Thursday Post 300b

 Heylo again, good afternoon again and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4583. Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Nature calls again around 6am when dearest dad very considerately walks silently along the hallway and slides closed the bathroom door, the sound which wakes me; after another pot :P trip I spend ten minutes 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* 
• Nature usually calls every hour after that morning wakeup call but happiness today was snoring peacefully until dearest dad very considerately walks silently along the hallway and unpops the lock leading into the garage before waking for another pot :P trip.
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, retucks me into bed and leaves for his hard day's work, I happily snore for another hour, waking once more for the pot :P shortly before PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back out to await Karina's arrival @ 7:30am.
• Karina's very polite in that she knocks, bids both Uber and me good morning and offers us fifteen more minutes, but she counted too fast and came back two minutes early! Uber told her two more minutes and she thankfully withdrew without protest. XD
• When Karina comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom to brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirts me some toothpaste; Ela enjoys her first official break~ Teeth brushed, I sit over the toilet for just one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• Breakfast is the new flaky bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD), woo hoo! PIG mum has said this type has half the fibre of the little sticks one but I reckon it's yummier, so ha! XD I also much one slice of lightly buttered toast with BLACKBERRY jam (and it's surprisingly nice!) pop all my usual drugs :P and drain oone full mug of water. Thanks to Karina who turns on Sunrise for my viewing pleasure; over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes 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?? *sig After breakfast, while Karina closes and locks the windows, I sit over the loo once more. 

There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!

•  After washing and drying Era, I climb into Karina's backseat and she tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown for my shopping trip! Thanks to her who helped me with my seatbelt all day~

• At Sunnybank Hills ShoppingtI grab a seat outside level two and post an update onto Facebook while Karina goes and finds the groceries. Suddenly, PIG mum rings me! Turns out she's left her house keys with me; she's finished swimming now and will ring again when she reaches Sunnybank Hills to see where we are so she can get the keys back.

• Karina comes back; I tell her about PIG mum's forgotten keys and we begin our shopping trip with my phone lying over my bag; I'll see it PIG mum rings.

• Lol, she rings when we're approaching The Fruit Temple! When she arrives, I immediately notice: "Where's your mask??" I  hiss. PIG mum claps her hand over her mouth, "Oops I totally forgot! She grabs the keys from my bag and then bolts off.

• First we grab a trolley and start grocery shopping @ Woolies, since Karena says she saw 'my friend' (Caitlin) when she entered earlier to find the groceries. When we near the self-serve checkouts, I spot her. "Hi, Caitlin!" I call, before amending, "Hi, Caitlin's hair, I mean! Sorry I'm not tall enough to see all of you but I'm pretty sure that's your hair I was saying hello to." Caitlin goes up onto her tippytoes to see me too; I say we'll come through the self-serve after grabbing our groceries. While we get them, we bump into Jessica, too!

• After we buy groceries from Woolies we head upstairs and buy groceries from Coles, since Karina says she's already bought me buns from New York Baguette.

• Our last stop for the day's to The Glen to meet Mrs. Burvill-Shaw and Mr. Burvill for lunch! It's so good to see them! :D

• Only Karina orders the roast of the day; both Burvill-Shaws and I order pizzas! They get drinks and cheesy garlic bread too; I just order water coz that's free and the pizza already costs like $28!

• Over lunch, we just chat. I tell them what befell me and Mrs. Burvill-Shaw tells Karina and me what befell her. Turns out she had one stroke but the hospital sent her home and then she had a second stroke and some emergency chopper flew her interstate (NSW) for brain surgery but she then had a third stroke and had part of her skull removed! o_O Apart from that she's thankfully not had any other physical deficits ... sometimes I despair that I will forever walk with a disabled gait but seeing Mrs. Burvill-Shaw ... dare I hope that one day I will once more walk normally?? I'm too scared to ask Mr. Jig-Air and Mrs. Hoppie. :P 

• After lunch Karina tootles me home and I take a nice warm shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helps me rinse my hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• I have one tinkle before Karina flips the nice hot water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Karina rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Erf's sock and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.

• Back outside, I pop online while Karina returns and cleans the bathroom before coming to massage Ela gently for awhile.

• At 3:30pm I head over to the gobbling :P table and sign her off with my thanks and byes. She's back again next Thursday same time.

• For arvo tea I let PIG mum nab half my sausage bun and she gives me one mug of lemon ginger infusion in return.

• Then I sneak my mobile into the loo and play Candy Crush before returning online. XD

• Toms: presume someone's gonna help me up and take me out somewhere coz PIG mum's got Tiff coming to gimme OT; we're cooking white sauce pasta!

• Fingers crossed I can read for one hour and watch the 6pm bulletin!

• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!

  Em. ^^
