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. ^^
