Friday Post 288c

Good evening and probably one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em’s probable final, final plodding total for Friday now stands @ 4199 and secondly, Joni’s devotional topic’s ‘Contemplations of The King’. Righteo, probable final, final events for Friday?

• Alas, before leaving, I had to let PIG mum gleefully FORCE L me to plod twenty-five minutes on the bloody treadmill for her.
• After getting changed, I got into the 4WD and she tootled me out to Calamvale Central for my cheap haircut.
• Only there’s a line, so instead PIG mum says let’s have lunch @ Chatterbox first.
• Dino has come back!!! I didn’t see her @ first, but PIG mum’s good with faces, recognised her and excitedly told me! We hugged; I told her I was really happy to see her again and she was like, “See? Told you I’d come back~ XD
• After ordering our lunch, PIG mum wanders off to buy groceries, leaving me reading the day’s Courier Mail. It’s not busy @ Chatterbox yet, so Dino wanders around and tells me about her trip. I gripe @ her that she forgot to come back big and fat; Dino grabs her flat belly and exclaims, “But I’ve gained heaps of weight!” I also give her my mobile phone number; hopefully we can stay in touch on Whatsapp although I’ve explained to her I don’t get mobile access unless I’m out.
• For lunch, I munch one spinach and feta filo with a warm hot chocolate while PIG mum has two thick-cut slices of raisin toast with a mocha.
• Afterwards, I get my cheap haircut. It’s a very busy day today; the guy cutting my head tells me that I’m already the 25^th head that he’s cut today! Novelty: while he’s trimming my fringe, he actually instructs me to tilt my head DOWN! Usually, PIG mum’s always ordering that I look up.
• Hair chopped, before leaving Calamvale Central we buy milk, coz PIG mum said when she went to buy fruit earlier the line was massive and she ran outta time to buy milk.
• Meaning we’re about fifteen minutes late to ray’s place. Like I said last time, I don’t care if PIG mum wants to come off as desperate; I’ve asked her three times if I’m personally addressed could she please lemme reply first before she jumps in with her greeting? No, she can’t resist: Ray waks out, says, “Hi, Emily!” and mother can’t refrain and immediately burbles back, “Hi, Ray!” XD
• After using the loo once, I lie down and get some massage and acupuncture from Ray. PIG mum’s in her element, of course, unceasingly yapping @ Ray; my grateful thanks to him who always replied and kept a conversation going. Not only that, Ray gave me some powdered HK-style milk tea; can’t wait to try it!
• Session over, I used the loo once more then PIG mum tootled us home. Hallelujah, Mr. Hall had already arrived, thus saving me one day from having turned off the alarm.
• Once I sat down, he immediately gave me my birthday present: he’d gotten me an E-READER!! :D Not only that, he’d also gotten me that new garth Nix novel I’d told him about! The e-reader needed charging, but Mr. Hall threatened that had I not figured out how to use the device next time he dropped by for a visit, he’d take it back. My cheeky reply? “Guess I’d better find a good hiding spot for it, then.” XD
• Aunty Kitty came twenty minutes late today. Mr. Hall decided to leave when she arrived, so after giving him a big hug and thanking him for my awesome birthday present, I walked him to the door. And what great timing: dad just returned home @ that moment, too! Handshakes for the gentlemen, then~
• So a nice hot shower for me today – I washed my own hair, but thanks to Aunty kitty who rinsed it out for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Aunty Kitty rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Elf’s AFO straps and one last when she gave me a square of toilet paper to dry inside both ears with.
• Back outside, arvo tea was one yummy banana and one mug of Chinese tea. Yes, once PIG mum passed me the banana, Era quickly tore it open and I quickly shoved it down my gob lest Aunty Kitty gleefully force poor Ela’s participation.
• Once Aunty Kitty had cleaned the bathroom, PIG mum signed her off and she left more than ten minutes early; lucky woman got one full hour’s pay for like only forty minutes’ work!
• Before returning online, I used the loo once more for two tinkles.
• Somehow PIG mum figured out how to use my e-reader! I immediately read the excerpt of that book Jen/Second Mum recommended @ book club last night, The Tattooist of Auschwist – argh, fingers crossed I can bbl!
• Cheers,
• Em. ^^
