monday post 5b

good evening! em's final plodding total now stands @ 8397. i know that these days, it does seem that i'm plodding more than usual; i think the pedometer loves me dearly and gives me lots more steps! so, tonight, when i'm over the loo, i'll check my pedometer. if it says i've walked 400 steps, i'll know to halve my final plodding total when i post toms, coz i've counted that the walk back from the kitchen to the bathroom to the loo only takes about 200 steps. anyways, continuing on with where i left off:
-when dearest dad woke up for work this morning, em swung herself over to use the pot :P once. back in bed, i freed poor ela from her prison, then snored my head off with bear bear and emperor. bear bear, the cheeky thing, likes to call fragrant pig, the present from letty, 'stinky pig'! lol, well, fair enough, the little tyke does reek sth dreadful. :p
-PIG mum dug me up, got me kitted, then made me walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-breakfast was a plain mug of milk - which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', of course, and a yummy sausage bun.
-PIG mum made me walk to the car. she poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, then she tootled us off to UQ, listening to westlife's 'where we are'.
-stinky :p nelson came downstairs for me - margaret had rung PIG mum earlier that there'd be no parking available, but she'd call a student down to take me up when we arrived.
-i used the bathroom once, before kirsten (obviously, i wasn't going to let some boy wait for me inside the loo! :P kirsten just waited outside till i was ready) took me inside.
-nelson started me off with some rolling; thankfully, the plinth was only single-sized, not the big long one BIRU has, so i didn't get dizzy.
-then he got some other student to help me with sit-to-stands, weightshifting and stepping work. lol, nelson's so polite. "stick your chest out, emily," he instructs. when i laugh @ him, "nelson, katrina just orders, "emily, stick your BOOBS! out!" he tries, "emily, stick your um, boobs out?" lol. but i feel old now; i'm older than both nelson, kirsten and the other physio student - lisa? lol, i feel ancient ... :p
-nelson and the female phydio student walked me back out to the car. thanks to nelson who helped me buckle my seatbelt. then, PIG mum changed the disc to ronan keating's 'stay', and tootled us off to the buranda medical clinic.
-actually, PIG mum me to walk to sushi 1 for lunch first. i ordered a teriyaki (lol, immature PIG mum calls that 'terrible yucky chicken' :P) and she got some sorta spicy noodles. we also shared a bottle of plain green tea and a bottle of liptons lemon iced tea.
-then, PIG mum made me walk to the buranda medical clinic. i sat down with a new idea mag, before dr. lin came and turned me into a pincushion! o_O :P
-PIG mum took me to the loo once before she tootled us home. sadly, the handrail is on the left hand side, meaning PIG mum poor ela to hang onto the rail during and after my tinkle. poor ela. :( but i also let erf sit sideways for my last trip of the day.
-PIG mum made me walk to the computer switch, me to bend down awkwardly to flick it on, before making me walk to the computer.
-i tootled online till chrissy came, only seven minutes today. :P
-a nice hot shower - i washed my hair today.
-dried, creamed, rekitted.
-arvo tea was my second yummy sausage bun. i also made myself a cup of tea, sweetened with one teaspoon of sugar, my cup of the day to hold 'incorrectly'.
-then i read my book club novel, and helped chrissy draft a letter asking for a promotion.
-chrissy gave ela a massage before she left.
-i sat and watched seven's news until PIG mum came down, ready to poor em to plod on the treadmill for twenty minutes. i said i'd get my toasted feet :P first, so she made me to walk up to the treadmill and back again to sit on the sofa. it's difficult for me, coz when the back of my thighs touches sth, i haveta sit down. meaning PIG mum didn't make me try to do that once, twice, or three times; not four, five or six times, or even seven times! she made me do it a IGHT insane times before she was satisfied enough. ai ... ><
-actually, i went for a number two first, before PIG mum made me plod twenty minutes on the treadmill. dunno why she won't let me count the time left i haveta plod out aloud (she says coz there's a timer already flashing) but i went and got my toasted feet :P as PIG mum claimed to do the same herself. well, i believe her. :)
-i didn't feel like dinner, so PIG mum just made me walk over to the switch, made me bend awkwardly to flick the switch on (i'd already done it earlier, though) and i walked back online.
-toms: 11am off to your :P turn with linelle! i haven't seen her for ages! then off to see phil @ 2:30; gotta remember to bring my mobile so i can show him my pincushion photos! best of all, 400th toastmaster's meeting toms night! so there'll be pizza; evelyn says to just ask PIG mum for some cash so we can grab some dessert afterwards.
cheers,
em. ^^
