Wednesday Post 263c


Good afternoon again! Em’s new plodding total for Wednesday now stands @ 1417. Anyways, continuing last night’s events?

  • We were the second-last to arrive; Alan and Joy were the last. Joy sat beside me, and I got the chance to know her better; like Alan, she’s a physio (they met @ UQ), she came to Brisbane for high school and she’s five/six years younger than me.
  • I ordered this delicious fried chicken with rice (more fried chicken than I’d get for the whole year!), Dr. Lee ordered raw beef with rice while Alan and Joy shared this spicy soupy noodle with beef.
  • After dinner, we all go to Matt’s favourite place for drinks: gongcha. I order this ‘superior’ milk tea with pear but confess to having inferior taste buds: this ‘superior milk tea just tasted like normal milk tea! XD
  • When Dr. Lee decided to call it a night, he wheeled me back to his car and tootled me home. Usually, I help push but he said please stop coz I can only push with Era so was pushing only in one direction, which he had to compensate for.
  • Back home, I used the loo once (dad chucked a cow @ me for ‘dropping’ the toilet seat down instead of placing it gently down; must remember to do that whenever he’s around), wrote down my final, final plodding total for Tuesday and hit the sack. Pity PIG mum wouldn’t lemme quickly do each Lumosity brain game once, but oh well~

Today: yay, 5th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until 4:50am (my favourite thing about Summer: how early the sun rises!) and after one pot :P trip I spent the ten minutes till 5am 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*

  • Usually, nature calls every hour after the first pot :P trip, but incredibly, from 5am I snored straight until 7:45am, when dearest dad came to kiss me bye before leaving for work!
  • One more pot :P trip for me when dearest dad leaves for work, before about another hour’s worth of cuddling and snoring for the teddies and I. PIG mum a-THUMPING around upstair’s my signal to wake and use the pot :P once more; soon, she’s let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and help me very slightly with a bra strap before leaving me to get myself mostly independently kitted, which I comply with after giving myself fifteen more minutes.

PIG mum comes back to help with Elf’s AFO and both laces, before I let her gleefully FORCE L me to walk over to the bathroom to brush teeth (poor Ela). Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for two tinkles, also fully leaning the side rail continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*

  • After washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :p table, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Breakfast is some Weet-Bix porridge with some dry (unbuttered) toast torn into it, one full mug of water, all my usual drugs :P and one small half-mouthful of milk. Unfortunately, I haveta let PIG mum gleefully force poor Ela to hold each pill bottle while Era unscrews the pill bottle lid, the pills are taken out and Era rescrews the lid, but hey, no real biggie coz I’m seated and can fully concentrate.
  • After breakfast, I walk myself slowly and safely online, again rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • Aunty Deana arrives to mind me for three hours and PIG mum rocks out shopping; around 11:30am I use the loo once more but I know I’m safe coz Aunty Deana’s with me.
  • Lunch is one yummy toasted tuna with tomato and onion sandwich, cut into four squares. Thanks to Aunty Deana who adds one slice of cheese for me; I also drink one yummy mug of chocolate milk.
  • After lunch, I drink half a mug of water before doing a stinky unspeakable.
  • Back @ the gobbling :P table, I munch a pear. It’s decidedly not yummy, coz it’s neither juicy nor crunchy! Disgusting texture … Aunty Deana offers to cut me another pear to eat instead, but I told her not to bother coz how did she know this second pear wasn’t yucky too? But I happily read Child of Vengeance for like thirty minutes while she massages Ela and watches videos with her phone.
  • Before Aunty Deana leaves I use the loo once more for one tinkle. When PIG mum comes bac home, we head out to Warrigal Square to buy Polyvisc from the chemist (we see Chris working today), sushi (my arvo tea) from the Sushi Train and groceries from Woolies.
  • Back home, I switch the alarm off and walk myself slowly and safely online, always rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.
  • First I rang CODA to find out who was coming tomind me from 4:30pm till 6:30pm; it’s Carol. Must remember to confirm with her she’s taking me shopping toms, too
  • Tonight’s ice cream night, yay for that! Like I say every week, a very little’s better than none @ all!
  • Toms: I have another shopping trip with Carol? I’m pretty sure I already went with her last week, but there’s always slight confusion whenever a new month arrives.
  • Wonder if the Lungs will be free for lunch together again @ Woka Woka? If yes, great but if not, that’s cool too, Carol and I will eat together.
  • Then fingers crossed dearest dad will take us out for dinner together tonight!
  • Righteo, hopefully bbl once Carol leaves, else hope everyone’s having a smashing week!

Cheers,

Em. ^^
