Sunday Post 183

Good morning, and HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!! Tee hee, I really love these opportunities where I get to post before midday. XD Firstly, my final, final plodding total for Saturday actually stands @ 3691; secondly, today I’ve only been hard @ work plodding 400 steps (because I obviously haven’t left the house yet); thirdly, TWFT topic’s ‘The New Year (2)’ and fourthly, the spam count for the weekend’s twenty-five but fifthly and way most importantly, I’m still owed FIFTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I get back home this arvo!!! Anyways, let’s start off with last night’s events first!

-        Alas, I really did haveta let the parents gleefully FORCE L me to plod 800 steps on the bloody cross trainer for them, even though I actually went like 824 (the stupid thing’s got an inaccurate counter ><).

-          Oh, at 9:45am I played one game of Bejeweled lasting 6:32; now, lemme just play one more lasting in between five and six minutes and I’m happy to call it quits for today. XD

-        yup, then @ 9:56 I played another game of Bejeweled lasting 5:41; am content to stop playing until tomorrow. Xd

-        After a complete set of clothes change (PIG mum helps me slightly with the tee, then leaves me to get the rest of myself kitted while she showers upstairs. Once she’s done, she comes back down to help me finish whatever I haven’t changed yet) we have dinner. Only Uncle Calvin suddenly rings dad and says that he and Ping Yee are down @ the Glen, waiting for the little kiddies fireworks @ 8:30pm, and won’t we join them?

-        So I visit the loo once more where PIG mum helps me put a bra on, then dad tootles us down to the Glen!

-        Dad drops us off first @ the entrance, then goes to repark the car. There’s some security guard already manning the front door, but when he sees I’m disabled he opens the door for us and we head right in. we haveta ask two more staff for directions before we finally find Aunty Catherine and Uncle Calvin; indeed, dad parks the car and finds us about the same time we find the Kwoks! XD

-        Originally, PIG mum said she’d get me an orange juice but instead she returns with some lemon lime and bitter? Surely she must know I’m not a big fan of soft drinks … but hey.

-        Dad and Uncle Calvin move to another table to yap, PIG mum yaps @ Aunty Catherine and I just watch the BBL on one of the TVs mounted on the wall.

-        Suddenly, the announcement’s made that it’s time for the 9pm fireworks! We head outside; I wanna sit in this empty seat but for some reason, dad orders that I stand? No biggie, coz he says I can lean against him.

-        Thefireworks are beautiful! Some twirl around and there were a few blue ones too!

-        Once it’s finished, we head home. I use the loo once then hike upstairs for my yearly trek to my upstairs room; thanks to PIG mum who brings Bear Bear for me.

-        While she’s surfing the net and reading me random news stories, I have a chat to God, telling Him how disappointed with Him that He still hasn’t healed me yet and asking Him please to protect me this year.

-        Quite early (before 9:45pm), PIG mum announces I’ve gotta head back down coz she’s hitting the sack. I use my upstairs loo once, also taking the time to read one chapter of Garth Nix’s Lirael.

-        Downstairs, I complete my reflections for 2016 then @ 11:55pm, head over for the official countdown with my dearest dad and Bear Bear! Earlier that day, I’d already found that ABC was hosting the countdown; dad didn’t believe me and kept flicking to all these other channels! Thankfully, he heeded my advice and flicked back to ABC in time for the countdown~ XD

-        Afterwards, I ring Mickey to bid him and Aunty Lai Happy New Year! Poor Aunty Nga was still @ work, 10pm on a Saturday night, but I hope she made it home before 2017 arrived!

-        Then repeat the usual nightly events, zzz~

Today: yay, but better start to 2017 then with an awesome sleep last night (my 10^TH consecutive one, actually)! Nature didn’t call until 6:20am, and after one pot :P trip, I spent the ten minutes till 6:30am beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*

-        My teddies and I cuddled and snored; I was hoping to wake once more one hour later and use the pot :P again before PIG mum came into my room. I started counting and had only reached 167 when PIG mum started a-THUMPING around upstairs. “That’s weird,” I thought, “Why’s she thumping around that early?” I roll around to peer @ the clock and am very surprised to see that it’s already like 7:30am; I must’ve fallen back asleep without knowing it! XD

-        This morning, PIG mum helps me not only very slightly with a bra but a tee also, coz dearest dad hasn’t left for church yet.

-        After giving myself fifteen more minutes, I get myself mostly kitted. PIG mum comes back to help with Elf’s AFO and both shoelaces, only because she doesn’t wanna be late getting to church; bet I’m tying those laces myself later when I shower!

-        That done, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE L me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela – bbl!

Cheers,

Em. ^^
