thursday post 22

good afternoon! firstly, TWFT topic's 'make allowance(2)', secondly, em's been hard @ work plodding 1562 steps today (i divided pedro II's total by four, coz last like, he'd given me, like, 800 steps! and thirdly, em's still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY MINUTES online!!! but i've recorded that down in my spreadsheet already, so all's good. :) righteo, today's events?
-i awoke this morning, swung myself over to use the pot :P coz 'twas still dark outside, i was unsure if i could takethe evil hand splint off yet. i considered yelling upstairs to PIG mum, but decided against that, coz it'd prolly just piss her off. then i heard dad banging around in the kitchen, and i knew 'twas late enough to free poor ela. so i released her, tossed the straps helter-skelter, then went back to sleep with bear bear.
-FREAKING HELL!!!>< ALICE FROM coda JUST RANG TO SAY THAT NGAN'S CAR HAS BROKEN DOWN AND SHE CAN'T TAKE ME OUT TO GARBO TONIGHT!!! woah, sorry, shrieking. >< but i am PISSED! >< but alice says that ngan can take me out to garbo next thursday to make up for it, and i can attend toastmasters next tuesday, too. doesn't stop me from being pissed, though. >< but where was i?
-PIG mum poked me awake later with "fifteen more minutes.' when she came back inside, i swung myself over to the pot :P for two tinkles and she got me kitted, before gleefully FORCING :( me to walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-i took one small sip from the required mug of water 'incorrectly', then breakfast was three yummy weetbix with a wee drizzle of honey.
-PIG mum popped me my drugs :P afterwards. one cranberry, one bilberry, one fish oil and one garlic. i got to take those with one mouthful of water holding the cup 'incorrectly', coz PIG mum was occupied with getting her own drugs. :P
-PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the car. she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and for the drive to UQ for physio, we listened to that out-of-tune, nasally, wannabe singer andy hui. :P i just closed my eyes and had a silent chat to percy the angel/saint, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i needed to get through today.
-PIG mum gleefully FORCED me to walk up to the toilets on arrival, gleefully forcing me to dak myself. one tinkle later, when i stood back up, she gleefully forced me to un-dak myself. then she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to wash and dry both hands and gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the waiting area, where sam and angana were already waiting. :) sadly, PIG mum proved herself to be the heartless bitch i've often thought she was by one; refusing to pass me a gossip mag before she flounced off to pay, and two: by telling angana she couldn't pass me one either! >< but the three of us just sat and chatted about acupuncture - hey, sam has it, too!
-some new fella called doug came for me. he kindly lent me a walk belt and a stick, meaning that when he walked me inside, erf was able to step past elf with every step. :)
-once i sat down on some plinth, nick came over too. we started on some trunk activities; like, me leaning forward then dropping a ball into some basket.
-then they spread out the mats and i did some kneeling work. the knees protested, so much thanks to karen who stuck a nice soft pillow underneath them. :)
-i ended with some work @ the parallel bars. BTW, doug doesn't have a brother named 'dig'. :P
-PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk all the way back down to the 4WD, and tootled us off for lunch. i changed the disc to weatlife's 'cheek to cheek'. :P we ate @ the same place we did last week, that fish and chip shp, only PIG mum was a great big meaniepoo who refused to buy any chips. :( but scallops and half a chunk of battered fish with some tartare sauce was yummy, too. :) and we both slurped a chocolate milkshake. :) i rang dearest dad, who said he was having lunch @ uncle yuk tai's office - and he said he'd shown them the one-eyed minion photo, too! so uncle yuk tai'll keep a look out for me, too. :) actually, PIG mum said she'd wandered over to toysRus while i was waiting for our lunch/ringing dad, but the shop person told PIG mum that the minions weren't available yet but to check again closer to christmas.
-after lunch, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk back to 4WD, and she tootled us around the corner to the good health/price pharmacy/medical centre.
-PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk inside. she also gleefully forced me to dak myself for one long tinkle, gleefully forced me to un-dak myself after i stood back up, and even gleefully FORCED :( me to walk around and flush the loo. "because if mr. hall takes you to visit mr. ward, you'll haveta be able to do all that yourself.'
-PIG mum gleefully FORCED me to walk over to wash and dry both hands, then gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the waiting room and take a seat. thanks to her who tossed me a new idea gossip mag.
-when dr. lin was ready for me, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk inside. then dr. lin turned me into a pincushion! o_O >< :P even scarier, she says she once told her daughter (who's studying first year engineering) to go eat sh*t! o_O :P
-pincushion practice finished, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk back out to the car and tootled us home. i let erf sit sideways for the last car trip for today.
-PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk inside, and i plopped online.
-then alice rang, said ngan's car had broken down, and that nobody was free to take me out to garbo tonight!!! >< but she promises that ngan/someone else can take me out to garbo next week. :)
-well, i've got just under one hour before the PISSY two hours that gives PIG mum that much pleasure to restrict me to is done, so i think i'll go check my e-mail and read some news now. not sure if i can come back online tonight; PIG mum said sth about asking dearest dad to take me out to garbo instead? i hope we can go out. :)
-toms; prolly physio @ your:P turn. fingers crossed for 1. morning tea and two bikkies/one banana and 2. that we can go see naz for a kebab afterwards! dunno who's showering me in the arvo, but uni fellowship doesn't start till 7:45pm. righteo, hope everyone has a smashing conclusion to their week toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
