Thursday Post 186

Good afternoon! Firstly, m's been hard @ work plodding 3385 steps today (which D2 very proudly reports as also equaling sixty-seven kcal or 1.40km XD and secondly, TWFT topic's 'Instrument Rated (4)'. Anyways, events for today?
~Woohoo, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 6:05am, and after one pot :P trip, I spent the ten minutes till 6:15am having a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, 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 only she could be happy and/or satisfied.
-Afterwards, Daddy Bear and I resumed our happy snorings, until dearest dad came to kiss me goodbye before leaving for work. I also used the pot :P once more.
-PIG mum was poking me with "fifteen more minutes," right after dearest dad left. When she came back, I used the pot :P once more for three tinkles (also continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay) and PIG mum got me kitted. Then I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela), before I let her gleefully FORCE :( me to walk out to the gobbling :P table.
--Breakfast was two yummy Weetbix with the smallest amount of honey ever, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water, which I drained holding 'incorrectly' while PIG mum was upstairs changing. I also took the time to finish my mostly silent conversation with Percy the saint/angel.
-Once PIG mum was ready, I let her Force me to walk to the 4WD. Of course, she gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt, and while she was driving, Era helped Ela stretch for ten minutes before Ela opened and closed her palm fifty times, holding each for a count of five.
-At Garbo, PIG mum took me once to the loo then left for work.
-As always, writers group was awesome! :o) Everyone really liked my next paragraph, with Boyd/Harry saying 'twas good that I'd finally moved away from my typically autobiographical way of writing, and Carol suggested that I should try writing kids stories! "You mean more biographies about my teddies?" I asked her. She shook her head. "No, I mean like writing about what happened if your garden gnome suddenly came to life." Lol, interesting!
-Afterwards, Selina took me once to the loo then I sat on a comfy seat in the library while she went to get her two charges. One's a fourteen year old boy called josh who goes to State High; the other's a fifteen year old girl called Angel who attens Mansfield/Marsden.
-Alas, Red Rooster really has gone; I really wanted a pineapple fritter! >< Instead, I had this smoky BBQ burger with chips and water from Oporto. Selina had Maccas, Angel Subway and Josh KFC. oVER LUNCH, WE YAKKED; THEM IN cHINESE; ME IN BROKEN cHINESE WITH BLOBS OF eNGLISH.
-Sorry, shrieking! Afterwards, Angel and Josh decided they wanted milk tea, so our final stop before returning home was Chatime.
-When we got home, I asked Selina to please open the front door and I'd walk with her to turn off the alarm. Only after she opened the front door, Angel and Josh went right in, and our alarm threatened, "Beeep!!" I was like, "Selina, quick!" I whispered our alarm number to her and she ran to switch the alarm off before our street exploded into noise. XD
-Back inside, I went to the loo, telling Josh and Angel they could play the piano if they felt like it.
-I sat @ the computer, listening to them thunk out simple tunes. They tried a duet, but started out on the wrong note! I ended up walking over to the piano and playing the correct one with Angel, who told me she'd taken several lessons back when she was @ primary school.
-Before Selina and the kids left, she took me once more to the loo. I've also been twice more myself, slowly, safely and not allowing the cruel and unfaithful God to push me over.
-Hmm ... Roxana says she can come supervise my shower today @ 3pm, only PIG mum isn't home from work yet! And didn't she just say Joey was coming to teach me pilates @ 3:30?
-Also, Liam and Luke are taking me to see some ICC guy tonight! They're collecting me around 5:15pm; Liam says my manual wheelchair can go intohis boot and that we can get some Maccas for dinner on the way home!
-Toms: late morning UQ physio with ... not Pim; was it Sim? lol, I've forgotten! XD
-Fingers crossed I can get some yummy lunch somewhere afterwards!
-Aunty Lucia's supervising my shower around 4pm.
-And small group will be @ Ray's again. Argh, I feel safer when dad follows me up the stairs, but he's always going on @ me how I should place Erf on the stair! Heck, I never knew there was a 'right' and a 'wrong' way for foot placement when going upstairs! ><"
-So maybe bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing end to their week toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
