sunday post 99

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 1304 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'the ultimate therapy and protection'; thirdly, the spam count for the weekend's three and lastly, i'm still owed FIFTY-FIVE MINUTES online if i get any visitors in the arvo!!!! righteo, events for today?
~i used the pot :P three times last night and once more @ 8:50am, when dad left for church. then i cuddled bear bear and successfully fell back asleep with him until PIG mum came and poked me with "fifteen more minutes."
-when she came back, i swung myself around to the pot :P for two more tinkles, before i felt like doing a stinky unspeakable and returned to bed. PIG mum got me kitted then gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the bathroom to brush my teeth, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-breakfast was one slice of toast with the merest dab of butter and yummy strawberry jam ever, and one mug of yummy horlicks, which i drank 'incorrectly' when PIG mum was upstairs changing. i also popped all my usual drugs :P and drained the mug of water coz i wanted to do a stinky unspeakable after breakfast.
-of course, when i went to the bathroom to do it, PIG mum of course gleefully forced me to dak myself. but i also leaned against the side rail and had a mostly silent chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with all the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i needed to get through today with, giving all the pleasure, all the satisfaction for my PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied. 
-after that, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to wash and dry both hands, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the 4WD. of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and she also demanded silence for the drive to church, so i just closed my eyes and finished my mostly silent chat to percy the angel/saint.
-at church, PIG mum took me once to the loo, then left me for the mandarin congregation!
-today, i sat beside aunty jo, who lemme stay seated for worship. :) today, i sang the harmony for two songs.
-speaker today was pastor chris, and while he didn't give a sermon topic, he spoke from mark chapter nine about faith.
-after service, PIG mum took me to the loo once then tootled us home for lunch, despite my plea 2b allowed to eat a teriyaki chicken rice for lunch @ plaza. :(
-luckily, i got rice for lunch! :) 'twas awfully bland though, just vegies, tofu, one squid ball and one small chunk of chicken, but hey, rice was rice. :) lunch was spooned down with one bowl of clear vegie soup, then i slowly and safely walked over to the computer table.

-however, i forgot to open the light fi - hey, doorbell, fingers crossed i can bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing week!

cheers,

em. ^^

saturday post 98

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 740 steps today and secondly, TWFT topic's 'courage (3)'. righteo, events for today?
~i used the pot :P once last night and once more this morning when PIG mum left for work, before cuddling bear bear back to sleep and snoring with him until tess arrived promptly @ 10am.
-the funny thing was, dad couldn't hear the doorbell! i banged against the wall and shouted, "dad, tessa's here!" only, dad didn't hear me, but tessa did! "hi em," she shouted, "is your dad outside?"
'dunno," i shouted back. "think he'sa upstairs!" actually, tess was correct; when dad came back inside, i yelled, "dad, tessa's been here for ages!" i heard his slippers flapping down the hallway, then dad said, "sorry, i'm coming!" XD
-anyways, tess lemme doze until 10:30am, when nature called and i went over to the pot :P for one more tinkle, before deciding i felt like doing a stinky unspeakable and returning to bed.
-tess got me kitted, then i walked over to the bathroom with her, where i brushed my teeth. thanks to tess who squirted me some toothpaste, and i also drank one mug of water 'incorrectly' before going and doing a stinky unspeakable. i also leaned against the side rail and had a mostly silent chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with all the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i needed to get through today with, giving all the pleasure, all the satisfaction for my PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied. 
-after that, i went over to wash and dry era, before tess and i walked out together to the gobbling :P table.
-like i've said before, i get the most breakfast on saturdays! :D today, tess fed me some of dad's ham and eggs with one slice of cheese with toast, 2.5 plain crackers with some strawberry jam and two little bread rolls with pork mince and potato that rodel had made! oh, i also drank one mug of tea, white and two, 'incorrectly'.
-tess started massaging ela while i was still eating, starting @ around 11:20am.
-at midday, tess took me once to the loo when suddenly, the phone rang! 'twas aunty nga, i chatted with both him and little mickey pig, who seemed more interested in ringing aunty lai then talking to me, really. XD
-back @ the gobbling :P table, my warm milo was the third mug for the day i could drink 'incorrectly', then i rang aunty lai and we chatted for like fifteen minutes. 
-dad also rang and told me to tell PIG mum to ring him when she arrived home from work, and also that he might not arrive home before 1pm and let tessa go home first.
-at 12:50, tess took me once more to the loo for one tinkle before leaving, just as PIG mum returned home!
-lunch was maybe half a bowl of fried rice plus lotsa yummy green beans and one mug of yummy rice green tea, sweetened with hopefully one teaspoonful of honey, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-one more loo trip for me after lunch. of course, PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything myself.
-but now, i've got a full hour of reading to myself before soo comes to shower me, yay!
-toms: just church, nothing special. actually, bible study's on sem break for another two weeks still, meaning i won't haveta attend service until like 11am! then, fingers crossed i can hit plaza for some lunch afterwards, that i'll get some visitors in the arvo who'll take me out for arvo tea and that PIG mum won't insist i shower toms night! righteo, hope to see everyone @ church toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

-at 9:15pm, i took myself once more slowly and safely to the loo.
-PIG mum's headed upstairs for a shower, she'll be back and gleefully forcing me off to bed very soon, i'm certain.
-toms: sleep-in! :D tess comes @ 10am, hopefully she'll feed me lots and lemme surf the net on her iphone~ then it's soo coming to shower me in the arvo! must remember to tell her about that new kofoo korean place that's finally opened @ garbo! righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend!

good evening! em's new plodding total for friday now stands @ 3888. lol, that's a lucky asian number! XD righteo, continuing today's events?
-yup, i happily got my naruto fix before moving onto reading fanfiction.
-unfortunately, PIG mum spoiled the fun by coming down from pigland, immediately and gleefully forcing poor em offline, then gleefully forcing poor me on absolutely ages of arm exercises and posture exercises, culminating in fifteen minutes of the less (but STILL!><) painful calf stretch.
-then, just as the broncos started playing cronulla, PIG mum ordered me to use the massage chair, using the rather ouchy 'stretching' program for twenty minutes, while she used the treadmill for @ least eight minutes and used the vibrator.
-while i was getting the massage from the chair, i watched as smelly cronulla knocked up three tries against the poor broncos. >< it took them thirty minutes before they finally managed the scoreline!
-a rather pale dinner tonight: rice, lotsa bok choy, some tofu, two delicious chunks of BBQ chicken and one not-as-yummy chunk of soup chicken. dinner was spooned down with one bowl of vegetable soup, then i took myself slowly and safely back online.
-i need one more loo trip now, then will come back with my final, final plodding total for today and events for toms.
cheers,
em. ^^

-aunty lucia arrived @ 4:05pm, had a short yak with PIG mum, then 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 shut.
-i had one tinkle before aunty lucia flipped the nice hot water off, she dried me, i got creamed and had another tinkle. aunty lucia rekitted me, and i had one last tinkle when she was doing elf's shoelaces.
-after promising to rinse under the showerchair for me, aunty lucia Forced me to walk out to the gobbling :P table, where i enjoyed my yummy chocolate harsiubing/hot cake for arvo tea. i'd asked PIG mum please for some milk, but she's read somewhere that chocolate doesn't go well with milk! instead, she made me one mug of yummy mint green tea, which i took as my cup for today to hold 'incorrectly'.
~after i finished, aunty lucia took me once more to the loo before i signed her off, said my thanks and byes. lol, i signed her off @ 5:05pm, exactly one hour after she'd arrived, but PIG mum kept her yakking until 5:25pm before letting her leave! XD
-as for me, i'm off to finish getting my naruto fix. fingers crossed i can bbl, else i've already said what's happening in the previous post, and hope everyone has a smashing weekend!

friday post 95

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 3191 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'courage (2)' and thirdly, the spam count for the week's wenty. righteo, events for today?
~i used the pot :P twice last night and once more when dearest dad left for work. then, cuddling bear bear successfully back to sleep, i woke to use the pot :P one more time before PIG mum came and poked me with "fifteen more minutes."
--when she came back, i used the pot :P once more for two tinkles, just swinging myself back into bed when i realised i felt like doing a stinky unspeakable. PIG mum got me kitted, then she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast.
-yum yum, i had the sliced banana with some maple syrup on one slice of toast again, with one mug of yummy warm horlicks, which i got to hold 'incorrectly' when PIG mum was upstairs changing. PIG mum also popped me all the usual drugs :P before i drained the entire mug of water, cup still held 'incorrectly'.
-after that, i went and did a stinky unspeakable. of course, horrid PIG mum gleefully forced me to dak myself, but hey, that's expected.
-when that was finished, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to wash and dry both hands, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the 4WD.
-of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and she decided to listen to some christian CD her cousin had given her when we were in hong kong @ the beginning of this year. as for me, once PIG mum left the driveway, i closed both eyes and had a mostly silent chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with all the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i needed to get through today with, giving all the pleasure, all the satisfaction for my PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied. 
-opening my eyes somewhere along coronation drive, era helped ela stretch for five minutes before ela opened and closed her palm @ least fifty times, holding each for a count of five.
-entering the building, we bumped into jason and jess, who were moving crates! "i'll be up for you soon, okay?" jason told me, as PIG mum and i entered the elevator.
-PIG mum took me once to the loo upstairs, then she went back downstairs to pay margit while i sat in the waiting area.
-jason was soon up, i pushed the back of era's hand against his hip and walked well into the gym.
-physio today: mat work (argh, after the tilt table i hate mat work the most next), several sit-to-stands, some work for ela and four laps of walking to finish up. personally, i was MORTIFIED when i was kneeling, lost balance, and planted face-first into jason's shoulder! "sorry, sorry!" i sputtered, kneeling back upright, but jason just laughed. "don't worry about it," he reassured, "that's what i'm here for, remember?" XD
-after physio, PIG mum took me once to the loo then tootled me off to plaza to see naz for some fish and chips! unfortunately, she refused to check downstairs for any disabled car park spot first, but thankfully, there was one upstairs.
-well, PIG mum wouldn't lemme buy anything from breadtop for arvo tea, but she did lemme get one yummy lil chocolate hotcake! after that, i sat @ foodcourt and rang dearest dad before playing bejeweled @ least three times with my mobile.
-96.5FM had put up some stall just outside sultan's kebabs, and "who let the dogs out" was blaring on repeat! poor naz told PIG mum sth like, "my head's full" (of that noise, i'd presume XD)
-PIG mum bought me a carrot and apple juice (not even apple and orange, and i didn't even dream of asking for tea! ><), stole three of my chippies and removed most of the crumb for the fish! >< argh, if there's anyone who knows how to take the fun outta life, it's her. ><
-after lunch, she tootled us home. gleefully forcing me to both turn off the alarm and unlock the door (using the 'correct' fingers to hold the key) she then gleefully forced me to dak myself when i went once more to the loo.
-then, i had to turn on the light switch, walk over without supervision and sit down to turn on the computer switches, then stand up to turn on the computer itself before sitting back down. only, absurd PIG mum found some error with which how i did that, gleefully forced me to stand back up, gleefully FORCED :( me to walk around the chair and move it to her acceptance, before finally letting me sit back down again! you know, i think that's a perfect example of me showing how i rise above god's hatred everyday; see, i did all that without falling over, and PIG mum finally left me online in peace.
-actually, not quite: remembering annette had told me she's not working this saturday, i opened the latest CODA roster to see who would be, only to find out that the latest roster only went to thursday! i asked PIG mum to please pass me the phone so i could ring CODA; trust her 2b spiteful and gleefully FORCE :( me to walk over and get the phone myself.
-ringing CODA, ah may (sp?) answered, telling me that poor alice is sick! >< she said that she's looking for a carer for me toms and will get back to me when she finds someone, but she hasn't yet. >< well, if she still hasn't rung after i get my naruto fix, i'll try ring her again.
-aunty lucia's coming to shower me around 4pm, but there's no SHINE fellowship tonight, so expect a truly pissy plodding total toms, coz i'm not going anywhere! but tessa's coming to mind me from 10am till 1pm; hope she feeds me lotsa breakfast and lets me surf the net with her iphone!
-righteo, fingers crossed i can bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^

-when annette arrived about one minute late, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to open the door for her. from there, i headed straight into the bathroom for my nice hot shower - i washed my hair today, but thanks to annette who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
-i had one tinkle before i flipped the nice hot water off, mostly dried myself, mostly creamed myself and had another tinkle. i mostly rekitted myself and had one final tinkle when annette was doing elf's AFO straps.
-annette Forced me to walk out to the kitchen to make my arvo toastie. sadly, she only allowed one slice of cheese, which was ENTIRELY too thin, but she explained she couldn't gimme two slices coz PIG mum had told her that we were going out for dinner tonight. i also drank one mug of tea, sweetened with one teaspoonful of honey, 'incorrectly'.
-annette started massaging ela, and if she'd been allowed to contonue right till 5:55pm like with carol, ela would've had a twenty-five minute massage! but no, horrid PIG mum had to interrupt ten minutes after she started, send annette to wash the dishes, then gleefully force poor ela on 25+ mins of exercises. :(
~but finally, 'twas time to leave for garbo! i sat in the back with PIG mum while dad drove. much thanks to PIG mum who helped me with my seatbelt tonight; the cruee with crappy night vision. ><
-and there was even a disabled parking spot waiting downstairs for us. :)
-we all held hands and i walked up well to the library, where PIG mum couldn't find me any otori books by lian hearn but instead grabbed feist's 'a crown imperilled', which i happily read while she and dad went downstairs to look @ sth like saucepans.
-when they came back, we all went to foodcourt for dinner! after PIG mum took me once to the loo, i tried the new korean place with her. it's called 'kofoo' and 'twas quite yummy! dad got mexican food, and kindly bought a green tea mango mantra from boost juice for us to share.
-after dinner, 'twas more walking. *sigh* this time, 'twas to woolies and unfortunately, i wasn't allowed to sit this time, instead being gleefully FORCED :( to walk all around the bloody store to pick up things. *sigh*
-almost forgot! just leaving foodcourt, we bumped into jess cheung and her new hubby, vincent/wilson! i shook hands with him and we all had a brief chat~
-finally, dad tootled us home, and i took myself once to the loo before slowly and safely returning online.
-toms: UQ physio @ 10:45 with jason (lol, i finally remembered his name. XD but i do hope that jess has forgotten the crazy 100 sit-to-stand thing!
-also fingers crossed that i can see naz for some fish and chips after physio! lol, kebabs and fish 'n' chips don't really mix, but hey. XD
-aunty lucia's coming to shower me around 4pm, but there isn't any SHINE fellowship toms night, coz there's some kinda ... music concert happening happening? hopefully, i'll get the time to get my naruto fix~ anyways, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!

PIG mum did gleefully force poor ela to hold onto the toast while era had to rip the toast into @ least ten pieces, but era kept her promise to ela by combining with the spoon to tear the toast into bite-sized, more manageable pieces.
-after drinking the mug of water 'incorrectly', i went and did a stinky unspeakable. of course, horrid PIG mum gleefully forced me to dak myself, but i also leaned briefly against the side rail and had a mostly silent chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with all the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i needed to get through today with, giving all the pleasure, all the satisfaction for my PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied. 
-afterwards, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to wash and dry both hands, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the 4WD. of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day; PIG mum also decided we'd listen to some christian CD that her cousin had given her from hong kong.
-when PIG mum tootled me off to vincent the bloody physio's for a torture session, era helped ela stretch for ten minutes, then ela opened and closed her palm fifty times, holding each for a count of five.
-physio today: exercises for ela, plus four minutes of forced standing. vincent let ela grab a lolly, and he says baby kaylas about seven oranges big now!
-hey, carol should be here soon, so fingers crossed i can bbl, else i've just got a late morning pincushion practice session toms. fingers crossed PIG mum'll take me for lunch @ pizza capers afterwards! and annette's coming to shower me toms arvo.
cheers,

tuesday post 94

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 2552 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'the truth about the truth (1)' and thirdly, i'm still owed THIRTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after i get home from toastmasters!!! righteo, events for today?
-i used the pot :P once last night around 1:30am and once more this morning when dearest dad left for work. then i cuddled bear bear and fell back asleep with him, waking to use the pot :P once more just before 10am.
-after PIG mum came and poked me with "fifteen more minutes," i swung myself over to the pot :P once more for two tinkles, just swinging myself back into bed when i realised i felt like doing a stinky unspeakable. PIG mum got me kitted, then she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the bathroom to brush my teeth, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk outside to the gobbling :P table for breakfast.
-breakfast was the same as yesterday's: yummy sliced banana with a lil maple syrup on toast. :) i also drank one yummy warm mug of horlicks 'incorrectly' before going to do my stinky unspeakable. of course, PIG mum gleefully forced me to dak myself.
-afterwards, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to wash and dry both hands, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the 4WD. of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day; we also listened to kelly clarkson's 'stronger' all day, too.
-PIG mum tootled me off to UQ for physio. as usual, until she entered coronation drive, i kept both eyes closed and had a mostly silent chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with all the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i needed to get through today with, giving all the pleasure, all the satisfaction for my PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied. then, until PIG mum reached UQ, era helped ela stretch for five minutes, before ela opened and closed her palm 100 times, holding each for a count of five.
-at UQ, PIG mum took me once to the loo first before kindly leaving me with the australian cyclist magazine and going to pay margit.
-jason came for me with a walkbelt, era gently held his hand and i walked well into the gym.
-physio today: passive calf stretch, work for ela, roughly eight sit-to-stands and six laps along the parallel bars. oh, and some mat work.
-PIG mum took me once more to the loo before she tootled us off to the sunnybank medical centre, where her workmate had rung her this morning for sth.
-i was happy to sit in the 4WD and wait for her, but no, PIG mum instead gleefully FORCED :( me to go with her into the clinic!
-i sat down @ the first seat i saw, then PIG mum introduced me to someone's daughter, the receptionist. "sorry?" i asked again. "were you J-A-Y, jay or J-A-D-E, jade?" the lady laughed. "i'm jade," she said.we chatted briefly, before PIG mum stormed out and said i was noisy.
-so i asked her please to gimme a gossip mag to read; what she gave me was the coles christmas catalogue from christmas last year! XD but i browsed that until PIG mum came back, gleefully FORCED :( me to walk back down to the 4WD then tootled me off to sushi train for lunch!
-we both had our usuals, the kaarage udon for me and the kakiage udon for her. best of all, PIG mum lemme buy some chicken sushi home for arvo tea with annette.
-unfortunately, that then gave her the power to gleefully force poor ela on stupid exercises for 35+ mins before i was finally allowed online!
-well, annette will hopefully come in ten minutes time, and she's taking me to toastmasters tonight! i'm the warm-up master!
-well, hopefully bbl tonight, else i've just got another bloody torture session with vincent the bloody physio toms, before aunty wendy comes and minds me for three hours. dunno what PIG mum's doing. after aunty wendy leaves, i haveta complete my writers' group homework, "the first time ..." before carol comes to watch me shower. best of all, it's dessert night toms night! righteo, hope to bbl tonight, else hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

monday post 99d

one final good evening! em's final, final plodding total for monday now stands @4749. righteo, final, final events for tonight?

-to top it all off, all the bloody exercises culminated in PIG mum gleefully FORCING :( me to plod twenty minutes on the bloody treadmill. >< and, for some unfathomable reason, pedro only gave me like 200 steps for what PIG mum's counted as 1100! ><

-and i went once more to the loo before eating dinner, rose above god's hatred and didn't fall.

-dinner was meant 2b the leftovers from my lunch today, but it turns out that dad ate almost all of it! >< meaning PIG mum mixed the remaining mouthful with some yucky purple/red rice and added lotsa cos lettuce to it. dinner was spooned down with one bowl of soup, then i returned online.

-at 9:15pm, when i went once more to the loo, leanne suddenly rang! PIG mum yakked with her for awhile, but just before she passed the phone to me, the line suddenly cut! when leanne rang back several minutes later, i picked up, and she immediately apologised, saying, "oh sorry, aunty ling, the line cut." i replied, "that's okay, did you just go under a bridge or something?" she answered, "no, em, i didn't! that's the strange thing!" when i asked her how did she know 'twas me and not my mum on the phone, she laughed and said that my voice was higher.

-we chatted happily for several minutes, until she hung up to buy herself dinner from subway. she's just finished BSF, see.

-toms: UQ physio aroundabouts 11am. fingers crossed PIG mum'll take me to sushi train/somewhere yummy for lunch afterwards, coz @ night, annette's taking me to toastmasters, and i'm the warmup master! righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!

monday post 99c

good evening! em's new plodding total for monday now stands @ 4623. righteo, continuing events for today?
-after i finished eating my awesome bun, i placed ela onto the table and told her, "please start massaging her when you're reading. i'll just be reading." *sigh* you know, the one thing i honestly hate about PIG mum's new awfully diabolical showering regime is that it deducts from the time i have to read after i finish my arvo tea! >< see, some days, i'd get as much as thirty minutes to read, but now, i'm lucky to get even fifteen. :(
-carol started massaging ela @ 5:25pm, but for five minutes less than usual, because she stopped @ 5:50pm to watch me struggle to put on my jacket before taking me once more to the loo for two tinkles. i also had time to lean briefly against the side rail and ask percy to please help me get through the night.
-carol's back on wednesday, and she's just having leftovers for dinner.
-i returned happily online until the phone rang. 'twas our neighbour, uncle alan, looking for dad.
-unfortunately, the phone awoke PIG mum, who tumbled downstairs almost immediately after i'd hung up-after gleefully forcing me offline, she immediately forced poor ela on lotsa exercises, then gleefully forced poor elf to endure fifteen minutes of the less (but STILL! ><) painful calf stretch.
-hey, brb!
cheers,
em. ^^

monday post 99b

heylo again! em's new plodding total for monday now stands @ 3425. lol, almost 3.5 grand; i promise i'll pass that if i can come back online after dinner. XD righteo, continuing today's events?
-carol came like six minutes early today! horrid PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over and open the door; from there, i just walked into the bathroom and got ready for my nice hot shower - i washed my hair today, but thanks to carol who helped me rinse it out, thus freeing era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. lol, actually, she was that quick with rinsing, she started before era had time to cover my eye! "owowow, carol, stop!" i yelped. "i haven't covered my eye yet, and the shampoo's going in and stinging!" ><"
~i had one tinkle before i turned the water off, mostly dried myself, had another tinkle and mostly creamed myself. i mostly rekitted myself, and had just one last tinkle when carol was tying my shoelaces for me.
-after Forcing me to walk out to the gobbling :P table for arvo tea, i spent several minutes with putting my jumper on, then i had that awesome chocolate bun i'd bought this arvo from aunty carol @ sunni bakerey! i'd wanted to take a picture of it with my mobile, coz it had a cool nose, but i didn't know where PIG mum had put it, and carol refused to head upstairs and ask PIG mum, for fear that she'd wake her. but she said that maybe PIG mum might buy me one for wednesday and i could take a picture then?
-carol also made me one cup of tea, white and two, which was my official cup for today to hold 'incorrectly'.
-argh, fingers crossed i can bbl. ><
cheers,
em. ^^

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 3112 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'keep trying' and thirdly, i'm still owed SEVENTEEN MINUTES online after carol leaves tonight!!righteo, events for today?
-surprisingly, i had a great sleep last night! when nature called, i could hear dad moving around making noise in the kitchen, so i just waited a lil while longer until he left work @ 8:20am before using the pot :P once. actually, do you think he was trying to make up to me what had been a spectacularly bad day yesterday? coz he kissed me lotsa times! eventually, i laughed and told him, "dad, bear bear's getting jealous." dad laughed in return and replied, "well, that won't do!" then he grabbed bear bear and planted and planted a big wet one on him! XD then we cuddled and happily fell back asleep again together, me waking up once more around 10am to use the pot :P again. actually, after dearest dad left for work, i spent the ten minutes till 8:30am having a mostly silent chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with all the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i needed to get through today with, giving all the pleasure, all the satisfaction for my PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied.
-after PIG mum poked me with "fifteen more minutes,", i used the pot :P once more for two tinkles before realising i felt like doing a stinky unspeakable and returning to bed.

-after gleefully FORCING :( me to walk to the sink to wash and dry both hands, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the 4WD. of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and she chose lowell lo to listen to first. meaning i've had his "ah ha!" repeatedly running in my head all bloody day! XD
-when PIG mum tootled me off to see vincent the bloody physio, era helped ela stretch for ten minutes, then she opened and closed her palm @ least fifty times, holding each for a count of five.
-physio today: two attempts before i could stay seated, then ela just did her exercises, vincent the bloody physio all the while threatening me with what would happen if ela wasn't able to complete them. but i must've met his standards today, coz afterwards, he let her grab a lolly! :D
-PIG mum amazingly agreed to take me to the calamvale BBQ and chinese restaurant for lunch, but 'twas closed randomly, again! suddenly, PIG mum figured out the reason:"oh, must be because it's sem break right now!"
-instead, she tootled me off to dong fong/sunnybank oriental for lunch! and even better, the A meal was yummy chicken and pineapple fried rice; i had that with a cold lemon honey water, while PIG mum had the 'B' meal, some kinda noodle dish, with the same drink as me, only hot.
-oh, before that, she lemme go to sunni bakery and buy myself some odd bun for arvo tea! and aunty carol was working there today; we said hi. :)

- after breakfast, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the 4WD, where she tootled us off to church. she demanded silence, so i just spent the whole trip with both eyes closed and having a mainly silent chat a mostly silent chat to percy the angel/saint, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i needed to get through today with, giving all the pleasure, all the satisfaction to PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied.
-at church, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk down to A1, took me once to the loo then left for the canto service.
-speaker today was pastor chris, and we actually had communion before, not after, his sermon!
-PIG mum came for me, took me once to the loo then i headed outside for morning tea. i got some light and tangy chips, two wafers, drank one mug of coloured water 'incorrectly' and thanked uncle phillip, who randomly wandered over and handed me two milk arrowroot biscuits. XD
-wonder why there wasn't any lil kiddies program? instead, i joined the parents for the AGM.
-afterwards, PIG mum took me once to the loo, then tootled me home. :( i'd wanted rice from cafe mi for lunch! ><

-julz went with me twice to the loo; i managed fine. and i even got about two handfuls of popcorn! :D
-'twas bellissimo who drove me home with julz. oh, and i almost forgot! julz and josh hit sea world to celebrate sem break, and they brought me back a lil plush dolphin! :D i named him jay, coz both their names start with the letter 'j'. XD
-back home, i plopped online until PIG mum awoke from pigland and demanded that i shower. ><
-i washed my hair, dried and rekitted myself. PIG mum only did my AFO straps (i think) and my shoelaces.

saturday post 97b

good evening! em's final, final plodding total for saturday now stands @ exactly 1600. cool, i'm not just over one grand, i'm even slightly over one point five grand! XD righteo, final, final events for tonight?
-annette arrived quite early (like, 3:50!) but PIGkept her for @ least the next fifteen minutes, teaching her how she wants my showers to go, *sigh*
-meaning i washed my hair today, dried, creamed and rekitted myself.
-even worse, annette only gave me one slice of cheese for my toastie. >< but @ least i got to eat the whole thing myself.
-unfortunately, after that whole new showering and arvo tea regime, annette only had time to massage ela for twenty-five minutes, not the usual thirty. ><
-then, PIG mum kicked her home before i was finished over the loo! *sigh* but she's back on tuesday, and we're going to toastmasters together~
-but dr. dr. tai had already arrived for dinner and we all headed outside~
-aunty a arrived before lee; uncle cyras came too, but said aunty melody was @ choir practice.
-for dinner tonight, i had some fish, about 1/8 of a sausage with one slice of toast and three dots of tomato sauce plus two wee chunks of yummy pineapple. dinner was washed down with one truly disgusting plastic cup of red bean dessert soup.
-back inside, i sat briefly, then asked PIG mum please to walk behind me one to the loo, and when she spitefully refused, rose above god's hatred and took myself there once safely and slowly.
-toms: just church, nothing special. only it's sem break, meaning there isn't any bible study. so the ESS will happen downstairs, then for once i'll get some morning tea, then hopefully i can join the little kiddies thing while there's some sorta EGM/AGM thing happening.
-fingers crossed we can hit plaza for lunch - and for once, this rice bucket wants to eat cafe mi! see, i want rice for lunch, after not getting any for dinner tonight/the night before XD
-i'm pretty sure dr. lee and julz are my visitors toms arvo, although i'm not too looking forward to visiting dr. lee's house unless it's downstairs ... :S
-anyways, hope to see everyone @ church toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

saturday post 97

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 946 steps today and secondly, TWFT topic's 'vitamins for spiritual health (6). righteo, let's start off with last night's events first!
-after aunty lucia left, i tootled online briefly until PIG mum decided 'twas time to gleefully force poor ela on more stupid exercises for her.
~i went once to the loo first; of course, horrid PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything.
-so followed 60+ mins of forced exercises for poor ela, culminating in fifteen minutes of the less (but STILL! ><) painful calf stretch for poor elf).
-one more loo trip before PIG mum drove me out to the SHINE fellowship BBQ! much thanks to bernard who opened the door for me when i entered.
-even better, dr. dr. tai bought me the most recent edition of the reader's digest! then she kindly got me a spoon and fork when i saw all the chopsticks being placed on the table.
-thomas asked someone to pray for us, then hotpot began!
-i couldn't actually reach either boiling pot from where i was sitting, but much thanks to dr. dr. tai who gave me all the food i ate. this one girl anna said was called 'corn jie jie XD gave me lotsa vegetables, and i taught anna how to differentiate between bok choy and little tong vegetable. last night, i ate: about two pork balls, @ least one fish slice, lotsa little tong vegetable, one little corn cobette, some thin slices of beef beef ("all the way cooked, please," i told dr. dr tai. XD) and my favourite hard-boiled egg @ the end. much thanks to uncle kelvin who peeled that for me.
-i also saw aunty anne, uncle ching and sylvia! sylvia told me that she'd just been sharing the gospel with someone, while aunty anne told me that poor vicky was away home sick. :(
-around 9:15pm, dr. dr. tai kindly went with me once to the bathroom, where i managed fine by myself. i also let era open the tap lotsa times; originally, when dad got me that automatic tap, i thought poor ela could finally be spared, but no, horrid PIG mum has come up with more ways for poor ela to suffer, like gleefully forcing her to open the tap when i'm using the bathroom @ UQ, or gleefully forcing her to open the ... what's it called, the compartment box in front of the passenger seat.
-and hey, thomas wouldn't tell me how much dinner cost! must pester him toms, or get the parents to.
-dad picked me up, drove me home. surprisingly, PIG mum hadn't gone to sleep yet; guess she stayed awake just to gleefully force poor ela on lotsa random things. and, again, for the SECOND CONSECUTIVE NIGHT, i wasn't allowed any milk!
-but finally, blessed sleep with bear bear and the knowledge that i have again risen above god's hatred by not falling over~
today: i used the pot :P once last night, once again this morning and once more when PIG mum left for work.
-then i cuddled bear bear and happily fell back asleep with him, waking hourly to use the pot :P before tess arrived promtply @ 10am.
-as usual, she lemme sleep until 10:25am before i got up and used the pot :P once more for three tinkles.
-tess got me kitted for the day, then we walked over to the bathroom where i brushed my teeth. thanks to tess who squirted out some toothpaste for me, and had also left me one mug of water, my first to hold 'incorrectly', before i went and did a stinky unspeakable after brushing my teeth.
-afterwards, we walked out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast together. i love saturdays, coz i always get the most breakfast then! :D today, tess had wrapped dad's ham and eggs ('twas thin spam ham, this time!) with one slice of cheese in raisin toast, two mini buns with some marmalade and a lil thin slice of some kinda chive and onion omelette that rodel had made! :D with breakfast, i also had one mug of tea, white and two, my second cup for today i could hold 'incorrectly'.
-after breakfast, i played with her iphone while she massaged ela for about forty minutes. i also asked her please to gimme the milk, and i poured myself one full mug to make up for the fact that i wasn't allowed any last night and the night before. see, there are always ways around how PIG mum treats me! :)
-around midday, tess took me once more to the loo for @ least two tinkles, while she made me some warm milo, again sweetened with a lil honey and my third official cup to hold 'incorrectly'.
-back from the loo, i rang aunty lai and we chatted for about fifteen minutes, before i tried ringing nga. but i guess they were all out, coz nobody answered.
-so i played around with tessa's iphone while she cooked me some fried rice for lunch.
-after PIG mum returned home, tess took me once more to the loo for three tinkles before i signed her off, said my thanks and byes.
-lunch for me was roughly half a bowl of tessa's yummy fried rice with three juicy chunks of pineapple! i tried asking PIG mum for one full bowl (not even a heaped one!) but she was disinclined to agree. :( but i remembered to drink my mug of yummy green mint tea 'correctly' for her, anyway.
-after lunch, i took myself slowly and safely once to the loo. zero thanks to PIG mum who decided her lunch was more important to her than her severely disabled daughter's safety, but i rose above god's hatred and didn't fall.
-plopping online, i also took myself twice more to the loo, once around 2:15pm and once more around 3:30pm.
-well, annette should come supervise my shower in just over ten minutes; i won't have time to watch the naruto anime, but maybe i can read the manga?
-dunno if i'll come back online tonight, though, coz dad's invited guests over for 'dune mmm jeet' (say that in canto)! so just in case i can't, toms:
-just church, nothing special. and coz we're on sem break, ESS will be held down in A1, meaning i get arvo tea afterwards! :D
-there's some AGM happening afterwards, hopefully i can join the little kiddies program.
-fingers crossed i can hit plaza for lunch afterwards~
-then i know julz and dr. lee are coming to visit me in the arvo, yay! righteo, hope to see everyone @ curch toms!
cheers,
em. ^^`

friday post 94b

good afternoon! em's new final plodding total for friday now stands @ 5370. righteo, let's try and start with last night's events first again!
-wow, annette arrived like ten minutes early! a quick shower, plus a hair dry, then we were off to garbo!
-amazingly, i remembered the directions to the underground car park!  and luckily enough, there was just one spot left over waiting. :)
-i pushed sparkless up to the library, grabbed another novella by orson scott card about bean's brilliant kids, and happily read till 6:30. but *sigh* did you know, it takes like thirty minutes for me to read a measely twenty-five pages? :(
-also some little music group suddenly started performing right in front of where i was sitting? this girl sang; she was accompanied by a guy on the bongos, a guy on the double bass and a guy on the guitar.
-at 6:30, annette took me once to the loo, then i pushed sparkless into foodcourt.
-phew, PIG mum lifted her ban on me about not having KFC for dinner; i stuck with my usual, a regular two piece feed with a kookies and kream krusher - and i got a drumstick! :D
-afterwards, annette and i hit woolies, where we bought the horlicks that PIG mum required.
-then, we went all the way down to the discount fruit barn, where we also bought the potatoes PIG mum wanted. annette also picked up some fresh fruit and veg for her family. turns out her son will spend this weekend in respite; he goes once every three months, to give annette and her hubby some time with their daughter.
-another loo trip, then we returned upstairs to breadtop and bought myself a yummy chicken puff for breakfast today and a triple spring onion bun for arvo tea after aunty lucia had showered me.
-but then i was totally broke, and i lamented, coz i'd wanted to have a soft serve cone. :( luckily, awesome annette shouted us both one, and we happily sat in foodcourt slurping. :)
-we also visited jayjays; there are lotsa angry birds tees out right now!
-i also hit dick smith electronics for my fortnightly post from an ipad! lol, when i'd finished, annette had vanished; i tried calling her name four times but didn't get any reply, so i returned to the ipad and just read news articles from news.com.au until annette returned. "where'd you go?" i asked her, but she explained she'd never leave the shop unless she told me first; she'd just been in another section buying some adaptor.
-one more loo trip, then annette tootled me home. she's back on saturday.
-immediate bedtime for me. horrid PIG mum wouldn't even gimme any milk, and i doubt i'll get any tonight, either. :( oh well, i'll just haveta ask tess to please give me a full mug toms morning.
-friday: i used the pot :P three times last night and once more when dearest dad left for work around 8am. then i cuddled bear bear and fell back asleep with him until PIG mum came and prodded me with "fifteen more minutes."
-when she came back, i used the pot :P once more for three tinkles, PIG mum got me kitted, then she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the bathroom, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the kitchen, where she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to the toaster where i got my triple spring onion bun. apparently, dad had eaten my chicken puff! ><
--after breakfast, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the 4WD, where she tootled me off for physio @ UQ. of course, she gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt all day and for the first trip, she chose to listen to some random christian music disc coz she's leading worship next time there's cell group. as for me, i spent the trip until she was along coronation drive with both eyes closed and having a mostly silent chat to percy the angel/saint, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i needed to get through today with, giving all the pleasure, all the satisfaction to PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied.
-argh, PIG mum's gonna gleefully force poor ela on ridiculous amounts of stupid exercises, so just quickly: 
-UQ physio
-grocery shopping @ plaza
-went and saw naz for a kebab with special sauce for lunch, drank a croot and orange juice.
-came back home, aunty lucia showered me and i had my yummy chicken puff plus one mug of mint green tea for afternoon tea.
-off to SHINE fellowship hotpot tonight!
-but expect a pissy plodding total toms, coz i'm not going out. tessa's coming @ 10am, annette @ 4pm and some random adults for dinner to celebrate some festival. oh, and i'm still owed NINE MINUTES online for another time!! >< *sigh*

thursday post 96

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 1472 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'vitamins for spiritual health (4)' and lastly, i'm still owed FORTY-ONE MINUTES online after i get back from garbo tonight!!!! only, i'll never get that time back, coz i'm hitting garbo with annette tonight ... >< *sigh* anyways, events for today?
-i used the pot :P three times last night and once more this morning, before dearest dad came to kiss me good-bye before leaving for work. i asked him please to take PIG mum out for dinner tonight, coz i'm eating out @ garbo.
-cuddlings with dearest bear bear and more sleep until PIG mum came and poked me with "fifteen more minutes."
-when she came back, i used the pot :P once more for three tinkles, she got me kitted, then gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to brush my teeth, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-i buttered and jammed :P my own slice of toast, but zero thanks to PIG mum who gleefully forced poor ela to brace against the plate while era spread. her choice, but it just means i VERY DELIBERATELY held my yummy mug of warm horlicks 'incorrectly'.
-after breakfast, PIG mum tootled me off to writers' group! of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and we also listened to westlife's original album all day, too.
-while PIG mum drove, era helped ela stretch for five minutes, and when we arrived, PIG mum took me to the loo once before leaving.
-as always, group was awesome. :) homework for the next meeting's 'the first time...'
-afterwards, PIG mum took me once to the loo then gleefully FORCED :( me to walk back to the 4WD, where she tootled me off to pincushion practice.
-we saw kylie! @ first, passing the reception desk, i asked PIG mum, "where's kylie? it's not friday yet, she should be working today!" PIG mum didn't know where she was either, and insted, took me to the loo. just when i entered, who should exit the cubicle but kylie! i gave her a hug, and after i came outta the loo myself, kylie pointed us straight into the room.
-pincushion practice went the way it usually does, but i learnt that dr. lin attends some church out ipswich way because when i was very sick in hospital, dr. lin came to visit me and told PIG mum, "if emily survives all this, i'll start attending church." wow!
-afterwards, i asked PIG mum please to take me somewhere with rice for lunch, coz i'm eating western stuff out tonight with annette, toms night i'm having hotpot with SHINE fellowship people and the following night dad's invited over ppl for a BBQ!
-PIG mum chose the korean place @ runcorn plaza. i ordered pork, but will never do so again coz 'twas spicy! well, by their standards it wasn't, but by mine ... i ended up trading my pork for PIG mum's beef. XD
-afterwards, PIG mum tootled us home, i went to the loo once before turning on all the power switches and plopping online.
-just before 3pm though, i went and did a stinky unspeakable. PIG mum ordered i drink one mug of water first.
-which meant that around 3:30pm, nature called and i had to go again! ><
-anyways, annette's coming in twenty minutes and taking me out to garbo! :D fingers crossed that PIG mum'll deem me sufficiently recovered to have KFC; also know i need to buy more yummy horlicks.
-toms: UQ physio, late morning. fingers crossed i can see naz for a kebab for lunch afterwards, coz i wanna try his special sauce! he said 'twas sth like mayo x BBQ sauce x tomato sauce? dunno, but it sounds interesting, anyhow!
-aunty lucia's coming to shower me around 4pm, then i'm off to SHINE fellowship earlier, @ 7pm! see, toms night, we're having hotpot! righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms~
cheers,

wednesday post 106c

good evening again! em's new plodding total for wednesday now stands @ 4038. yay, i'm just over four grand. :) righteo, continuing today's events?
-carol Forced me to walk to the bathroom for my nice hot shower - i washed my hair today, but thanks to her who rinsed it out for me, freeing era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
-i had one tinkle before carol flipped the nice hot water off, then i dried, creamed and rekitted myself. carol wasn't happy that i didn't lean forward to do certain things, but i explained to her my fear of falling forward.
-after carol Forced me to walk out to the kitchen to make my own arvo tea, i lamented @ the time - already 5:40pm! carol praised me for being twenty minutes faster than usual, but i just lamented the extra HOUR i could've enjoyed reading. ><
-BTW, the joni and friends daily devotional topic's 'the cross centered life'.
-sadly, carol only ever allows one slice of cheese for my afternoon toastie, which was ENTIRELY too thin, but @ least i got to squirt mayo, meaning this week's been satisfied twice, yay. :)
-i also enjoyed one very juicy pear and drank one mug of tea, white and two, 'incorrectly'.
-gobbling as fast as possible, i wolfed down my toastie in time for carol to massage ela the full thirty minutes. :) carol painted ela sth like purple fairy floss colour, but i've forgotten the spot colour, sorry.
-before she left, carol took me to the loo once more for two tinkles. sadly, horrid PIG mum has told her that i must dak and un-dak myself too. *sigh*
-after carol left, i returned online very briefly, coz PIG mum suddenly awoke from pigland to immediately and gleefully force me offline.
-thus followed MORE THAN ONE HOUR! of exercises for poor ela!
-i went to the loo once after that, before enduring the less painful (but STILL painful!) calf stretch for ela.
-to top of a crappy day, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( poor em to plod twenty minutes on the bloody treadmill. meaning i'm DEFINITELY singing myself to sleep tonight; screw counting! ><
-dinner while PIG mum plodded her own twenty minutes was rice, lotsa cos lettuce, two yummy chunks of leftover fish from some restaurant meal and three small chunks of chicken, which i of course saved for last. dinner was spooned down with a fairly disgusting bowl of soup, then i took myself slowly and safely back online. PIG mum was too concerned with getting her own dinner to care if her only severely disabled daughter made it safely to the computer table or not.
-hey, brb!
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post 106b

good evening! em's new plodding total for wednesday now stands @ 2140. yay, i'm over two grand. :) righteo, continuing today's events?
-carol arrived five minutes late today, saying there'd been some car accident near the highway exit @ logan road.
-argh, PIG mum's gleefully forcing me offline now. >< fingers crossed i can bbl, else hope everyone's having a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i'm still owed ONE HOUR and FOURTEEN MINUTES online!!!!  *sigh*

wednesday post 106

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 1823 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'vitamins for spiritual health (3)' and thirdly, i'm still owed ONE HOUR and TWENTY MINUTES online tonight after carol leaves!!!! righteo, events for today?
~i used the pot :P three times last night and once more when dearest dad left for work around 8am. then i spent ten minutes having a mostly silent chat to percy the angel/saint, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i needed to get through today with, giving all the pleasure, 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 returning to sleep with him, waking twice more to use the pot :P before PIG mum came and poked me with "fifteen more minutes."
-only i dunno what she was upstairs doing, coz she gave me almost THIRTY before coming back downstairs! XD i used the pot :P once more for three tinkles, PIG mum got me kitted, then she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to the bathroom to brush my teeth, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the kitchen, where she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk here and there to prepare my breakfast.
-actually, thanks to PIG mum who made some chocolate eggy porridge! unfortunately, she had to gleefully force poor ela to hold onto the slice of toast while era quickly ripped the toast into ten pieces, but era kept her promise to ela by combining with the spoon to tear the ten chunks into bite-sized, more manageable pieces. however, zero thanks to horrid PIG mum who wouldn't poor me one mouthful of milk to wash down the porridge with. *sigh* she's nasty like that. :( but i'm used to it.
-after breakfast, i went and did a stinky unspeakable. of course, horrid PIG mum gleefully forced me to dak myself, but i also leaned against the side rail and finished my mostly silent chat to percy.
-afterwards, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to wash and dry both hands, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the 4WD. and one more way PIG mum's invented to make my life even harder for me than it already is: she gleefully forces poor ela to scrub poor era. usually, i wouldn't care @ all, as long as i was seated, but unfortunately, i'm always standing for that. ><
-of course, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and for the trip to vincent the bloody physio, she chose to listen to some christian disc, explaining that she was leading worship next time for cell group. while she drove, era helped ela stretch for ten minutes, then she opened and closed her palm fifty times, holding each for a count of five.
--physio today: thankfully, no forced standing, but i did have to walk between two chairs like TWENTY times because vincent said i wasn't sitting properly.
-hey, carol's arriving soon (in like five minutes, if she's punctual) so fingers crossed i can bbl with the rest of today's events, else i've got writers' group and acupuncture toms, before annette takes me out to garbo! righteo, hope everyone's having a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^

tuesday post 93d

one final good evening! em's final, final plodding total for tuesday now stands @ 5316. righteo, final, final events for today?
-after lunch, PIG mum tootled us home. after one more loo trip (of course, PIG mum gleefully forced me to do everything), i tootled online.
-part of PIG mum's new diabolical plan to make my life as difficult for me as possible is to gleefully FORCE :( to go open the door for carol. after i did so, i just headed straight into the bathroom for my shower, but horrid PIG mum had to follow and clarify her horrid mistreatment: i'm to undress myself completely (currently, before today, i already did all that bar my right shoe and sock), dry, cream and dress myself completely (ie. like how she does it when i shower on sunday). ><
-meaning after i did all that, by the time i wandered outside, 'twas already 5:20pm! ><
-meaning i wolfed down my arvo tea as quickly as i could, to ensure that ela got thirty minutes massage.
-carol took me once more to the loo for two tinkles before leaving. another part of her plan towards me is to make sure i dak and undak myself. *sigh*
-carol's having spag bol tonight for dinner, BTW.
-after she left, i tootled online briefly until PIG mum came down, immediately and gleefully forced me offline.
-so began 30+ mins of forced exercises for poor ela. half way through, i went once more to the loo (almost forgot, idiot me was so forgetful that i didn't drink my tea till almost 5:55pm! carol had a good laugh @ me. XD)
-when dearest dad came home, i went and got his eski for him, before doing the less painful (but STILL painful! ><) calf stretch for fifteen minutes.
-and when PIG mum switched the bloody treadmill on, i went once more to the loo before she gleefully FORCED :( me to plod on it for twenty minutes.
-dinner afterwards: not just rice, but also sticky rice! lotsa cos lettuce, tomato, one tiny slice of egg and two wee chunks of chicken. dinner was washed down with one mug of yummy mint green tea, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', then i went slowly and safely back to the computer (PIG mum was too absorbed watching television to care whether her only, severely disabled daughter made it safely back to the computer or not. >< i also turned on the light for dad.
-at 9:10pm, i took myself once more slowly and safely to the loo, PIG mum too absorbed watching television to even care about my short journey. but i rose above god's hatred and didn't fall.
-tonight, i can stay online till 9:45, coz my torture session with vincent the bloody physio isn't until late toms morning. but i'm gonna sit and refuse to stand up unless he pinky promises me that i can sit for tomorrow's session.
-also hoping that PIG mum'll keep her PROMISE to take me to the calamvale BBQ and chinese restaurant for lunch afterwards!
-unfortunately, no one from cathay community services can come look after me toms; ela's already sulking that she won't get the rubbing for one hour from aunty wendy. :(
-instead, i'll haveta remember to complete my writers' group homework, about a public speaking experience, before carol comes again to shower me.
-best of all, it's dessert night toms night! :D righteo, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

tuesday post 93c

good evening again! em's new plodding total for tuesday now stands @ 5230. yay, i'm half a normal person today. XD righteo, continuing today's events?
-after physio, PIG mum took me once more to the loo, then took me to warrigal square for lunch. while she drove, era helped ela stretch for fifteen minutes then she opened and closed her palm one hundred times, holding each for a count of five.
-before lunch, however, she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk all around woolies to buy sth first. *sigh*
-then, there were any booths available @ sushi table! so instead, we went to little singapore for lunch.
-lol, PIG mum found a new ultimatum for me: share one plate and order drinks, or eat own plate and drink water. *sigh*
-the whole plate won over a milk tea. i chose the yummy hokkien fried rice (lucky PIG mum got all my yucky prawns), although i can't remember what PIG mum ordered, sorry.
-brb!
cheers,
em. ^^

tuesday post 93

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 2598 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'vitamins for spiritual health (2)' and lastly, i'm still owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online after carol leaves tonight!! righteo, events for today?
-i used the pot :P three times last night and once more this morning.
-one more pot :P trip when dearest dad left for work around 8am, then two more after that before PIG mum came and poked me with "fifteen more minutes."
~when she came back, i swung around to the pot :P once more for three more tinkles, PIG mum got me kitted for the day, then she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the bathroom to brush my teeth, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the kitchen, where she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk along the kitchen bench top several times to make my own breakfast.

-breakfast was one slice of toast, which i buttered and jammed :P myself, but zero thanks to horrid PIG mum who gleefully forced poor ela to brace against the plate while era was spreading. that just means i VERY DELIBERATELY held my yummy warm mug of horlicks 'incorrectly'.
afterwards, PIG mum ordered that i go poop. me, being an obedient child, did just that. XD
-then, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk over to wash and dry both hands, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk out to the 4WD, where she tootled me off to physio @ UQ,
-like usual, i spent the trip until PIG mum was somewhere along coronation drive with both eyes closed and having a mostly silent chat to percy the angel/saint, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i needed to get through today with, giving all the pleasure, all the satisfaction to PIG mum and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she could be happy and/or satisfied. opening my eyes near the wesley hospital, era helped ela stretch for five minutes, then she opened and closed her palm fifty times, holding each for a count of five.
-today introduced a new batch of students! my physio for the next five weeks is a guy named jason. he's slightly older than me, and doing his GEM degree (he already has a bachelor of the course joey's doing, human movement/exercise physiology/whatever it's called now. XD
-physio today: peripheral vision tesy, some cone work for ela, a passive calf stretch, some sit-to-stands and four laps walking along the hall.
-argh, carol should arrive soon, but horrid PIG mum's demanding that i go open the door for her! *sigh* righteo, fingers crossed i can bbl, else it's just a torture session with vincent the bloody physio toms, and hopefully PIG mum's remembered her promise to take me to the calamvale BBQ chinese restaurant for lunch!
cheers,
em. ^^
