saturday post62

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 678 steps today (always a teeny total for saturday, remember, coz i don't go anywhere); secondly, TWFT topic's 'blessing comes by association' and thirdly, i'm still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES online tonight!! only i won't get the chance to return online tonight, coz dad and i are attending church for pizza and some movie! oh wells ... guess the list grows considerably longer ... >< anyways, whoever's coming to shower me should arrive in about fifteen minutes, so just very quickly?
-tess came just before ten, gave me like twenty more minutes of sleep, then got me up and kitted.
-i went over to brush my teeth; thanks to tess who squirted me some toothpaste.
-after brushing teeth, i drank the mug of water tess had provided for me 'incorrectly' then went and did a stinky unspeakable. i also spent some time leaning against the side rail 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.
-thanks to dad who fried some ham and eggs for breakfast, and tess who put that into two slices of toast for me, plus one slice of cheese. she also made me a cup of tea, white and two, my second to hold 'incorrectly'.
-tess start massaging ela when i was still munching breakfast! after i finished eating, i wrote out questions for jack.
-around midday, tess took me to the loo for one tinkle, then made me a warm milo sweetened with some sugar, my third to hold 'incorrectly'. then i wrote her a note on her netbook.
-only PIG mum came home early! she and tess yakked away, and tess took me once more to the loo before leaving.
-lunch was one bowl of fried rice and another one of what tess called caesar salad. but since when does caesar salad have carrot and cucumber inside?! XD
-then i went to type out questions for jack, before going to the loo once.
-we started charlie and the great glass elevator today! afterwards, i helped jack a lil with some composition thing that's due monday.
-i held aunty ming's hand and walked back to the computer.
-good timing! a knock on the door; can't remember who's showering me today.
-it's sharon! :D off to church tonight for pizza and movie; hope to see everyone @ church toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

friday post 61d

one final good evening! em's final, final plodding total now stands @ 2990. lol, forgive me if i can't be bothered to get up and plod ten more steps to make my final plodding total an even three grand! XD
-horrid PIG mum had already said she wouldn't watch me walk safely there and back; neither could i be bothered calling out to dad, who's prolly already fast asleep on the couch! XD but i didn't fall, and will live to see another day. :)
-seeing as PIG mum couldn't be bothered with watching me walk safely to and back from the loo, i'm gonna try my hardest to stay online till 10pm tonight! doubt i'll succeed, but hey. XD righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^

friday post 61c

good evening again! em's new final plodding total for friday now stands @ 2486. righteo, continuing events?
-when dearest dad arrived home, PIG mum gleefully botted me offline and gleefully forced poor ela to practise piano for absolutely ages.
-then, pain. >< PIG mum gleefully forced me to un-footwear myself then stand against the table for twenty minutes. see, elf needs the AFO to prevent her from rolling out; the parents ordering me to constantly shift my weight all to the left wasn't appreciated. >< dad coming over to physically shove me over to the left hurt, too. :(
-only the parents chucked some kinda spac attack @ me, gleefully forcing me to do further posture stuff forever! i mean, in the end, i didn't get any dinner until 7:50pm!
-rice tonight, lotsa lettuce, two slimy chunks of sea cucumber and several wee chunks of beef. that was washed down with one mug of rice green tea, hopefully sweetened with one teaspoonful of honey, that i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-i went to the bathroom once afterwards. zero thanks to horrid PIG mum who again decided that her dinner was more important to her than watching her only disabled daughter walk safely to the loo and back. but i didn't fall. :)
-toms: tess comes @ 10am, jack @ 2pm. we're starting a new book!
-can't remember who's coming to shower me in the arvo ... but i hope it's sharon!
-righteo, i'll bbl one more time after one final loo trip~
cheers,
em. ^^

friday post 61b

good evening! em's new plodding total for friday now stands @ 2149. yay, i'm over two grand. XD righteo, continuing events?
-the lady dragged over a seat for me, then pulled out some catalogue and started showing the parents different wheelchair models. she got a measuring tape and measured how wide i was (very XD) before getting some guy to drag out a sample. the parents forced me to transfer to one, then i rolled myself around the room.
-dunno if the parents will get that one; anyways, i held dad's hand and walked back to the 4WD, then he tootled us back to maccas where he gave the keys back to PIG mum then returned to work.
-PIG mum tootled us home. we both went to the loo once, then i plopped online until aunty lucia came. actually, she was slightly late coz she encountered some congestion @ the railway crossing.
-i held aunty lucia's hand and walked to the bathroom for my nice hot shower - hairwash today. also thanks to aunty lucia who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
-i had one tinkle before aunty lucia flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, creamed and had another tinkle. aunty lucia rekitted me, telling me that her hubby doesn't finish work tonight until 9:30pm, her poor son has school toms (it's SATURDAY! ><) and that both her parents have already passed away. her mum passed away in 2005 from a heart condition, while her dad passed away even earlier than that, just from old age.
-i held aunty lucia's hand and walked back to the computer. originally, horrid PIG mum was gonna force poor ela to practise piano, but i argued successfully that i needed to listen to nine's news simulcast on light FM first.
-there's no SHINE fellowship tonight; coz dad and i are going for pizza and a movie @ church toms night!
-tess comes toms @ 10am, must write the first two chapters' questions of charlie and the great glass elevator for jack. actually, i just realised, the chapters are lot longer than james and the giant peach; perhaps one chapter's enough. but i'll see toms arvo.
-can't remember who's coming to shower me in the arvo ... i hope it's sharon! hope she's feeling all better now, too. :)
-but whoever's coming gets to leave early coz dad and i are going to church for pizza and a movie night!
-well, just in case i can't come back online tonight, hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^

friday post 61

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 1987 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'listen slowly'; thirdly, the spam count for the week's fourteen and lastly, i'm still owed THIRTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after aunty lucia comes and gives me a shower!! righteo, events for today?
-i used the pot :P three times last night and once more when dearest dad left for work shortly before 8am. then i cuddled florence and successfully fell back asleep before PIG mum came downstairs and poked me with "fifteen more minutes."
-after fifteen minutes, when she came back, 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, pointlessly and therefore spitefully forced poor ela to turn on and off the tap five times before letting me sit.
-breakfast was one slice of toast with the merest dab of butter and jam, plus one mug of milo, which i drank 'incorrectly' coz PIG mum was upstairs changing. (and now, she's upstairs snoring her head off XD)
-PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the 4WD, and tootled me off to UQ for physio.
-only we bumped into dearest dad near the top of yvonne rd! dad drove past us, PIG mum braked, "hey, isn't that dad?" and dad reversed for a quick chat with us! :D
-after that, PIG mum ordered me to turn the air con on/offered me a soother, meaning i didn't get a chance to close both eyes have have 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 until PIG mum entered the highway. so i didn't reopen both eyes until PIG mum turned into services road.
-only there wasn't any parking available for us! meaning PIG mum offloaded me first, then went to re-park the car elsewhere, while margaret rang upstairs for matt.
-when matt came, i went once to the loo first. i'm cool as long as there's a railing, see. the bonus was that i even got to let era open the tap lotsa times; that makes up for not being able to yesterday.
-last session with matt today! and no tilt table, score. XD
-actually, i got to lie down first! matt and another student went pulling @ both feet.
-back sitting, 'twas back to the usual sit-to-stands, work for ela, etc.
-before i left, matt even gave me the cookie monster page he'd printed out for me! "can you autograph that for me?" i asked. in fact, he wrote me a sentence! XD
-back inside the 4WD, i immediately changed the CD to weatlife's 'back home'. but it's already dying!! >< possible overuse, maybe?
-PIG mum tootled us to sunnybank medical centre to see dr. wall. she wants an ultrasound for ela's armpit, see. i grew a pimple there that hasn't gone away. dr. wall also wrote me out some prescription for the antibiotics that i ate last time.
-PIG mum took me once to the loo, then i went and washed both hands while she went herself.
-then we went to sunni cafe to see mrs. dent for lunch!
-i had the chicken parmigiana and a choc milkshake again, mrs. dent had a toasted cheese sandwich. and dad joined us! mrs. dent laughed, "michael, had i known that you were coming too, i'd have told rob to join us!"
-we just chatted. huge thanks to PIG mum who curbed her oft-vile tongue and left us all alone. :)
-but only one thing i'm rather suspicious about: i'd asked PIG mum please to check for me did sunni cafe sell any chips. she looked, then said they weren't. then how come when mrs. dent went to buy herself a hot drink, she came back and said, 'hey, em, they're selling hot chips.'?! but PIG mum said i wasn't allowed any, anyway. :( and that if i had some next time, i'd haveta give her some of my lunch! hmm ... i haven't quite decided on that issue yet ... we'll see next time.
-mrs. dent told us that her daughter's going through IVF, and that her new son-in-law, darron wolf, is really old! well, not really old, but he's exactly dad's age! a good bit older than her daughters, then.
-when we left, horrid PIG mum refused to lemme buy a sausage bun from sunni bakery for arvo tea. >< never mind, i shan't starve. :(
-dad tootled us off to somewhere called aida to look @ manual wheelchairs! see, sparkless is heavy and getting old, the parents want to buy me a new manual wheelchair before we return to hong kong.
-but 'twas funny. :P when the woman arrived, she asked, "how can i help you? what are you looking for? i answered, 'i'm looking for a seat, please. when PIG mum and the lady both smothered a laugh, i quickly amended, "but mother's looking for a cheap manual wheelchair."
-hey, aunty lucia's here now, fingers crossed i can bbl!
cheers,
em. ^^

thursday post 62e

one final good evening! em's final, final plodding total now stands @ 4661.
-lol, PIG mum's excuse for not watching me walk to the loo and back was that she was busting herself! XD but luckily, i didn't fall. :)
-anyways, i've just realised that i really need to finish my post about lunch with mel, kylie and her sisters @ sushi train three days ago! hope everyone has a great end to their week toms!
cheers,

thursday post 62d

-i also drank one cup of tea, white and two, 'incorrectly'. cathy had a cuppa herself today, too.
-i finished eating @ 5:10pm and asked cathy please to start massaging ela, but she refused. i waited another five minutes and tried asking again. still no luck. third time lucky, @ 5:20pm she finally started, and immediately stopped @ 5:50pm. ela got painted gold with silver dots today.
-i held cathy's wrist and went to the loo for three tinkles.
-back @ the computer table, i listened to nine's news simulcast on light FM, until PIG mum awoke from pigland and gleefully forced poor ela to practise piano for like twenty-five minutes. *sigh* i'm sorry, but if there's one thing i really HATE GOD for, it's that he's taken away my ability to play piano. i honestly wasn't half bad before god struck me down, honestly. :(
-afterwards, i went to the loo once, then PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to hike the stairs once.
-then she gleefully forced poor elf on several minutes of exercises. dad wandered over and gave me a hard time. ><
-that was before PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( poor em to plod on the bloody treadmill for twenty minutes. she still hasn't plodded her own twenty yet, BTW.
-dinner afterwards: rice, lotsa little tong vegetable, several thin chunks of beef and one small but yummy chunk of pork, which of course i saved for last. 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'.
-*sigh* but again, PIG mum decided that her dinner was more important to her than watching her only disabled daughter walk safely to and back from the toilet. >< but i didn't fall, and i'm also gonna try my absolute hardest to stay online till 10pm! usually, i'd have let PIG mum gleefully force me off @ 9:30pm, but, seeing as she couldn't be bothered with watching me walk safely there and back, i'm gonna try my darndest to stay online till 10pm.
-toms: UQ physio sometime. it's matt's last time!
-then we're meeting mrs. dent for lunch @ sunni cafe. i want chips with gravy ... does sunni cafe have any?
-aunty lucia's coming to shower me in the arvo, fingers crossed i'll have some bun from sunni bakery for arvo tea!
-but no SHINE fellowship on toms night, coz it's the fifth friday for this month. anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

-after rinsing the floor once for me, i held cathy's wrist and walked to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea.
-originally, PIG mum was just gonna gimme my usual ham, cheese and mayo toastie, but surprise! cathy brought me cookies! see, her daughter danielle had baked them earlier today.
-bbl!

thursday post 62b

hello again! em's new plodding total for thursday now stands @ 2406. righteo, events for today?
-lol, perhaps PIG mum gleefully forced me off to bed too early last night - i couldn't fall asleep!so, after reaching 500 (nowadays, i count numbers to fall asleep XD) twice and using the pot :P twice, i decided to sing myself to sleep instead. yup, that i worked, i sang around 40% of my second-favourite song before i finally joined bear bear in happy snorings, also waking twice during the night/morning to use the pot :P again.
-when dearest dad left for work, i used the pot :P once more then cuddled florence and successfully fell back asleep again till PIG mum came and prodded me with "fifteen more minutes."
-oh, forgot to say: i'm still owed THIRTY-SIX MINUTES online after cathy leaves tonight!!
-when PIG mum returned, i used the pot :P once for two tinkles, PIG mum got me kitted, then she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the kitchen, where she gleefully, pointlessly and therefore spitefully forced poor ela to open the tap five times before letting me sit down.
-breakfast was one slice of bread, exceedingly thinly spread with a dab of marg and strawberry jam. i drank one mug of warm milo 'incorrectly', and also spent about ten minutes having silent chat with percy the angel/saint, 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.
-PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the 4WD, AND TOOTLED ME OFF TO WRITER'S GROUP. OF COURSE, SHE GLEEFULLY FORCED POO - sorry, shrieking! >< poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day (no-one around to see her help, see XD) and for the trip to garbo, we listened to some christian canto CD. i didn't listen coz i was busy giving ela's hand a stretch.
-writer's group, as always, was awesome. i'm only pooped coz someone brought along a cake to share with walnuts (meaning none for me) and era didn't get a chance to open the tap lotsa times coz the lights weren't working so gabby kindly stayed just outside the door and waited for me. oh well, i'll open the tap lotsa times come tuesday.
-after writer's group, PIG mum took me once to the loo, then we went to foodcourt for lunch.
-lol, i asked for chips; i should be thankful that PIG mum got me a small packet. the chicken cheeseburger was too small, not really filling, but oh well. and i've grown used to just drinking water. :(
-hey, cathy's here, so fingers crossed i can bbl, okies? else hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

-afterwards, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to plod the stairs thrice. sheesh, i'd promised uncle tyrone that i'd hike the stairs for him once each day, not multiple times! >< but PIG mum's ranting on and on about how "you've gotta keep improving yourself." sheesh. ><
-i went once more to the loo before returning online. zero thanks to PIG mum who decided that her dinner was more important to her than watching her only disabled daughter walk safely to the bathroom and back. >< but i didn't fall. :)
-toms: writer's group! :D can't remember what time i'll haveta get up, but i prolly won't have the time to have a chat to percy the angel/saint before PIG mum digs me up, so i'll save that for breakfast. fingers crossed that PIG mum'll lemme get a yummy chicken katsudon and a choc thickshake with low fat milk afterwards! i've got one immunity from vincent the bloody physio, so tomorrow's safe, @ least. cathy's coming to shower me in the arvo, but we're not going to garbo. :( but best of all, it's ice-cream night tonight! :D like i keep saying, one barely there spoonful's better than none @ all! righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!

-time to leave, and PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the car. lol, i continue to find it hilarious that she'd NEVER help me with my seatbelt whenever it's just the two of us, but whenever somebody else's driving me somewhere, she always helps me with it; i don't even haveta ask for help! talk about wanting to look good in front of others, lol. but her true colours show whenever we're alone!

-after i finished 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 i thought we were gonna listen to the pepsi chart hits album from 2001 all day, too.
-PIG mum tootled me off to UQ for physio. once she entered the highway, i closed both eyes and had a silent chat with percy the angel/saint, 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, not reopening my eyes until PIG mum turned down into services road.
-i went once to the bathroom before sitting in the waiting area. PIG mum was her usual nasty self who flounced off to pay and pester poor margaret, but luckily, within ninety seconds of her leaving, some random gentleman wandered past and kindly passed me some random magazine.
-matt didn't come for me today, emma and some other girl did!
-i held one of their hands and walked into the gymn.

-when we left, PIG mum tootled me off to the bakery to buy a pork salad roll, chocolate milk and apple and custard danish - only there weren't any left! >< instead, the girl suggested i try a custard and apple scroll - but it's HUGE!XD
-back home, i happily ate my yummy lunch (even though PIG mum pinched @ least half my chocolate milk) then popped online for five minutes until PIG mum said 'twas time to leave.
-during the car trip to vincent the physio's place, i stretched her for another ten minutes, opening and closing her palm like seventy-five times and holding for three seconds each time.
-yay, today, i didn't fall, nor did vincent gleefully force me to stand. :) ela actually did some work with a dumbell! meaning she's really tires now. never mind, will let her sleep early tonight. :)
-actually, i think i even gained an immunity! :D ela grabbed two lollies on her way out, with vincent's help.
-when PIG mum tootled us home, i returned online and rang dearest dad, who's @ north/westlake right now.
-cathy's just arrived, one minute late today. sheesh, she's already gonna leave like thirty minutes early! ><
-we're going to toastmasters tonight! hope steph remembered to make chop chip cookies for my belated 24.5th birthday! righteo, cya tonight!

-i used the pot :P three times last night and once more when dearest dad left for work @ 7:50. i also introduced to kiwi, the little sheep that lee had brought back for me from new zealand!
-after dad left for work, i cuddled florence and successfully fell back asleep until PIG mum came and poked me with "fifteen more minutes."
-when she came back, 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, pointlessly and therefore spitefully forced poor ela to open and close the tap five times before letting me sit.
-actually, she also gleefully forced poor ela to put three weetbix into a bowl before letting me sit. the weetbix i had with less than one spoonful of honey. the spoonful was so thin that one millimeter less and it would've been thin! XD
-after taking one small sip from the required mug of water 'incorrectly', PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the 4WD. of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day; we also listened to either disc from the pepsi charts hits from 2001.
-PIG mum tootled me off to UQ for physio. she offered me a soother @ the logan and miles platting road intersections, meaning i didn't get a chance to close both eyes and have a chat to percy until we entered the highway. only then, 'twas 10am and time to listen to 4KQ's news! when i finally closed both eyes and had a silent chat with percy the angel/saint, 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, 'twas somewhere along the highway, meaning i didn't reopen my eyes until PIG mum turned down into services road.
-i went once to the loo upstairs, then went over to wash and dry both hands while PIG mum went herself.
-once in the waiting room, PIG mum was her usual spiteful self who refused to pass me a mag before flouncing back downstairs to pay and pester poor margaret, but luckily, there was a gentleman also seated in the waiting area who kindly passed me the better homes and gardens magazine i've been browsing these past few weeks.
-lol, i keep forgetting my physio stusent's name! XD ben? his last name's o'rourke', that much i'm sure. anyways, after showing off my cool tee to him, i held his hand and walked into the physio gym.
-phew, no tilt table today! :D just the usual sit-to-stand practise and some work for ela. i also lay down on the plinth for physio student guy to work over elf.
-PIG mum took me to the loo once more before driving me to warrigal square to meet mel and kylie for lunch!
-kylie even brought along her two sisters! their names ... umm ... rachel and alice? excuse my crap memory. XD
-this time, taking PIG mum's advice and tried the crispy chicken with udon noodles! 'twas yummy, only coz 'twas in soup, i ate too slowly, meaning all the crispy chicken @ the end was now soggy! XD but 'twas still yummy; i even ladled up and drank all the soup @ the end! XD there's my dose of MSG for the day! XD
-mel had my favourite chicken katsudon, couldn't finish it and doggy-bagged it for dinner tonight, while kylie and her sisters just took food from the train. hey, did you know, SUSHI train even sells BROWNIES! XD
-we just chatted. mel told me she's moved back into spinal injuries inpatients, one of kylie's sisters (the one that graduated in 2009) is doing some art degree @ uni (like, the painting and pottery thing), while the other's doing some kinda childcare course somewhere. she graduated in 2007, BTW. the youngest de calemer child graduates @ the end of this year, and kylie tells me her mum's had to ferry kids to and from school for like eighteen years, wow!
-all too soon, PIG mum came to pick me back up, and 'twas time to leave. we all paid, and hugged, etc. mel says we can meet up again for christmas, and kylie says her birthday's 28th november, not october. lol, i'll prolly forget. XD
-PIG mum tootled us home. i went and did a stinky unspeakable before tootling online.
-well, cathy should arrive in about twenty minutes.
-i've got some yummy arvo tea today! huge thanks to aunty winnie who saved me one sausage, and PIG mum, who pinched me one pork ball, from the BBQ!
-fingers crossed i can come back online afterwards, else:
-another round of UQ physio for me toms.
-fingers crossed PIG mum'll lemme buy a yummy pork salad roll and chocolate milk for lunch, also a yummy custard and apple danish for arvo tea, coz
-no doubt i've got a torture session with vincent the bloody physio in the arvo. ><
-but cathy's taking me to toastmasters toms night! fingers crossed that steph remembers to make cookies for my belated 24.5th birthday! :Dcheers,

-after service, PIG mum took me to the bathroom once, then tootled us home, chucking a cow @ me for no reason.

-only PIG mum got her own back when she flounced back upstairs and left me to make lunch for myself.
-i ate two slices of thick cheese with two slices of ham and mayo. :D not @ all bad!
-then lee and kwany came to visit me!
-we just chatted, and played a whodunnit game.

XD) secondly, TWFT topic's 'finding the right person for the job' and thirdly, the spam count for the week's twenty-three. righteo, events for today?
-awesome sleep last night! :D nature didn't call till about 6;20am; actually, i was woken by dad banging around in the kitchen!
-after one loo trip, i spent the ten minutes till 6:30am having a mostly silent chat with percy the angel/saint, 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 i cuddled florence and fell back asleep with her, waking to kiss dearest dad good-bye when he left for work, before re-cuddling florence and returning to our happy snorings.
-lol, i must've fallen back asleep after PIG mum poked me awake with "fifteen more minutes," coz when she poked me again, i blearily protested that i still had three more minutes! XD
-but i got up, used the pot :P once more for three tinkles. PIG mum got me kitted, before gleefully FORCING :( me to walk out to the kitchen, where she gleefully forced poor ela to open the tap five times before letting me sit.
-breakfast was my yummy spring onion bun, plus one mug of milo, which i held 'incorrectly' coz PIG mum was upstairs changing. originally, i'd haved saved the spring onion bun for my arvo tea, but PIG mum told me that dad had taken half my sausage bun this morning. i was cool with that; originally, i'd bought that particular bun to share with him. :)
-after breakfast, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me walk to the 4WD. of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and we also listened to some pepsi music hits chart disc from 2001 all day, too.

-i went once to the loo first, then PIG mum went while i washed and dried both hands.
-@ the waiting area, PIG mum was her usual horrid spiteful self who refused to pass me a magazine before flouncing back downstairs to pay and pester poor margaret, who's poor mother's dreadfully sick in hospital. but luckily, there was a lady who kindly passed me that magazine i've been browsing for the past few months. we also chatted; she told me that her daughter's a third-year physio student here who booked her in after she hurt her neck and shoulders from painting the ceiling.
-my physio student came for me; i held his hand and walked into the gym.
-argh, the dreaded tilt table first. >< 'twas the teacher who knelt down and looked after elf's poor ankle; she's canto!
-and lol, era got to bash my physio student up with a cricket bat! XD 'twas only foam, relax. XD but i asked the teacher, "where's the funnybone?" she laughed - then pointed that out to me with her own two arms! XD
-after the evil tilt table, i went back to the plinth, first for some pelvic tilting work, then for bottom lifts before sit-to-stands. physio guy also brought me his own cookie monster tee! i've tried persuading him to wear it, but he says he can't coz he's gotta wear his uni physio tee. still, he says he'll try ask for permission to wear it on the last day. :D
-i ended with some sword work! XD era, then ela had to reach forward and jab an imaginary target. 'sheesh, that's not fun," i complained to my physio student, who laughed, then got the grade eleven student here for ... work experience? to come be my target! 'okay, i stab, you do the noises," i insturcted, but she kept giggling everytime era pierced her! "okay, you do the sound effects, then." XD
-PIG mum took me once more to the bathroom before we left, then tootled me off to see naz for some lunch!
-"where have you been?" naz asked, when i showed up. i explained that last week, i'd been @ my MRI follow-up, and the week before, poor PIG mum was feeling crook.
-i got a burrito, but that's the last one ever, coz they make my jaw tired and PIG mum doesn't want me to hurt it again. PIG mum got herself one sushi roll, and we just drank water, although she's PINKY-PROMISED me that she'll lemme have a pudding milk tea next time. lol, hope she remembers!
-when we left, i asked naz please to save me a HUGE spud for next week. he laughed, then claimed, "but there aren't any big spuds left anymore!" when i asked him why not, he said the floods and stuff. "but i'll save you the biggest one i can find." he promised me. :)
-PIG mum tootled us home; i went and did a stinky unspeakable. zero thanks to PIG mum who both gleefully forced me to dak and un-dak myself.
-woo hoo, thirty minutes till aunty lucia comes to gimme a shower!
-SHINE fellowship tonight. we're doing bible study again.
-toms: tess comes @ 10am, jack @ 2pm. but i'm only having a shower but no arvo tea, coz we're off to aunty shirley's for cell group afterwards! righteo, if i can't come back afterwards, hope everyone has a smashing weekend!

-but i will never know if she honestly hiked the same herself, coz madam hippo rang! we chatted~
-dinner afterwards: rice, lotsa yummy broccoli, one wee chunk of beef and several wee yummy slices of chicken. dinner afterwards was washed down by one mug of yummy rice green tea, hopefully sweetened with one teaspoonful which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-but zero thanks to horrid PIG mum afterwards, who decided that her dinner was more important to her than watching her only disabled daughter walk safely to the loo and back! >< luckily, though, i didn't fall. :)
-toms: argh, it's another bloody torture session with vincent the physio, save me. ><
-but PIG mum says she'll take me to see a movie toms, and cathy's taking me to garbo @ night! :D]
-one more thing: ice-cream night tonight! like i keep saying, one flat spoonful's better than none! righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post73b

good afternoon again! em's new plodding total for wednesday now stands @ 829. righteo, continuing events?
-cathy arrived promptly @ 3:45. i held her hand and walked to the bathroom for my nice hot shower - hairwash today, also thanks to cathy who rinsed out my hair for me, freeing era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
-i had one tinkle before cathy flipped the nice hot water off, she dried me and i had another tinkle. then i got creamed and rekitted, having one more tinkle when cathy put my knickers on, and one last after cathy washed my glasses for me.
-i held cathy's hand and walked out to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea.
-lol, i can't remember did i eat a pear or not! XD but cathy made me a toastie - with only one slice of cheese - so 'twas ENTIRELY too thin, ham and mayo, cut into four. i squited her a :o( with the mayo, two teardrops per eye. XD

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 518 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'what sank the titanic?' and thirdly, i'm still owed TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after cathy leaves tonight!! righteo, events for today?
-i used the pot :P twice last night and once more when dearest dad left for work @ 8:05am. i then spent the next ten minutes till 8:15 having a mostly silent chat with percy the angel/saint, 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 i cuddled florence and fell back asleep with her, waking to use the pot :P once more before PIG mum came and poked me awake with "fifteen more minutes."
-when she came back inside, i used the pot :P once more for three tinkles, she got me kitted then gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the kitchen, where she gleefully, pointlessly and spitefully forced poor ela to open the tap SIX times before letting me sit down. hey, i thought five was bad enough; but if she persists in forcing poor ela to open the tap more and more times, i'll haveta let era open the tap lotsa and lotsa times whenever i'm out @ garbo, writer's group or toastmasters.
-for the second time this month, breakfast was two weetbix! horrid PIG mum wouldn't gimme three, she gleefully forced poor ela to take them and place them into the bowl, and she gave me LESS than one spoonful of honey, but hey, 'twas yummy. :)
-PIG mum kindly turned on nine's morning news hour for me, so i didn't complain when she gleefully forced poor ela up onto the table.
-aunty wendy arrived @ 11:30, and hey, she brought lollies (juicy chewy ones, not hard ones) for us! nomnomnom~
-lunch was one yummy toasted tuna with tomato and onion with one slice of cheese sandwich cut into two triangles, and one juicy orange. i also drank one cup of yummy chocolate nesquik 'incorrectly'.
-i rang dearest dad, who was actually delivering around UQ!
-after lunch, i asked aunty wendy please for one mug of water - another which i held 'incorrectly' then i went and did a stinky unspeakable.
-afterwards, i sat and read the book thief. aunty wendy started massaging ela around 12:50pm.
-she took me to the toilet once more around 2pm, then continued massaging ela until PIG mum returned home.
-after one more loo trip, i plopped online and she left. PIG mum came and fed me two echinacaea(sp?) tablets; i was extremely careful to hold the cup 'correctly', of course.
-well, cathy's coming to shower me in like forty-five minutes. gonna read some news, first. and get my facebook fix. XD
-righteo, cya tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^

-cathy Forced me to walk to the bathroom - hairwash today. also thanks to cathy who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
-i had one tinkle before cathy flipped the nice hot water off, she dried me and i had another tinkle. i got creamed, then cathy rekitted me. i had one more tinkle when cathy put my knickers on, and one last when cathy was drying my glasses.
-after cathy rinsed the floor once for me, she Forced me to walk out to the gobbling :P table, arvo tea was half the yummy custard danish and one juicy pear. i like those better than the crunchy ones, but hey, i love ALL pears. :)
-after i finished eating, i asked cathy to please start massaging ela. dunno why she waited five more mins before doing so.
-lol, we had new neighbours move in this arvo! cathy's car was kinda parked in the way, so dad asked for her car keys so he could move it outta the way for her. "don't worry, i'm a good driver." he reassured her. XD
-before she left, cathy took me once more to the loo. she's back tomorrow - then taking me out to garbo on thursday, too! XD
-i tootled online until PIG mum came down from pigland gleefully forced me offline, first to hike the stairs once then to force poor ela to practise the piano for ages. that was followed by her gleefully FORCING :( me to plod the bloody treadmill for twenty minutes, before she claimed to plod the same herself.
-we watched the x factor while we were plodding. gosh, they all sing great!
-dinner afterwards: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower and several wee strips of yummy chicken. dinner was washed down with one mug of milk - plus the last lindt carrot that vincent the physio gave me for christmas last year!
-i went back online after that for awhile, but nature suddenly called and i went to do a stinky unspeakable. zero thanks to PIG mum who wouldn't watch me walk there coz she was too busy frying some beef for dad's dinner, but lol, once i'd made it safely to the loo, she rushed in mid-fry to pass me one mug of water then rushed back out again to continue cooking. XD
-afterwards, PIG mum gleefully forced me to un-dak myself, gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to wash and dry both hands, and gleefully FORCED :( me to walk back to the computer.

tuesday post61b

good evening! em's new plodding total for tuesday now stands @ 3365. righteo, continuing events?
-PIG mum took me to the loo once when we arrived, of course gleefully forcing me to dak myself. then i went over to wash and dry both hands while she went herself.
-like her usual horrid self, PIG mum flounced off back downstairs to pay and pester margaret without handing me a mag first. luckily, though, there was this delivery man also sitting in the waiting room who very kindly passed me the better homes and gardens magazine. lol, i never knew how to eat your preferred steak belonged in the homes and gardens section! XD
-physio guy (ben?) came for me; i held his hand and walked inside.
-lotsa weight shifting work today, also pelvic tilting stuff. actually, i started with some mat work, and finished with some work for ela. karen came to help, and era had some fun disembowelling emma with the plastic knife. XD points go to emma for making very theatrical boises. XD
-surprise! PIG mum took me to maccas afterwards! i got yummy shaker fries, so won't complain that i only got to eat a chicken cheeseburger and only drank an orange juice, not a chocolate milkshake. PIG mum got the mcfeast, and we traded a chomp each, but yuk! PIG mum gave me the mouthful with the icky pickle! eww! XD we shared the australian, and i was quite amused to find that lockyer didn't wanna wear a protective helmet for this week's match coz he's vain and doesn't wanna look like sth from the gladiator! XD
-afterwards, PIG mum tootled me off to a torture session with vincent the bloody physio.
-and what a complete disaster it was. >< i fell numerous times. *wails* :( oh, i also added fifty steps to my plodding total coz pedro fell off sometime, but vincent the physio refused to clip him back on for me! ><
-i went once to his toilet, ela grumpily grabbed a mentos from the lolly bowl, and PIG mum tootled us home.
-i plopped online when we arrived home until cathy arrived, two minutes early.

tuesday post61

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding about 3051 steps (i'll explain why later); secondly, TWFT topic's 'life stabilisers (2)' and thirdly, em's still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after cathy leaves tonight!! righteo, events for today?
-i used the pot :P three times last night and once more when dearest dad left for work around 8am. then i cuddled florence and successfully fell back asleep again, before PIG mum poked me with "fifteen more minutes."
-when she returned, i swung myself over to the pot :P once for three tinkles, she got me kitted, then she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the kitchen, where she pointlessy and spitefully forced ela to turn the tap on anf off five times before letting me sit.
-breakfast was one slice of toast with the merest dab of marg and strawberry jam, and one mug of warm milo - not horlicks, coz PIG mum's somehow misplaced it! XD
-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; we also listened to kit wong all day, too.
-PIG mum tootled me off to UQ for physio. until we reached coronation drive, i kept both eyes closed and had a silent ilent 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 i stretched ela for five minutes, also opening and closing her palm one hundred times, holding each for three seconds.
-hey, cathy's here now, so fingers crossed i can bbl!
cheers,
em. ^^

monday post 62c

one final good evening! em's final, final plodding total for monday now stands @ 2858. righteo, final, final events for tonight?
-PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to hike the stairs once, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to plod twenty minutes on the bloody treadmill. but she CHEATED! every night, i offer to count out aloud each second, but every night, she says she'll count for me. well, she didn't tonight. >< era slammed the 'stop' button in protest when the timer flicked to 20:01. anyways, that's TWICE this month hasn't kept time for me, after claiming she would. >< well, should she 'forget' twice more this month, i'll be counting every second out aloud, but i reset that count every month, and she begins with four chances again.
-afterwards, PIG mum plodded her own twenty while we watched the x factor. dunno why PIG mum wouldn't gimme the remote to see what else was showing, nor the phone, to answer should it ring. but thanks everyone for not ringing our house @ this time. :) really, i can't help but suspect that sometimes, PIG mum won't gimme the phone so she can answer it when it rings and then she'll haveta walk less. :(
-dinner afterwards: rice, lotsa yummy cauliflower, some chicken, and two small chunks of some chinese takeaway that dad had gotten during work sometime today, yum. dinner was washed down with one mug of rice green tea, hopefully sweetened with one teaspoonful of honey, which i held 'incorrectly' coz i was so terribly disappointed with PIG mum, who already said that she wouldn't watch me walk to the loo afterwards coz she was too engrossed in watching the x factor. like i keep saying, it's truly a sad day when you realise that some entertainment program on television is more important to your mother than watching her only disabled daughter walk safely from the loo and back. ><
-but i didn't fall. :)
-meaning, i'll try my hardest to stay online till 10pm tonight! if PIG mum had gone with me to the bathroom and back, i'd have gone offline @ 9:30, but, seeing as she decided that the x factor was more important to her than watching me walk safely to the loo and back, i'll try my hardest to stay online till 10pm.
-toms: another UQ physio session. i get to attend three times this week, coz of botoxed ell!
-fingers crossed PIG mum'll take me to maccas afterwards, coz in the arvo, i've got a torture session with vincent the bloody physio. ><
-also must remember to ring CODA in the morning to find out who's coming to shower me in the arvo - i really don't want a repeat of today's fiasco! ><
-anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

monday post 62

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 1209 steps and secondly, TWFT topic's 'life stabilisers (1)'. righteo, 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 cuddled florence and successfully fell back asleep before PIG mum came and poked me with "fifteen more minutes."
-when she returned, i swung myself over to the pot :P for three tinkles, before PIG mum got me kitted and gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the kitchen, where she gleefully and pointlessly (therefore spitefully) forced poor ela to open and close the tap five times before letting me sit.
-breakfast was one slice of toast with the merest dab of butter and strawberry jam. i also drank one yummy warm mug of horlicks 'incorrectly', and rang CODA to see who would come shower me today and wednesday, now that carol's gone interstate to look after her poor sick mother. louise said it'd be cathy - if that's really the case, we're gonna get so sick of one another, coz cathy usually comes on tuesdays and thursdays - add to that monday and wednesday, then top it off with a trip to garbo on thursday night! XD
-PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the 4WD. of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her seatbelt all day, and we also listened to wong kit all day, too. PIG mum says he's several years older than her, and has more or less retired now.
-PIG mum tootled me off to UQ for physio. i closed both eyes once she entered the highway, and had ilent 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, not opening my eyes until PIG mum turned into services road.
-PIG mum took me to the loo once there. i suddenly felt like doing a stinky unspeakable and stayed over the loo while PIG mum went to repark the car (when we'd arrived, there hadn't been any spots available, so PIG mum had just taken me up first).
-afterwards, i went to wash and dry both hands while PIG mum used the bathroom herself. then she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to the waiting area, where she was her usual spiteful self who refused to pass me a gossip mag before flouncing off back downstairs to pay and pester poor margaret. hope her mum's feeling better now, BTW!
-lucky, there was this nice elderly lady also there who kindly passed me this australian cyclist magazine. we also had a chat: she's from germany, but both her hubby and son have passed away from cancer. she's doing physio @ the NAB coz she had some kinda cancer in her armpit, which affected her balance?
-actually, before, when we arrived, thanks to this elderly-ish gentleman who held the elevator door open for us. a little boy (his grandson, i presume), told me enthusiastically, "i'm going to level two!" i laughed, and said back, 'me, too." XD
-ben came for me with a walkbelt; i held his hand and walked into the gym.
-i started off with some mat work today. lol, ben's so awesome, he's even printed out this cookie monster and stuck him onto a balloon for era and ela to do some reaching exercises with! dunno why i keep thinking his name's matt, though. XD
-random fact for today: i'm three years older than emma, but ben's seven years older than me! XD
-after that, i lay down on the plinth; ben and emma took a foot each and applied pressure. XD i also invited sonia to come and take a look @ wrinkle-free ell; she was very impressed. XD
-i finished with several sit-to-stands, then said, "bye, cya tomorrow!" yup, i'm back for another session toms; apparently, all that botox into elf's calf takes most effect right about now.
-PIG mum tootled me off to the bakery to grab a chocolate milk (half for me), a custard danish (half for me; sadly, they didn't have any apple and custard danish today) and a pork salad roll (yay, finally, sth all mine! XD)
-PIG mum tootled me home, where i tucked into my yummy lunch. for some reason, she chucked an absolute cow @ dearest dad, then poor me. ><
-the garage door guy came to fix our garage door. that cost several hundred bucks.
-i went once more to the loo before returning online; of course, PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything.
-but yay, 1.5 hours for myself, now! :)
-fingers crossed i can come back online after cathy leaves, else it's more UQ physio for me toms, then a torture session with vincent the bloody physio. >< i wonder what my chances are of persuading PIG mum to take me to maccas for lunch?
cheers,
em. ^^

sunday post60b

-went to the loo once afterwards. shame on PIG mum who feels that her dinner's more important to her than watching her only disabled daughter walk safely to and from the loo! ><
-toms: no TAFE, coz we're on term break, phew. instead, it's just physio @ UQ. PIG mum might take me to see the smurfs toms arvo! :D should also prolly ring to see who's coming to gimme a shower, seeing that poor carol's away for two weeks.

-i used the pot :P twice last night, using it once more when dearest dad came to kiss me good-bye before leaving for work @ 7:50am. i then spent the ten minutes till 8am having - actually, nope, i just cuddled florence and successfully fell back asleep, even using the pot :P again before PIG mum came to prod me with "fifteen more minutes."
-after fifteen more minutes, i swung myself over to the pot :P once more for three tinkles; PIG mum got me kitted for the day, then she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the kitchen, where she spitefully forced poor ela to open and close the tap five times before letting me sit for breakfast, which was one slice of toast exceedingly lightly spread with marg and strawberry jam. i also drank one warm mug of yummy horlicks 'incorrectly'.
-i went and did a stinky unspeakable after breakfast. of course, PIG mum gleefully forced me to dak myself. afterwards, she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to wash and dry both hands, before she gleegfully FORCED :( me to walk to the 4WD.
-of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day; we also listened to jay chou all day, too.
-PIG mum tootled me off to physio @ UQ. once we entered the freeway, i closed both eyes and just had 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, not opening my eyes again until PIG mum turned into services road.
-PIG mum took me to the loo when we arrived, then i went to wash and dry both hands while she went herself. as per her usual self, after she'd gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the waiting area, horrid PIG mum flounced off downstairs to pay and bother the recep[tionist (not margaret, coz her poor mum's sick interstate! ><) but luckily some guy wandered past not one minute after she'd left and handed me that mag i've been browsing for the past several weeks.
-matt came for me with a walkbelt and i went inside the gym.
-i met a new teacher today! she's hongkie, like me!
-phew, no tilt table today. just sit-to-stands, some work for ela, reachy cone work for era and i lay down for a calf stretch.
-PIG mum took me once more to the loo when we left, but said there wasn't enough time to see naz for a kebab. :(
-instead, we shared the luv-a-coffee club sandwich @ luv-a-coffee cafe! i drank an iced chocolate (PIG mum whipped away all the cream, of course) while PIG mum had a fresh orange juice, to which she very kindly gave me a slurp. i read today's courier mail, while she read the australian.
-then, 'twas off to the P.A for my follow-up!
-there wasn't any parking available when we arrived, so PIG mum dropped me off @ the entrance first before going to look for a spot.
-then who should i bump into but uncle wilbur! he dropped into the chair beside me; we had a quick chat.
-PIG mum came back for me and gleefully FORCED :( me to walk all the way to the waiting area. first though, i visited the loo.
-i browsed some pamphlet about amyloidosis (sp?) until PIG mum handed me some OK! gossip mag, the most current issue.
-lol, all that waiting, but the actual follow-up itself took like five minutes! XD some doctor called gemma saw me, said my MRI showed the all clear, and see you next year! the most amazing thing was that she recognised PIG mum!
-PIG mum took me once more to the loo before we left. i sat down on some bench while she went to get the 4WD from wherever she'd parked it.
-back home, i plopped online. just waiting for aunty ... lol, i keep forgetting her name! XD to come shower me; hope she remembers; it's already past 4:45pm!
-wow, just as i type this, PIG mum comes downstairs and says that aunty lucia's arrived! phew! well, fingers crossed i can come back online afterwards, else it's SHINE fellowship tonight, tess @ 10am toms and jack @ 2pm. hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^

thursday post 60c

good evening again! em's new final plodding total for thursday now stands @ 3922. righteo, continuing events?
-some new carer arrived! her name's sherry, and she's chinese!

-PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the bathroom, but then thankfully left sherry and i alone for my nice hot shower - hairwash today. also thanks to sherry who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
-i had one tinkle before sherry flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, creamed and rekitted, only having one more tinkle after sherry put my knickers on.
-after she rinsed the floor once for me, i held her arm and walked to the kitchen for arvo tea.
-zero thanks to horrid PIG mum who told sherry i was only allowed one spoonful of honey with my tea. but @ least sherry gave me a heaped spoonful; it tasted alright.
-then sherry gave me the perfect arvo tea! that's thrice this month, yeah~ i made sure i squirted her a nice big smiley face with the mayo. :)
-as i ate, we just chatted. sherry told me that she lives in algester with her australian boyfriend, who's six months younger than her, and works with tax. and she's two months older than me. she's an enrolled nurse and her mum's coming over from china to visit her next week! she's from workpac, and she and her boyfriend are having chicken curry for dinner tonight.
-sherry took me once more to the toilet, before PIG mum shooed her away.
-i did a stinky unspeakable, after which PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to practise piano for like twenty-five minutes. if there's one thing i REALLY HATE GOD for, it's that he's taken away my ability to play piano with both hands. i wasn't too shabby playing piano, really.
-after that, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to hike the stairs once, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to plod twenty minutes on the bloody treadmill.
-afterwards, i sat and watched fear factor while PIG mum claimed to plod her own twenty.
-dad chucked some spac attack @ me when i went over for dinner. *sigh* but i had rice tonight, with lotsa yummy broccoli, one wee slice of onion, a lil egg, one wee slice of ham, and two tiny chunks of chicken. dinner was washed down with one mug of rice green tea, hopefully sweetened with one teaspoonful of honey.
-i went once to the bathroom after dinner; of course, horrid PIG mum refused to help me. even worse, she decided that watching television was more important to her then watching her only disabled daughter walk safely to the bathroom and back! >< even worse, i need to go once more ...
-unsurprisingly, horrid PIG mum refused to watch me go, but i didn't fall. :)
-toms: UQ physio. hopefully, i can see naz for a burrito afterwards! think i've got some weird follow-up thing in the arvo? dunno what for, though ... aunty lucia's coming to shower me in the arvo, and i'm off to SHINE fellowship toms night! righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

thursday post 60

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 2448 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'singles' and thirdly, i'm still owed SIXTEEN MINUTES online after sherraine leaves!! righteo, events for today?
-i used the pot :P twice last night and once more when dearest dad left for work @ 7:50am. then i spent the ten minutes till 8am 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 i cuddled florence and we returned to our happy snorings.
-i awoke and used the pot :P once more just before 9am, thinking that PIG mum would poke me with "fifteen more minutes,' very soon, but instead, i fell back asleep! it wasn't until ronnie jie jie donged on our doorbell did PIG mum stumble downstairs with the cry, "we overslept!" XD
-the good thing about that was ronnie jie jie just gave me a warm mug of horlicks to drink, then 'twas straight to her car!
-lol, i honestly find it amusing that PIG mum only ever helps me with my seatbelt whenever there's someone around to see her do so, and that whenever she gleefully FORCES :( me to walk, in the presence of someone to watch her, she always keeps her hand on my back; when we're by ourselves, she'd rather KILL me than touch me! XD
-anyways, PIG mum took me once to the loo first, then left me with all the other members.
-today, i seconded the minutes. sue won't be coming anymore, coz she found a new job. :(
-for morning tea break, gabby helped me to the bathroom once, and i let era open the tap lotsa and lotsa times. 'twas harry who helped me back, made me a cuppa, white and two - then gave me a slice of mudcake!
-and then, i got another slice! boyd chopped himself a slice, then said to me, "want some, em?"
'i'm right, thanks," i replied. "i've already got a slice."
'no, have some more!" boyd said. well, who am i to turn down more food? so today, i had TWO thin slices! XD
-the homework topic for next meeting's a lil weird ... something about a place we've read about? dunno.
-PIG mum took me once more to the bathroom before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to foodcourt, all the while chitchatting with ronnie jie jie.
-when they went to get food, i rang dearest dad. :) he was @ west end.
-*sigh* for the SECOND CONSECUTIVE meeting, PIG mum gleefully restricted me to only water again. :( and she took @ least half my chips! >< *sigh* whatever ...
-after lunch, ronnie jie jie tootled me home so i could use the loo once quickly. i also leaned against the side rail and had a quick chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me through the rest of today.
-when ronnie jie jie tootled us off to vincent the bloody physios, i stretched ela for just over ten minutes.
-but the stupid hand lost my immunity today! >< @ least i got a lolly afterwards, though.
-ronnie jie jie detoured and we admired her house from the outside before she drove us home. zero thanks to horrid PIG mum who wouldn't lemme buy a yummy apple and custard danish on the way home. :(
-anyways, she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk inside, and i tootled online. ronnie jie jie left; she's going swimming, now!
-anyways, one happy hour for me online now. :)
-cya tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post72c

one final good evening! em's final, final plodding total for wednesday now stands @ 2770. righteo, final, final events for tonight?
-carol came about three minutes and Forced me to walk to the bathroom for my nice hot shower. first, though, i did my second stinky unspeakable for today.
-'twas a nice hot shower - i washed my hair today, but much thanks to carol who rinsed it out for me, thus freeing era to hold my stupid right eye fully shut.
-i had one tinkle before carol flipped the nice hot water off, got dried and had another tinkle, then got creamed. carol rekitted me; i had one more tinkle when she put my knickers on, and one last when she was putting elf's shoe on.
-after rinsing under the chair for me, carol Forced me to walk to the kitchen to make my own arvo tea. and ZERO thanks to HORRID PIG mum, who told carol i was only allowed one cheese slice REGARDLESS of whether it's the thick or the thin slice! ><
-but i also had a nice juicy pear, and drank one cup of tea, white and two, 'incorrectly'.
-after i'd finished, carol cleared the dishes and started massaging ela. i won't see her for two weeks, coz she's going down to melbourne to care for her elderly mother who's not well.
-carol took me once to the loo, before i signed her off with a smiley face (usually she doesn't get one, like cathy) and gave her a hug, telling her to take care down south.
-i tootled briefly online, until PIG mum awoke from pigland and gleefully forced poor ela to practise piano for about twenty minutes, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to plod on the treadmill for twenty.
-afterwards, i sat and watched the x factor while PIG mum plodded her own twenty. lol, she wouldn't gimme the remote control coz she insisted in watching the x factor! XD one of the contestants was a transexual/whatever you call the people that switch genders! i'm just wondering, did s/he chop her boobs off and change vocal chords? o_O
-dinner afterwards: rice, lotsa yummy broccoli, tomato and egg, one miniscule chunk of chicken. doesn't seem like five veg two meat, looked more like ten veg one meat! XD but no biggie ... dinner was washed down with one mug of rice green tea, hopefully sweetened with one teaspoonful of sugar.
-i went once to the loo after dinner. zero thanks to horrid PIG mum who considered her dinner more important to her than watching her only disabled daughter make it safely to the loo and back, but luckily, i didn't fall. :)
-toms: writers' group! and guess what? ronnie jie jie's taking us! dunno how; think she rang PIG mum and said she had some time off?
-but i've probably got a torture session with vincent the bloody physio afterwards. ><
-cathy's coming to shower me in the arvo, but we're not going to garbo. :(
-but it's icecream night tonight, yay! :D one flat spoonful's always better than none!
-righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. forgot to add! mickey received my bday card! and he says he'll play with me when i return to hong kong next year!!!!! :D *lum sai* (say that in canto) XD
