friday post 106

good afternoon! firstly, em's been hard @ work plodding 6134 steps today (yeah, i'm more than half a normal person XD); secondly, joni's devotional topic from last night's 'my own baggage'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'say no!'; fourthly, the spam count for the week's nineteen and fifthly and most importantly, i'm still owed FORTY-FIVE MINUTES online after aunty lucia comes and helps me with a shower!!! righteo, let's start off with last night's events first!
~annette arrived just before 4pm, and after a quick shower, we hit garbo! much thanks to annette who helped me with my socks; i understand that come saturday, i'll be doing them all myself. she just helped me so i could have the longest possible time @ the library. :)
-yay, there was an available parking spot downstairs waiting for us; i held annette's hand and walked to the library with her. however, instead of letting me sit down before she got sparkless for me, she insisted i get the book myself! sadly, this just meant i didn't have time to browse for one i liked; i just grabbed the first orson scott card one i saw then went to sit down.
-turns out i'd grabbed xenocide, one that i'd started reading before. but i happily reread that for the next eighty minutes until 6;30, when annette took me once to the loo. only she wheeled me to some outside loo! 'annette, where are you going?" i protested. "the loo near food court's fine! if you take me to some outside loo, i'll be walking till midnight before i reach food court!' annette just laughed. 'don't worry," she reassured me. 'you already did your extra walking when you picked your book out to read. you can sit back down after you go to the loo.' awesome~
-i got my usual; one original two piece feed with a kookies and kream krusher. turns out you CAN request pieces! that's how i'll operate for all subsequent garbo trips, then; one drumstick and one breast piece. :D
-annette got herself sth from sumo salad with a 500mL juice; i thought she was being healthy, but then she returned with some KFC chips! XD
-after dinner, we went to stacks to buy birthday cards: one for vincent the physio and kat jie jie, the other for joey's 21st! while i was looking, annette browsed the shop for new washers, but didn't find any.
-annette took me once more to the loo, then i headed downstairs and used an ipad for about ten minutes, uploading a new status onto facebook and then reading joni's daily devotional. that was @ dick smith electronics, BTW.

-then we went all the way to the end, where annette found a new washer for me! but it's not a pig; i think it's a COW. XD
-after checking jayjays (i found this really nice tee with a heart!) we went back upstairs to breadtop, where i bought three buns: two for me and one for dearest dad. PIG mum disdains breadyop buns, coz she reckons they're too oily. XD
-almost forgot to add! annette bought me a treat! she asked PIG mum for permission, first, said 'twas coz i'd been doing so well basically showering all by myself. i chose a giant sprinkle; she asked me, 'do you want the heart or the star?" i considered for a moment, then replied, "whichever one has the biggest surface area." XD
-happiness was still having cash left over for ice-cream afterwards! :D actually, i had enough for a oreo cookie mcflurry with added chocolate topping, but annette was adamant i have only a soft serve, "else i'm never taking you to garbo again." huh, fine. :(
-and one final loo trip for me before we headed back home. i just realised, we forgot to check out toys 'r' us! lol, next fortnight, if i remember. XD
-back home, i went to the dining room and gave dad his peanut bun before PIG mum booted me off to bed. zzz. XD
-hey, aunty lucia's just arrived, so fingers crossed i can bbl, else i had extra-long UQ physio today, then i accompanied PIG mum to salisbury for her work meeting, which's why i couldn't see naz for some fish and chips today. :( tessa's coming @ 10am to mind me for three hours toms, before annette comes @ 4pm to watch me shower. best of all, we're hitting pole's house toms night to sample the food for joey's 21st!
cheers,
em. ^^
