Thursday Post 304b

 Heylo again and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4234 (see, told you I'd pass four grand! XD)but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed THIRTY-SEVEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 52ND time! Righteo, potential final, final events for today?

• Sure enough, exactly one hour later, PIG mum's noisy a-THUMPING around upstairs awakens me for another pot :PO trip, after which 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* 
• When Karina arrives promptly @ 7:30am, PIG mum lets her in. She knocks, pushes the door open, bids both Uber and me good morning before saying, "Hitting the snooze button for fifteen minutes, yes?" Uber nods @ her and Karina wisely makes herself scarce. XD Both parents come and say goodbye and then leave for work.
• When Karina gets back, I swing myself over to the pot :P for a few more tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for just one tinkle, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
• Originally, PIG mum said she'd leeme eat one little box of fun cereal every Wednesday, since we both forgot yesterday, she let Karina gimme the little box of Rice Bubbles today instead, and just like Coco Pops, after you initially pour the milk in, you hear the ceral softly going pop pop pop! For breakfast, I also munch one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with some avocado and sprinkled with a little salt, 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*
• After breakfast, 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 and she tootles me  off to Sunnybsnk Hills Shoppingtown for my fortnightly shopping trip, doing a side park on level two.

• After using the loo once, I grabbed a new Feist book to read, Firemane book one written by Feist! I thought he'd retired after Magician's End, I didn't realise he'd kept going until I received a book catalogue with the Firemane series book two! Happily read that for one hour, finishing page twenty-five @ 10:10am! Unfortunately I've lost my notes app? But Karina recorded in her mobile that I'd reached page forty-eight. 

• After one more loo trip, we started grocery shopping @ Woolies; Caitlin and I had a brief chat while Karina was taking my items from the assisted checkout. Poor thing has been working since 7am!

• Next, we took the elevator up onto level four and bought more groceries from Coles.

• Finally, I sat on the bench outside New York Baguette and hooked Erf onto the trolley while Karina ducked into New York Baguette to buy me one sausage bun and one custard bun. Lol, she was feeling peckish herself and bought herself a sausage bun also; when I told her that sharing's caring and gestured @ her sausage bun, she tore a little chunk for me! 

• For lunch, Karina tootled us off to C Cafe in Sunnybank Plaza. All the upstairs disabled parks were taken but luckily she found one downstairs. 

• Lol, I feel like a loyal customer: as Karina and I were walking into the end of the restaurant where the comfy leather seats were, Jacky was walking towards us holding platefuls of food. When I waved Green Sticky in the air saying hi, he nodded hello back and then jerked his head in the direction of the leather seats @ the back of the restaurant; who needs words? XD

• Today I got the chicken wings with fried egg lunch special with spaghetti and not rice! Karina was even fancier: she ordered a STEAK! It came with crinkle cut chips; when her sizzling plate arrived, she waved her hand @ the chips and then @ me, gesturing 'take one'. I say thanks, grab one, stick it into my mouth and ... oww, singed tongue. >< Eating anything will feel slightly tingly tingly for several days now. I've learnt from experience never to let a hot drink enter my mouth until my lips have tested the temperature first (years ago, I burnt my poor tongue red gulping one mouthful of rice green tea ><) but I never thought CHIPS would be that hot too! >< Lesson learnt. *sigh* I drank a cold HK-style milk tea coffee with that while Karina had her usual Coke. Her meal was super-expensive, like twenty-seven bucks!

• Back home, I turned the alarm off and then took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who helped me rinse my own hair out, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.

• I had one tinkle before Karina flipped 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 Elf's AFO straps and one last when she was giving Wally back to Ela.
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
