do everything.
-righteo, me just off to check my email now. will try to be back later tonight with the spam count for the weekend and the events of toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

saturday post3

good evening! TWFT topic is 'learning to pray', and still no plodding total from em. >< i mean, every morning i ask dad please to buy me one; every night, he returns home empty handed and just says that PIG mum told him that i didn't need one. well, I DO!! >< i honestly have no idea what perverse pleasure PIG mum gets out of making me suffer ... like i've said, i've absolutely no interest in cheating and shaking the pedometer; i just want an indication of how hard i've struggled for today. anyways, today's events?
-firstly, yay for em! who managed to swing herself over to use the pot :p once last night without falling to my death. o_O:P
-when PIG mum got up for work this morning, em swung herself around to use the pot :p once more. back in bed, ela's thumb joined era's in tucking gently back in for more sleep, and i enjoyed being able to hold the headrail with a finger. (when i was still hospitalised, i used to grasp the rail with my entire hand, but once back home, with PIG mum snapping at me that i'm not in prison and therefore have no need to hang onto the rail, i switched to just hooking a single finger around the headrail every tuesday, thursday and saturday. *sigh* it's another thing all for my PIG mum's happiness and/or satisfaction; i'm sure i'll survive. and eep, PIG mum just told me that she's gonna force me off to bed at 9pm! eep, must type quickly!
-tessa arrived about ten minutes late, today. but she'd bought me some chicken pasta!
-so she dug me up, got me kitted, Forced me to walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth. i enjoyed my once a week luxury of being able to balance the toothbrush on the basin (it's too massive to balance on the cup!) and just squirt out the toothpaste out like that.
-tess Forced me to walk to the loo. after i stood back up, ahe Forced me to walk around to flush the toilet. i clung to the towelrack, sidestepped around to wash and dry era, then tess Forced me to walk out to the gobbling :p table.
-breakfast was a cup of tea, white and two, my first i could hold 'incorrectly'. i ate a bowl of tess's yummy chicken penne with lotsa diced vegies in white sauce. tess grabbed herself a bowl too, saying that she was hungry.
-tess gave ela a short massage, said i was being painted black today.
-actually, first of all, tess forced me to play thirty mins of scrabble with her. today, i won.
-then i sat and penned a nice long letter to nana. :) i must remember to ask PIG mum to post it for me on monday! maybe she can do it when i'm at your :p turn?
-tess took me once more to the loo before she rocked off. actually, i did a stinky unspeakable, wiping myself too.
-lunch was another bowl of tess's yummy penne and chicken pasta. thanks to PIG mum who poured me a glass of plain milk, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-argh, vincent the bloody physio arrived for my torture session. >< but he'd brought kat jie jie along, who kindly provided me with tissues everytime her horrible hubby made me cry. >< :p
-i used the loo when they left, then tootled online to await chrissy's (late :P) arrival.
-a nice warm shower for me today - i washed my hair.
-i had a tinkle just after chrissy flipped the water off, one more when i was drying myself, another when i was creaming myself, and one last one when chrissy was jamming my AFO on.
-chrissy Forced me to walk to the kitchen to make my afternoon cuppa, my official cup of the day to hold 'incorrectly'. arvo tea was a toasted cheese - too bad, only one slice, so it was ENTIRELY too thin - ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into two rectangles.
-we read our novels. as always, i asked chrissy please to give ela a massage at 5:40, today, she refused to till almost 5;50! then i got painted pink and yellow.
-i was sitting at a good angle to just watch the news from where i was; trust PIG mum to come downstairs and me to plod 7;20 on the treadmill, before doing the same herself.
-then, she made me to do daniel wan's piano exercises. so, piano drills, for fifteen - twenty minutes, and it was mainly frustrating coz even when it was era's turn to play, mean PIG mum would wrench/tear ela's poor thumb out of her loosely clenched fist. oh, and that scored a seven out of ten.
-aunty a arrived for dinner! rice tonight, lotsa cos lettuce (or some other green leafy vegetable :P), some chunks of beef, and a wee small chunk of yummy battered fish with a tiny drop of mayo. dinner was washed down with a yummy mug of fruit and vegie juice, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-PIG mum took me once more to the loo, then i tootled online.
-church toms. hope to see everyone there! them, lunch with mel and mrs. unitt at fasta pasta, midday! i'm very excited! anyways, sorry for any mistakes tonight, i've no time to check coz it's already past 9pm, and poor PIG mum's whinging of a headache and a sore back. anyways, nite nite!
cheers,
em. ^^

-toms; tess is coming, oh well. hope she won't force me to play scrabble with her for too long! anyways, i'm planning to pen a nice long letter to nana toms. and i'll be praying ever-so-fervently tonight that vincent the physio doesn't show up tms arvo to torture me! still, i know by now that god doesn't even bother to listen to my prayers; sometimes, i wonder why i even bother to persist at them. *sigh* whatever, i'm sure i'll survive. chrissy's coming in the arvo; again, hopefully not too late! anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^

friday post 3

GOOD AFTERNOON! twft TOPIC IS 'GOD WILL TELL YOU WHAT TO SAY', sorry, shrieking! ><" i'll put the spam count for the week tonight, coz i've still got at least FIFTY MINUTES left to me, and still no plodding total from em. >< i'm starting to despair that i'll get a pedometer before i return to hong kong. >-when dearest dad got up for work this morning, i swung myself over to use the pot :P once. back in bed, bear bear scampered up to ela, and said happily, "good morning, ela! let's hold paws." :P ela sulked, but obediently opened up to hold 'paws' :P with bear bear. era also cuddled bear bear, then the two of us happily snored our heads off together. :P
-argh, trust PIG mum to be a mean nasty pig who removed the showerchair from the room before she poked me up. >< meaning she got me kitted, then made me walk over to the loo for my morning tinkle. no guesses as to who gleefully forced who to do everything.
-breakfast was two weetbix with a small dab of honey. PIG mum popped me my drugs :P afterwards, and i was very careful to hold the mug 'correctly', of course.

-PIG mum made me walk in. emma kelly took over, Forced me to walk to a plinth. first, i worked on all these sitting posture exercises, like, growing tall, then moving myshoulderblade down. it's confusing, i admit, i've absolutely no idea how to move that particular muscle group! ><
-i sat up, PIG mum made me walk to another table and gleefully forced poor ela to do all these exercises, ie. theraplaydough :p, weights, pegs, newspaper page turning, etc. era lended her support by pitching in to do them all, too.
-cara came with morning tea! so white and two for me. PIG mum forced me to hold this mug 'correctly'. i also ate half a banana. PIG mum had immediately snatched away half without asking any permission; she came back and claimed that it had been broken.
-i ended up with twenty minutes on the motomed. i actually pedalled fast enough this time to get some active movement; at least this time, PIG mum can't gleefully taunt me that i've wasted another session.
-PIG mum tootled us home first so i could use the bathroom. of course, no guesses as to who gleefully forced who to do everything. then she tootled us off to the glen for lunch with mrs. dent!
-PIG mum gleefully MADE (4th time) me walk in. thanks to mrs. dent who offered me her hand to gently hold on.
-we sat down, looked at the menus and ordered. lol, i told the guy about this being our fourth time lucky trial! he laughed too and said he'd try to make this lunch awesome for us.
-i got a chicken caesar wrap with chips and a pineapple juice (you should try it someday, it's really yummy!), mrs. dent got a caesar wrap without the chicken and drank a fizzy water (i think it's called 'sparkling water'?) and PIG mum got the half rack of BBQ pork ribs and just drank plain water. of course, when her meal came, she complained that it was too sweet and/or salty. i donated my parsley(or whatever green garnish was at the top of my wrap) to mrs. dent, and also passed a shred of my lettuce to PIG mum; not my fault she dropped it on the table. i also tried dipping my chips into PIG mum's BBQ sauce that came with the ribs, until she snapped at me. then i got two small single shakes of salt on my chips, before PIG mum snatched that away and placed it out of my reach. oh well.
-so we ate and yakked away. my thanks to PIG mum who left dearest dad and i almost entirely undissed!
-also thanks to mrs. dent who shouted us! i asked her if she'd like a souvenir from hong kong, and she said just to please send her and nana a postcard. anyways, i plan to pen nana a nice long letter toms when tess is here!
-PIG mum made me walk back out to the car. we said our byes and thanks to mrs. dent, and PIG mum tootled us home. i let erf sit sideways for this two minute trip, coz it was my last for today.
-PIG mum made me walk back inside and i tootled online.
-well, chrissy should be here in another thirty mins or so; i'll just proofread then check my email. see you guys tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^

thursday post 6b

good evening! righteo, what happened since my last post?
-karen arrived early. i got a very nice hot shower - hairwash today.
-i made myself a cup of tea, white and two, my cup of the day to hold 'incorrectly'. i also ate a toasted cheese - yay, thanks karen for two slices! - ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into four triangles. she toasted herself a slice of bread, and just ate it plain.
-i read my bookclub novel, karen was awesome and started giving ela a massage at 5:30!it's just too bad that chrissy always gives one for only ten minutes or so. i was being painted light green with pink spots, BTW. scruffy's fine, as usual, but matthew's in trouble coz karen forgot to let him out at night, so the evil cat pooped all over the carpet and peed in karen's handbag! >< :P
-karen took me once more to the loo, then seated me on the sofa to watch seven's news just as dearest dad arrived home.
-seven's news was read out by sharyn ghidella, sport by patrick somebody (meaning i've forgotten, sorry! >< :P) and weather by talitha cummins. the most interesting surname i found was 'tomic', that australian tennis player.
-PIG mum came downstairs to plod on the treadmill; i was supposed to, after her, only i grew sleepy and dozed on the couch. PIG mum came over, took my shoes off, swung my legs onto the couch, then went to eat dinner with dearest dad. i sang both my favourite and second-favourite songs in my head, opening my right eye for all the important numbers. afterwards, i considered really snoring my head off, only 1. i was hungry and 2. i needed the bathroom!
-so PIG mum took me to the loo once, before i settled down tonight.
-rice tonight, no greens! just some egg and roast pork. and sth else too, i think, but i've forgotten. :P sorry! >< of course, PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to hang onto the bowl as i ate, whatever. dinner was washed down with a mug of fruit and vegie juice, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-PIG mum made me walk back to the computer desk. i'm just chatting to rolls, now. :)
-toms: physio at your :p turn. hopefully cara will come with morning tea and a banana (although PIG mum will most likely pinch half >< ) and i'll get thirty minutes on the motomed! then, cool bananas! we're having lunch at the glen with mrs. dent! i think i've already decided that i want a chicken caesar wrap with chips. anyways, i'm off to check, then get my facebook fix for today.
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 1 error in my post tonight.

thursday post 6

-good afternoon! where was i?
-breakfast was some ham and eggs on toast and a mug of plain milk, which PIG mum forced me to hold 'correctly'.
-PIG mum made me walk out to the car. today, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her seatbelt all day, and we also listened to westlife's coast to coast all day.
-PIG mum tootled us off to kuraby park, then made me walk all the way in to the pergola, before leaving me seated on the bench and returning for the cool picnic chair with the armrests that dearest dad had bought for me. safety, for awhile. :)
-'bunana' :P PIG mum realised that she'd left our mobiles at home! so thanks to aunty agnes who loaned me her nokia mobile, set on loudspeaker so we could all listen. i rang dearest dad, who told me he was in geebung. PIG mum also had a yak to him.
-lol, aunty agnes told me to sing a song for her before we left! seeing how comfortable i was in my picnic chair, i picked my favourite song to sing out aloud to her. the ninety-nine bottles took me around twenty mins to warble through, BTW. :P
-PIG mum made me walk back to the car, then she tootled us off to plaza for lunch!
-sadly, naz wasn't there. :( PIG mum taunted me and said he's prolly left. :(
-so we ate at cafe mi instead, and saw clo!
-PIG mum decided that we were going to order two meals to share between the three of us. i chose the western meal, pork chop and ham in spaghetti with gravy and lots of diced vegies, and i drank a cold milk tea. aunty agnes and PIG mum decided on the other meal, 'ma por tofu. i tried half a spoonful of the tofu - eep! spicy! >-PIG mum made me walk up to the car, and tootled us home. i let erf sit sideways for this trip, my last for today.
-PIG mum took me to the loo once when we arrived home. no guesses as to who gleefully forced who to do everything.
-dad took happy snaps of us and aunty agnes before PIG mum made me walk over to the computer switch, gleefully forced me to bend awkwardly to turn it on, then made me walk to the computer chair, where i tootled online.
-aunty anne's over right now, actually.
-anyways, i've still got roughly THIRTY MINUTES owed to me tonight, after karen leaves. so i'll just check, then check my email. see you guys tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 1 error in my post this afternoon.

thursday post 5

good afternoon! TWFT topic is 'in spite of family and friends', and still no plodding total from em. >< anyways, today's events?
-when dearest dad got up for work this morning, em swung herself over to use the pot :P once. back in bed, ela's thumb joined era's in creeping gently back in for some more sleeptime, then i cuddled my darling bear bear (who's finally been all dried by mr. sun! :P) and snored my head off :p i also swung myself over to use the pot :P once more, around 9am.
-PIG mum came and poked me up. i swung myself around to use the pot :p once more, only i feltfelt like doing a stinky unspeakable, so much thanks to PIG mum who rolled me in, passed 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, then got rolled back into my room to get kitted for today. *sigh* i thought PIG mum would get me kitted while i was over the loo, meaning i could stand up at the sink after i'd washed and dried both hands, but alas, 'twas sadly not the case. PIG mum rolled me back into my room, and forced me to transfer back to my bed, so she gould gleefully force me to stand without holding onto the rail. and if that's not bad enough, now she won't even allow me to hold onto the raileven AFTER i've already stood up! ><
-lol, i've just realised: here's my thursday's rant:
-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. no pull-up pants. >< no teds, either. 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. ><
-also, PIG mum has recently decided that i'm not allowed to stick anything after the word 'made'. so, if you see the phrase 'made me walk', just understand that it's followed by a PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post (thursday's post) to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><

wednesday post5

good evening! hmm ... i've got just under thirty mins, best type fast!
-chrissy gave me a shower - i washed my hair today.
-arvo tea was a yummy nashi and a mug of tea sweetened with a single spoonful of sugar, my official cup to hold 'incorrectly'.
-we read our novels. chrissy started yakking on the phone to her boyfriend's mum; so i asked her to please give ela a massage at 5:45. she ignored me and kept yakking away, but when the garage door opened, heralding PIG mum's return, she immediately hung up and started giving ela a massage so as to look good. by then, it was about 5:50.
-after she left, the adults all took turns showering, then dad took us out for dinner!
-dad parked, leaving PIG mum to gleefully FORCE :(first time) me to walk into sunny seoul. we looked at the menus and ordered. funny, this waitress came with small dishes of food. "umm ..." i wondered, "is that ice-cream?" coz it really looked like a scoop! she laughed, "no, it's mashed potato. and the waitresses really were korean! so we traded 'gamsameda's all night long. :)
-dad tootled us off to just soy cafe for desert, but said we were all to only have tofu flower. dunno why, but no biggie. i got tofu flower with fresh mango (why are they always sold out of the shirataku (sp?) dough?! ><), PIG mum just got plain tofu flower (ie with nothing), dearest dad got green bean and aunty agnes got red bean (or the other way around. :P) PIG mum and dad both scored some of my mango; later, PIG mum asked why i'd scoffed my tofu flower so fast. lol, wasn't it obvious?! "i thought you would've demanded some more!" :P
-anyways, the parents made me walk back out to the car, and dad tootled us home. i let erf sit sideways for this trip, my real last car trip of the day.
-PIG mum took me to the loo once before i tootled back online for my last hour.
-toms: aunty agnes is leaving in the arvo! i think she wants to wander in the park come toms morning? dunno, but i'm off to aunty anna's for a hair trim before i return to hong kong. eep, only eight mins left! better check, then let PIG mum make me to bed.
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. almost forgot! ice-cream night!
P.P.S. ~!@#$% (2)

wednesday post4

good afternoon! TWFT topic is 'making the tough calls', and still no plodding total from em. >< anyways, what happened today?
-this morning, when dearest dad got up for work, em swung around to use the pot :P once. back in bed, bear bear happily clambered up to ela. "good morning, ela!" he greeted brightly, "let's hold paws; it's been too long!" so ela obediently opened up and held 'paws' with bear bear. :P
-when PIG mum came to dig me up, i swung myself over to use the pot :P once more. i thought PIG mum would get me kitted while i was on the commode, meaning i could just stand and just head straight out for breakfast, but, no. PIG mum forced me to return to bed before she got me kitted, meaning she could again my life as difficult for me as possible (like i don't already struggle hard enough to get through the day!). anyways, she made me walk out to the bathroom to wash both hands, made me walk over to dry both hands, and made me walk out to the kitchen. but, no, the suffering's not done yet. she made me walk over to the cupboard to get the weetbix, to the fridge for the milk, then finally back to the benchtop. she only allowed me two weetbix this morning, instead of three, and again, she made poor ela hold onto the milk carton while era opened the milk, 'correctly'. then, poor ela had to take the milk back to the fridge before i could finally sit and enjoy my breakfast. my only consolation was that i got one whole spoonful of honey onto my two weetbix. :)
-PIG mum made me walk out to the car. thanks to aunty agnes who helped me buckle my seatbelt. then, PIG mum tootled us off to vedelago, listening to ronan keating's christmas disc.
-PIG mum made me walk in. lesley stuck things on my head with more mashed potato :P (i think the stuff's actually called 'conductive paste'), and i started donging bells! i propped era on the table beside me, and sang both my favourite and old second favourite songs in my head all the way through once, opening my eyes for all the important numbers. and i was SO close to ringing 2000 bells! PIG mum's snapped at me that the session's useless unless i ring at least 2000 bells? this time, i got 1997! but lesley was pleased, and said i had permission to be brain dead for the rest of the day. :P also, i think she says she likes me wearing red; i must remember to put on another red tee the next time i see her. :)
-this time, PIG mum helped me with my seatbelt, saying i had done well; then, she tootled us off to the nearby maccas. she took me to the loo once, then left me with the courier mail as she and aunty agnes went to buy us brunch.
-i finally got one hash brown to myself! i also had a breakfast wrap (which is just a simple bacon and egg wrap) and an iced coffee. lol, PIG mum was right: the iced coffee has no real coffee taste at all - even i liked it! of course, i chewed on the ice cubes afterwards, then got yelled at by PIG mum when i whined at her that my poor mouth had frozen. :P
PIG mum tootled us off to unique physiotherapy. awesome, kat jie jie was here!
-my torture session was just basically me walking between one plinth and another, again, again, and again. >< whatever, i survived. ><
-vincent the physio Forced me to walk back out; PIG mum took over and made me walk back to the car. i let erf sit sideways, coz i thought this was my last car trip of the day.
-aunty wendy was a lil later today, so both PIG mum and i had a yak to dearest dad, who told me that he was at geebung.
-when aunty wendy arrived, PIG mum took aunty agnes to see the dentist with her. prolly needed someone to hold her hand when she was wailing her head off. :P
-so aunty wendy kindly made my bed for me as i read my book club novel. and i found a quote i really liked! 'she walked toward charles and said "i do not speak english.'' lol, she just said that she didn't speak english, IN ENGLISH! :P that was on page ... (thanks to PIG who's looking for it for me right now ... 115.)so i'll remember to email that to carol before i leave for hong kong~
-aunty wendy gave me two sushi rolls with a little bowl of dipping soya sauce. one was crumbed chicken and avocado, the other was ... BBQ chicken, i think. aunty wendy also sliced me up a juicy nashi pear - so juicy, in fact, that i needed to go pee right afterwards! i came back to eat my other sushi roll. thanks to aunty wendy who mixed me a mug of chocolate nesquik, the first of today i could hold 'incorrectly'.
-then aunty wendy gave both era and ela a massage! era's feeling the love. :P
-so i read away. aunty wendy took me once more to the loo before we said our byes and see you next month's.
-i tootled online, to await chrissy's arrival. she's 2 mins late ... so far. :P
-tonight is aunty agnes's last with us! i think PIG mum said sth about asking dearest dad (who's just rang her mobile, actually!) if we can take aunty agnes out to sizzler's for dinner tonight. i certainly hope we can! anyways, tonight i've still got ONE FULL HOUR left tonight online for me. see you then!
cheers,
em. ^^

tuesday post2b

good afternoon! well, this should be my last post for today; i'm getting almost forty-five mins online, when all i've really got left is thirty mins ... anyways, what happened in the arvo?
-sylvia jie jie arrived. PIG mum rocked off for her thyroid ultrasound, leaving instructions as to for how much longer i'd be allowed online.
-i decided to save thirty mins for this arvo/tonight. sylvia jie jie helped me hobble/stagger/limp over to the gobbling :P table, where she let me sit on one of those chairs where i could cling to the backrest! :) so we yakked away, sylvia jie jie said sth about teaching ela to type also?
-when the garage door came up, sylvia jie jie helped me hobble/stagger/limp to the toilet. i did a stinky unspeakable, wiping myself too. then i did everything before calling PIG mum; trust her to be a great big meaniepoo and make me walk back to wash and dry ela too, before making me walk back to the gobbling :P table. i told her that alice from coda had rung and that i'd told her about when we were away, etc.
-lunch was roughly half a bowl of spiral pasta, lotsa cos lettuce, and a few small chunks of meat (lol, i've forgotten which, sorry! :P ><) thanks to PIG mum who poured me out a glass of plain milk.
-aunty agnes came! she's over till thursday morning, i think. 'twas good to see her!
-PIG mum made me plod 7:20 on the treadmill. no, wait, or was it 7:10? 7:10, i think. then she claimed to do the same herself; i didn't keep count, coz aunty agnes was yakking to me and playing with ela. i told her of the time i'd punched out vincent the physio. :p
-PIG mum made me walk back to the computer table.
-anyways, tonight's the first toastmaster's of the year! i dunno if lisa, or evelyn, or both, will take me, but i think it'll be good! and, fingers, toes and all other appendages crossed that we can grab some dinner out afterwards!
cheers,
em. ^^

tuesday post2

sweet, this is the 500th post! lol, i wonder if i'll ever make it to 600 and beyond ...prolly not, sadly, i mean, my taleofepic2 journal went into hiatus coz i was simply being TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum>< and sadly, by how things are currently going, this taleofepic4 journal doesn't look like it's life expectancy will be much longer either ... sad. :(
anyways, TWFT topic is 'correct your child'. and, like i said yesterday, i'm doing atrial this week by writing my blog before checking my email and surfing facebook, so i'll see how that goes. anyways, today's events?
-when dearest dad got up for work this morning, em swung herself around to use the pot :P once. back in bed, era stuck out two fingers, and beckoned to ela, who's thumb happily crawled in for some more sleep.
-around 10am, i swung myself around to use the pot :P once more.
-closer to midday, PIG mum poked me awake with 'ten more minutes." i counted the time away, then spent the extra few mins just having a chat (don't worry, PIG mum, i understand by now that you can only pray to god; i was just having a chat to him) to percy the angel/saint, asking him for the patience and perseverance to endure through today, to help me remember that everything i do will be solely for PIG mum's pleasure and/or satisfaction, and that if i can endure through today, i'll have two extremely PISSY if extremely important hours of ME time online. lol, i sound like an ad! optus yes time, emily me time. :p
-anyways, PIG mum dug me up. i used the pot :P once more, struggled to put my tee on while PIG mum just sat there and watched. what, am i a some amusement show to look at? o_O :P PIG mum finished with my left ted and laces. then, the difficulty for the day started. >< she wouldn't let me stand up holding onto the rail that home mods had PUT UP FOR THAT SPECIFIC PURPOSE! >< but i made it up in the end. PIG mum made me walk to the bathroom to wash both hands, made me walk over to dry them, then made me walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-i got myself three crunchy weetbix for breakfast. thanks to PIG mum who provided half a spoonful of honey, although no thanks to her who made me take a second sip out of the required mug of water first, even though i'd already taken one sip. but never fear, i was extremely careful to hold the mug 'correctly'.
-more difficulties getting up from the table. argh, at first, i used to cling to the table, until vincent the physio just told me to push up off it, ie no holding on. but now, PIG mum's gleefully made it even harder for me. >< i'm not allowed to touch anything, even after i've stood! argh, you can see why i was talking so fervently this morning to percy the saint/angel, asking for the patience and perseverance to endure through today.
-PIG mum made me walk over to the computer switch that she was going to make me bend awkwardly to turn it on. but i noticed that she must've left it on from last night. phew! i mean, i remember how she used to turn it on for me, before i tootled online, but no. it's just like the standing and the milk, PIG mum just finds some perverse pleasure in making things more and more difficult for me. :(
-anyways, i tootled online exactly at midday! but i won't get my full two hours in one go, coz aunty agnes's coming to visit for two nights! so PIG mum and i will haveta pick her up from the train station sometime after 1pm. fingers crossed that PIG mum will take us to that runcorn BBQ restaurant on warrigal road for lunch afterwards! maybe i'll bbl this afternoon, if not, tonight.
cheers,
em. ^^

monday post 2b

good evening!
well, continuing on from where i left off this arvo...
-chrissy came, Forced me to walk to the bathroom for my nice hot shower - i washed my hair today. i had one tinkle right after chrissy flipped off the water, one more when i was drying/creaming myself, and one last one when chrissy was jamming off my AFO.
-arvo tea was another yummy sausage bun and a cup of tea sweetened with a single spoonful of sugar, my last to hold 'incorrectly'.
-we read our novels; chrissy's reading the third? fourth? twilight novel - bella's married and pregnant to edward! i wonder if she'll end up having some half demonic baby ... chrissy told me that edward wants bella to have a child with jacob, a human, vampire and werewolf mix! i wonder what he/she/it will look like?
-at 6pm, chrissy Forced me to walk over to the couch. first, we watched some lucky woman win a crazy amount on deal or no deal, then seven's news was read out by sharyn ghidella, sport by ben davis and weather by talitha cummins. sorry, but haha to shriekapova, who's out of the australian open already! :P
-i told chrissy to please give ela a massage once today tonight started; i know she wouldn't bother to move until i told her. but she said i could choose what colour i was being painted today.
-at 6:45, chrissy Forced me to walk to the toilet, also forcing me to dak myself. two tinkles later, she came back for me at 6:55, Forced me to walk around to flush the toilet. i clung to the towelrack, sidestepped to wash and dry era, then chrissy Forced me to walk back to the gobbling table. i signed her off, and she rocked off a few minutes early, off to bowen hills again.
-so i sat and read my book club novel as PIG mum plodded away on the treadmill. then, it was my turn; today i plodded 7:10 (i think. :P) PIG mum was sneaky, though, i walk at the speed 0.8, but when i started she had left the speed on 3! "eep!" i squwaked, "too fast!" luckily, PIG mum shut the machine off before i could fall off. ><"
-PIG mum made me walk back to the gobbling :p table for dinner. pasta tonight, with lotsa cos lettuce, a couple beans, some soup meat - pork - two yummy mushrooms, and a tiny sliver of dad's 'salty egg'. of course, PIG mum made poor ela hang onto the bowl while i ate, whatever. ela realises that monday's a happy day for her - she gets to gently tuck in four four hours and not just two! :)
-dinner was washed down with a mug of fruit and vegie juice, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', of course. then, PIG mum made me walk back to the computer, claiming that i've only got an hour left online, coz apparently i already spent an hour online this arvo. argh, whatever. ><
-toms: well, i'm sleeping in, unless PIG mum comes up with sth for me to do! and aunty agnes's coming in the arvo, for two nights, i think! it'll be great to see her. :) fingers crossed that PIG mum won't diss me too much in front of her, as is her wont, but hey, i'll prepare myself for that tonight. anyways, hope everyone's enjoying their week!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. the first monday post (below this one), where we went to that cafe for lunch, was supposed to be a gleefully FORCED :( coz it was the first time; however, trust PIG mum to be some horrible censor and forbid it. oh well. off to check my email now~
P.P.S. i found and corrected 2 errors in my post tonight.

monday post 2

good afternoon! TWFT topic is 'are you running away from god (2)?' and still no plodding total from em. >< anyways, i'm trying sth new here: usually, i check my email first, before i write my blog. this week, i'm gonna trial writing my blog before i check my email, we'll see how that goes. anyways, today's events?
-firstly, yay for em! who managed to swing herself over to use the pot :p once last night without plummeting to her death. :P o_O
-when dearest dad got up for work this morning, em swung herself around to use the pot :p once more. back in bed, both era's and ela's thumbs gently tucked in for some more rest, then i cuddled emperor and stored my head off. :P
-PIG mum poked me awake with "ten more minutes." when i got up, i swung myself around to use the pot :p again, i got kitted for the day, then PIG mum made me walk out to the gobbling :p table.
-breakfast was a yummy sausage bun and a mug of warm milo, which i admit, i held 'incorrectly', as PIG mum was doing sth ... hanging out the washing, maybe?
-PIG mum made me walk out to the car. today, she oor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and we also listened to so wing hong all day (i think PIG mum says he doesn't have an english name?).
-off PIG mum tootled us off to your :p turn. a loo trip for me when we arrived; of course, PIG mum made poor ela to hang onto the rail. then i went to wash and dry both hands, before i took a seat and PIG mum went to repark the 4WD, leaving me with some mag.
-jess came for me, and made me to walk over to a plinth. but she let me hoild gently onto her hand, yeah. :)
-my session with jess was just basically lying on my tummy, propping myself up on my elbows, and moving some back muscle. it's quite confusing, i admit; i have no idea how to move it! ><"
-but i sat up, PIG mum made me walk to some table, where i got to sit in some armchair! yeah, blessed safety, for awhile. :)
-so PIG mum ma poor ela on heaps and heaps of exercises.
-peter made morning tea today! white and two for me, and PIG mum allowed me to have one bikkie with white cream. i was very careful to hold the cup 'correctly', this time.
-peter told me that he's 3/4 finished building the rocking horse for his grandson, and he gets INTENSE physio at your :p turn, like, a crazy SIX hours a day! lol, i told PIG mum i wasn't willing to do that many hours of physio a day, unless they supplied VERY good lunch. :P
-one more loo trip before we left. again, PIG mum made poor ela to hang onto the rail.
-we had lunch at the shopping centre near centacare, some centro one? PIG mum made poor em walk all the way down to some cafe ... palm oasis? sth like that, anyway.
-anyways, i ordered a chicken drumstick with gravy and chips. much thanks to PIG mum who helped me cut up my chicken. i fed her some chip dunked in gravy; she also demanded some chicken, meaning i had no choice but to spear her a slice.
-home time, PIG mum made me walk back to the car, then she tootled us home. i let erf sit sideways, coz i'm pretty sure it's the last car trip for today.
-back home, PIG mum made me walk back into the house. lol, it's only monday, and she's already done her dumb dumb thing for this week! yup, as she was making me walk into the house, the house alarm ripped off! lol... :p so she left me holding onto the chair while she raced out to shut the alarm off. :P
-anyways, after i publish this, i'll go check my email, then await chrissy's arrival - hopefully not too late! :p see you guys tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 1 error in my post this afternoon.

sunday post2D

good evening! the final events of this evening:
-i was chatting to eri (she received my letter!) and vicki when PIG mum decided to come boot me offline.
-so i went to the loo, no guesses as to who made who to do everything.
-then i settled down to watch ABC's 7pm news, read out by some woman. the most interesting surname i remember is 'spalding'. the parents both came over to yell at me about my posture, oh well.
-dear grandma rang when i was watching the news! she said that neither her nor little mickey had attended church this morning coz they were both feeling crook! >< but she says that i can ring her tonight. :)
-PIG mum made me walk over to the gobbling :P table for dinner: rice tonight, PIG mum handed me the chopsticks and ordered me to grab some vegies; i complied and got some beans and some little tong vegetable. i also had some egg and some fish. of course, PIG mum made poor ela hang onto the bowl as i ate, whatever.
-dinner was washed down with a mug of fruit and vegie juice, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-PIG mum made me walk back to the computer table, saying she was forcing me to bed at 8:30.
-but it's actually a little after 8:30 now! see, aunty margaret rang us. :) i yakked to her first, PIG mum's talking to her now.
-anyways, toms: your :P turn at 10:20. hopefully cara will bring morning tea and a banana, and i'll get thirty mins on the moto med again! then, hopes aren't up, but fingers, toes and all other appendages are crossed PIG mum will take me to naz for a kebab afterwards! lastly, chrissy's coming toms arvo. hopefully till 7pm, and hopefully she's in a better mood. anyways, hope everyone has a great week!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected one error in my post tonight.

sunday post3b

heylo! well, i've had my shower (and yes, 'twas barely lukewarm, how did you guess? :P) PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to scrub my hair thirty times, then my body 130 - 140-odd times. i dried and rekitted myself, PIG mum gleefully forcing poor ela to help me put my socks on. she finished with my left ted and laces, then made me walk back out to the computer table, where she kindly chopped me up a pear.
i'm just having a chat to eri on facebook right now - she received my letter! :) anyways, i'll go get my naruto manga update - actually, i'll see if i can listen to the news first. i'll try to come back tonight with the spam count for the weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^

sunday post3

good afternoon! TWFT topic is 'are you running from god? (1)' no spam count for the weekend from me yet (i'll put that up tonight, after dinner) and still no plodding total from em. >< anyways, what happened today?
-PIG mum poked me awake with "ten more mins." then she dug me up.
-i swung around to use the pot :P, but then felt like doing a stinky unspeakable, so much thanks to PIG mum who rolled me in, handed me a mug of water to drink -which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', of course - and helped me wipe afterwards. PIG mum got me kitted for the day; i stood up, and she made me walk out to the gobbling :P table.
breakfast was two weetbix. lol, at first, PIG mum 'forgot' to give me any honey; thanks to her who gave me roughly half a teaspoon when i asked her for some.
-PIG mum made me walk out to the car. we listened to so wing hong (don't think he's got an english name) all day, and PIG mum also poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day.
-dad tootled us off to church. PIG mum made me walk all the way down into the service hall. first, though, i had a loo trip.
-service started. PIG mum poor em to stand up for three songs, and since i didn't know any opportunities to sing harmony today, i just sang in my head.
-speaker today was shane mccarthy, and his sermon topic was 'hearing god in the midst of life'. i took notes (dunno why PIG mum 'forgot' my notebook today; she, of course, blames me for not being specific in telling her what to please help me pack. so i'll definitely remember to be more precise on saturday: my bible, my notebook, my clipboard and a pen. )while PIG mum spent the entire sermon (and afterwards! ><") tearing/wrenching poor ela's thumb out of her loosely clenched fist.
-no communion afterwards, so i had a yak to letty until PIG mum returned to take me to the loo. of course, she poor ela to hang onto the siderail. then she made me walk over to wash and dry both hands, before making me walk over to the morning tea tables (where i grabbed two corn chips and two something else ... chocolate bikkies? quarter-triangle sandwhiches? lol, i can't remember! finally, she made me walk over and take a seat in the morning tea area.
-thanks to dearest dad who came with a plastic cup of cordial for me. i sat and yakked to some ppl, like, uncle barry.
-time to head off, PIG mum made me walk back to the car, and dad tootled us off to plaza for lunch.
-dad couldn't see an underground disabled parking spot available, so he unloaded PIG mum and i first before reparking the car. so PIG mum made me walk up.
-PIG mum got me a yummy japanese green milk tea with pearl, dad came back with a chunk of KFC chicken for me. i also got half the bread roll spread with a little butter, and exactly sixteen chippies (i counted) dunked in potato and gravy. i remembered to tear a chunk off and give that to PIG mum; i'm still on the hunt for anyone else (besides me!) that MUST give their mum a chunk of whatever they're eating (besides my breakfast; PIG mum has said i'm allowed to eat that all myself.)
-lee sat with us, so we yakked away. a few randoms also came for a short chat, like uncle henry and aunty anna. oh! and i finally remembered to tell lams and bee that i'd miss their wedding. >< (but bee promised to take lotsa photos and share them up on facebook.)
-the parents made me walk back down to the car, and dad tootled us home. i let erf sit sideways for this trip, coz it was the last for today.
-a loo trip when i got home. no guesses as to who made who to do everything. then, PIG mum made me walk over to the computer switch, made me bend awkwardly to flick it on, then made me walk back to the computer desk, where i tootled online.
-i suppose when PIG mum wakes up from pig land :P she'll help gimmee a barely lukewarm shower. fingers are crossed that she won't force poor ela to scrub various parts of my body too much, but hey, i'm resigned to that. anyways, guess i'm off to grab some news articles now, will come back tonight with the spam count for the weekend and the rest of today's/tonight's and tomorrow's events.
cheers,
em. ^^

saturday post2D

good evening!
lol, i promise, this one's really the final post for today!
-PIG mum made me walk back to the gobbling :P table for dessert.
-i got a little bowl of mango sorbet! (i think that's how it's spelt; it's pronounced 'sorbey') thanks to PIG mum who poured me my nightly half cuppa of milk.
-PIG mum made me walk back to the computer table, and i'm chatting to a few ppl right now, ie. mikey, carrie, etc. anyways, hope to see everyone at church toms!
cheers,
em.^^

saturday post2C

good evening!
anyways, after PIG mum made me walk back over to the gobbling :P table, uncle slam started pouring white wine out for everyone, bar aunty a, coz she's allergic to alcohol! she says that if she consumes any, she'll come out all spotty. o_O
surprisingly, PIG mum didn't sit to my left and force poor ela to hang onto the bowl, she sat on my right! it was actually dad who sat on my left. and he let me keep ela on my lap, although i made sure she didn't sneak over to my right hand side.
-dinner: rice, lotsa bok choy and beans, a small chunk of fish (barramundi, i think?), a few slices of beef, a couple of chicken, and two small but juicy mushrooms.
-PIG mum made me walk back to the computer table. *sigh* even that was a struggle in itself. >< but i made it back to the computer table in the end; just yakking to joshels now.
-anyways, just church toms. this afternoon, i already asked PIG mum to please help me pack my bible bag; i'll definitely remember to ask once more tonight and one final time toms morning. fingers are honestly crossed for a two piece feed for lunch toms! i mean, i haven't had one since SEPTEMBER LAST YEAR!!!!!!!! >< unless naz's here toms, then i'll definitely go to him for a kebab toms. barring that, the parent's'll prolly make me eat cafe mi with them. i'm fine with that, but only if they'd only let me have a whole meal to myself! i mean, usually, dad orders two meals to share between the three of us, i'll end up getting, what? one bowl? one and a half bowls? of food and roughly half the cold milk tea. speaking of drinks, i can only pray that we aren't asked to stand up for worship toms, only that in all the years i've been attending this church (AIC and BCAC), i honestly can't recall a single time when we weren't asked to stand. so i guess that means i'll just pray we won't haveta stand up for too many songs, though i know better than that by now to even think god listens to my personal prayers. correction: i know he listens, he just doesn't bother answering. righteo, hope to see everyone at church toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

saturday post2B

good evening!
well, TWFT topic is 'forgive them, and let it go'. anyways, what happened after chrissy arrived?
-well, she seemed cranky, for some reason. prolly rolled out of bed the wrong way today.
-a nice warm shower - i washed my hair today.
-i had a tinkle before chrissy flipped the warm water off, one more when i was drying myself and one more when i was creaming myself. chrissy rekitted me.
-i made myself an afternoon cuppa, sweetened with a single spoonful of sugar.
-arvo tea was that cuppa - my last of the day to hold 'incorrectly' and a toasted cheese - too bad, onkly one slice, so it was ENTIRELY too thin - and ham sandwhich. when i asked her why she hadn't given me any mayo, she just shrugged and said, "you didn't come out and get it yourself. well, hello! i was in the laundry drying myself! it's kinda hard to walk out to get anything when i don't have my AFO on! (besides, i was still stark naked. :P)
-as always, i asked chrissy to please give ela a massage at 5:40, today, she refused to till almost 5:50. and she's definitely cranky today; she didn't choose a colour to paint ela today, and when i was reading, she snapped at me to stop drumming my fingers on the table.
-anyways, when chrissy left, PIG mum made me walk back to the computer table. i tootled online, as our guests started arriving - and shock and horror!! aunty a arrived ON TIME!! *faints* lol :P
-well, i've just finished listening to river 94.9 FM's news. guess dinner will be called soon. i'll try to come back tonight with the last few sentences about today, but anna's made dessert, so no promises! :P

saturday post2

GOOD AFTERNOON! WELL, CHRISSY SHOULD ARRIVE IN FIFTEEN OR SO MINUTES (IF SHE'S ON TIME :p) argh, sorry, shrieking! >< anyways, let's just see how far i can get:
-firstly, go em! who managed to swing herself once over to use the pot :P last night without falling to her death! o_O :p
-when PIG mum got up for work this morning, i swung myself over to use the pot :P once more. back in bed, i tucked ela's thumb gently back in for some more sleep, cuddled emperor then snored my head off. :P
-wow, tess came like fifteen minutes early today! i should mix her with chrissy, that should produce someone who comes exactly on time! :) :P
-so tess dug me up, got me kitted, Forced me to walk over to the laundry to brush my teeth. but eep, my awesome new electric toothbrush was too big to balance on my cup! ><" so i just rested it on the basin instead.
-tess Forced me to walk to the toilet. two tinkles later, she Forced me to walk over and flush the toilet. i clung to the towelrack; sidestepped over to wash and dry era, then tess Forced me to walk out to the gobbling :p table.
-breakfast was a cup of tea, white and two, my first cup of the day that i could hold 'incorrectly'. thanks to dad who cooked me some ham and eggs. tess gave that to me with a slice of toast. actually, she'd toasted two slices for me, but i said, "umm ... i only need one, tess." then she asked if she could please eat it; of course i said yes. i also had a pastry that tess made! yummy! actually, her daughter, carlem (who's nineteen, i think. or eighteen. :P)made it. elderberry pastry, i think she said it was.
-tess said i had to play wii for one hour, so she Forced me to walk over to the couch. i played (and won :P) one game of tennis, i also set a new PB in the bowling - 135! i also learned that two strikes is called a double strike, but three strikes, for some odd reason, is called a turkey!
-tess Forced me to walk back to the table, and ordered that i play fifteen minutes of scrabble with her. this time, i won. her daughter that died in her arms from epilepsy was called jamie-lynn, and apparently, her ex-hubby was abusive! o_O
-tess Forced me to walk to the toilet, just as vincent the physio arrived. >< i ended up doing a stinky unspeakable, wiping myself too.
-a session on the mats today, followed by a few forced laps. whatever, i survived.
-both dad and PIG mum passed me mugs of water and ordered me to drink. i'll admit, dad's mug i held 'correctly', but mum's, 'incorrectly'. dyunno why.
-lunch today: rice, lotsa greens (lol, i don't remember which! :P), some meat - BBQ pork, maybe? and a wee chunk of ham and egg. thanks to PIG mum who poured me a plain glass of milk, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'. oh, and one more cup to report. i held half a mug of plain milk 'incorrectly' when tessa fed me a tiny twix bar i think she found in the fridge. or brought over herself? dunno.
-PIG mum made me walk to the computer. i tootled online...
... and chrissy's just arrived. eight mins late, this time. anyways, i'll be back tonight to finish my post for today. aunty a, uncle slam and anna are all coming over for dinner tonight, cool! lol, but when i rang aunty a at 1:30pm in the arvo, she was ... sleeping. lol! :P
cheers,
em. ^^

-PIG mum made me walk out to the car. today, she made poor em to buckle her seatbelt all day, and we also listened to so wing hong (whose HEAPS better than andy hui! :P) all day.
-PIG mum drove us to your :P turn. she made me walk in. actually, i went to the loo first, meaning that she of course made poor ela to hang onto the bar. then she made me walk over to wash and dry era, before she made me walk to take a seat. she left me with some australian physiotherapist's journal and went off to repark the car.
-emma (i think that's her name?) came for me, Forced me to walk to a plinth. i started by doing all these sitting up straight exercises, followed by lying on my tummy and doing all these shoulder exercises. emma told me that her surname's kelly, just like linelle's!
-i sat up; PIG mum made ela on all these different exercises with the theraputty, etc. i bid joy a happy good morning. oh! on monday, she was telling me about some advanced wii game her son had gotten for his own kids for christmas! there's a camera for the game, which takes a picture of whatever's in front of the screen, goes 'bubble bubble bubble' (you should hear her say that, she's very cute! :P) and creates a 3D image of whatever's standing in front! PIG mum says she catches a taxi to and from your :P turn.
-and cool! today i got another half hour on the motomed!
-PIG mum took me to the loo once more before she tootled us off to plaza for lunch.
-too bad, naz wasn't here today. :( so we had sushi instead. i had two inari and half a teriyaki chicken roll; PIG mum had two and a half rolls - eww, one was called 'lobster salad'! :P we shared a 500 mL lipton's lemon iced tea.
-PIG mum tootled us off to koorong.
-she made me walk into the cafe (we've both forgotten the name, sorry; if i have the time toms, i'll see if i can find out the name)

-margaret and aunty anne arrived too (actually, aunty anne arrived first). we looked at the menus and ordered. i got a yummy chocolate thickshake, PIG mum had a mocha, i think two of the ladies had an affogato (sp?) it's the coffee with a scoop of icecream, BTW.
-so we yakked away. much thanks to PIG mum for not dissing me at all today.
-lol, patsy had a slice of rasberry cheesecake; she kept her hand protectively over it, until i told her, "umm ... patsy, i'm not gonna steal any, you know. :P" also thanks to aunty anne who shared with me a small chunk of her chicken and lettuce sandwhich.
-PIG mum tootled us home. chrissy was already waiting.
-a nice hot shower for me - i washed my hair today. actually, PIG mum came in and ordered me to drink a mug of water. i admit, i held that cup 'incorrectly'.

-we sat and read our books - i started my new book club novel!
-as always, i asked chrissy to please give ela a massage at 5;40, today, she meandered about and didn't start til 5:50!
-when she left, era told ela's thumb to pop back out, and i sat reading my book club novel. dunno why chrissy woukldn't turn on the television for me and let me listen to seven's news; she said PIG mum had refused me permission. PIG mum says it's coz it's some 'house rule'. argh, oh well.
-when PIG mum came downstairs, i asked her to please pass me a mug of water, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', then i went to the bathroom.
-tonight, PIG mum made me plod 7:10 on the treadmil. then she did the same herself (i counted). ela's thumb enjoyed her last seven minutes of creeping inside my loosely clenched fist. but don't worry, saturday's the happiest day for her. :)
-dinner tonight: rice, lotsa sugar-something (loaf? beet?) and a few wee chunks of beef. PIG mum wouldn't gimmee any fish coz it was two days old. :( oh well. of course, she made poor ela 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'.
-almost forgot! soccer drills for one minute, that scored an eleven out of ten and was bloody difficult coz it involved walking. then, piano for roughly eight mins, that scored a seven out of ten and i felt hungry! :P)
-argh, but getting up from the table was a bloody chore in itself. >< but i made it to the computer desk at the end. :)
-toms; tessa's coming. argh. but oh well. and i honestly bloody hope that vincent the physio won't show up! argh, PIG mum says he's coming at 12:30. whatever, i'm sure i'll survive. and chrissy's back in the arvo, hopefully, not too late!

thursday post 4

good evening! TWFT topic is 'good enough!' and still no plodding total from em. >< anyways, today's events?
- when dearest dad woke up this morning, em swung herself around to use the pot :P once, then cuddled emperor (speaking of teddy bears, we're now ONE FORTNIGHT into the new year, and poor bear bear is EXTREMELY sulky to not be sleeping with me yet!), tucked ela's thumb back in along with era's and snored my head off. :P
-when PIG mum dug me up, i swung myself over to use the pot :P once more, but felt like doing to PIG mum who rolled me in, handed me a mug of water to drink - which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', of course - i washed and dried both hands, then got kitted for the day back in my room.
-PIG mum made me walk out to the kitchen. i poured myself half a mug of plain milk (meaning poor ela was forced to hold onto the milk carton, then the cup, then the milk carton again, while era had to de-lid and re-lid the cap 'correctly'. but i admit i drank that cup 'incorrectly' while PIG mum was hanging out the washing.
-PIG mum made me walk out to the car. today she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and we also listened to chris tomlin all day.
-PIG mum tootled us off to the runcorn BBQ chinese restaurant. she gleefully Forced (second time) me to walk in.
-i had my favourite dish again, that BBQ pork (aka char siu) omelette with rice, while PIG mum had some seafood combination with noodles. i passed her one of my slices of little tong vegetable, we also traded some other stuff. i drank a lipton's mango tea, while PIG mum drank a lemon lime and bitter. she didn't like it, though.
-PIG mum made me walk back to the car, and tootled us approx. thirty seconds to coles. :P she kindly popped out to check if up wasavailable, and it was! so she made me walk all around the store with her, picking up this and that.
-but gloria was here! so she gave me a big hug. :) i told her i'd be away late jan to mid feb; she said she'd be away too, in may, i think. PIG mum says june, thanks.
-PIG mum tootled us home, i tootled online after she'd forced me to plod on the treadmill for seven minutes.
-when karen arrived, i headed into the laundry for my shower - hairwash today.
-arvo tea: i made myself a cup of tea, white and two, my first cup of the day i could hold 'incorrectly'. karen chopped me up a pear (i shared one slice with her, of course) and i finished off my BBQ pork omelette with rice. i recommended it enough to karen that she decided to try it herself tonight, along with some smoked salmon for dinner! and BTW, evil matthew's in trouble coz he attacked a house guest of hers the other day. :P
-karen gave ela a really long massage today - and tried a sensory test on me too! i was bring painted blue (the same blue as the coles persona box) with white spots and swirls today.
-karen took me once to the loo before she left. dad tootled me off to the logan north library for my once a month book club!
-awesome, go esther! the ladies were all getting up to make themselves a cuppa, when esther walked over to me with a steaming mug. "white and two, right?" she asked, setting a steaming mug in front of me. i also nabbed myself two choc chip cookies, a rectangular white cream bikkie and a round one with white cream and pink lining, i think.
-we all just yakked about the book. much thanks to carol who came back with an atlas for me after i confessed, "umm ... sorry, i don't know where the yemen is; i only studied six months of the subject in grade eight! :P" i think yemen is actually under saudi arabia, BTW. and did you know, the average life expectancy of a yemeni (or yemenese? lol, i dunno) is only sixty!
-dad took me to the loo once before we left. funny thing was, someone had locked the disabled toilets!
-anyways, dad tootled us off to the hyperdome. but eep, he rang PIG mum whilst on the highway! "dad, gimmee the phone!" i squwaked at him. "that's illegal - you're driving!" "shut up.' he said. luckily, no-one caught dad. phew.
-dinner tonight for me was half a flayva wrap, a chicken roll, and approx. fifteen chippies. i also drank an orange juice.
-parents made me walk back down to the car, and dad tootled us home. seeing as it was the last trip of the night, i let erf sit sideways.
-toms: physio at your :p turn at 10:20. then, hopefully we can go to naz for a kebab, before we're meeting patsy, aunty anne and (possibly) margaret at the coffee shop at koorong. hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

thursday post 3

good evening! TWFT topic is 'good enough', and still no plodding total from em. >,righteo, here's my usual thursday rant:
-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. no pull-up pants. >< no teds, either. 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. ><

-one more thing: PIG mum has recently decided to censor me even MORE and not let me put my usual 9PLEASE! GO NOW!...) sentence after the word made, so, just so yopu know, that's what i'm referring to.

good evening! did you know, chrissy ended up coming FORTY-FIVE MINS LATE!!!!! but she told us it was due to some really bad smash somewhere on the highway?
anyways, first things first:
-soccer drills for eight minutes. i felt full (come on, i'd just had lunch! :P) and that scored a seven out of ten. it's still quite frustrating that elf doesn't know how to kick sideways to the left.

-then, mat work for eleven minutes. that scored a five out of ten, and thanks to daniel who included one or two 'bedtime stories' while i was 'sleeping' on the mats! :P
-that was followed by piano for ten minutes ... or was that sixteen? lol, sorry, my handwriting's too messy to decipher! >< that scored a seven out of ten also, and i felt a lil amused coz daniel's taught me to just lift ela up and poke my pointer out to play the note. but i guess my middle finger must've been demanding some attention also! coz after my pointer had hit the F note, my third crept out to hit the G note! :P
-finally, pictionary for fifteen mins. again, that scored a 1 out of ten, coz goodness knows it's not hard to play a game! :P
-anyways, when daniel left, i tootled online to await chrissy's arrival.
-when she FINALLY arrived, i headed into the laundry for my nice hot shower - i washed my hair today.
-i had a tinkle before chrissy flipped the water off, another when i was drying myself, and one more when i was getting creamed. chrissy rekitted me, then Forced me to walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-arvo tea: a toasted cheese - too bad, only one slice, so it was ENTIRELY too thin - ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into two rectangles, and a cup of tea, sweetened with a single spoonful of honey, my official cup of the day i could hold 'incorrectly'.
-so we read our novels. thanks to chrissy who snapped me off a wee chunk of her kit kat chunky and handed it to me, saying, "sorry for being so late today." even better, she poured me another mug of milk - another cup i could hold 'incorrectly'.
-chrissy gave ela a massage, and went overtime, too! i think she said i was being painted fluro (sp?) yellow today.
-when she left, i listened to sevens news and read the book mrs. dent had given me.
-PIG mum came downstairs to plod on the treadmill, before making me to walk 6:50 on the treadmill, before a loo trip (no guesses as to who made who to do everything).
-dinner tonight: rice, lotsa little tong vegetable, and some battered fish with a little mayo. of course, PIG mum made poor ela hang onto the bowl as i ate, whatever. dinner was washed down with a mug of fruit and vege juice, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'. then PIG mum made me walk back online.
-toms: we're going present shopping for dearest dad's birthday! i want to buy him the DVD 'up'! i think PIG mum said she wanted to watch it ... then, third time lucky! we're going to try to have lunch at that runcorn chinese BBQ restaurant! fingers crossed it'll finally be open! last of all, book club toms night! yeah~~
cheers,
em. ^^

GOOD AFTERNOON! twft TOPIC IS 'TIME, MAKE THE MOST OUT OF IT!' (sorry, shrieking. ><) and still no plodding total from em. >< anyways, chrissy should arrive in thirty mins or so (if she's on time :P) so let's get started on today's events!
-firstly, thanks to PIG mum who passed me a mug of water - which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', of course - last night before i hit pig land, coz i was that thirsty! i guess they put lotsa salt into my bowl of noodles last night.
-when dearest dad got up this morning, i swung myself around to use the pot :P once. back in bed, i tucked ela's little thumb in for some more sleep, then cuddled emperor egg :P and snored my head off. :P
-later, when PIG mum poked me up, i swung myself over to use the pot :P again. only i felt like doing a stinky unspeakable, so much thanks to PIG mum who wheeled me in, 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, pushed myself over the loo for one more tinkle, then PIG mum rolled me back to my room.
-i got kitted, before PIG mum made me walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-breakfast was two yummy weetbix with half a dab of honey.
-PIG mum made me walk out to the car. today, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and we also listened to ... what's his name? that christian singer that aunty katherine gave me his disc to for my birthday/last christmas. chris tomlin, i think. yeah, we listened to him all day.
-PIG mum made me walk into vedelago. i took a seat and browsed a woman's weekly magazine and waited for my go.
-only i needed to pee! so PIG mum told helen, who kindly let us out the side and back, to the disabled toilet. of course, there being a bar there, PIG mum of course forced poor em to dak herself. then, i washed and dried both hands as PIG mum used the loo herself.
-helen let us back in, and i got to sit in an armchair! complete safety, for thirty minutes. :)seems like i only get this luxury once a week, here at lesley's. oh well.
-so i started bell ringing. during that half hour, i sang both my favourite and old second favourite songs in my head once, opening my eyes for all the important numbers. think i rang 1748 bells; trust PIG mum to jeer at me that i'd managed more last week. but lesley says i have her permission to be brain dead for the rest of the day! :P
-anyways, PIG mum took me to the loo once at maccas. again, no guesses as to who forced who to do the dakking. then i went to wash and dry both hands, before taking a seat at the table.
-PIG mum returned with a bacon and egg wrap with a small orange juice for me. i think this must be the FORTH week in a row where she's refused to buy me one whole hash brown for me to eat. ai, whatever. as long as she's happy/satisfied, i'm sure i'll survive.
-so we ate away, and browsed the day's courier mail.
-time to get going, PIG mum made me walk out to the car and tootled me off to unique physiotherapy for my torture session. ><
-she made me walk in; vincent the physio met us at the door and Forced me to walk the rest of the way in.
-i did: lotsa ela exercises, then just walking from one plinth to the other. i finished on just standing on elf ten times; i had to hold erf up in the air.
-vincent the physio Forced me to walk out. i sat down; thanks to the elderly gentleman sitting beside me (he can walk, lucky man) who passed me a woman's weekly magazine to browse.
-PIG mum came for me, made me walk back out to the car.
-surprisingly, she said yes to taking me out for lunch at that chinese BBQ restaurant on warrigal road! i wonder, did she already know in advance that it'd already be closed? but then she refused to buy me a pork salad roll for lunch, and just tootled us home. i let erf sit sideways coz this was my last car trip for the day.
-back home, a loo trip. no guesses as to who gleefully forced who to do everything.
-lunch was two yummy battered fish fillets with almost as much mayo as i would've liked. too bad at PIG mum who came and snatched the squeezy bottle away. meaniepoo. :( also, the milk i drank - 'incorrectly', BTW, took lotsa effort! that is, PIG mum made me to walk to the fridge, get the milk out - i'd better be holding the carton 'correctly', too!- then era held onto the mug 'correctly' as PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to hang onto the carton, then era had to open the milk 'correctly', then she had to hold onto the mug 'correctly', then PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to pour out my cup of milk. as if that wasn't already enough, PIG mum continued to force poor ela to hang onto the carton, then, after i'd walked back to the fridge and opened the door, PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to place the milk carton back inside the fridge. then, she made walk back to the benchtop, grab the milk - 'correctly', again - then walk back to the gobbling :P table. still, i haven't a clue what i did to piss off PIG mum, she not only SLAPPED me REALLY HARD across the face, she started on her usual tirade, threatening to force me out of the house, etc. etc. etc. but i finally got to sit down and enjoy my lunch. :)
-grr ... chrissy's already seven minutes late. ><
-then, daniel wan arrived! he kindly let me quickly gobble up the rest of my lunch, before we started work. first, the soccer drills. that went for ... hmm ... i've forgotten, but i've written that down, so i'll grab them tonight then come back online to finish today's blog post, okies?
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. argh, chrissy's seventeen minutes late now - that's a record, even for her!
