TUESDAY POST9

good afternoon! well, i came online @ 12:55pm (think PIG mum's forgotten about feeding me lunch, oh well :P) so fingers crossed i can stay online till 4pm, when karen arrives! however, i'm still calculating my internet time, and after today, i'm still owed TWO HOURS and FIFTY-FOUR MINUTES! and yes, i'll continue to PROMISE to try my HARDEST and get back EVERY SINGLE MINUTE THAT I'M OWED!!
-anyways, today i've been hard @ work plodding 2470 steps. righteo, today's events?
-this morning, when dearest dad got up for work, i swung myself over to use the pot :P once. back in bed, i released poor ela from her prison, tucked her back gently inside for some much-needed sleep, then snored my head off :P with bear bear until PIG mum came inside to poke me awake with "ten more minutes.'
-when she came back inside, i swung myself over to use the pot :P once more. then, PIG mum got me kitted, already delivering me a harangue on sth or other. ai, whatever... i'm used to it. ><
-PIG mum made me walk out to the gobbling :P table, where she forced me to drink one mug of water 'correctly'. then, breakfast was one slice of toast with some butter and marmalade. i drank one mug of milo 'incorrectly'.
-PIG mum made me walk out to the car. today, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all today, but she also allowed me to listen to my car CD all day.
-PIG mum made me walk into vedelago. helen directed us straight inside.
-lesley soon came inside, stuck things to my head with mashed potato :P(i've said before, it's really called 'conductive paste' yeah?) and i started dinging bells! 1952 or 1953 today.
-when i finished, i asked lesley if i could please have a piece of paper and a pen to scrawl a farewell card to helen, who's retiring in three weeks. see, PIG mum's decided that i'm not to ring the bells anymore coz it's very exy and she'd much rather send her money back to hong kong and look after grandma. but i wrote down my home address and e-mail in the card, so hopefully, we'll stay in touch. :) actually, when we left, i gave her a hug, ela also coming up to hug helen, who's really nice. :)
-PIG mum tootled us off to maccas and made me walk into the loo. she gleefully forced me to dak myself, then, after one tinkle, i went to wash both hands and dry era (the hand dryer was to my right-hand side). when PIG mum came over to wash her own hands, she noticed and immediately grabbed ela and held her under the dryer, too. hey, no biggie.
-PIG mum made me walk back to the car and tootled me off for a torture session with vincent the physio. ><
-she made me walk inside and i took a seat. originally, i'd taken a famous mag to read, but PIG mum took the mag off me while tearing/wrenching poor ela's thumb out of her loosely clenched fist, so i gave up and grabbed an OK! mag to read instead, promising ela i'd tuck her poor thumb back inside whenever i got the chance.
-my torture session with vincent the bloody physio today: sitting on that sideless eolly wheely chair and reaching out to touch his hand with ela. thankfully, no falls.
-not sure why PIG mum 1. refused to buy me two chicken sushi rolls for lunch 2. refused to take me to the runcorn chinese BBQ restaurant for lunch or 3. refused even to buy me a pork salad roll for lunch. she just tootled us home. erf's happy trip. :)
-i went to the loo when we got home; of course, PIG mum gleefully forced me to dak myself. but thanks to her who passed me two mugs of water - both of whom i was very careful to hold 'correctly' - and i did a stinky unspeakable.
-PIG mum was outside hanging the washing. when she came back, she made me walk over to wash and dry both hands before making me walk over to the computer, where i tootled online after she hit me with the eye gunk. :P
-well, tonight karen's taking me to toastmasters! i'm rostered for warmup (gee, thanks, leonard - not! :P) and tonight's topic being 'winter', i think my question'll be "what do you do to escape winter's harsh and cold temperature?" i'll explain how i'm a cold frog, and the nurse putting three jumpers on me during winter in the mornings. :P wonder where we'll head for dinner - maccas, big rooster (karen always calls 'red rooster' 'big rooster' :P), KFC. i don't mind; they're all yummy places. :)
-one more thing: last night PIG mum made me walk into the laundry to wash my hair. she for some reason lost her temper with me and flounced away, so i sang roughly 1/3 of my second favourite song softly out aloud and also had three tinkles. but she came back eventually and i completed my nightly routine, before hitting the sack. :P
cheers,
em. ^^
