monday post 53

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 2321 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'bring out the best in others' and thirdly, i'm still owed FIFTY-THREE MINUTES online after carol leaves!! righteo, events for today?
-i used the pot :P twice last night and once more when dearest dad left for work just before 8am. then i cuddled florence and returned to sleep before PIG mum came and poked me awake with "fifteen more minutes."
-wqhen she came back inside, i swung myself over to the pot :P for two more tinkles. PIG mum got me kitted, then gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the kitchen, where she gleefully forced poor ela to open the tap five times before finally letting me sit down.
-breakfast was one slice of toast, which i buttered and jammed :P myself. zero thanks to PIG mum who gleefully forced poor ela to brace against the plate while era spread; for that, i VERY DELIBERATELY held my yummy mug of warm horlicks 'incorrectly'.
-PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the 4WD and tootled me off to logan TAFE to attend that useless voluntary tutoring course she's gleefully forcing me to take. and by 'useless' i don't mean the course itself is useless, no! i mean it's pointless for me to be studying this course coz i'm only interested in finding PAID employment!
-today, browyn covered aspects needed for a good tutor, and also about cultural differences.
-morning tea was special! i got like two pieces of dried banana, and four green grapes that had been sprinkled with PEPPER! 'was quite yummy, surprisingly!
-before we left, PIG mum took me once to the loo. of course, she gleefully forced poor em to dak herself. then i went over to wash both hands when PIG mum used the loo; i didn't dare let era open and close the tap quickly lotsa times; that can wait till thursday.
-PIG mum tootled me off to buy a yummy pork salad roll; she had one herself too.
-back home, i went and did a stinky unspeakable. zero thanks to horrid PIG mum who gleefully forced me to both dak and un-dak myself.
-lunch was my yummy pork salad roll. :) big thanks to PIG mum who mixed me a yummy chocolate nesquik to wash down lunch with.
-one more loo trip before seeing vincent the bloody physio. of course, PIG mum gleefully forced me to dak myself. wonder why she lemme off with only washing era afterwards, though?
-ela = AWESOME. not only did she manage to pronate flat down for fifteen seconds, she even earned an immunity by lifting herself when vincent the physio restuck my kakashi jacket on! :D
-but he's still an EVIL man, coz we were talking about him going to his new workplace in calamvale, and i asked him, "will you hire any receptionists or the like to work for you?" the evil man just smirked. "i wouldn't hire you," he declared, 'your stupid left arm would knock over and break everything!" elf kicked him good for being so MEAN to poor ela! ><"
-kat jie jie also rang vincent whilst i was there! they were talking, and i was just getting ela to pronate and hold, and i thought she'd done it right for ages, and interrupted vincent, "come on, is that good enough yet?!" he laughed, said, "yeah, you're done." and i burst into loud cheers! kat jie jie must've heard and asked vincent who was making that noise, coz he said, "oh, it's just emily." i took the opportunity to call out rather loudly in the direction of his phone, "hello, kat jie jie!" to which i heard her laugh and call "hello!" back. :)
-PIG mum tootled us home. i went once more to the loo before returning online. of course, she gleefully forced me to do everything.
-carol should arrive to gimme a shower in about five minutes. *sigh* the horrid parents have decided to restrict me to only fruit. :( but hopefully carol'll be able to use the nail polish remover stuff that PIG mum bought while i was being tortured by vincent the physio and get the blue nail polish off my nails! it's all coming off, anyway!
-fingers crossed i can come back online tonight, else it's just physio @ UQ for me toms. can't remember who's coming to shower me toms, either, but toastmasters isn't on @ night.
-carol's just arrived; bbl!
cheers,
em. ^^

sunday post53d

one final good evening! em's final, final plodding total for sunday stands @ sth a lil over 1794 and the spam count for the weekend remains five. righteo, final, final events for tonight?
-i went to the loo once more @ 8:30. zero thanks to PIG mum who couldn't even me bothered watching me walk safely there and back, but luckily, i didn't fall. but it's a sad day when you realise that your mother values her daughter's safety less than she values the importance of washing the dishes. :(
-toms: *sigh* PIG mum's gleefully forcing me to attend that stupid volunteer tutoring course @ TAFE. but hopefully i can buy a pork salad roill and a chocolate milk and a custard danish home to have lunch with dad, coz in the arvo i've got a torture session with vincent the bloody physio. >< but carol's coming to shower me in the arvo, and fingers crossed she can fix poor hungry! XD righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^

sunday post53c

good evening again! em's new plodding total now stands @ sth slightly over 1703 and the new spam count for the weekend's five. righteo, continuing events?
-dinner was rice, lotsa normal lettuce (or sth like that), 1/4 a hard-boiled egg, several wee chunks of beef and two chunks of chicken. dinner was washed down with one mug of warm rice green tea, hopefully sweetened with one teaspoonful of honey.
-then i went and did a stinky unspeakable. of course, horrid PIG mum gleefully forced me to dak myself.

-there wasn't any communion afterwards; PIG mum just took me to the loo once afterwards, then dad tootled us home for lunch. *sigh* mother finds some peverse pleasure from jeering @ me that i've got no friends anymore; has she ever asked herself WHY i've got no friends?! it's prolly coz she and dad won't take me out to foodcourt for lunch, and when we do go, dad insists we eat @ cafe mi, meaning i don't get any social interaction with anybody! ><
-the parents invited lee over for lunch. we ate hotdogs minus the sausage. XD meaning there were slices of beef and chicken, tomato and even pineapple! lucky lee got to eat two; PIG mum restricted me to only one. :( that i washed down with a plain mug of milk.
-afterwards, i went to the loo; of course PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything.
-then i plopped online till my visitors came! nicole and horace are my last visitors from SHINE. :( they're not coming anymore, coz the mandarin congregation's starting. :( hopefully the EM will still send some ppl to come visit me, else i'm planning to really get started on my memoirs!
-we just sang the westlife kareoke DVD that horace bought for me from some asian country! it contains twenty-something songs!nicole took me once to the loo just after 4pm and once more before they left @ 4:40.
-well, it's just 5pm now. dunno if i should ring aunty nga now or wait till 5:30. prolly should wait.
-fingers crossed i can come back online after dinner! else it's just that bloody stupid TAFE course that PIG mum's gleefully forcing me to take, followed by a torture session with vincent the bloody physio in the afternoon. >< carol's coming to shower me in the arvo; hopefully she can fix poor hungry! XD also fingers crossed that PIG mum will lemme buy a pork salad roll and a chocolate milk back home for lunch with him, and that PIG mum will lemme nuy a custard danish for arvo tea with carol, who's coming to shower me.
cheers,
em. ^^

-one loo trip before dad drove us to church. of course PIG mum gleefully forced me to dak myself, but i also spent several seconds leaning against the side rail and having having a quick and quiet chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i'd need to get through today, giving all the happiness and all the satisfaction to PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied.

-i had one tinkle before sherraine - who's from trinidad and lives @ mackenzie - flipped the nice water off, she dried me, i got creamed and had another tinkle. sherraine rekitted me, and i had one more tinkle when she was doing elf's AFO straps and one more when sherraine was drying my glasses for me. after i rinsed the floor once, i held sherraine's hand and walked to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea, where *sigh* dad really did restrict me to just fruit. :( but i had one yummy pear and several strawberries and also drank one mug of tea, sweetened with one spoonful of honey, 'incorrectly'.
-sherraine gave ela a massage for about twenty-five minutes, painting her tangerine with yellow spots today. i say 'about' because she kept stopping and i had to keep asking, "can you please continue?" XD
-sherraine took me once more to the loo before leaving exactly two hours after she'd arrived. lol, she'd have snuck away earlier, but i (1) asked her to please help me put my jumper on, then (2) dropped my pen on the floor to get another thirty seconds. XD she left precisely @ 5:57, i signed her off. she's having fish and chips for dinner tonight, and her hubby's also trinidadian like her! he works with computers, BTW.

saturday post52

good afternoon! firstly, apologies for the previous post, which should've been 'friday' post, not 'saturday' post. anyways, today i've been hard @ work plodding 727 steps (a pissy amount, yes, but i've stayed @ home and haven't gone out!) and TWFT topic's 'living without regret'. righteo, events for today?
-i used the pot :P twice last night and once more when the garage door opened for PIG mum to go to work. then i spent the ten minutes till 8am having a mostly silent chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i'd need to get through today, giving all the happiness and all the satisfaction to PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied. then florence and i cuddled and returned to sleep, me using the pot :P once more around 9:15 and again shortly before tess arrived.
-she gave me fifteen more minutes - i only ask for ten, but it seems like i always get fifteen! :D then got me up and kitted. i didn't use the pot :P again coz i already felt the urge for a stinky unspeakable!
-we held hands and walked to the bathroom. thanks to tess who squirted me some toothpaste.
-after that, i went to the loo. thanks to tess who passed me one mug of water - which i held 'incorrectly', of course - and i did a stinky unspeakable.
-afterwards, tess led meover to wash and dry era, then we held hands and walked out to the gobbling :P table together.
-thanks to dad who fried some eggs for breakfast, and tess who put that with one slice of cheese. i wonder ... are we outta ham? i hope not!
-after breakfast, i played with tessa's laptop! it can't access the internet, sadly, but i still typed her out a nice message with word. :) tess gave ela a massage for about thirty minutes - i finally remember why she only ever uses her hands and not the therabrush or the paintbrush: she says her hands give better stimulation.
-around midday, tess made me one mug of milo, another one to hold 'incorrectly'. actually, not milo, but nesquik. dunno where dad's hidden the milo. :( she also made me fried rice!
-when dad came home, tess took me once more to the loo. i asked for another mug of water, then did my second stinky unspeakable for today.
-tess gave me about 3/4 a bowl of fried rice, plus TWO hard boiled eggs! :D lol, when dad came inside and complained that one egg was already too much for me, i thought the better of saying i'd eaten two! XD
-after lunch, when PIG mum came home, she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the computer table and i tootled online.
-actually, about forty minutes ago, i went to the toilet again. zero thanks to awful PIG mum who couldn't even be bothered with watching her only daughter walking safely there and back coz she was too busy inhaling her lunch. XD but luckily, i didn't fall.
-awesome, now i've got like 1.5 hours for myself!
-sherraine's coming to shower me this arvo - gosh, i hope dad'll feed me arvo tea and not restrict me to only fruit!
-church cell group's coming over tonight for a BBQ, do dunno if i'll get the chance to return online. if not, it's only church toms, nothing special. fingers crossed i can hit plaza for lunch afterwards, and that i'll get some visitors in the arvo! otherwise, hope i can spend a couple of hours online writing my memoir!
cheers,
em. ^

-i enjoyed my sushi roll, but was pissed when PIG mum tipped out almost all my soya sauce! ><
-aunty frances took me once more to the loo before she left. she's got a really busy week coming up!
-PIG mum gleefully forced me offline soon afterwards. first, she forced poor em to stretch poor elf's ankle for like twenty minutes. somtimes i wonder: does she know how much PAIN she's putting me through every time she gleefully forces me to do that?! >-after that, she gleefully forced poor ela to stretch for five minutes. lol, for this one, i suspect her main reason's that she can gleefully force me to weight shift always to the left.
-lastly, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to plod on the bloody treadmill for twenty minutes.
-dinner was called afterwards: not rice, but pasta in white sauce tonight! with lotsa yummy cauliflower and carrot, and some soup beef and chicken. lol, maybe pork, too! dinner was washed down with one mug of rice green tea, hopefully sweetened with one teaspoonful of honey, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly' coz PIG mum didn't gleefully force poor ela to hold onto the bowl while i ate.
-one more loo trip for me before i tootled online. of course, horrid PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything.
-she's gleefully forcing me off to bed @ 9:15pm tonight. earlier than the usual 9:30, but she's gotta work toms, so fair enough.
-toms: tess comes @ 10am, but i won't haveta write any questions for jack coz he can't come toms.
-so hopefully i can get a couple of good hours online: get my naruto fix, read lotsa news articles and get started on my memoir! righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^

friday post 52

good afternoon! friday takes 4th place for having one whole year's worth of posts, BTW. wednesday came first, thursday came second and monday came third. anyways, today i've been hard @ work plodding 2774 steps, TWFT topic's "do you know why you're living?", i'm still owed ONE HOUR and FIFTEEN MINUTES online after jenny leaves and the spam count for the week's thirteen. righteo, let's start off with last night's events first!
-actually, i've just typed up some post about that @ http://embluekirby.blogspot.com/2011/07/hotpot.html. please read. :) righteo, today's events?
-i used the pot :P once last night, and once more when dearest dad left for work around 8am. then i cuddled florence and successfully returned to sleep before PIG mum poked me with "fifteen more minutes."
-after she returned, i swung myself over to the pot :P for one tinkle. afterwards, PIG mum got me kitted, then gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the kitchen, where she gleefully forced poor ela to open the tap like six times before finally letting me sit.
-breakfast was one small bowl of yummy porridge with one slice of toast. zero thanks to PIG mum who gleefully forced poor ela to hold onto the the toast before ordering era to tear. but she tore it into big chunks, and after PIG mum had gone upstairs to change, combined with the spoon to tear the bread into more bite-sized, manageable pieces.
-after breakfast, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the 4WD. of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and we also listened to some of jacky cheung's old discs all day, too.
-PIG mum tootled us off to UQ. i spent most of the trip with both eyes closed, having a silent chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i'd need to get through today, giving all the happiness and all the satisfaction to PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied.
-i went to the loo once upon arrival. of course, horrid PIG mum gleefully forced me to dak myself. when she went herself, i washed both hands, however, was stupid and let era open and close the taps quickly five times. of course, PIG mum noticed and gleefully forced poor ela to open the taps five times back. in the future, i must remember to only do it once, and save the time for era to open the tap lotsa times whenever i go out to garbo or toastmasters.
-@ the waiting room, of course horrid PIG mum gleefully flounced off without bothering to pass me a gossip mag first, but luckily, there was an elderly couple also sitting in the waiting room. i only had to ask, and the old lady kindly passed me the new idea magazine i was browsing last week. :) that i read until nick came for me with a walkbelt, and we walked into the gym together.
-i started with some weightbearing practice for ela, followed by a lil sit-to-stand practice. next, i plodded several laps around the parallel bars and finally ended with sitting on the fat gym ball. i don't really like that, coz it doesn't seem stable. actually, i also had to just stand for three minutes. that's hardest for me, just standing. i do most things sitting down now, and can walk short distances when necessary, but just standing ... argh. ><
-when we left, PIG mum took me once more to the loo, then 'twas off to see naz for a spud! :)
-actually, we bumped into lotsa ppl @ plaza! there was uncle NSW and aunty jo, mikey, aunty brenda and uncle patrick! actually, i even swapped drinks with uncle NSW and tried drinking lemon water for the first time! it's got a lil sugar, so sweet and yum. :)
-after lunch, PIG mum tootled us home. i went to the loo once first; of course she gleefully forced me to do everything. then i tootled online until jenny and ningbo arrived.
-ningbo's chinese! i amused her with the few phrases i can utter, then we all went over to the gobbling :P table and had a yak. of course, PIG mum dissed me like mad, but hey, that's expected. :(
-after they left, i returned online until aunty frances came to gimme a shower - hairwash today. also thanks to aunty frances who helped me rinse out my hair, leaving era free to hold my stupid right eye shut. and i finally remembered to write about this: my shower gel has an awesome MINT flavour! :D
-i had one tinkle before aunty frances flipped the nice hot water off, she dried me and i had another tinkle. after i got creamed, aunty frances rekitted me; i had one more tinkle when she was putting my knickers on, and one last when she was doing elf's AFO straps.
-we held hands and walked to the gobbling :P table. aunty frances dried my hair, then i yelled upstairs for PIG mum please to gimme my sushi roll.
-gotta go, fingers crossed i can bbl!

XD she also cooked me lotsa carrots, peas, and a nissan two minute noodle. i drank all that down with another mug of horlicks, this time cold, but still held 'incorrectly'.

-two speeches tonight: georgina's icebreaker, sam's about biking to work, then jeff did an educational about projecting your voice.
-and i got chosen for table topics!
-afterwards, sharon - who hadn't really left; she heard my table topic! and i'm down as warmup master for next meeting! sharon took me to the loo once more and i let era open the tap lotsa times again.
-only trouble, we got lost and couldn't find sharon's car! finding it took thirty minutes. ><
-but we made it home just before 9:30; PIG mum had saved some dinner for me - fish and ... pork? and tofu with rice. she poured me milk too, so i presume i can just go yell goodnite to dad then go brush my teeth.
-toms: think it's just aunty wendy coming. dunno when, nor do i know what PIG mum'll do, who'll she pester to shout her out for lunch. all i do know is that i hope she buys metwo sushi rolls back for arvo tea with carol! :D then, toms night, think dad's taking me to janice's house for girls night @ workers fellowship. hmm ... wonder will PIG mum gimme icecream tonight, then? righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

tuesday post53

good afternoon! firstly, TWFT topic's "tell 'the whole truth'" and secondly, em's been hard @ work plodding 1527 steps today. yay, i just passed 1.5 grand. :) anyways, events for today?
-i used the pot :P three times last night and once more when dearest dad left for work @ 7:50am. then i successfully fell back asleep until PIG mum came and poked me with "fifteen more minutes."
-lol, but i got just over twenty before she came back! XD anyways, i swung myself over to the pot :P for one tinkle, just swing myself back into bed when i realised i felt like doing a stinky unspeakable.
-PIG mum got me kitted, then gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the kitchen, where she gleefully forced poor ela to turn on and off the tap five times before finally letting me sit down.
-yay, PIG mum made chocolate porridge for breakfast! sadly, she gleefully forced poor ela to hold onto my piece of toast while era tore it into the bowl, but era ripped as quick as she could, and into big pieces, then after PIG mum released poor ela, combined with the spoon to tear the toast into more bite-sized, manageable pieces. meaning i VERY DELIBERATELY held the 1/3 cup of milk mother kindly poured me 'incorrectly'.
-then i went and did my stinky unspeakable. zero thanks to PIG mum who both gleefully forced me to dak and gleefully forced me to un-dak myself, but i also leaned against the side rail and had had a silent chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i'd need to get through today, giving all the happiness and all the satisfaction to PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied.
-after PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to wash and dry both hands and gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the 4WD, she tootled me off to UQ. of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day; we also listened to leslie cheung all day too. me, i just spent the trip from the highway all the way to UQ continuing and finishing my silent chat to percy.
-when we arrived, i went once to the loo and again, PIG mum gleefully forced me to dak myself.
-afterwards, she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to wash and dry both hands, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the waiting room, where she was her usual horrid self who flounced off to pay and pester margaret without handing me a gossip mag first.
-surprisingly, today no-one wandered down the corridor who could pass a magazine to me!
-PIG mum hit me with the eyegoo as my new physio student came - jake? lol, i've forgotten. ><" he lent me a walkbelt, spiteful PIG mum refused me a walking stick, then i held his hand and walked in.
-lotsa work for ela today! :) sliding, reaching, gripping.
-jake also got this pharmacy student to help us out; his name was nick. i was slightly curious: nick and black hair (like asians) but looked aussie! i asked him, "where are you from?" nick laughed, and said his dad was chinese but his mum was aussie.
-with karen's help, they sat me onto this gym ball, and for the rest of my session, i just practised sitting balance.
-when we left, PIG mum tootled us straight home, refusing my request that we have lunch @ the runcorn chinese BBQ restaurant. >< she was protesting a headache, but i was more concerned about eft - i'm not getting any dinner tonight, now! >< unless she orders dad to take her out for dinner, where she'll set aside maybe half a bowl for me, but in that case, i'll just get grumpy coz she again gets to eat out more times than i do! i've said before, i'm not demanding that she lemme out for dinner every night of the bloody week, i'm just asking her to keep things FAIR, like, if she gets to eat out 'x' times per week, please also lemme have that many times also! ><
-anyways, back home, i had my microwave meal! yummy creamy chicken cabonara pasta. :) too bad PIG mum reckons they give you cancer and she hasn't lemme eat one for MONTHS. >< guess i'll just haveta put one into my xmas wishlist for this year. XD
-after lunch, i happily read my book club novel for just over twenty minutes. then i used the loo once (of course, horrid PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything) before plopping online for my most important two hours of the day. :)
-cathy's taking me to toastmasters tonight! :D
-toms: i'm sleeping in, till aunty wendy comes and minds me for three hours. hopefully PIG mum's feeling better by then and can get me two sushi rolls for arvo tea with carol. :) hopefully see you tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. yay, forty-five minutes for me now. :)

-rice tonight, with lotsa yummy broccoli, lotsa yummy cauliflower, two small dried scallops, and four wee pieces of yummy chicken, which i of course saved for last.
-dinner was washed down with one mug of yummy rice green tea, which was hopefully sweetened with one teaspoonful of honey. but i was very careful to drink it 'correctly', because PIG mum hadn't gleefully forced poor ela to hang onto the bowl while i ate, just squashed her down onto the table pronated.
-i went to the loo once more after dinner; of course PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything.
-but i'm needing the loo again in just over thirty minutes, @ 8pm. cya then!
cheers,

-i was still immersed in the NRL news when carol arrived, six minutes early. lol, first thing she did was peer @ the clock, say, "it's only 3:54, meaning i can leave @ 5:54 tonight." XD

-i had one tinkle before carol flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. carol rekitted me, and i had one last tinkle when carol was doing elf's AFO straps.
-carol Forced me to walk to the gobbling :P table, where she blew-dry my hair before Forcing me to walk to the freezer for the bread, Forced me to walk to the fridge for the milk, cheese, ham and mayo, Forced me to walk over to the benchtop to make my toastie - and she only allowed me one slice of cheese so 'twas ENTIRELY too thin - but i got mayo, meaning this week's all satisfied! :) i squirted carol a :o( and we both had a laugh about alice not letting me squirt short words like POO, BUM and WEE. XD carol also made me a cup of tea, white and two, my cup for today to hold 'incorrectly'.
-after i finished arvo tea, carol gave ela a massage for about thirty-five minutes, painting her white chocolate with gravy dots today. or sth like that. XD she's having some tuna and rice dish for dinner tonight, and will be back on wednesday.
-carol took me once more to the loo, before leaving early, coz she came early.

monday post 52

good afternoon! now monday's reached one year of posts too! wednesday came first, thursday came second, and now it's monday! XD anyways, today em's been hard @ work plodding somewhat more 1681 steps. that's inaccurate, coz last night, when i reached the loo, pedro had only given me TEN steps! ><" even with PIG mum's huge steps, she still takes like, fifty! TWFT topic's 'use your time wisely' and em's still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY MINUTES online after i get home from a torture session with vincent the bloody physio!! righteo, today's events?
-i used the pot :P once last night and once more when dearest dad left for work. immediately afterwards, PIG mum came and poked me with "fifteen more minutes."
-when she came back inside, i swung myself over to the pot :P for three tinkles. PIG mum got me kitted, then gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the kitchen, where she gleefully forced poor ela to open and close the tap five times before finally letting me sit for breakfast.
-PIG mum made yummy porridge! sadly, she had to gleefully force poor ela to hold the bread while era tore that into chunks and dropped it into the bowl, but era tore quickly, then combined with my mouth to rip the bread into more bite-sized, manageable pieces.
-after breakfast, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the 4WD. of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and we also listened to lesley cheung all day, too.
-PIG mum tootled us down to logan TAFE. she's forcing me to attend some volunteer tutor course, even though i've made it ABUNDANTLY clear to her that i'm only interested in finding PAID work! sheesh ...
-anyways, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk into the training room. this lady called browyn met us and told us to take a seat.
-she basically just explained all these acronyms to us and stressed that this was a VOLUNTEER tutor course. meaning i just wanna get outta here! i'm interested in finding a PAID job, not in volunteering! ><
-first, i filled out pages and pages of forms with my details. browyn laughed and apologised if she was giving us RSI (repetitive strain injury) XD
-during break time, PIG mum took me once to the loo. zero thanks to PIG mum who gleefully forced me to dak myself. then i went over to wash both hands while she went herself.
-for the second half, browyn just outlined some of the things we'd do, like, going to the library, etc.

sunday post52b

good evening! em's new plodding total for sunday now stands @ 2602 and the spam count for the weekend's still six. righteo, events for today?
-i used the pot :P once last night, and once more for three tinkles after PIG mum gave me 'fifteen more minutes."
-after the usual morning routine (i.e. PIG mum gleefully forcing poor ela to turn the tap on and off five times), i settled down to breakfast: one slice of toast with a wee smear of jam. because PIG mum doesn't use butter, she presumes i don't, either. :(
-one loo trip before dad tootled us off to church and uncle chong took bible study.
-after bible study, another loo trip then into the main hall for service.
-poor em had to stand for four songs today; i sang the harmony for three.
-speaker today was uncle pastor chong, and there was communion afterwards. i think we have communion on the fourth sunday of every month?
-after service, another loo trip then dad tootled us off to plaza. :)
-lunch was, unsurprisingly, @ cafe mi again. i got: almost one bowl asian meal, almost one bowl western meal, most of the cold milk tea and most of the cream soup from café mi, plus most of the packet of small fries from hungry jacks. uncle tyrone joined us.
-after lunch, dad tootled us home. one loo trip for me, then i plopped online till kwany and christy jie came.
-we played pictionary - without drawing! instead, there's all these picture cards and you've gotta use them to make up the word.
-afterwards, we went up to mt. cootha to meet pole and fi! i went once to the loo first, and kwany nicely backed up his car onto the driveway. PIG mum hit me with the eyegoo first, so much thanks to her who helped me with my seatbelt coz everything was blurry.
-kwany tootled us up to mt. cootha! he walked behind me and i walked down several steps to where pole and fiona were chatting over a bowl of chips.
-so we all sat, ate chips and talked about random things, while the sky slowly darkened and the city's lights came on.
-home time, kwany walked behind me and i tried to follow christy jie back to her car, although 'twas a lil difficult coz 'twas really dark. when we got to christy's car, i tried buckling my seatbelt, but 'twas too dark to see, so christy tried, only she couldn't see either! meaning, @ the end, kwany did it. XD
-kwany tootled me home first. i sat @ the gobbling table and waited for dinner, which was rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, and a few wee chunks of yummy chicken. thanks to PIG mum who didn't gleefully force poor ela to hang onto the bowl while i ate; for that, i made sure i held onto my warm mug of rice green tea, hopefully sweetened with one small spoonful of honey, 'correctly'.
-one more loo trip before i returned online. of course, horrid PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything.
-toms: no UQ physio, coz awful PIG mum's booked me in for some torture session with vincent the bloody physio instead! >< but hopefully dad'll lemme buy a pork salad roll and a chocolate milk back home for lunch with him, coz i think in the arvo PIG mum's forcing me to attend some orientation course thing for that volunteer thing she's forcing me to do. *sigh* i've said before; i'm only interested in finding PAID work! >< but, if after six months doing this, i still haven't found a paid job, i'm leaving. in the arvo, carol's coming to shower me; lol, hungry's happy, @ least. righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^

saturday post51c

one final good evening! em's final, final plodding total for saturday now stands @ sth a lil over 2680. righteo, final, final events for tonight?
-before she left, tess took me to the loo once more. sadly, dad arrived home in time to restrict how much fried rice tess gave me, but a heaped half bowl's still better that what i'd normally get just from him.
-then i went online to type out questions for jack, before spending like thirty minutes online for myself.
-i used the loo once before jack came along for tutoring. and he's doing so well, i've even set him two chapters for next week! twenty-six and twenty-seven. :)
-even better, aunty ming brought me this coffee bun from papa rotti! :D
-she led me back online and i surfed the net for about another ten minutes, coz sharon arrived like twenty minutes early!
-i held her hand and walked into the bathroom for my nice hot shower - hairwash today. thanks to sharon who rinsed out my hair for me, leaving era free to hold my stupid right eye shut.
-i had one tinkle before sharon flipped off the nice hot water. she dried me, i got creamed and had another tinkle. sharon rekitted me, and i had one last tinkle when she was doing elf's AFO straps. then, after she'd rinsed the floor once for me, we held hands and walked out to the gobbling :P table together.
-yeah, sharon fed me the perfect arvo tea! that's thrice this month already! :D the cup of tea, white and two, was my cup for today to drink 'incorrectly'. sharon had a cup too, although she takes hers without both milk and sugar.
-after i finished, sharon gave ela a massage, painting her dark green with light green spots. she also reminded me to e-mail alice on wednesday and make sure that i'll get a carer on saturday. she's definitely back next saturday, though.
-sharon took me once to the loo for two tinkles before i signed her off and she left @ 5:40pm. she's got an overnight shift tonight, and is an EN, studying to become a registered nurse!
-when PIG mum awoke from pigland, it was to immediately and gleefully FORCE :( poor em to plod on the bloody treadmill for twenty minutes. then i sat and got my toasted feet while she claimed to plod her own twenty minutes.
-after getting the feet rekitted, she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over and practise piano for about twenty minutes. i don't really mind, coz piano's sth i've always loved doing. still do. :)
-dinner tonight: a lil of tessa's fried rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower and one chunk of fish. much thanks to PIG mum who only pronated on the table and didn't gleefully force her to hold onto the bowl; for that, i very carefully held my yummy mug of rice green tea, hopefully sweetened with one teaspoonful of honey, 'correctly'.
-PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk back to the computer, and i tootled online.
-toms: nothing special/exciting, just church. bible study's @ 9am, service @ like 11am? i'll skip morning tea, most likely; goodness knows it's not worth the long hike down to the secondary hall for two bikkies and one plastic mug of cordial only to face another hike back up.
-fingers crossed we can have lunch @ plaza; like i said, three ppl sharing two meals @ cafe mi's better than going home!
-also fingers crossed that i'll get some visitors toms! i know SHINE fellowship have said they're gonna stop soon, coz the mandarin service's starting soon, but hopefully i'll still get some visitors from EM! but if not, well, i'm looking forward to spending a few hours online and really getting started on my memoirs! anyways, hoping to see everyone @ church toms!cheers,
em. ^^

-tessa came @ 10am, gave me ten more minutes (well, actually she gave me 14:30, then i successfully begged for thirty seconds more to make it an even fifteen :P). then i used the pot :P once more for two tinkles before she got me kitted and led me to the bathroom to brush my teeth.
-after that, she led me to the toilet. i asked her please for one mug of water - my first to hold 'incorrectly', then i did a stinky unspeakable.
-tessa came back when i was done, led me over to wash and dry era, then we held hands and walked out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast. i wrote out chapter twenty-five questions for jack while she put together breakfast for me.
-thanks to dad who fried some ham and eggs for breakfast, and tess who even added one slice of cheese! 'twas yummy~
-after breakfast, tess started massaging ela. she says she only uses her hands and not the therabrush coz her hands provide better stimulation.
-around midday, tess took me to the loo once more, then made me one cup of warm milo, sweetened with a lil honey, my third for today to hold '
-sh*t, PIG mum's gonna gleefully FORCE :( me to walk on the bloody treadmill. >< fingers crossed i can bbl!

friday post 51

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 3218 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'when someone stumbles, help them (3)'; thirdly, the spam count for the week's sixteen and lastly, em's still owed THIRTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after aunty frances leaves!! righteo, let's start off with last night's events first!
-lol, i keep forgetting her name! ><" but she came and gave me a shower before we headed out to not garbo, but carindale!
-before we hit the library, though, she tootled me off to see some restaurants nearby. "don't have dinner @ foodcourt," she advised me, "there's too many ppl there; we won't find a seat anywhere." but i told her that PIG mum had only given me thirty bucks, not enough to eat @ any restaurant and still have enough left over to buy the groceries PIG mum wanted. i asked instead was there any KFC shops nearby instead.
-anyways, i pushed sparkless into the library, that picked feist's 'jimmy the hand' and happily read for about forty-five minutes until whatshername :P came back and drove us off to the local KFC.
-i pushed sparkless and walked into KFC then gratefully sat down. i ate my usual with one difference: instead of a kookies and kream krusher, i got a mint choc krusher! yum! D the carer just got five chicken wings and a pepsi, although she nabbed two chips without permision! XD

-after dinner, we went back to carindale. we browsed through jayjays, although i didn't find any tees worth buying. we also went to pick'n'pay (not woolies) and got PIG mum's onions for her.
-last stop: maccas/hungry jacks for a soft serve. :) i was slightly disappointed that carindale didn't have a breadtop like garden city or plaza coz i wanted to get myself a sausage bun for breakfast toms! but hey.
whatsername :P tootled us home and i went through the usual nightly routine before sleeping. zero thanks to spiteful PIG mum who gleefully forced poor ela to hold onto the toothbrush for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON even though i'd already squirted the toothpaste! >< but era already opened the tap lotsa and lotsa times that night, so oh well.
-friday: i used the pot :P several times last night and once more when dearest dad left for work. then i fell back asleep with florence until PIG mum poked me with "fifteen more minutes."
-when she came back inside, elf proudly showed PIG mum that she'd kept her sock on ALL night! :D
-i used the pot :P once more for three tinkles, PIG mum got me kitted, then she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the kitchen, where she gleefully forced poor ela to turn on the tap five times before letting me sit.
-i buttered and jammed :P my own slice of bread for breakfast. zero thanks to PIG mum who gleefully forced poor ela to brace against the plate while era spread; for that, i VERY DELIBERATELY held my yummy warm mug of horlicks 'incorrectly'.
-after popping my drugs :P -one fish oil, one bilberry, one cranberry and one garlic - PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the 4WD. of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and we continued to listen to the phantom of the opera soundtrack all day, too.
-PIG mum tootled me off to UQ for physio. i spent the entire trip with my eyes closed and having a silent chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i'd need to get through today, giving all the happiness and all the satisfaction to PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied, opening my eyes only once somewhere along coro drive to tell PIG mum, "naz's wife's called hannah! i finally remember!" see, PIG mum had been chucking some full-blown cow @ me all morning. ><
-one toilet trip for me when we arrived; of course horrid PIG mum gleefully forced me to dak myself. then, as usual, she flounced off to pay and to annoy poor margaret without passing me a gossip mag to browse first. luckily, some nice young lady wandered past about four minutes later and handed me the new idea mag that i've been browsing these past few weeks.
-kat came for me with a walkbelt; i gave her the cherry ripe then we walked into the gym together.
-lotsa sit-to-stands and posture work today. kat came over, said, "good! do some more!" i shook my head frantically @ her, to which she replied, "oh, shut up, you." that was when i protested, "i hadn't said anything until you told me to shut up!" XD
-after taking me to the loo once more (and again gleefully forcing me to dak myself) PIG mum tootled me off to see naz for a kebab! i'd wanted a burrito, but she said there wasn't any time; prolly why she also only gave me water to drink.
-actually, before that, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk all the way down to just before k-mart, where she brought me a new pair of fitover sunnies. poor me was left leaning against the display cabinet for almost eight minutes while PIG mum yakked to the saleslady.
-and PIG mum said there wasn't any time for a burrito! :( just a plain boring kebab for me. but 'twas still yummy. :) also, i rang dearest dad - whop said he was all down the gold coast!
-PIG mum took me once to the loo before tootling me off to vincent the bloody physios for a torture session. >< *sigh* she gave up acupuncture just for a physio session ... >< well, hello! i've ALREADY HAD a physio session today, i think having acupuncture's more important!! nevermind, poor stupid ela'll just haveta stand all stiff till next friday. :(
-but ela did so well today, i think i even earned an immunity! :D
-lol, but vincent the physio's got a really bloodshot eye! ><" i asked him had he been rubbing it, and he said, "no, i told the optom that it was coz i had to see YOU." hmph, the evil man!
-afterwards, PIG mum tootled us home; dad was home too! :D
-i went and did a stinky unspeakable, of course horrid PIG mum gleefully forced me to dak myself.
-but i'm online now. :) aunty frances should come gimme a shower soon - and i've even got arvo tea today! some kinda bikkie?
-lol, and PIG mum's just wandered along to spy on my post and say she un-dakked me, that i didn't do that myself. well, if you read carefully, i didn't write that she gleefully forced me to un-dak myself, only dak! sheesh. >< and she's just wandered over to gimme more crap. >< *sigh* that's alright, i'm gonna watch naruto soon; that'd drown out her rantings. :)

-i fell asleep really quickly last night! :D i was only counting somewhere in the 100s~
-this morning, i got up practically immediately after dad left for work. one potty trip, PIG mum got me kitted, then she gleefully FORCED :( Forced me to walk to the bathroom to rinse my mouth and wash my hands before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the 4WD, all the while reading me some rant and threatening not to take me to see cass and kim @ maccas. :S
-but luckily, she calmed down and we met kim and cass @ the entrance!
-i'd looked up the maccas menu last night and already decided on the benedict bagel, coz i love eggs benedict! PIG mum ordered the same as me, presumably coz she was too lazy to find sth else. :P cassie, the vegetarian, ate a bacon and egg mcmuffin minus the bacon, while kim got some muffin with peanuts.
-we just yakked away happily. huge thanks to PIG mum who managed to curb her oft-vile tongue and leave dearest dad, anyone else and i undissed. :) cass told me that poor ollie was put down several months back, but he was a very old dog - i remember playing with him back when cass and i attended shailer park primary school together!
-horrid PIG mum refused to buy me a chicken caesar salad home for lunch with aunty wendy, saying we had already spent enough money eating out this morning. :( then she refused to take me to the loo once more before we left; i knew that was coz she wanted to gleefully force me to dak myself when we got home. :(
-home, a loo trip where PIG mum did of course gleefully force me to dak myself.
-but when aunty wendy came, she brought me some lunch! :D i ate three triangular pastries with sth inside - cheese? one juicy pear and one mug of chocolate nesquik.
-after lunch, aunty wendy took me to the loo. she kindly passed me one mug of water - my second to hold 'incorrectly', then i did a stinky unspeakable. after i'd finished, aunty wendy guided me over to wash and dry era, before we held hands and walked back to the gobbling :P table together.
-afterwards, aunty wendy gave ela a massage for one good hour. i rang dearest dad first, who was @ west end eating his lunch, then i rang CODA and found out that cathy was taking me out to garbo toms night.
-aunty wendy took me once more to the loo before leaving. i plopped online.
-yay, i've got like thirty minutes to read some news articles! :)
-fingers crossed i can come back online tonight, else i'm joining workers fellowship tonight for dinner @ kwany's place!
-toms, i've got writers group! :D fingers crossed i can get a yummy chicken katsudon and a chocolate thickshake made with low-fat milk for lunch afterwards~
-not sure if i've got a torture session with vincent the bloody physio afterwards ... :S didn't PIG mum say sth about taking me along so she can take some side vision eye test? well, she says she can't ask aunty anne to mind me for like two hours coz she's already pestered her last week. lol, did aunty anne once tell her that PIG mum could only bother hewr once every fortnight?

-PIG mum woke up from pigland. :P she immediately forced me offline and gleefully forced poor elf to stretch for just under twenty minutes. i don't think she realises how much PAIN she lives me in whenever she forces me to do that! ><
-afterwards, dinner was rice, lotsa little tong vegetable, three tiny chunks of yummy chicken, one small slice of fish and like 1/6 a slice of tofu.
-dinner was washed down with one mug of rice green tea, hopefully sweetened with one teaspoonful of honey. i drank that 'incorrectly' coz dad had spent much of dinner ranting @ me. what for, i dunno - i mean, i already refrained from asking if the fish i was eating tonight was 'ling fish'! >< but like i tell myself, i can definitely rise above god's hatred towards me. i'll go to bed tonight singing of my COMPLETE HATRED of an unfaithful god.
-one more loo trip before i popped online.
-toms: we're seeing cass and kim @ maccas for breakfast toms! :D after i finish this post, i'll check out the maccas website and see if they've still got that benedict bagel i really wanna try! :)
-aunty wendy's coming to mind me for three hours afterwards. dunno what PIG mum'll be doing.
-but whatever she does, fingers crossed that she can buy me back two sushi rolls i can have for arvo tea with carol!
-also must remember to ask PIG mum please for ice-cream tonight, coz i won't get home till late both toms and thursday.
-also, i just went once more to the loo. of course, horrid PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything, meaning my real final, final plodding total for tuesday now stands @ 2704. righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

-i had one tinkle before sherraine flipped the nice hot water off, before i got dried, creamed and rekitted.
-i'd realised that i felt like doing another stinky unspeakable when i was getting creamed, and just went straight over to the loo after sherraine had me rekitted. she passed me one mug of water - my first to hold 'incorrectly', then i did a stinky unspeakable.
-afterwards, i went over to wash and dry era, then i held sherraine's hand and walked to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea.
-zero thanks to horrid PIG mum who'd already told sherraine that i was only allowed one slice of cheese - ENTIRELY too thin - but @ least sherraine gave me some mayo, meaning this week's all satisfied, yay! again, horrid PIG mum had already told sherraine that i was only allowed one teaspoonful of honey with my tea, but sherraine kindly gave me a heaped teaspoonful. :) that was my cup for today to hold 'incorrectly', BTW.
-after i'd finished, sherraine gave ela a massage for about twenty-five minutes, after i showed her how the therabrush was used.
-we just talked. sherraine told me that she's got three girls - one's turning twenty-five this year and works with quadriplegics, one's nineteen and works in business, and her youngest daughter's eleven, attending st. something's near garbo somewhere. oh, and her hubby works in the courts, they live in mackenzie and the lucky things are having maccas for dinner tonight! she's also got one young grandson, who's about three.

-i used the pot :P twice last night and once more this morning when dearest dad left for work. then i spent the ten minutes till 8:20am having a quiet chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i'd need to get through today, giving all the happiness and all the satisfaction to PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied. then florence and i happily cuddled and snored until PIG mum poked me awake with "fifteen more minutes."
-when mother came back inside, i swung myself over to the pot :P for two tinkles, just swinging myself back into bed when i felt like doing a stinky unspeakable. PIG mum got me kitted, then gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the kitchen, where she gleefully forced poor ela to turn on the taps about five times before she lemme sit.
-mum jammed a slice of toast for my breakfast for me coz we were running late. for some reason, just because she doesn't use any butter, she presumes that i don't, either. :(
-after breakfast, i went to the loo, but only had time for a tinkle, coz PIG mum was too intent in forcing my attendance with vincent the bloody physio. ><
-and stupid ela couldn't pronate and weightbear for ten seconds ... meaning vincent the bloody physiop gleefully forced me to stand on the bloody wobble board for like five minutes. ><
-PIG mum tootled me to the dentist after that. i settled down with the current edition of woman's weekly.
-hey, my new splint was supposed to be green and gold! how come this one's just boring clear?!
-anyways, kelvin says to take this one home and try it first; he can add some colour back into it without charge. :) this new one's also very tight - my old one, i could just loosen it with my tongue, but i need fingers to get this new one out.
-i got cranky with PIG mum coz she refused to buy me a pork salad roll for lunch; she then got cranky with me and stormed inside, leaving myself to spider-girl (what aunty a calls when i walk clinging to the wall/whatever i can find for balance XD) inside to the bathroom.
-after PIG mum calmed down and came to her senses, she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to wash and dry both hands, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the gobbling :P table for lunch.
-we both shared one had two minute noodle. PIG mum says i had 2/3 and she had 1/3. i also drank one mug of cold milo 'incorrectly'.

'umm ... from birth or from my brain injury?" i asked him.
that provoked a laugh. "just from your brain injury, thanks." XD
-well, i gave him my usual spiel, then he wandered around, asked for permission to check out elf. i shucked off elf's footwear, adding, "i washed my feet yesterday, but apologies if they stink." another laugh. XD
-afterwards, he wheeled me back out, saying he wanted to talk to PIG mum for awhile. so i sat in the waiting room with aunty anne and continued reading that new idea mag i'd started earlier.

-after the news, i happy read the bookclub novel. i reached page twenty-five @ 6:20, page fifty @ 6:40, page seventy-five @ 7:15 and page one hundred @ 8pm.
-i also had dinner in between. more of tessa's yummy fried rice, lotsa yummy kailan, quite a bit of vermicelli and one wee chunk of soup pork. dinner was washed down with one mug of rice green tea, sweetened with one teaspoonful of honey. lol, dad's 'one teaspoonful tastes much nicer than PIG mum's 'one teaspoonful'! XD
-i went once more to the loo before returning online.
-hopefully, PIG mum comes home by 9:30, coz that's when dad's gleefully forcing me off to bed!
-toms: bible study resumes! so: church by 9am, service @ 11:15am, and gosh, could we PLEASE FINALLY have lunch @ plaza again?! even if it's two meals between three ppl @ cafe mi, i miss our old sunday plaza lunch tradition!! and fingers crossed i'll get some visitors toms, or else hopefully i can squeeze in several good hours online and start writing my memoir! righteo, hope to see everyone @ church toms!
cheers,

hello again! em's new plodding total for saturday now stands @ 1094. phew, i'm over one grand. XD and now, after sharon leaves, i'm still owed ONE HOUR and ELEVEN MINUTES online!!! righteo, continuing events?
-i played with tessa's phone. bug smash's really fun - the noises when you squash a bug are awfully satisfying. XD
-tessa also gave me several spoonfuls of the soup she'd made with dad's chokos! 'twas yummy! :)
-around midday, tess took me to the loo once more then made me one mug of warm milo, sweetened with one teaspoonful of honey.
-then tess cooked me fried rice for lunch. :)
-before dad came home, tess took me once more to the loo, then could only gimme half a bowl of fried ricefor lunch coz dad was already back.
-but dad himself gave me another half bowl. :) one bowl, i'm doing great! :) meaning i didn't complain when he only gave me water to drink.
-then i headed over to write questions for jack, before plopping online for about thirty minutes myself.
-jack arrived a lil early today, but i went to the loo once before tutoring him for about 1.75 hours. he's doing so well! :)
-he walked behind me back to the computer when aunty ming rang to say that she was running late, then left to wait for her.
-well, if sharon's prompt, she should arrive about ... now. :P
-fingers crossed i can come back online tonight, else it's just church toms.
cheers,

saturday post50

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 926 steps today (i'm fairly confident i'll pass one grand before the day's out); secondly, TWFT topic's 'who are you depending on?' and thirdly, i'm still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-ONE MINUTES online after jack leaves!! righteo, let's start off with last night's events first!
-after the usual dinner and one bathroom trip, dad tootled me off to SHINE fellowship, still listening to beyond.
-there were about eighteen people attending last night. but, eep! i still really can't tell the difference between heidi and nicole! XD
-i sang the harmony for one song. i can't read enough canto to save my life, remember! XD
-we split into two groups; michael and kathy led our discussion. i think thomas led the other one.
-kathy started off the night like she was hosting the oscars! lol, she'd written this list of possible characters and told us all to choose one and explain our choice. i chose 'teacher' - because 'lao shi' was the only one i could fully make out! remember, i can't read enough canto to save myself! XD
-after that, michael led us on this discussion, explaining to us all that we were chosen by god. lol, dunno why god's chosen me to be the church cripple. ><
-i declined to pray out aloud, so kathy prayed for both michael and i. poor michael, he lost his parents when he was only two years old!
-dad came and i went once to the toilet before he tootled us home.
-repeat the usual nightly routine, then zzz. :P i was kinda pissed coz dad told me to wash ela not once, not twice, but THREE times! ><"
-PIG mum also wandered into my room @ 11pm to say good night coz she 'missed me'. lol.
-sat: i used the pot :P twice last night, and once more when PIG mum left for work. i was pissed coz last nifght, dad had taken PIG mum out for dinner, and i'd asked PIG mum please to gimme fifteen bucks so tess and i could have morning tea/lunch @ the coffee club together, but she'd refused. >< but i'll post a bit about that on my special blog later, if i've the time.
-i cuddled florence and went back to sleep, after spending the ten minutes till 8am having a quiet chat chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i'd need to get through today, giving all the happiness and all the satisfaction to PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied.
-i used the pot :P once more before tess came, @ around 9;20am.
-after giving me ten more minutes, i used the pot :P once more for one tinkle. tess got me kitted, then i held her arm and walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth. thanks to tess who squirted out some toothpaste for me. she'd also left one mug of water for me, which i drank 'incorrectly'.
-tess led me over to the loo, where i did a stinky unspeakable. afterwards, she led me over to wash and dry era, before we held hands and walked out to the gobbling :P table together.
-thanks to dad who fried some ham and eggs, and tess who made that into a sandwich for me. i also had another cup of tea, white and two, and one solis slice of cheese.
-after i finished breakfast, i wrote out chapter twenty-four questions out for jack, while tess started massaging ela.
-hey, time to go! bbl after tutoring, okies?
cheers,
em. ^^
