Thursday Post 175b

Heylo again, good evening and one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 5973 (ha, D2 reckons I'm more than half a normal person again today; his final, final report for Thursday: 5973 also equals 122 kcal or 2.45km XD) and secondly, Joni's devotional topic's 'Heartfelt, Honest Prayers'. Righteo, final, final events for tonight?
-After dearest arrives home, he suddenly decides we're going out to IKEA! So a quick clothes change for me (I'm already in pyjamas XD) and we're off!
-Alas, PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk all night, but I could feel her hand touching my back, so it wasn't too bad.
-Our first stop was the IKEA restaurant for dinner; I maintain it's not a restaurant; it's a tuckshop! XD
-Only idiot me acidentally knocked over our cup of tea. When a staff lady/cleaner wearing the name tag Nicola came to mop it up, I apologised, but she just laughed and waved it off, saying, "I've done that three times today already." She also mentioned that lunch was busier than dinner; wonder why?
-After dinner, dad wandered on ahead first to find some computer light; after PIG mum and I had finished also (tonight we shared a chicken caesar salad and some fish and chips; lol, when the guy was ladling chips onto our plate, I cheered, "Yay, lotsa chippies, please!"; the guy looked up, grinned then stacked another ladleful of chippies onto our plate for me! XD)
-Actually, I had the chance to ask Nicola, "Why do you guys call yourselves a restaurant? You're really just a cafeteria, aren't you, because you don't have any waiters like normal restaurants would have?" She just laughed. "It sounds fancier that way." XD
-Afterwards, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk all through the huge store, until we finally caught up with dearest dad near the check outs. He showed me some lights he'd found; me, not being able to check them out coz I was too busy focusing on standing, laughed, "I'll just take the biggest one." XD
-Before we left, PIG mum took me once to the loo. (Hey, it's raining now!) We also bumped into Michael and Ivy! Turns out they'd come to IKEA to buy a dining table!
-Forgot to mention before: thanks to PIG mum who helped me buckle my seatbelt for both trips; you know how the cruel and unfaithful God (in many ways, not only this) has abandoned me with ultra-crappy night vision ...)
-After dearest dad tootled us home, I returned online.
-Toms: 10am appointment (or thereabouts) with Epic. Will this FINALLY be the year I can find myself a proper paid job?
-Fingers crossed PIG mum'll take me to Plaza for lunch, where I'm hoping Naz has finally returned!! But we've got a plan even if Naz hasn't returned: we'll try out the chocolate lounge. XD
-Aunty Lucia's coming to supervise my shower around 4pm.
-And I'm off to Pole's for small group toms night~ Righteo, hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
