friday post 108

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 3120 steps today; secondly, TWFT topic's 'prayer (3)'; thirdly, the spam count for the week's nine but forthly and most importantly, i'm still owed SEVENTEEN MINUTES online after aunty lucia comes and helps me with a shower @ 4pm!!! but coz i'm attending joey's 21st tonight, i doubt i'll get the time back ... >< *sigh* the list grows forever longer... >< anyways, let's start off with last night's events first!
~stupid annette arrived one minute late yesterday, and Forced me to walk to the bathroom for my nice hot shower - only there wasn't any hot water! >< meaning i got a bucket shower yesterday arvo. XD yup, a tip bucket over me shower, minus hair wash (meaning PIG mum's being griping sth insane about how disgustingly dirty and oily my hair is... chill, i promise i'll get it washed this arvo. XD )
-actually, before annette tootled us out to garbo, i had to sit outside and wait for her hubby to drop the car off for us! when he arrived, annette immediately called "hi, lukie!" to the boy who climbed out from the passenger seat, but luke just ignored her (he's got autism). instead, i extended my hand to the driver, who was walking up to me. "hi mr. matt, i'm emily. thanks muchly for bringing the car over." matt shook my hand, laughed, then said, "i got all the way home before i realised i was supposed to bring the car back to annette!" XD
-anyways, sparkless was loaded, then annette and i were off!
-luckily, there was a disabled parking spot waiting underground for us; annette Forced me to walk up to the library, i grabbed orson scott card's 'shadows of the giant' then sat down and happily read until 6:30pm, when annette took me once to the loo before we went and got dinner!
-and who should meet me @ KFC but anna! lol, neither of us can remember who found who on facebook first. XD
-anyways, i got my usual (and loving the fact that i can ask for certain pieces!); anna got some kinda prawn tempura from hanaichi (she's really pro with chopsticks!) but i forgot what annette and her daughter got (oh, her daughter rachel joined us for the rest of the night)
-after dinner, we went to dick smiths, where i bought that happy birthday thirty buck itunes gift card for joey's 21st, then did my fortnightly post on an ipad while anna did the same. annette and rachel went window shopping somewhere while anna and i were inside dick smiths.
-all too soon, anna had to leave for her shift @ foodworks @ the hyperdome! i never knew foodworks stayed open 24/7!
-annette and rachel soon came back and we all went to the downstairs breadtop, stopping along the way for a loo trip. actually, rachel and i had the chance to chat briefly while annette was in the loo herself. rach told me that she studied drama, and that she's actually turning fourteen this december but still in year eight.
-huh, the downstairs breadtop had already closed! back upstairs we trundled, then. rachel had a turn @ pushing sparkless with me.
-after buying a bun for breakfast and a bun for arvo tea with aunty lucia, we all enjoyed a soft serve cone! annette and rach are funny, though: both don't eat the cone, just the ice-cream! XD
-and that marked the end of another great night out. annette tootled us home, and i managed to persuade PIG mum to lemme return online for my remaining ten minutes coz we needed to ring mickey and say happy birthday to him!
-we both sang the happy birthday song to mickey together, though i left out the hip hips, guessing he wouldn't understand them. actually, the silly boy's voice has gone all hoarse! aunty nga just said that he'd been too loud @ school. XD
-anyways, repeat the usual nightly routine, then zzz. XD
-today: second consecutive great sleep! :D nature didn't call until 6:30am, and after a pot :P trip, i cuddled bear bear and we snored together until dearest dad came to kiss me good-bye before leaving for work, when i used the pot :P once more.
-after he left, there was more cuddling with bear bear and more happy sleepings until PIG mum came and poked me with "fifteen more minutes."
-when she came back, i used the pot :P for @ least one more tinkle, just swinging myself back into bed when i realised i felt like doing a stinky unspeakable. PIG mum got me kitted, gleefully FORCED :( me to walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth, before she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk outside to the gobbling :P table.
-lol, i thought i'd bought myself a chicken puff, but turns out i actually bought myself a sweet coconut bun! never mind, still yummy. XD i also drank one yummy mug of warm horlicks ans one full mug of water 'incorrectly'.
-after breakfast, i went and did my stinky unspeakable. of course, PIG mum gleefully forced me to dak myself.
-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 (i forgot to thank annette for helping me with that last night) and we also listened to lowell lo all day, too. @ first, PIG mum had wanted to listen to andy hui, but ha, his disc died. XD
-as usual, once PIG mum left the garage/driveway,  i closed both eyes and had a mostly silent chat to percy the saint/angel, asking him to please help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance i needed to get through the day, 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 both eyes somewhere along coronation drive, era helped ela stretch for five minutes then she opened and closed her palm fifty times, holding each for a count of five.
-*sigh* PIG wouldn't park in the spot closest to the entrance for me. :( but i went up to the loo once(we bumped into karen!) then i went to the loo once, before PIG mum left me with some UQ brochure about all the physio clinics they run and went downstairs to pay margit.
-jay came for me with a walkbelt, Forced me to walk in. physio today: twelve laps walking along the hallway, thirty-sit-to-stands, some work for ela and mat work. wonder where kat was today, though? she wasn't inside her office and the door was locked, see.
-afterwards, PIG mum took me once more to the loo for two tinkles then tootled me off to see naz for some fish and chips!
-the only sad thing's that she refuses to check downstairs for a park first anymore, always zooming straight up to the second floor. :( if anything, that just teaches me to be self-centered!
-but i ordered fish and chips from naz (and asked him for lotsa chicken salt on the chips! XD PIG mum growled no, but naz gave me lots anyways. XD lol, i didn't really need lots; lots just means that PIG mum won't steal any from me! XD but i only got water to drink this time ... hopefully that means i can drink a pudding milk tea next time! or if not @ least an iced lemon tea!
-after lunch, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk back to the 4WD and tootled us home. i went once to the loo when we arrived (of course, she gleefully forced me to do everything) then walked myself slowly and safely to the computer, rising above god's hatred and not letting him push me over.
-well, aunty lucia should arrive soon to help me with a shower, then:
-i'm off to joey's 21st party tonight! :D
-tess comes @ 10am toms then dominique @ 4pm. righteo, hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^
