Thursday Post 170b

Heylo again! Em's new plodding total for today now stands @ 1211; D2's new report: 1211 steps also equals ... okay, some calculation has been screwed up; D2 will try his hardest to return toms. XD Anyways, continuing today's events?
-Breakfast was two yummy Weetbix with the smallest amount of honey ever, one full mug of water and all my usual drugs. :P While PIG mum was upstairs changing, I also continued my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay.
-After breakfast, I went once more to the loo before Roxana arrived for two tinkles, this time leaning briefly against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel.
-When Roxana arrived, we hit Garbo together!
-Luckily, there was a car space waiting for us underground when we arrived. I held Roxana's hand gently and walked well up into the library with her, grabbed Orson Scott Card's 'Shadow Puppets' then bagged a sofa and read happily away. Roxana went quickly to the Post Office then rejoined me.
-Lol, we were both so happily engrossed in our respective books that we forgot to leave! Suddenly, just before 11am, I noticed the time, and said, "Eep, Roxana, please bring me my manual wheelchair; it's almost 11am!"
-In Sparkless 2, Roxana and I first visited Breadtop, where I again grabbed the biggest bun available, the ham and cheese burger.
-next, we went downstairs to Dick Smiths, where I updated on an Ipad while Roxana sat outside somewhere.
-Leaving to visit JayJays, I stopped @ some side stall that was handing out free coffee samples! The one I tried was interesting, but I was like, "Ugh, it needs sugar." The lady laughed and replied, "sorry, I forget! Here, lemme add some for you." Two teaspoonfuls of sugar later and a quick stir, ahh. Caramel coffee doesn't taste half bad! ;)
-After visiting JayJays, there was enough time to visit the teddies @ Kmart, but unfortunately not enough time to visit the Jstore. Ah well, perhaps next fortnight.
-Before meeting Anna @ the upstairs food court, I actually ducked inside QBD for a quick browse.
-At foodcourt, outside KFC, I just started to message Anna on Facebook and tell her that I'd arrived, when I heard Roxana greeting her!
-I stuck with my usual, the two piece box with a kookies and kream krusher. Anna had curry chicken from Hanaichi (which she SMOTHERED with curry powder!) and Roxana had two sushi rolls, one prawn, the other crab.
-We just all yakked away. Anna told me how her mum and Kathleen have gone to Lord Howe Island (go east from Sydney) for a short holiday!) She also said she worked @ some post office located between Ipswich and the Gold Coast (Ormeau?)
-Afterwards, Roxana and I went to buy pears. First we checked out the price of pears from Fruits of Life (the fruit shop directly outside Woolies), then we went inside to check the price of pears inside Woolies. Fing pears from Woolies 2b more expensive, we went back outside, where I asked Roxana please to teach me how to find a good pear. "See, squeeze here," she instructed, passing me the pear that she was holding. "It's too soft; can you feel that?" I most certainly did: when I took the pear from her, I squeezed too hard and the skin burst! I quickly put it back down, patted and apologised to it. XD Roxana laughed and chose three ripe ones.
-By then, 'twas home time. Roxana validated our parking ticket, then she tootled us home. I turned off the alarm then went into the bathroom.
-So a nice warm shower for me - hairwash today. Also thanks to Roxana who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. I remembered to avoid my dermatitis patch, but 'twas such a relief being able to scrub everywhere twenty-five times (see? I'm twenty-six now, but I've stopped @ twenty-five!). I'm finally clean~
-I had one tinkle before Roxana flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, had another tinkle, then got creamed. Roxana rekitted me, and I had one last tinkle when she was repinning D2 onto my pants for me.
-Roxana and I held hands and I walked back out to the computer table with her, where she told me that dad had rung before my shower, asking me to ring him back please. So I called dad; turns out he just wanted to check that I was still alive. XD
-Before Roxana left, she took me once more to the loo. She'll be back next fortnight to take me to Garbo again! And turns out she knows Annette - they attend the same church together! Must remember to only write her a thank-you card come Christmas, like with Annette and Aunty Mecky.
-After she left, nature suddenly called, and so I took myself once more slowly and safely to the loo and back, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Lol, when PIG mum arrived home, turns out she'd forgotten her keys! Meaning again, 'twas me who walked slowly and safely to the front door and welcomed her back in, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-So while PIG mum had lunch; I enjoyed half my ham and cheese burger for lunch, my official cup for today to hold 'incorrectly'.
-After lunch, I walked myself slowly and safely back online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God's near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
-Toms: late morning UQ physio with Eric. Gosh, I hope they won't stick me on that beastly machine again! :S Well, if Kat wants to, first I'll need that promise from her that horrid PIG mum won't gleefully FORCE :( me to plod on that bloody treadmill for her @ night. Actually, didn't she mention sth about cheesecake ...?
-Fingers crossed I can have some udon for lunch @ the Sushi Train! I didn't get any for Monday, from memory ...?
-Aunty Lucia's coming to supervise my shower around 4pm.
-And I'm off to Pole's for small group toms night!
-Doubt I'll bbl tonight, coz I've already been online for the PISSY two hours that PIG mum so gleefully restricts me to, so just wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
