thursday post 80

good afternoon! hey, did you know, last night's final post was my 2500th! XD anyways, today's em's been hard @ work plodding 2538 steps today and TWFT topic's 'rahab (4)'. righteo, events for today?
-i used the pot :P twice last night and once more when dearest dad left for work @ 7:40am. then i spent the ten minutes till 7:50am having a mostly silent 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, before cuddling bear bear and counting away (but not falling back asleep until PIG mum came and poked me with "fifteen more minutes." oh, i also used the pot :P once more before doing that.
-when PIG mum returned, i swung myself over to the pot :P for three more 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 the tap five times.
-she also gleefully forced poor ela to grab me three weetbix before finally letting me sit down. the weetbix i enjoyed with the thinnest and shortest stream of honey ever - and sliced banana!
-afterwards, i went and did a stinky unspeakable before PIG mum tootled me off to the garbo library for writers' group. of course, horrid PIG mum gleefully forces poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and we also listen to westlife's 'where we are' all day, too.
-sadly, both disabled carparks were already occupied when we arrived, meaning PIG mum just parked muych farther away then gleefully FORCED :( me to walk all the way up into the meeting room.
-but 'twas great to see everyone again! :D
-there was a new lady too, with a guide dog! the poor fella has an immensely boring name; so boring i've already forgotten it! XD but she explained to me that her dog came named, so hey. not her fault. XD
-gabby's still recovering from her operation, so huge thanks to pat (short for patricia) who helped me to the loo and back during morning tea. i managed fine by myself, also letting era open the tap lotsa times.
-the homework topic for next fortnight's about sth green ...?
-afterwards, PIG mum took me once to the loo then gleefully FORCED :( me to walk all the way to foodcourt, after being horrid and refusing to take me to the calamvale BBQ chinese restaurant for lunch. :(
-at least she got a chicken katsudon for me, even though she gleefully restricted me to only water for lunch. *sigh* but i also rang dearest dad, who told me he was @ the gap.
-afterwards, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the car and drove us home, still being spiteful and this time refusing to get me two sushi rolls for arvo tea with cathy. :(
-back home, i went to the loo once. of course, horrid PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything myself. but i made it safely to the computer chair without falling. :)
-and now, i've got like two hours online for myself!! :D
-cathy comes @ 4pm to shower me. *sigh*
-fingers crossed i can come back online afterwards, else i really hope PIG mum'll take me to see naz for a kebab toms!! then it's aunty lucia coming to shower me in the arvo.
-oh, it's 1st march, gotta post my bday wishlist for this year! cya soon~
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post92d

one final good evening! em's final, final plodding total for wednesday now stands @ 1526. yay, i'm just over 1.5 grand. :)
-musn't forget that it's ice-cream night tonight! XD
-i'm looking forward to writers' group toms, and all fingers, toes and other appendages are crossed that PIG mum'll take me to the calamvale BBQ chinese restaurant for lunch afterwards, so i can take away half for afternoon tea with cathy, who's coming to shower me! anyways, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. yeah, i took myself once more to the loo; PIG mum was upstairs yakking with aunty winnie on the phone.

wednesday post92c

good evening! em's new final plodding total for wednesday now stands @ 1460. lol, almost 1.5 grand. XD anyways, events after my last post?
-when the parents arose from pigland, dad went to cook dinner, while horrid PIG mum decided to gleefully force me on 10+ mins of posture and ela exercises from that UQ home exercise program that nick had made for me.
-when dinner was finally called, i had rice, lotsa cos lettuce, two small chunks of BBQ chicken and one wee thin strip of spam ham. dinner was washed down with one delicious mug of hot peppermint tea, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-then i returned online.
-well, it's almost 7:55 now, i'm gonna need the loo once more @ 8:30. horrid PIG mum's already said she won't walk behind me, but i know i can rise above god's hatred and make it safely there and back without falling. :)
-cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post92b

hello again! em's new plodding total for wednesday now stands @ 1297. yeah, i'm over one grand (dunno how that happened, coz i've been @ home all day, but hey. XD) anyways, continuing today's events?
-carol came six minutes late today, citing some broken down car somewhere.
-she Forced me to walk to the bathroom for my nice hot shower - i washed my hair today, but thanks to carol who rinsed it out for me, thus freeing era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
-i had one tinkle before carol flipped off the nice hot water, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. carol rekitted me, and i had one more tinkle when she was doing elf's AFO strap and one last when she was drying my glasses after washing them for me.
-carol Forced me to walk out to the kitchen to make my own arvo tea. i tried appealing to her better nature, but alas, still only got one slice of cheese - which was ENTIRELY too thin. *sigh* terrible start to the year, coz i haven't managed to get the perfect arvo tea even once during january and feb, but hopefully, march will bring some success stories. :)
-awesome carol started massaging ela @ 5:25pm, even before i finished munching my toastie, which was cut into six oblongs. guess that what PIG mum means by the 'good' carers, the ones that really care. ela got painted sth like cheese with some kinda sauce dots.
-carol says her hubby's having some kinda burger for dinner tonight, while she's skipping, coz she had a huge lunch. next week, she's coming back monday, tuesday AND wednesday!
-before she left, carol took me once more to the loo.
-i've just finished listening to nine's news and taken myself once more to the loo. both parents are upstairs, presumably sleeping.
-toms: writers' group! i've finished my homework already, and fingers crossed that PIG mum'll take me to the calamvale BBQ chinese restaurant for lunch afterwards, coz cathy's coming to shower me. anyways, fingers crossed i can come back online tonight, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post92

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 883 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'rahab (3) and lastly, i'm still owed thirty-seven minutes ONLINE AFTER CAROL LEAVES!! RIGHTEO, EVENTS FOR TODAY?
- firstly, sorry, shrieking! XD
-i used the pot :P once last night and once more when dearest dad left for work this morning. i asked him, "i thought you said that you were going to eat @ home last night, how come you ended up taking PIG mum out for dinner?" his reply? "we went out to buy dinner for you." *sigh* whatever ...
-anyways, after he left i spent the ten minutes till 8:05am having a mostly silent 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, before cuddling bear bear and snoring till almost midday before getting up. XD
-i went and did a stinky unspeakable, before horrid PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to gleefully, pointlessly and therefore spitefully open the tap five times, before i brushed my teeth, before she gleefully FORCED :( ME TO DO SOME STANDING PRACTICE FOR HER. >< sorry, shrieking again! XD
-breakfast was two weetbix that PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to get. i enjoyed them with the shortest and thinnest stream of honey ever.
-after that, i read my book club novel, while PIG mum tried to find uncle tyrone and discover where aunty yvonne had gone. turns out she got double-booked.
-anyways, i read until PIG mum served lunch. same as sinner last night, maybe another half-bowl of salty fish and chicken fried rice, plus an entire BOWLFUL (i'm not exaggerating, here) of broccoli. lunch was washed down with one mug of yummy warm horlicks, then i went to the loo once (of course, PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything myself) and plopped on the computer and did my writers' group homework.
-turns out that cherrish had rung earlier to say that'd she be about fifteen minutes late. anyways, i went once more to the loo.
-when they arrived, i shook hands with the new lady (although i've already forgotten her name, sorry XD) and went to sit down @ the gobbling :P table.
-basically, i told her what i've been telling cherrish for months: i'll do any job that gets me pay, as long as i can do it sitting down.
-when they left, i went once more to the loo then plopped online.
-carol should come in about thirty minutes. i'm off for some reading. :)
-fingers crossed i can come back tonight, else it's writers' group toms morning! fingers crossed i can get some nice lunch afterwards, then some good time online, coz cathy's coming to shower me in the arvo, but no garbo. :( oh, and it's ice-cream night tonight! :D
cheers,
em. ^^

tuesday post80c

one final good evening! em's final, final plodding total for tuesday now stands @ 1485. lol, almost 1.5 grand. maybe toms. XD anyways, final, final events for tonight?
-cathy came about fifteen minutes late today, citing some work meeting. she Forced me to walk to the bathroom for my nice hot shower - hairwash today. also thanks to cathy who rinsed out my hair for me, thus leaving era free to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
-i had one tinkle before cathy flipped the nice hot water off, she dried me, i had another tinkle then i got creamed. cathy rekitted me, and i had one last tinkle when she was doing elf's AFO straps.
-cathy Forced me to walk out to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea. sadly, she only allowed me one slice of cheese, which was ENTIRELY too thin, but i'm just super-depressed coz that means both jan AND feb have been failures in the arvo tea department. i mean, i only try for two cheese AND mayo once a month, but that hasn't happened in either january or february. >< that's a bad start to the year. :(
-but i also drank one mug of tea, white and two, 'incorrectly'.
-PIG mum came downstairs and told cathy in great detail how sick she'd been feeling.
-time to leave, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to cathy's car. again, i find it simply hilarious that she only ever helps me with her seatbelt whenever there's someone around to see her do so. XD
-cathy tootled us off to toastmasters, listening to b105.
-'twas great to see everyone again! we bumped into glenn when we were entering the building, and the moment amy saw me, she cried, "em!!" and rushed over to hug me. :)
-the meeting was confusing, simply coz the theme was 'moving backwards' and the agenda was followed backwards! like, evaluations before the actual speeches!
-during the break, amy asked me all about my adventures in hong kong. :)
-afterwards, cathy took me once more to the loo (she'd done that when we arrived, also) and i again let era open the tap lotsa and lotsa times.
-thanks to cathy who helped me with my seatbelt, then she tootled us home. but she wouldn't shout me a soft serve. :( caring carers like sharon did!
-meaning she came late and left early. *sigh*
-anyways, dinner was a lil salty fish and chicken fried rice, meaning, AGAIN, PIG mum got to eat out while i didn't. UNFAIR!!!! but *sigh* i'm used to it. ><
-dinner was washed down with another mug of that herbal remedy stuff, then i returned online.
-toms: i think maybe cherrish is coming? not sure. but i haveta complete my writer's group homework! and, best of all, it's ice-cream night toms night! righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

tuesday post80b

*sigh* when nature calls, you gotta listen. but, on the bright side, my new plodding total for tuesday's now 1016, meaning i'm just over one grand! okay, it's improbable i've walked that much today, i've only been housebound, but hey. pedro loves me, even if god doesn't. XD cya tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^

tuesday post80

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 934 steps today and secondly, TWFT topic's 'rehab (2)'. righteo, events for today?
-more happy sleepings this morning. :) the headache has thankfully gone, though the cough and sputum/phlegm are still there.
-this morning, i also went and did a stinky unspeakable around 11am. the trouble began after i'd brushed my teeth; spiteful PIG mum for absolutely ZERO reason, suddenly decided to gleefully force me on standing practice! >< i've said before, most things i do sitting down now, even showering. i can walk short distances when required, but the hardest for me's just standing. *sigh* dunno what happened to mother that made her suddenly that SPITEFUL, but hope it vanishes very soon!
-anyways, breakfast was two weetbix that PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to get for me. she also gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to the couch and get the remote for the television, but after that i enjoyed watching seven's morning news, followed by ABC's midday news.
-after the news, i read cold comfort farm. mightility boring book, that. XD
-PIG mum fed lunch: cream of corn soup with added egg and one ENTIRE CAN of corn kennels and one slice of plain toast era and ahm (em's hungry mouth XD) tore into bite-sized pieces and dropped into the soup.
-after lunch, i went once to the loo then plopped online. again, zero thanks to awful PIG mum who decided that some stupid news show on ABC was more important to her than making sure her only severely disabled daughter made it safely to the loo and back, but i rose above god's hatred and didn't fall.
-anyways, cathy's coming to shower me in the arvo, then we're going out for toastmasters! *sigh* it's my final chance for a perfect arvo tea this month, else jan AND feb will have been complete failures. ><
-if horrid PIG mum won't lemme out for dinner with cathy afterwards, well, she and dad better not either!! i mean, dad already told me this morning that he's just planning eating @ home, meaning if i find out that he had dinner out, it will only be because PIG mum insisted. again, lemme emphasise: i'm not demanding that i get to eat out five days a week while letting my parents eat out only once, i'm asking PIG mum KEEP THINGS FAIR!! like, when she gets to eat out, please lemme eat out also. and that's just not happening right now. ><
-toms: more sleep, hopefully. think PIG mum says aunty yvonne's coming instead of aunty frances? and, best of all, ice-cream night toms night! i'll haveta see what i can do about getting PIG mum an ice-cream scoop for her anniversary present this year. :P
-anyways, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

monday post 82d

one final good evening! em's final, final plodding total for monday now stands @ 1469. righteo, final, final events for tonight?
-PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to the gobbling :P table, where she gleefully forced poor ela on more than ten minutes of hand exercises, just the home program the 4th year NAB students had made last week for me.
-after that, i read cold comfort farm until dad called dinner. i don't like the book much; the cows there have awful names, like 'hopeless' and 'aimless'! ><"
-dinner was rice, lotsa choy sum (or some asian vegetable XD) about three wee strips of yummy BBQ chicken and three tiny lumps of yummy spam ham. dinner was washed down with one mug of yummy peppermint tea, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'. then i returned online.
-when nature called again, i asked PIG mum to please walk behind me to the loo, but she was horrid and refused. *sigh* it really hurts, finding out that the television show your mother's watching is more important to her than the safety of her only disabled daughter. >< but i rose above god's hatred and didn't fall.
-PIG mum's gone upstairs to shower now; presumably she'll be down to gleefully force me off to bed @ 9:30pm, but really, i should stay online till 10pm, coz she couldn't care less about walking behind me to the toilet! ><
toms: hopefully, another late morning sleep-in, breakfast, news, lunch, loo, then precious net time. cathy's taking me along to toastmasters toms night; i've almost given up hope of her massaging ela longer than twenty minutes; well, as PIG mum explains to me, only the really 'caring' carers will go beyond what the care plan says. and i must persevere with my attempt to get some dinner after toastmasters!! that stupid kris has gone, and i know cathy and i won't get into any arguements; it's simply not FAIR that my parents get to enjoy a meal out but i don't!!!! anyways, hope that everyone has a smashing day toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

monday post 82c

good evening! em's new final plodding total now stands @ 1339. righteo, continuing events?
-carol Forced me to walk to the bathroom for my nice hot shower - i washed my hair today, but thanks to carol who rinsed it out for me, thus freeing era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
-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 more tinkle she was doing elf's AFO straps.
-carol Forced me to walk out to the kitchen to make my own arvo tea. sadly, carol only ever allows one slice of cheese, so 'twas ENTIRELY too thin. i'm in despair here; i reckon i said fairly low standards, like two cheese OR mayo once a week and two cheese AND mayo once a month, but january was a complete failure, and february will be too, if cathy won't gimmee the perfect arvo tea toms. ><
-anyways, i drank one mug of tea, white and two, 'incorrectly', and after i'd finished, carol gave ela a massage for thirty minutes, painting her lamington with jam dots today. she's back on wednesday, and is having some kinda chicken thai pasta for dinner tonight.
-before she left, she took me once more to the loo, and after she left, i listened to nine's news until PIG mum woke from pigland.
-hmm, brb~
cheers,
em. ^^

-yay, awesome sleep last night! nature didn't call till 6:05am, after which i spent the ten minutes till 6:15am having a mostly silent 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, waking briefly to kiss dearest dad good-bye when he left for work around 8am then once more around 10am when nature called again.
-by 11am, i was ready to get up. calling for PIG mum, i swung myself over to the pot :P once more for three more tinkles, PIG mum got me kitted (well, my AFO and shoes) then gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the bathroom, where she gleefully, pointlessly and therefore spitefully forced poor ela to open the tap five times, then, to top that all off, even chucked some cow @ me while i was brushing my teeth! *sigh* i mean, the hardest thing for me now's just standing; next time, could you please hold in your vicious temper until AFTER i'm seated?! ><"
-anyways, after PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the kitchen, she gleefully forced poor ela to grab me two weetbix for breakfast, before i was FINALLY allowed to sit.
-the weetbix i enjoyed with the shortest and thinnest stream of honey ever; PIG mum also demanded that i drink one full mug of water first. i complied, but held the cup 'incorrectly'.
-i tried watching the news, but every single channel was too busy showing keven rudd's defeat acceptance speech! cawol :P will prolly comment on that when she gets here; she's always liked him. XD
-so around 12:30pm i asked PIG mum please to put on the episode of house that she taped for me last night. she did, after gleefully FORCING :( me to walk over to the couch first.
-but house, as always, was awesome. only cameron's gone - and cuddy, too!! funny thing was masters asking chase out for a drink after work and him accepting. :P
-afterwards, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk back to the gobbling :P table for lunch, which was two yummy crumbed fish with a little mayo. thanks to PIG mum who mashed it all it up for me first. XD but she only lemme drink water, *sigh* no biggie, but i drank holding the cup 'incorrectly'.
-after lunch, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to the sink, where she gleefully forced poor ela to wash all the day's dishes for her.
-afterwards, i went to the loo once more before plopping online. zero thanks to PIG mum who couldn't be bothered watching me walk safely there and back, but i rose above god's hatred and didn't fall.
-actually, PIG mum also gave me this container of juicy seedless purple grapes which i happily munched, then went once more to the loo afterwards.
--anyways, carol's coming in like thirty minutes; i'm gonna see if i can find any fanfiction with masters and chase! XD fingers crossed i can come back online tonight, else hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

-i washed my hair today, and i guess i haveta thank PIG mum, who only gleefully forced poor ela to scrub various body parts only twenty times tonight and not forty.
-i dried and rekitted myself. PIG mum only helped with my AFO; the rest i did myself.
-PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the gobbling :P table and dad immediately called dinner.
-rice tonight, with lotsa choy sum and a lil bit of surprisingly unsalty meat brisket. dinner was spooned down with a bowlful of warm soup, which, for some reason, made me sweat really badly!
-after that, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk back to the computer.
-anyways, hopefully, PIG mum'll really lemme sleep toms. late morning rise, breakfast, lunch then net, hopefully.
-but what i'm really hoping for's that PIG mum'll really lemme watch house tonight!! i mean, UQ physio doesn't start till the week after, and today PIG mum said she'd gimmee one more week to rest up! anyways, hopefully cya later, else hope everyone has a smashing week!

-halfway through, we ate crunchy yoghurt! mine was apple crumble, there was also museli and some fruit one. nomnomnom~
-after the movie, binda kindly walked behind me to the loo once more, then we all sat @ the gobbling :P table and yakked.

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 540 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'is god disciplining you?'; thirdly, the spam count for the weekend's six and lastly, i'm still owed ONE HOUR and FIVE MINUTES online after julz and binda leave!! righteo, events for today?
-well, this morning, PIG mum was coming to poke me awake with "fifteen more minutes" but she stopped, looked @ me and asked, "how are you feeling today?" i confessed truthfully, "my throat's sore."
-thus PIG mum decided we'd not attend church today. i appreciated the rest, sleeping until midday before calling PIG mum.
-after two tinkles in the pot :P and going to brush my teeth, PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to grab me three weetbix for breakfast. the weetbix i enjoyed with the thinnest and shortest stream of honey ever, and also some banana!
-dad came home safely from church, and ate his lunch while i read cold comfort farm. the new book club novel, it's turning out spectacularly boring. :P
-one more loo trip for me (of course, PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything) then i plopped online.
-well, julz and binda are coming to visit me this arvo! hopefully we'll have some fun together~
-only, i really, REALLY wanna watch house tonight!! problem is, it's not starting till 9:45, and i'm doubting PIG mum'll allow me to stay up that late. but all fingers, toes and other appendages crossed!!
-also, i think PIG mum's allowing me to rest for one more week before i resume physio. my endless thanks~
-righteo, hope to see everyone tonight, else hope everyone has a smashing week!

saturday post80c

one final good evening! em's final, final plodding total for saturday now stands @ 2190. score, i'm over two grand. :) righteo, continuing last night's events!
-after charades, vicki led worship. i didn't sing anything out aloud, but clapped for hosanna.
-we split into groups and prayed first. i don't mind praying, but if asked if i'll speak, will always decline.
-right after prayer, vicky asked me did i need the loo! lol, i usually wait till 9:30 before asking her; 'twas only 9:10pm then, but hey, i said yes and we went.
-i managed fine by myself, also letting era open the tap lotsa times.
-but epic fail walking back to the meeting room. the floor was wet from the day's rain, and when i took the one step onto the room's tiles, my foot slipped and i crashed to the floor. i thought i went down silently, but my AFO must've clacked or sth, coz thomas and uncle kelvin immediately noticed and rushed over. thanks to thomas who hauled me back up, then helped me back to my seat.
-last night, thomas led a bible study focusing on john chapter one. we split up several times to discuss questions.
-afterwards, dad picked me up. we took a detour through the UF room, said hello to several people, then dad tootled me home.
-repeat the usual nightly events, then zzz.
-today: this morning, when PIG mum left for work, i sadly told her about my epic failure last night. ><
-then i slept until tess came around 10am. some visitors did come knocking, though i'm not sure who.
-she got me up, kitted. i went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth; thanks to tess who squirted me some toothpaste.
-afterwards, i went to the loo and tried for a stinky unspeakable, though nothing came out.
-after three tinkles, i called for tess, who walked with me out to the gobbling :P table.
-thanks to dad for some ham and eggs, thanks to tess for some cheese and cool bread. that was washed down with one mug of milo, i wonder why not tea?
-after breakfast, tess massaged ela, while i surfed the net with her iphone. someone rang, i answered for tess, then gave her the phone. tess told the ringer that i'm her sister! wonder why?
-around midday, tess took me again to the loo, and i did a stinky unspeakable. back @ the gobbling :P table, tess made me one mug of tea, white and two.
-before she left, tess took me once more to the loo.
-lunch was half a bowl of egg fried rice and lotsa vegies, plus one mug of yummy iced lemon tea; thanks to tess who dropped in several ice cubes for me.
-when PIG mum came home, she took me once to the loo, then gleefully kicked me off to bed. but like i said, i wasn't sleep, so didn't sleep. instead, i just sang my two second-favourite songs silently.
-i tried calling once @ 3:45 could i FINALLY use the net yet, but dad refused. ><
-when cathy arrived, she rolled me into the bathroom, but wouldn't lemme use my showerchair to shower with! ><
-but hairwash today. also much thanks to cathy who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing era to hold my stupid right eye shut.
-i had one tinkle before cathy flipped the nice hot water off, she dried me and i had another tinkle, then i tried to get creamed but couldn't, coz the jar was empty! XD
-instead, cathy rekitted me, rinsed under the chair then Forced me to walk out to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea.
-*sigh* well, i got mayo, meaning this week's all satisfied, but one cheese was ENTIRELY too thin. *sigh* i only ask for two cheese AND mayo once a month and january was a complete failure; looks like feb will be, too. ><
-also, cathy never massages ela longer than twenty minutes! is she just lazy?
-anyways, one more loo trip for me before she left.

friday post 78b

hello again! em's new plodding total for friday now stands @ 1795. righteo, continuing today's events?
-dad placed chilli PIG sausage behind me, then said to lie down while i sucked the strepsil. he came back twice to check on me; the third time he came around, i'd fallen back asleep! XD
-but dad poked me back awake, bade me drink another mug of water, then returned my mouth splint to me and bade me good night again.
-i returned to sleep, waking twice more to use the pot :P and to yell upstairs to alert PIG mum when the phone rang twice.
-by midday, i'd slept enough and called out to PIG mum, to please help me up. she came, saying to wait, coz she was still having breakfast. so i returned to bed and sang my original second-favourite song silently until PIG mum was finished eating.
-i swung myself over to the pot :P for one more tinkle, but swung myself back when i realised i felt like doing a stinky unspeakable.
-PIG mum kindly passed me one mug of water - which i was very careful to take and give back 'correctly', then i did a stinky unspeakable, also leaning briefly against the side rail and having a mostly silent 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.
-afterwards, i had the yummy sausage bun i brought from breadtop last night for breakfast, plus one mug of warm horlicks. then PIG mum fetched my new book club novel (which dad had very kindly picked up for me from the logan north last night) and i read that until PIG mum said 'twas time to see the doctor.
-of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day; we also listened to westlife's 'where we are' all day too.
-when PIG mum tootled us off for her appointment with dr. wall, era helped ela stretch for ten minutes.
-after we arrived, as PIG mum was gleefully FORCING me to walk into the sunnybank medical centre, i told her, "PIG mum, the only reason i'm not complaining @ you for not letting me use sparkless is coz you're sick. i know that when i see the doctor, i must walk, but this is YOUR appointment. i should be using my manual wheelchair."
-when we arrived, the receptionist said hi, PIG mum took me once to the loo, then i washed and dried both hands while she went herself.
-back outside, PIG mum handed me an OK! mag to browse, while she went to see dr. wall for her blood test results. donna and i had a short chat; she saw me and called out "hello miss emily." XD i also exchanged greetings with dr. wall, after he'd seen PIG mum.
-after her appointment was done, PIG mum tootled us home, refusing to pick up any lunch from maccas for me, saying "there's a banana on the kitchen table."
-meaning i went hungry without lunch. :( i just plopped online until aunty lucia came around 4pm.
-after having a brief yak to PIG mum, aunty lucia Forced me to walk 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, she dried me and i had another tinkle, then i tried to get creamed, but couldn't, coz the jar was empty! XD aunty lucia rekitted me, then Forced me to walk out to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea.
-i had that yummy cookie bun i'd bought from breadtop last night! tasted just like some fancy polo bun. XD the mug of milk aunty lucia kindly poured me i took for my cup for today to hold 'incorrectly'.
-after i'd finished, i signed aunty lucia off and she took me once more to the loo. she's having chicken wings and sausages for dinner tonight, BTW.
-when she left, i returned online, and am just listening to seven's news right now. oh, and i went once more to the loo by myself around 6pm, and didn't fall. :)
-off to SHINE fellowship tonight~
-toms: tess comes @ 10am, cathy @ 4pm. must remember to ask eith parent to buy cheese, ham and mayo toms.
-righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^

friday post 78

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 1424 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'suffering because of...'; thirdly, the spam count for the week's eight (lol, not even double digits! two years ago, it'd have been in like the triple digits! XD) and lastly, i'm still owed THIRTY MINUTES online after aunty lucia comes and helps with my shower!! righteo, let's start off with last night's events first!
-my new carer from workpac was jess! and she's my first worker from workpac who's australian!
-while i showered, we just chatted. she's twenty-seven, engaged and studying nursing!
-after my shower, we left for garbo! huge thanks to PIG mum who lemme use sparkless all night coz i still wasn't feeling 100%.
-@ the library, i read chapters three and four from servant of the empire. surprisingly, jess stayed with me and read gossip mags!
-after going to the bathroom once, we wheeled me down to the crepe cafe. only, it's gone! instead, some new crepe place called 'gr8' had taken over.
-much thanks to jess who read out the menu for me, coz i couldn't see them from my height.
-i picked some aussie crepe with egg, bacon and chese! nomnomnom~ also much thanks to jess who got me some salt (she offered, i didn't ask for any) and cut it up for me after i ate all the vegetables with it(lettuce, tomato and onion). she only got herself a coke and after, a coffee.
-suddenly, her fiancee plopped along! we shook hands, although i've forgotten his name, sorry. >< either adrian/damien.
-after dinner, jess took me to the loo once more. this time, i let era open the tap lotsa, lotsa and lotsa times.
-then we went to that fruit shop near coles and bought the tomatoes/onions that PIG mum had requested.
-after, i tried buying bread from the downstairs breadtop for the first time! i got myself a sausage bun for breakfast today and some kinda COOKIE bun for arvo tea this arvo!
-shopping all done but still with several bucks in hand, our last stop was maccas for a mcflurry. :) and i tried some new one! caramel crunch, yumyum! only i gave myself brain freeze twice coz i ate too fast. XD
-while i ate, jess told me(and showed me mobile photos of) cakes she had made; apparently, she's an accomplished baker! i laughed, and put my order down for a birthday cake. XD
-some more strolling around and window shopping. lol, jess bumped into one of her old schoolmate's mum! she was selling the great bargains available @ zelow's, some jewellery store. we shook hands, and she told us that she's finished in one more minute. "in that case, i said, "stop chatting to me and market this ring you're holding to me!" she laughed, and did! XD "see this beautiful ring," she spoke into the microphone but looking directly @ me, "it was $1600 but now it's only $600! definitely a bargain, hey?" XD
-one more loo trip, then 'twas time to go home. jess said she'd add me on facebook! good, coz i've forgotten her surname; sth like 'alfee'. XD
-back home, repeat the usual nightly routine, zzz.
-this morning: another great sleep, yay! nature didn't call until about 5:50.
-only after a loo trip, i realised my throat was really sore!! ><
-hearing dad move around the house (he's an early riser) i called out to him and asked please for a strepsil. dad asked me, "is your throat sore, or just dry?" i replied, "maybe just dry, but right now it's also really sore!" so dad got me one mug of water, then popped me a lemon and honey strepsil.
-hey, aunty lucia's here now, so fingers crossed i can bbl, else i'm off to SHINE fellowship tonight and tessa's coming @ 10am toms. righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^

thursday post 79

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 1237 steps today and secondly, TWFT topic's 'step out in faith and do it!' righteo, events for today?
-this morning, dad and i blew kisses to each other again. :) gosh, i can't wait until he's all better then i can fully kiss him!!
-after PIG mum gave me fifteen more minutes, i used the pot :P for three tinkles, she got me kitted, then ordered me over to the bathroom to brush my teeth.
-so, naturally, i use the loo once more before heading outside and chomping on a yummy breakfast of two weetbix with the thinnest and shortest stream of honey ever.
-PIG mum tootled me off to UQ for physio. well, not really. this bunch of new students get you for two hours, run tests, create a program for you. you're their guinea pig and get two free NAB sessions in return.
-but i did a stinky unspeakable before sitting in the waiting room; kat walked me in.
-i was left with a bunch of about five students, four girls and one boy.
-the boy did the most talking, after i gave my brief history.
-first, they checked out my vision/there lackof.
-that was followed by lotsa standing and balance practice.
-finally, i got to lie down on the plinth! proprioception testing stuff.
-someone quickly printed off an exercise program for me, then we worked on some exercises for ela.
-kat came and fed me a monte carlo bikkie! :D
-before we left, PIG mum took me once more to the loo.
-*sigh* horrid PIG mum wouldn't take me to the sushi station for some tori katsu udon, claiming she felt too ill. ><
-but she compromised, buying us some sushi. while she did so, i rang dearest dad, who was @ geebung.
-back home, i went once to the loo. of course, PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything, even refusing to walk behind me back to the gobbling :P table! but luckily, i rose above god's hatred and didn't fall. :)
-lunch was yummy. :) i washed that down with one mug of yummy rice green tea, hopefully sweetened with one teaspoonful of honey, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-one more loo trip for me afterwards, then i plopped online.
-some new worker called jessica from workpac is taking me out to garbo tonight!
-only horrid PIG mum already said i couldn't have KFC, only crepe cafe. :(
-toms: dunno what's happening, but gosh, i hope PIG mum'll take me to see naz for a kebab! then, aunty lucia's coming to shower me around 5pm, before it's off to SHINE fellowship i go. righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post91c

one final good evening! em's final, final plodding total for wednesday now stands @ 948. lol, just shy of one grand. perhaps tomorrow. XD
-but tomorrow will only happen if the stupid fever still plaguing me buggers off completely!! around 6pm, i had a 0.4 degree fever; just then, it had dropped to 0.3 degrees, but i need it to bugger off completely if i'm to have any chance whatsoever of going to UQ toms and garbo toms night!!
-anyways, after bargaining with PIG mum, i'm off to bed @ 9:20pm. which is still ridiculously early, but hey.
-righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post91b

good evening! em's new plodding total for wednesday now stands @ 835. lol, sorry, still not one grand. maybe toms. XD righteo, continuing today's events?
-dinner was rice, lotsa yummy wombok and little tong vegetable plus one strip of BBQ chicken. dinner was washed down with one mug of delicious peppermint tea, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-afterwards, i went to do my second stinky unspeakable - only, nothing came out!
-instead, i returned online.
-only, i NEED this bloody fever to disappear, like, NOW! see, i've got a long UQ physio session toms, and i can't attend if i'm running a fever!! also, i'm meant 2b going out to garbo toms night!!
-and, i've just remembered, phew. ice-cream night tonight! :D
-righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post91

good ... umm, afternoon/evening! (it's 6:15pm already, but it's still so light outside! what's the proper greeting? XD) anyways, today, i've only been hard @ work plodding 705 steps today coz i haven't been out and TWFT topic's 'your habits determine your future'. righteo, events for today?
-okay, for some odd reason, i awoke last night absolutely DRENCHED with sweat! mother kindly came downstairs and helped me change my tee, then i continued sleeping.
-this morning, dearest dad didn't kiss me good-bye!! *wails* i think he got one of the minions to gimmee an eye-kiss, then he left! i wailed, "dad, you didn't say bye to me!!" >< dad came back inside, kissed my hand, then said, "no kissing your face until we're all better."
-meaning today, i slept all the way till 4pm before getting up!! i did wake once @ 1:30pm and go do a stinky unspeakable, but then returned to more sleeping. PIG mum did come in twice, once with a mug of warm horlicks, the other time with a mug of hot water, but other than that, i slept undisturbed.
-lol, when carol arrived, PIG mum kept her gossiping for like, THIRTY minutes BEFORE I NOTICED THAT MY BEDROOM DOOR WAS LEFT OPEN BUT MY AIRCON WAS STILL ON - sorry, shrieking! >< - and i called out to them.
-*sigh* i almost got another shower in my showerchair, too! too bad sneaky PIG mum noticed and demanded that i switch showerchairs. just meant that the legs and feet only got a short wash. :(
-on the bright side, PIG mum told carol to make my toastie for me, coz i was sick. meaning no complaints about having only one slice of cheese was ENTIRELY too thin.
-i also drank one mug of tea, white and two, 'incorrectly'. carol enjoyed a cuppa with me, and i gave her the souvenir PIG mum got her from hong kong. :) smelly lavender cream. XD
-actually, coz PIG mum was so busy gossiping with carol, carol lost track of the time! suddenly seeing 'twas 6pm already, she let carol take me to the loo, then booted her away. carol's having leftover pasta with red sauce and will be back on monday, BTW.
-i plopped online after the loo trip. the parents are having dinner together now. dad says i'm to eat alone until we're all better coz he doesn't wanna risk infecting me. >< or vice versa.
-but i feel like doing a stinky unspeakable after dinner.
-and i need this low-grade fever to bugger off, like, NOW! coz i'm supposed to attend some two hour physio session @ UQ where i'm the gunea pig; it gets me two free NAB lessons afterwards. and i jolly well can't go if i'm running a fever!!
-also, cathy's taking me out to garbo toms night!!
-hry, bbl, dinnertime!
cheers,
em. ^^

-disaster struck last night. >< i awoke with a pounding headache, knew i had a fever. bear bear banished oem and voem to the side of the bed, scared that i'd infect them.
-this morning, PIG mum took my temperature and said "yup, you've got a 102 degree fever." and went to book me in to see dr. lin.
-i brushed my teeth, did a stinky unspeakable, then had two weetbix with a little honey and sliced banana for breakfast!!
-then dad tootled us off to see dr. lin. we listened to westlife's 'where we are' all day, and of course, horrid PIG mum gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, too.
-only the good health medical centre's undergoing some kinda renovations? the entrance has vanished, it's been replaced by some wall! meaning i lean against said wall while PIG mum looks for some entrance.
-entrance found, she takes me to the loo once then we all sit and wait for dr. lin.
-when she comes, i sadly tell her, "dr. lin, your favourite pincushion has deflated. i'm running a fever." >< 'oh dear!" she responded. "i'd better examine you first!" she does the doctor stethoscope thing and the 'poke stick down throat and say ahh thing' then concludes i've caught some nasdty virus. next, she examines dad then finally, PIG mum.
-afterwards, PIG MUM SENDS DAD TO BUY OUR ANTIBIOTICS AND TAKES ME TO THE LOO ONCE MORE. sorry, shrieking! ><
-then, dad drives us home and cooks us congee with lotsa yummy boiled kailan and some BBQ chicken for lunch. i get like 1.5 bowls, yummy.
-afterwards, PIG mum takes me to the loo once more, and takes my temperature once more. sadly, i'm still running a slight temperature, although it's better than the 102 i was running this morning.
-i pop online and dad goes out to buy us some food for dinner.
-well, PIG mum should gleefully force me off to bed fairly soon ... i get my second hour tonight. and dearest dad'sa just come home. :)

-she Forced me to walk to the bathroom for my nice hot shower - i washed my hair today, but thanks to carol who rinsed it out for me, thus freeing era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
-i had one tinkle before carol flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, had another tinkle, then got creamed. carol rekitted me, then Forced me to walk out to the kitchen to make my arvo tea.
-sadly, carol only ever allows one cheese - therefore ENTIRELY too thin - but we're also outta mayo! >< 'twas a sad, dry toastie for me, today. :( but i also ate one yummy juicy kiwi and drank one cup of tea, white and two, 'incorrectly'.
-afterwards, carol massaged ela for about thirty minutes while we watched ten's news. the most interesting surname i found was 'trembly'.
-before i went once more to the loo, carol kindly poured me one mug of milk to drink. ahh, that was what i'd been waiting for. :)

monday post 81

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 638 steps today (not lots, but hey, i slept till 2pm today! XD) and secondly, TWFT topic's 'stop doubting yourself'. righteo, events for today?
-i used the pot :P twice last night. hearing PIG mum move around upstairs, i called out to her, "hey, mum, why aren't you asleep yet?" she came downstairs and said she was thirsty and got some water to drink; i replied, "hey, i'm really thirsty too, can you please pass me a cup also? @ first, PIG mum said she'd boil some warm water from the kettle for me, but came back with a cup saying, "actually, the water i boiled earlier's still warm, drink it."
-after that, i returned to sleep, waking again @ 5:50am to use the pot :P once more before having a mostly silent 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.
-one more pot :P trip when PIG mum left to see the dentist, then i happily slept all the way till PIG mum returned, @ 2pm!
-so i counted fifteen minutes then called out, asking PIG mum please to help me get up, but was met with the response, "i'm having lunch. you can wait." fifteen minutes after that, i called out again, seeing if PIG mum had finished eating, only this time, dad told me, "mum's in the loo. wait." fifteen minutes later, i called out again, "um, PIG mum, did you like, fall into the loo, or sth?" XD
-finally, an irate mother came, demanded i struggle with putting on my own pants and shoes then gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to brush my teeth.
-afterwards, i went out to the gobbling :P table, dad immediately chucking some spac attack @ me that i asked him to walk behind me. personally, i'm not really sure what he finds so offensive about it; in no way is he supporting my weight, but if he's behind me he can reach out with a steadying hand should i start to fall! but, *sigh*.
-brunch was some charsiu rice! plus lotsa bok choy, plus a little chicken. sadly, dad only gave me water and not milk to drink, but i'll see if i can persuade carol to pour me some later. :)
-after eating, i read the king's speech for a lil while, then asked dad to please lemme play with mt ipad for awhile.
-'twas lotsa fun! when dad ordered that i move to the main computer, i went and did a stinky unspeakable first.
-nature called twice more afterwards, but i managed the loo trip successfully without falling over. :)
-anyways, carol should arrive in about ten minutes. gosh, i've missed her!
-toms: more bed rest, presumably. hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

sunday post80b

one final good evening! em's final, final plodding total for sunday now stands @ 2214. righteo, final, final events for tonight?
-dad booted me offline @ 4pm, demanded that i hit the sack for two hours. after using the loo once, i complied, but didn't really sleep, just singing my two second-favourite songs and my favourite song silenty inside my head.
-but i must've fallen asleep, coz when nature called and i swung myself to the pot :P for three tinkles, i glanced @ the clock and saw that 'twas already 6:05pm!! what happened to dad's PROMISE that he'd wake me to watch the 6pm news?!
-meaning i yelled blue murder and banged the wall with era until dad came downstairs. dunno why he refused to help me pull on my pants, but he helped with my shoes, thanks.
-i went outside, turned on the television and watched the last twenty minutes of seven's news, read by angie asimus and sport by shane webcke. then i watched sunday night while the parents ate dinner. dad said i can't eat with them coz they don't wanna give their germs to me.
-dad went with me once to the loo before i had my dinner. rice tonight, with lotsa some vegetable (meaning, i've forgotten what, gomen! ><) and four exceedingly thin but delicious slices of charsiu.
-dinner was washed down with one bowl of yummy warm potato, carrot, tomato and onion soup.
-afterwards, i continued reading the king's speech, with the aim of reading till 8:25, using the loo once then spending my last hour online till 9:30pm.
-only, dad ordered me off to the loo @ 9:10pm! even worse, he wouldn't walk behind me, but luckily, i rose above god's hatred and didn't fall.
-toms: fingers, toes and all other appendages crossed that PIG mum won't suddenly decide to book some torture session for me with vincent the bloody physio! >< nah, i hope both parents rest up well, and get better soon. :)
-me, i'll prolly sleep till late morning also, get up, have brunch, read/ring alice, then plop online and wait for carol's return! only thing ... we have nothing in the house @ present, and i doubt the parents will go buy anything toms, so what will i have for arvo tea? :S anyways, will think about that toms. righteo, hope everyone has a smashing week!
cheers,

-well, i had another sound sleep last night, with nature not calling till 5:50, but while over the potty, i noticed that i had a sore throat and then i started coughing! >< "oh, cripes," i thought. "dad's infected PIG mum, who of course had to give it to me." ><
-meaning we didn't attend church this morning. after i went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, PIG mum fed me one mug of warm horlicks then dad tootled all three of us to see the doctor @ the good health medical centre.
-she took me once to the gents toilet first; the female toilet was occupied.
-then i chatted to kylie! which reminds me; i said i'd e-mail her.
-dr. chowdhury (sp?) saw us; he wrote antibiotics for both parents but just prescribed lotsa warm water and bed rest for me.
-after that, dad tootled us straight home. i'd tried asking PIG mum could we please grab some maccas for lunch, but was just told that i'm inconsiderate?
-anyways, got home, read the king's speech a bit.
-lunch was some egg, ham and tomato with some toast. no cheese, sadly, but oh well. i also drank one mug of cold milo 'incorrectly'.
-afterwards, i went once to the loo, then PIG mum had me translate sth for aunty nga's workmate/friend.
-dunno what she's doing now.
-me, i'm sad coz PIG mum's already rung some aunty and told them to tell kwany and joey not to come visit me this arvo. :(
-but i'm getting my naruto fix right after i publish this post, then just fingers crossed i can come back online afterwards! if i can't, well, hope everyone has a smashing week, coz i dunno what i'm doing (if anything) toms! XD
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. actually, just went and did a stinky unspeakable. i drank the entire mug of water PIG mum had given me first; she came downstairs to change the toilet roll for me, but refused to wait and see me out of the loo first! luckily, i rose above god's hatred and didn't fall. :) halfway through, though, i had to go switch on the exhaust fan, coz 'twas so bloody hot! XD

saturday post79c

one final good evening! em's final plodding total now stands @ 1083. yeah, i'm just over one grand. :) actually, that was meant 2b my final, final plodding total for saturday, but absurd PIG placed an ENTIRE, LARGE mug of water and demanded that i drink it ALL for her, so i'm expecting i'll need the loo once more before i sleep. anyways, continuing today's events?
-well, when PIG mum came downstairs and reheated dinner, she couldn't be bothered to walk behind me to the gobbling :P table for dinner! o_O" sometimes, i honestly suspect she just does that so she CAN laugh @ me when i fall. ><"
-but i managed to walk unsteadily to the gobbling :P table without falling over. :) dinner was rice, lotsa bok choy ... maybe some meat? a vegetarian dinner, anyhow.
-dinner was was washed down with one small mouthful of water, one garlic tablet and two echinacaea (sp?) tablets. then i went once more to the loo, still without supervision, but still without falling. :)
-PIG mum came over with my leftover mug of water and demanded that i finish it for her, but also refusing in advance to walk behind me! now, that's just SPITEFUL. ><
-meaning i'm only taking a sip every few minutes. XD
-toms: again, just church, nothing special. dr. lee's already told me that aunty a's bible stusy class is in the little house, meaning i'm telling mother toms that either she tells dad to drop me off near the little house, or if dad insists on parking all the way @ the church entrance, thus condemning me to some long and arduous walk, that PIG mum bring a dry set of clothing to change me into after i get to the little house, coz i'll be drenched from walking in the hot sun. oh, and another set, coz i'll be drenched again after bible study, when i walk to the main hall for service.
-and fingers crossed that we can hit plaza for lunch toms! even cafe mi's better than just returning home for lunch!
-also fingers crossed that kwany'll come to visit me toms, coz i've several pandas loudly demanding i hand them to their rightful owner! XD righteo, hope to see everyone @ church toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

saturday post79b

hello again! em's new plodding total for saturday now stands @ 978. lol, almost one grand. anyways, continuing events?
-lol, our doorbell must've stopped working again, coz around 4pm, i heard a voice calling, "hello? anybody home?' XD
-meet my new carer, selina ling! she's from singapore, has just graduated nursing and lives in calamvale!
-she gave me a nice hot shower, after PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the bathroom - hairwash today. also thanks to selina who rinsed out my hair for me, leaving era free to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
-i had one tinkle before selina flipped the nice hot water off, she dried me, i got creamed and had another tinkle. selina rekitted me, and i had one more tinkle when she was doing elf's AFO straps.
-after rinsing the floor once for me, i laughed my head off when selina said to me, "stand up and i'll dry your 'pet pet' for you. ('pet pet' being your backside in canto XD)
-i held selina's hand and walked out to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea.
-sadly, we're outta mayo, but selina gave me two cheese, meaning yay, this week's been fulfilled!
-i also drank one mug of tea, white sweetened with one spoonful of honey, 'incorrectly'. selina made herself a dry piece of toast.
-we chatted while we ate. turns out, selina's a younger twin! she's got @ least two older brothers, one younger brother and lives @ stretton. and beat this - her mum comes over every three months to visit her!
-after finishing arvo tea (and sucking the teabag once XD), selina massaged ela for about forty minutes, painting her white with dark blue spots.
-before she left, selina took me once more to the loo before leaving.
-sadly, i couldn't get the news simulcast working, but i'll just read some articles from news.com.au later.
-expect dinner'll get called soon. poor dad's still resting.
-fingers crossed i can come back after dinner, else it's just church toms, nothing special. and fingers crossed i can hit food court for lunch afterwards!
cheers,
em. ^^

saturday post79

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 806 steps today and secondly, TWFT topic's 'your golden years (2)'. righteo, let's start off with last night's events first!
-dinner was all thanks to aunty winnie, some fried vermicelli and some congee. dad made me one mug of rice green tea and squirted some honey in for me.
-then, one more loo trip, and dad tootled me off to SHINE fellowship!
-onbly ... no-one was @ church yet? when dad pulled over, maybe he forgot to indicate, coz the car behind us sounded it's horn, and some irate male voice yelled, "you effing wanker!" but luckily, left it @ that.
-but thomas soon arrived, and i went inside. :)
- fellowship started with only seven people, though two more arrived later. first up, vicky started us playing charades playing with bible characters! i drew nebuchadnezzar (sp?) and whisphered to vicky, "i know he's a king, but that's all!" she laughed and pulled out her bible and lemme read his story. XD then i mimed a crown to winnie, before pretending to fall asleep and drawing a dream bubble above my head. clever winnie guessed the correct answer immediately. XD
-last night, thomas gave an introduction to john. turns out everyone bar winnie and i have read that book before.
-we also split into groups several times and answered questions together. during one, winnie told me that she does accounting work, and has bipolar!
-vicky walked behind me once to the loo and back around 9:25pm. i managed fine by myself, also letting era open the tap lotsa times.
-'TWAS VICKY AND CATHY WHO DROVE ME HOME, ACTUALLY. ORIGINALLY, DAD HAD ASKED UNCLE KELVIN PLEASE TO, BUT SINCE HE WAS DRIVING WINNIE ALL THE WAY BACK INTO THE CITY, HE ASKED VICKY TO DRIVE ME HOME INSTEAD.
-woah, sorry, shrieking! ><
-surprise! PIG mum wasn't asleep yet! prolly coz she'd already asked her workmate to cover for her today.
-so repeat the usual nightly process, then zzz.
-today: I USED THE POT :p ONCE AROUND 5:50AM, THEN SPENT THE TEN MINUTES TILL 6AM HAVING a mostly silent 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. and apologies for the previous shrieking. XD
-tess came about ten minutes early today. she just cleaned up around the house, and @ 10:40, came inside and told me, "your mum says to let you sleep, if that's what you need." but nope, i didn't! my sore throat had gone and darling bear bear had rubbed my headache away. :)
-so i got up, had one tinkle in the pot. :P tess got me kitted, then we walked arm-in-arm together out to the bathroom to brush my teeth.
-then, over the loo, i asked tess please for a mug of water, my first to hold 'incorrectly', then i did a stinky unspeakable.
-outside @ the gobbling :P table, tess fed me some bun and egg for breakfast. hmm, we're outta ham and cheese. i thought dad'd buy some this morning, but the poor man's got a fever. ><
-tess massaged ela for about forty-five minutes, while i played with her iphone.
-around midday, tess took me to the loo for a tinkle, then cooked me egg fried rice while i rang aunty nga. aunty lai wasn't home, presumably also @ aunty nga's. we chatted for only about five minutes, coz aunty nga said that she was expecting a visitor.
-before she left, i downed my fried rice, drank my yummy lemon iced tea and went once more to the loo.
-i also went twice more when nature called without falling. :) didn't wanna disturb PIG mum, see.
-well, selina should be coming to shower me in about forty minutes. news/naruto time!
-hopefully i can bbl tonight, else it's just church toms, nothing special.
cheers,
em. ^^

friday post 77

good afternoon! yay, pedro has returned! meaning that today, i've been hard @ work plodding 2282 steps today and secondly, the spam count for the week's nine. which reminds me, i've gotta re-sign up for TWFT newsletters. the topic's 'your golden years (1), BTW. anyways, continuing today's events?
-aunty winnie even fed mel and i some apples and grapes!
-she also helped me twice to the loo before she drove us off to nandos for lunch! before that, i rang CODA and found out that selina was coming to shower me toms.
-both mel and i can't take spicy food; we just split one whole chicken between us, and had corn!
-afterwards, aunty winnie drove me home.
-after doing a stinky unspeakable, dad kicked me to bed.
-but i was still tired and needed the sleep, so after using the pot :P once, i snored all the way until aunty lucia arrived!
-even better, she lemme shower in my shower chair with wheels!!!! :D meaning i washed erf, erl, ell and elf lotsa times each!
-afterwards, i plopped online. aunty lucia cleaned the bathroom, took me once more to the loo, then left.
-i've just got this really annoying headache that i can't shake off. >< the sore throat has more or less buggered off, fortunately.
-hopefully tonight, dad'll take me to SHINE fellowship.
-then tessa's coming @ 10am toms. doubt PIG mum can work, though ...
-anyways, hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^

Back...

Well, hello. I'm back in Brisbane now. But please allow me to tell you about my last night and morning in hong kong:
-dinner was some pasta, some pizza and some rice. Afterwards, I had a chat to kin ying's girlfriend, who's studying nursing!
-all too soon, 'twas time to leave. Hugs all around, then Ching ying's wheeled me to the bus, which we caught back to aunts lai's place.
-I also fulfilled one of my wishes, by hiking upstairs and sitting at the very front of the bus!XD
-back @ aunty lai's flat, PIG mum showered me, then I tried to climb into the top bunk, but that failed. :(
-also, last night, PIG mum thought she was DYING!!!><
-meaning yesterday morning, she wouldn't shower me. I'd really hoped she would, seeing that 'twas prolly my last time in hong kong forever, but she said she was feeling too crook.
-we said our farewells to aunty lai, then took a taxi to the airport. Fourth aunty came to send us off! I also spoke to first and second aunties on the phone.
-some really nice male flight attendant led me to my seat, after I received this really gentle rub down search.
-I watched the tin tin movie, some boxing movie that dad recommended, some movie about cancer called Seth like 50/20 and the first episode of house season six!!
-I had the pork for lunch coz they were outta chicken, and the pork again for dinner.
-we touched down around midnight, and bumped into both Jacinta and uncle Tyrone!
-uncle Calvin came to pick us up, and when I asked him would he please pull over somewhere so PIG mum could pick me up some milk, he said uncle Colbert had already brought and left some in our fridge for me!!
-and. 'twas full cream milk !!
-anyways, I bed, bear bear slept over eft, thus learning about my adventures through osmosis.
-I slept soundly, nature calling @ 5:50am, then again around 10am.
-but dad suddenly came and said he was taking me to aunty Winnie's, co he had to take PIG mum to see the doctor!
-aunty Winnie fed me breakfast! Yummy turkey, cheese and salad toasted sandwich! Plus one small bowl of cornflakes, and some apples and grapes!! Then I popped online with their iPad!!
-aunty Winnie's talking to dad now about lunch and beyond. Me, I'm hoping dad'll take me to SHINE fellowship tonight!
-laters!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

monday post 25c

-sorry, i'm sad now. :( i ranf hilary jie jie and tried to organise a time with her for our japanese dinner, but that proved unsuccessful, due mostly to PIG mum saying VERY LOUDLY, "WE'RE NOT FREE THAT DAY!! WE NEED TO VISIT FAMILY (or some other excuse ><) but hilary jie jie said that she and win jie jie were planning to come visit in 2013, coz win jie jie has an international driver's licence and she needs to renew it! hopefully they'll take me somewhere nice without the parents interfering!

-we caught the MTR for absolutely ages! getting off @ sheung wan, i was slightly grumpy @ having to hike forty-odd steps.
-but we finally had lunch with aunty sally, @ maccas, @ 32:40PM!!!! I had some kinda yummy burger called fat and juicy!! sorry, no, big and tasty. XD (correction courtesy of PIG mum XD) i also drank an orange juice and chomped about fifteen chippes. :)
-afterwards aunty sally kindly took PIG mum shopping, while i played with sem (my sony ericcson mobile) and dad read the paper.
-afterwards, dad decided he'd take me to visit the apple store! i wasn't very happy, coz i had to hike way too many steps, and dad never found the shop in the end!!! ><
-instead, we just hugged aunty sally goodbye and returned to aunty lai's place, dad stopping to grab us some dinner and PIG mum some photos dad had ordered.
-back home, PIG mum showered me, then i sat patiently waiting for dinner while watching hong kong's version of today tonight.

-when she came back, i got up and did a stinky unspeakable before brushing my teeth.
-breakfast was one scrumptious sausage and cheese bun, plusone yummy mug of horlicks, which i drank 'incorrectly', coz aunty sally rang us! lol, and just this morning, i'd asked PIG mum, "don't you think we should ring aunty sally and say bye before we leave?" XD
-aunty nga also rang to talk about our massage chair.
-after she finished yakking on the phone, PIG mum took me once more to the loo. she's watching television now, while aunty lai's washing sth.
-me, i'm just waiting for dad to get home and take us out somewhere! it doesn't matter how much he'll force me to walk, i'll do it, coz this could very well be my last trip ever to hong kong!!!! ><

hong kong post24

good evening! for my possible last ever weekend in hong kong, i had a great day. :)
-this morning, PIG mum showered me first, then i had a yummy sausage and pork floss bun for breakfast with one mug of yummy warm horlicks.
-i wanted to plop online after breakfast, before we had to attend church, but PIG mum refused, so i just read nick's book until 'twas time to leave.
-at church, the speaker gave some sermon about the parable of the leper that was healed after he washed in some river six/seven times.
-after church, PIG mum took me to the bathroom once, then 'twas off to yum cha with the family.
-who was there: first aunty, uncle dickdick (he kindly held era when i walked in, meaning erf successfully passed elf every step she took; when i asked him wouldn't teresa bash him for hoding another female's hand, he laughed and said, "but i never get to hold any female's hand!" i gleefully related all this to cousin teresa @ the yum cha place, she laughed her head off. XD), cousin teresa, franco, rolls, carrie, ashley (who gives lotsa face to dad, coz she lets him carry her around, but she gets placed into my lap, she bursts into tears and wails her head off. XD).
-lol, i told first aunty how dad's got her down in his mobile as 'big sister'; karry laughed and said that in her phone, first aunty was 'aunty big'! XD
-first aunty gave me one chicken wing; dad also gave me some cheung fun (say that in canto), half a charsiu bun, some vegies, then first aunty gave me almost (but not quite) one bowl of hokkien fried rice. i just feel priviledged coz she lemme choose what fried rice. XD
-when we left, rolls took us back to his place. the parents vanished shopping somewhere.
-first aunty kindly helped me into the chau's residence; i crashed onto the couch and watched the ice polo until royce said he had house and did i wanna see it? well, of course i did!
-oh, and the spam count for the ENTIRE week's ... lol, i forgot! XD
-rolls had the latest season of house! was he in jail coz he smashed his car into cuddy's house?
-when the parents finally came home from shopping, i immediately used the toilet! i was BUSTING! (but just didn't wanna ask cousin karry to please help me go. XD)
-i happily watched house; rolls has the latest season! the only sadness was that i didn't see chase. XD
-before we left, PIG mum took me to the loo once more. i asked first aunty would i see her again before we left, because if she said i wouldn't, i'd stand up and hug her good-bye, but coz she promised we'd see each other @ least once more, i didn't.
-karry accompanied us all the way down to the MTR station, which we caught all the way back into chai wan.
-tonight, we had dinner to celebrate aunty nga's birthday! the restaurant was called ... sth raamen?
-anyways, i ordered some kinda fried chicken with a cold milk tea, then added five bucks to change the raamen into udon. i also drank a cold milk tea. the parents went for sth more exy, some stone pot thing.
-after dinner, i stopped @ maccas and FINALLY got my ice-cream, FOUR DAYS LATE!!XD too bad the parents had to take so much away for themselves. :(
-and before we returned to aunty lai's flat, dad bought me a BEAUTIFUL pair of BRIGHT BLUE sneakers!!! :D colourblind PIG mum exclaimed, upon seeing them, "that's the MOST DISGUSTING pair of shoes i've ever seen!!!" lol, rainbow now has someone to share her pain with. XD
-PIG mum took me once more to the loo before dad and i rolled me home.
-phew, good timing. horrid PIG mum's only allowing me forty-five minutes online tonight. :(
-toms: *sigh* dad says just rest. but i've already wasted one day in hong kong; i don't wanna waste another!!!! >< well, fingers crossed that sth cool'll come up. righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^

hong kong post23

good evening! wow, have i had a great day today!
-it unfortunately started with a long walk from aunty lai's apartment down to the ground level, then an even longer walk from across the road all the way to the MTR station.
-more walking awaited @ north point. but PIG mum bought those little egg things/chinese waffles, and she lemme eat FIFTEEN!!! :D
-then, we met up with fourth aunty and cousin claudia!
-when dad was looking for PIG mum, we all just chatted. fourth aunty told me that ching ying's name was 'ho shun' and kin ying's was ... lol, i've forgotten, sorry XD but she changed them to fit with feng shui purposes.
-I HAD rice FROM kfc TODAY, AND THEIR CRISS-CUT FRIES!! sorry, shrieking!! XD fair enough, i only found one tiny sliver of chicken in the rice, that was about half the size of my pinky fingernail, but still ... XD
-i also had one original chicken drumstick, and PIG mum proudly told me that she'd bought me this pineapple drink, only 'twas FIZZY! (i'm not a fizzy drink person, see). but i drank it all anyway. but then, 'twas hilarious! everytime i burped, my nose cleared!! XD
-PIG mum took me once to the loo afterwards, then dad said he'd take me to the bookstore. only, i did most of the wheeling, and the only bookstore dad found for me was a christian one! no good books there, obviously, sadly. XD
-afterwards, we did more browsing around @ some other shopping mall.
-finally, we said our byes and we caught a bus home.
-actually, we bought one box of sweet and sour pork from freewood before returning home.
-PIG mum took me once to the loo when we got back to aunty lai's flat, then i crashed on the couch and read nick's book until the parents called dinner.
-rice tonight, with lotsa choy sum and kailan, two delicious chunks of sweet and sour pork, two/three slices of surprisingly yummy onion and the same of pineapple. dinner was washed down with one lil yummy bottle of yakult, then i plopped online.
-dad's gone out to do ... sth. XD mum's yakking away on the phone.
-as for me, i got about twenty minutes online before PIG mum gleefully forces me oiff to bed. actually, correction: dad's gone to uncle dickdick's to watch the soccer. and aunty lai's just back from work then dinner @ aunty nga'sa place. :)
-toms: just church, nothing special. we're not gonna try attend PIG mum's friend's church again, not after last week's fiasco. XD think the cousins had planned a BBQ for later, but now they're saying no, coz they're tired after disneyland yesterday? :S then, @ night, we're having dinner with aunty nga, coz it's her birthday toms!! :D
cheers,

good morning! hey, sorry that i didn't post yesterday - i was playing @ DISNEYLAND! :D
-we caught the MTR, met up with carrie and ashley and yut gu ma.
-the disney MTR line even comes with dark blue mickey head plush seats!
-when we arrived, we posed for some photos first. lol @ yut gu ma, pushing ashley's stroller beside sparkless2. "there, little car with big car." she declared. XD
-dad immediately went for the rides! while he was being swung around @ breakneck speeds, i browsed the guide and saw the lion king show was almost starting! "this i've gotta see!"
-the show was awesome! i shook hands with four performers, and yelled "bravo!" and "encore!" often!
-lunch was one yummy pork floss and ham bun. also much thanks to cousin karry who tore me off one little chunk of her pizza sausage roll!
-then we hit the rides! train rides, teacup rides, random other rides. we played that gun shooting game that we'd played two years ago; as a testament to my complete lack of aiming and gun-firing skills, even PIG mum got a higher score than i did! XD
-i was sad, though, when it came to the photo buying: i'd originally wanted two, one with me standing with mickey, and the other with me kissing his nose, but the parents only allowed me one. :( i'd tried to explain to PIG mum that i really wanted both, coz i might never have the chance to come back again, but she was mean and refused. :(
-but i got front row seats for the fireworks display!! :D originally, we were seated further back, but when i saw a gap in the crowds, i squeezed past; PIG mum followed me, complaining how i'd denied her of her comfy seat, but, in the end, she had a front row seat also, nobody in front of her, so i dunno what she was griping about. XD
-time to leave after the spectacular fireworks, i asked dad to please turn me around twice: the first so i could wave good-bye to disneyland, the second so i could stand up, hug a pole and wave and blow kisses to properly farewell disneyland.
-this time, when we caught the MTR back to chai wan, i sat on the comfy blue plush sofas. photos are on dad's mobile.
-back @ chai wan, dinner for me was a quarter pounder, exactly ten chips and some water. dad had a filet-o-fish, while PIG mum had the same as me, after she complained her head off that dad had gotten her a sausage and egg mcmuffin. XD
-back home, immediate bed. zzz.
-this morning: i got up, brushed my teeth and went to the loo.
-breakfast was aome minced pork bun! interesting but yummy. :) i drank one mug of horlicks and also popped my drugs. :P
-then i read nick's book until the parents lemme online.
-at 11:55, though, i haveta get off, coz that'll be one hour. think dad's gonna take me to eat those little egg things/chinese waffles @ north point that janice recommended! so no griping about those fifteen steps. :(
-dunno what's happening in the arvo or evening, though. but righteo, cya when i cya!
cheers,
em. ^^

hong kong post 21

good afternoon! it's been another action-packed day! but let's continue with last night's events first!
-the funeral never eventuated. just lotsa 'gook gooning' (say that in canto). mother took me to the loo twice; i also munched two yummy lil cakes from some bakery and wheeled myself over to where cousin stephen's wife and daughter were throwing gold-coloured paper cut in money note rectangles into the fire. there's some superstition that burning money enables those who have passed on some money to spend in the next life. i don't believe in that, but asked for two pieces of paper and chucked it into the fire for grandma. hey, i'm not superstitious, but i suppose i can pretend they were both five hundred dollar bills, old old grandma can use five hundred for herself and use the other five hundred to take my most beloved grandmother out for dinner or sth. :)
-lotsa standing and bowing, then we all left! i only inclined my head slightly, whereas PIG mum just stayed stock-still. i'm not sure why; i mean, it's not ancestor worship, nor is it bowing to buddha, 'twas just a sign of respect for the deceased. meaning i thought PIG mum was rather disrespectful, but hey.
-when we left, we caught a bus back to chai wan shopping centre, then i had a sausage and egg mcmuffin @ 10:30PM @ NIGHT!!!! XD
-back home, immediate bedtime. zzz.
-today: dad overslept, meaning there was no time for breakfast. that's okay, coz i was also spared the long hard walk to the bus!!
-at the funeral place, more bowing and stuff. then we caught a bus to another funeral place for even more bowing and stuff. we all brought flowers, someone carried them away, then some random banged away on his symbol and chanted sth.
-then, 'twas all over, and we caught a bus for yum cha. cousin stephen chu sat beside me and explained that was to wipe away all the sadness the funeral brought. his daughter's birthday's in december, he works on home entertainment systems and apparently, in hong kong, you don't get to choose which high school you want to attend? like, you just get placed into one!
-there were about three steps to conquer @ the restaurant. PIG mum took me once to the loo when we arrived, then we sat @ some table with grandma's sister and her sons. i only knew one, the one i call 'hairy uncle', and i met another one, whom, after i complained hong kong was too complicated with different names for either side (mum's and dad's) and whether older/younger, laughed and dubbed himself 'handsome uncle'. XD
-i ate little bits of everything. 'twas dinner food, not yum cha! idiot me also knocked and spilt one lil cup of tea everywhere. ><
-before we left, i took a photo with hairy uncle and aunty. XD
-one bus ride home, one loo trip, then i plopped online.
-both parents are in pigland now. poor dad's got a cold/sth similar, whereas PIG mum's just a natural PIG. XD and aunty lai's @ work, BTW.
-toms ... i think we're going to disneyland!!!! :D uncle dickdick's being snooty and already begged out due to work, though. XD and i'm still waiting for my ice-cream!! PIG mum promised toms (meaning, today) but she's obviously zero condition to keep her promise, what with her snoring in bed! XD personally, i'm just feeling very sad that this marks my final week in hong kong, possibly forever ... :( but i'm intending to make it the BEST it can be for me! righteo, maybe cya tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^

heylo again! right now, i'm @ the funeral house for old old grandma's funeral; dunno why it hasn't started yet.
-anyways, after my last ppost, i just read some of my old fanfiction until the parents said t'was time to leave.
-i'm just UBER-grumpy, coz for the SECOND time, the stupid lift wasn't working! meaning the parents gleefully FORCED :( me to walk all the way back, catch the lift down, then all the way to the lift before i could plop my weary butt back down into sparkless.
-we caught a bus to the funeral home; dad said i'd have lunch when we got there.
-lunch was two meatballs and a 100mL popper of malt vita soy milk.
-then ching ying opened chrome and lemme plop online. i asked him what 'gook gong' (say that in canto), he responded with some sorta bowing action.
-hey, it's nearly 6pm, will the funeral happen tonight or not? i'm hoping for dinner, you know!
-again, dunno when i'll be back, so cya when i cya!
cheers,
em. ^^

hong kong post 20

good afternoon! sorry, i'm really grumpy today; you'll find out why if you keep reading:
-last night, the parents gleefully FORCED :( me to walk all the way to tai hing. i crashed on a comfy sofa seat, but trust horrid PIG mum to demand we move to a round table so that she could sit to my left. :( poor ela. ><
-we ordered four dinner sets between five people; nurse choi wanted to order more, but the parents refused. i sadly explained to nurse choi that it's coz they always want to feed me as little as possible. :(
-but PIG mum was really funny, lol! @ first, she was all snooty and said she didn't wanna talk, but when i leaned over and apologised to nurse choi that PIG mum didn't wanna talk tonight but that she could yak with dad, aunty lai and me, PIG mum suddenly found her tongue and DOMINATED the entire night's worth of conversations! XD me, i'm just thankful that nurse choi was so nice and talked with PIG mum after she'd been so snooty @ first. :)
-last night, i got about 0.75 bowls of rice. i'll haveta check, but i don't think i've had one full bowl, let alone my usual preferred 1.5 bowls, for the ENTIRE TRIP thus far! >< but i also had some yummy meat brisket, some fish, lotsa yummy kailan and two or three thin slices of BBQ pork. oh, and two bowls of soup.
-time to leave, again, the parents were AWFUL, coz they gleefully FORCED :( me to walk all the way back up to aunty lai's flat the moment after we crossed the road. even worse, dad chucked some ridiculous cow @ me, saying (1) i couldn't see hilary and the other jie jies for a japanese dinner and (2) i couldn't play @ disneyland with my cousins!! >< meaning i very grumpily sang of my COMPLETE AND UTTER TOTAL HATRED of the lord unfaithful god to sleep.
-today: PIG mum took me once to the loo around 2am last night, and she poked me awake to go around 8am, when she and dad ditched me to have a breakfast yum cha with one of her former school friends.
-dad came back first and took me once to the loo, saying PIG mum had gone shopping. THUS I HAPPILY KEPT SNORING UNTIL pig MUM RETURNED HOME. sorry, shrieking! ><
-anyways, when she returned homew, i brushed my teeth, PIG mum showered me then i had this fancy looking sausage bun and one mug of yummy horlicks for breakfast before plopping online.
-we're off to old old grandma's funeral later today. wow, i really slept today away, it's almost 2:15pm! XD
-dunno what's happening tonight or toms, but hope everyone's having a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^
