saturday post3

good evening! since horrid and nasty PIG mum snatched my pedometer away yesterday, i can only say that, from 7:20pm tonight, i was hard at work plodding 209 steps. but hopefully i'll have a more substantial total to log in toms! anyways, let's start with last night's events first:
-dinner was rice, lotsa greens and some meat (meaning i've forgotten what they both were, sorry! ><") of course, PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela hang onto the bowl while i ate, whatever. 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 to the loo once before we set out. no guesses as to who encouraged who to do everything, of course.
-dad tootled us off to UF 2010! happy erf got to sit sideways coz it was dark already. :)
-parents made me walk in; then they rocked off.
-dr. lee helped me walk/stagger/hobble/limp out to the side, where worship was held. i sang the harmony to both songs chosen.
-we were fed tonight, awesome! and it wasn't from cafe mi, but cafe U! :P
-basically, we sat down at tables, were fed things like fruit salad, red bean paste buns, chocolate fondue (marshmallows, rockmelon, strawberries, etc.), etc. we also asked each other questions from the sheets provided, like, "if you were invisible, where would you go?" "run into the male loos!" was my response. :P
-but dad forgot to pick me up! ><" in the end, smoky jie jie rang him before he awoke and drove to collect me. thanks to uncle kelvin cham, josh and julz who all waited with me until dad arrived.
-home, the usual nightly routine, zzz. :P
-this morning, PIG mum released poor ela from her prison,; i cuddled bear bear and emperor and snored my head off until tess arrived.
-she encouraged me to walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth, encouraged me to walk to the loo. i did a stinky unspeakable, wiping myself too. tess came back, encouraged me to walk over to wash and dry era, and encouraged me to walk out to the gobbling table.
-thanks to tess who'd brought me breakfast! yumm sesame chicken in basmati rice (apparently, basmati rice is healthier than normal rice?) which was great and tasty, then simply delicious when tess sprinkled a bit of soya sauce over the top. i also had a cuppa, white and two.
-tess lent me her book to read, 'finding the right words'. i think she bought the book from koorong; it's about finding the right words to say to someone who's dealing with grief.
-tess also encouraged me to play scrabble with her for thirty minutes. i was lucky enough to win, this time. then tess gave ela a massage, said she was painting me yellow.
-tess took me to the loo once more when vincent the physio arrived. argh, my torture session for the day. >< argh. :( but i survived ... ai ... i think. >,
-dad invited vincent the physio to eat some watermelon; i also chomped a few slices myself.
-lunch was rice ... lol, and again, i've forgotten! >< PIG mum encouraged poor ela to hold the bowl while i ate, whatever.
-then PIG mum encouraged me to sit forward and read my book club novel until she kicked me off to bed.
-i didn't sleep; just sang both my favourite and old second-favourite songs in my head. actually, i opened my eyes and softly sang all the important numbers out aloud.
-chrissy came around ten minutes late. she flopped on my bed and told me that at her last job, she had to look after some silly dog that'd eaten the carpet! ><"
-chrissy rolled me to the laundry in my showerchair, then encouraged me to switch to the wheeless showerchair.
-but a nice hot shower - i washed my hair today.
-i had a tinkle just before chrissy flipped the water off, one more when i was creaming myself, one when i was drying myself, and a last one when chrissy was jamming my AFO on. she encouraged me to walk back out to the gobbling :P table.
-arvo tea was a yummy sausage bun plus a cuppa sweetened with a single spoonful of sugar. then i read my bookclub novel; hopefully, i can finish it before next thursday! (bookclub night)
-i asked chrissy to please give ela a massage at 5:40, as always, she didn't until 5:50. then i got painted lemon today.
-chrissy left me reading my book club novel; PIG mum came downstairs to encourage me to plod on the treadmill - for TWENTY MINUTES! >< then i sat down and counted her doing twenty also. dunno why dad wouldn't let me count out aloud, no biggie. i stuck elf and erf in the foot massage and just enjoyed the warmth. toasted feet for dinner, anyone? :P
-PIG mum encouraged me to walk over to the table for dinner. rice tonight, with lotsa choy sum, two yummy juice mushrooms and three tiny slices of BBQ pork. of course, PIG mum encouraged poor ela to 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'.
-PIG mum encouraged me to walk to the loo. she also encouraged me to do everything else before i tootled online.
-toms: church. hopefully, we won't be told to stand for too many songs! >, bible study afterwards, then hopefully lunch at foodcourt. toms arvo and night, i plsn to 1. get my naruto fix :P and 2. check out the beyond blue website. hope to see most of yous at church toms!
cheers,
em. :(
