saturday post77

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 957 steps today and secondly, TWFT topic's 'dealing with lay-offs (3)'. righteo, events for today?
-even though i used the pot :P @ least three times and @ least twice more this morning, i can say i had a great sleep! i guess 'twas just the fact that knowing dearest dad was safely home and with us. :)
-tess came about five minutes early, but lemme sleep all the way until 10:30 before poking me up! XD
-she got me kitted, then i went over to brush my teeth. thanks to tess who squirted out some toothpaste for me.
-afterwards, i went and did a stinky unspeakable, also spending some time leaning against the side rail and 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.
-when i'd finished, tess led me over to wash and dry era, then i we went out to the gobbling :P table together.
-tess made me one bowl of fruit salad (pears, kiwis and strawberries) and also some yummy chicken omelette (dad made that) with toast. i also drank one mug of tea, white and two, 'incorrectly'.
-afterwards, tess massaged ela for about forty minutes, while i played with her iphone.
-around midday, tess took me once more to the loo then made me a warm milo, sweetened with some honey, my second cup to hold 'incorrectly'.
-when dad came home, tess took me once more to the loo, then he tootled me out to the springwood fasta to meet mel and her mum! :D
-when we arrived, the unitt's hadn't yet, so i took a seat then reminded dearest dad that he was supposed to call mrs. unitt 'cheryl'. XD
-after they arrived, we all hugged around, then dad left to have lunch with PIG mum, saying, "ring me when you're done.'
-first, i handed mel her belated xmas present, then we looked @ the menu and ordered.
-we all went for the lunch deal: order one small pasta/small pizza and one dessert. i went for my favourite, fettucine cabonara plus chicken, mrs. unitt went for lasagne ane mel had pizza.
-when mrs. unitt was ordering, mel walked behind me to the toilet once. i managed fine by myself, also letting era open the tap lotsa times.
-back @ the table, i tried to pay mrs. unitt back for lunch, but she refused!
-so we just ate happily and yakked. mel's leaving for afghanistan around august! one of her brother's has gone interstate to work, and they've got a new lil dog to keep rusty company now.
-then we had dessert! i couldn't decide, so mrs. unitt chose sticky date pudding for me, and it came with one scoop of vanilla ice-cream! :D mrs. unitt had chocolate mousse, while mel just had two scoops of chocolate ice-cream.
-this time, i ate faster than mel, who was slowly savouring her ice-cream. :) thanks to mrs. unitt who walked behind me to the loo once more; i managed fine by myself again, but i was feeling so full i almost burped some dessert up!
-anyways, back @ the table, mrs. unitt said 'twas almost time for her to go get one of the boy's soon, so i rang dad and asked him to please come pick me up.
-they both went walked with me to the camry. we all exchanged hugs and goodbyes. :) mel says that after i come back from hong kong in feb, i can find her and her mum for lunch to celebrate my birthday with me in march! :D
-dad tootled us home, and i plopped online.
-after i'd checked for dearest dad that aunty a's flight was in the air, i went to the toilet once more, remembering that we'd all ordered a second round of drinks after eating our main meal (we also all shared one bowl of cheesy garlic bread)
-well, CODA's first failure for the year: amanda can't come shower me, and they couldn't find anyone who could! terrible timing; it's a saturday, and i haven't gotten any help from CODA for sundays for like years! poor ela ... ><
-well, fingers crossed that i can come back online tonight, else it's just church toms, nothing special. fingers crossed i can get chips for lunch somewhere! and pole and christy jie are coming to visit me in the arvo! wonder where we'll go/do?
cheers,
em. ^^
