saturday post78

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 1047 steps today (phew, just over one grand XD); secondly, TWFT topic's "don't be afraid (3) and thirdly, i'm still owed FORTY-FIVE MINUTES online tonight after cathy leaves!! righteo, events for today?
-i used the pot :P three times last night and once more when PIG mum left for work @ 7:50am. 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. after that, bear bear and i cuddled and snored, me waking to use the pot :P once more around 9:45am.
-and, surprise! tess came ten minutes early today! still, she lemme sleep in till 10:20am before poking me up. XD
-after using the pot :P once more for two tinkles, tess got me kitted, then we walked over to the bathroom together where i brushed my teeth. thanks to tess who squirted me some toothpaste.
-afterwards, i went to the loo and asked tess for one mug of water, please, which was the first i could hold 'incorrectly'. then i did a stinky unspeakable, also leaning against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent conversation to him.
-afterwards, i went to wash and dry era before tess and i walked arm-in-arm out to the gobbling :P table.
-like i've said before, saturday's are my favourite breakfast days! usually, i just get two, sometimes three with the shortest and thinnest stream of honey ever, but on saturdays, dad usually makes ham and eggs. :) then, today tess also gave me almost half a bowlful of some gluggy rice pudding/porridge thing that rodel had made, sprinkled with a lil sugar! nomnomnom~
-when i'd almost finished eating, tess massaged ela for about forty-five minutes. she says elsa's applied to study some TAFE course relating to vet work!
-dad came home and said 'twas time to leave, so tess took me to the loo once more. then, @ the 4WD, she kindly helped me with my seatbelt before we hugged our goodbyes.
-dad tootled me off to springwood, where little karis was celebrating her one-month milestone!
-i held dad's hand and walked into their house, apologising to thomas and daph for not being able to take my shoes off. karis was wide awake and rolling around in her cot. :)
-aunty anne pointed me to a seat, while dad went and reparked the 4WD elsewhere. i leaned over, sniffed daph and said, "hmm, you don't reek. guess you've showered after all, then." XD you see, for the 'sitting month' after a baby's birth, the mum isn't even supposed to shower!
-aunty anne brought me over some wombok and other vegies in a bowl. dad and i also shared half a red hard boiled egg each.
-uncle peter, the proud first-time grandpa, went around taking photos. :) that required i get up and relocate several times, but hey, no biggie.
-i also had a brief chat to thomas' mum! she told me that she's returning back to hong kong @ the start of feb.
-noting that PIG mum was almost finished work, dad decided to leave. thomas showed us out; i called a general good-bye to everyone still present.
-back inside the car, dad again gave me permission to listen to the grease musical soundtrack and he tootled us home.
-back home, i went to the loo once for two tinkles. i was intending to stay for four, but dad ordered me out. no biggie.
-back @ the gobbling :P table, i read the king's speech while dad prepared lunch.
-then he grabbed my ipad and rang cousin winnie for a chat! lol, she was still in bed, the lazybum. XD
-dad gave me about 1/3 a bowl of sticky rice for lunch and about half a mug of plain milk, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-when PIG mum arrived safely home, she too joined in the chat with cousin winnie.
-after she'd finished lunch also, she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk online then headed up to pigland herself.
-well, cathy should arrive to shower me in like ten minutes.
-tonight: dad's invited ppl over for a BBQ! dunno why, but just in case i can't come back online tonight, it's just church toms, nothing special. fingers crossed we can go somewhere yummy for lunch afterwards, then in the arvo, think kwany's coming to visit me and we can exchange pressies!
-then another BBQ toms night - this time, the parents are inviting the ppl nice enough to visit me last year. :) righteo, hope to see everyone @ church toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
