Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting
for Thursday! Em’s potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now
stands @ 971. Hey, perhaps I’ll have passed 1000 before the night’s out!
Righteo, events for today?
- Nature called once around 2:30am and again @ 6:45am; after another pot :P trip I spent the ten minutes till 6:55am 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*
- Shirley and I cuddle and snore for another hour, me waking to use the pot :P once more before the new carer arrives five minutes early. Since dad has a brief chat before they enter my bedroom, I’m already back in bed and just wave Shirley @ them with the command “Fifteen more minutes.” XD
- When
the new carer returns, I sit up, we introduce ourselves to each other (she’s
Rosemary from
- After brushing teeth, I sit over the loo for two tinkles, also leaning fully against the side rail and 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*
- At
After washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and
safely out to the gobbling :P table, rising above His near-overwhelming
hatred and not letting Him push me over.
Thanks to Rosemary who got a spoon for me and turned Sunrise Sunrise
- Around
- Now @
- That’s the first time I’ve ever entered the Garbo library through the front door! After using the loo for one tinkle, I can’t find Matthew Reilly’s books so instead grab Lian Hearn’s Lord of the Darkwood and happily read for about one hour, after which I post one update on Facebook.
- One loo trip later, Rosemary and I begin grocery shopping! First we buy groceries from Woolies.
- Suddenly Rosemary declares she’s thirsty and buys herself a drink from Chatime! “You want one too?” She offers. Originally I decline coz I’m sure PIG mum wouldn’t have given me enough money for a drink, but Rosemary says it’s her shout! One chocolate milk tea with pearl for me then, thanks! ^^
- Our drinks finished, we also finish buying groceries from Coles.
- And since there’s still time, Rosemary takes me window-shopping along the new part of Garbo! :D
- For lunch, she drives us back to Ho Lin Wah. Originally she expresses doubt that my manual wheelchair will fit through the narrow door, but I tell her they can open all the way and I’ll walk inside myself.
- Phew, the Cantonese-speaking waitress is working today; she tells me the set meals and I offer a quick translation to Rosemary. She gets the A meal, mapo tofu with rice and I get the B meal, chicken in creamy sauce with rice, hers with a hot lemon tea and mine with a hot HK-style milk tea.
- Oops, I never knew that mapo tofu came with mince and Rosemary’s like allergic to mince! When the Cantonese-speaking waitress appears, I offer profuse apologies but luckily she says no sweat and hands Rosemary the normal menu, from which she chooses some fried noodle dish.
- After lunch, Rosemary tootles us home, I turn off the alarm then take a nice hot shower – hairwash today. Also thanks to Rosemary who helps rinse my hair out for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut. Lol, that’s three consecutive days I’ve had help with the hairwash; back to washing it myself toms, I promise!
- I had one tinkle before I flipped the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Rosemary rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Elf’s AO straps and once last one when she’s giving Wally back to Ela.
- Back outside, I pop online while Rosemary helps blowdry my hair before cleaning the bathroom.
- When PIG mum returns Rosemary leaves a few minutes early. I don’t offer protest; she arrived like five minutes early.
- For arvo tea, we each have half the delicious sausage bun I bought earlier today and one mug of Chinese tea. PIG mum tells me she was busy doing lotsa immunisations andear syringings today.
- Before returning online, I sneak my mobile into the loo and play Farm Heroes while doing a stinky unspeakable. XD
- Willm presumably be watching Thursday night football tonight.
- Toms: Alyssa’s coming to give Ela a session of OT. Jo’s coming with, coz they need to prepare a report for Dr. O’Sullivan for when I see him later this month.
- Seeing Ray for some massage and acupuncture in the arvo; bet PIG mum’s simply DYING to yap ceaselessly @ him. XD
- Then
Kim’s coming to mind me from
- Then I suppose toms night I’m watching Friday night football; the Broncos are playing!
- Righteo,
hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
Cheers,
Em. ^^ - P.S. Joni's devotional topic's 'Specifically For You'.
