Thursday Post 399b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for today! Firstly, I've already logged in today's plodding total @ 3987 but secondly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-EIGHT MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm bulletin for the 8th time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for Thursday?

• Nature called again around 6:30am; 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* 
• Around 7:20am, PIG mum begins her noisy daily a-THUMPING around, which awakens me for another pot :P trip. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going out again and awaiting Karina's arrival @ 7:30am.
• When Karina arrives, she bids bother uber and me good morning and offers us fifteen more minutes before going down the hallway for PIG mum to yap @ her. XD
• When Karina comes back, we get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirted some toothpaste for me. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for only one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• Breakfast is one bowl of bird food (what Dr. Ku calls All-Bran XD) that Karina sliced yummy banana into), all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. 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?? *sigh* I also happily read the J odi Picoult novel for one hour, reaching page fifty @ 9:18am.
• While Karina shuts and locks 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 passenger seat. Thanks muchly to her who helped me with my seatbelt all day. Karina turned on the alarm and then tootled me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown for my fortnightly shopping trip, finding a side park outside level two.

• While Karina went and found the groceries PIG mum wanted, I sat inside the entrance and posted an update on Facebook. When she came back, I used the loo for one tinkle and then we grabbed a trolley and began shopping @ Woolies. Passing Woolies, Caitlin saw me and called out a greeting; I waved back and said please don't take lunch break until I come through the self-serve checkouts! She replies sure!

• As we push the trolley through the aisles, suddenly Caitlin appears! "I wanted to wait for you," she explained, "but they sent me on break." We just chatted for a few minutes; Caitlin told me she's working till 4pm today.

• After buying groceries from Woolies we catch the lift up onto the top floor (4th) and buy groceries from Coles.

• Our last stop before leaving's New  York Baguette. I sit outside and hook Erf around the trolley while Karina pops inside and gets me one sausage bun and one custard bun.

• Then it's lunchtime! Since the parents had ordered we buy takeaway and come home to eat, we walked inside and took a seat. The place was packed and there was a thirty-minute wait for our lunch!

• Back home, I turn off the alarm and we tuck in! I asked Karina please to empty my lunch into a bowl since I remember Tay's story about how once he ate straight from the takeaway container only to find a COCKROACH inside; lol, the chef packed so much food into my serve the baked fish fillet rice fell out in one rectangular block! XD Karina had Hokkien fried rice with a Coke.

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

• I had one tinkle before Karina flipped the nice warm water off, got dried, got creamed and had another tinkle. When Karina rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was helping with Elf's AFO straps and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.

• While I booted the computer up, Karina went and cleaned the bathroom. At 3:30pm, I signed her off with my thanks and byes. She's back again same time next Thursday and will have steak for dinner tonight.

• When PIG mum got home, she nabbed half my sausage bun and poured me one cup of lemon ginger water. Before returning online and watching the news for the 8th time, I smuggled my mobile into the loo, did another stinky unspeakable and played Candy Crush. XD

• Leann rang @ 6:09pm saying that Amy can't come tomorrow and she's looking for someone who can; she rang back three minutes later and said Ete will come 9-1.

• But didn't PIG mum say we were getting our COVID booster jabs tomorrow morning and dearest dad's getting his @ night? I thought she was mean to book Tiff to gimme an OT session toms arvo; what happens if I'm all buggered out after the third shot?? o_O

• Fingers crossed I can read the Picoult novel for one hour and that I can watch the 6pm bulletin for the 9th time!

• Righteo, hopefully bbl after dinner else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
