Thursday Post 313b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 4316 (ha, I'm over four grand; that doesn't happen too often! XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed FIFTEEN MINUTES online should I get to watch the 6pm news bulletin for the 92ND time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

  • Like clockwork, one hour later I'm awakened by PIG mum's noisy daily a-THUMPING around upstairs; 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* 
  • Once PIG mum lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo, she turns off the heater and then goes back outside awaiting Karina's arrival. Once Karina comes inside, PIG mum bolts off her for morning's work.
  • After Karina gives Uber and me fifteen more minutes, she reenters the room and I use the pot :P for three more tinkles. When she smugly asks who won the second Origin, I snap, "Oh, shut up; the side that wins the first game has a 2/3 chance of winning the third." Then we both burst out laughing, after which I apologise for being rude. XD
  • We get me kitted and I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who's already squirted some toothpaste for me; Ela enjoys her second consecutive break~ Teeth brushed, I sit briefly over the toilet, coming out when I realise I feel like doing a stinky unspeakable.
  • Breakfast is two Weet-Bix with one thin stream of honey, one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast spread thinly with some avocado and sprinkled lightly with 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 once more over the loo. 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 the passenger seat of Karina's car and she tootles me off to my fortnightly shopping trip @ Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown, finding a sidepark along level two.
  • She grabs a trolley for us; I use the loo for one tinkle, grab the Feist book I've been reading these past few weeks/months, find a squashy pink/red/magenta sofa and happily read for about one hour, reaching pg. 222 @ 9:39am, reaching pg. 225 @ 9:45am and reaching pg. 250 @ 10:19am.
  • After posting an update onto Facebook, I visited the loo for one more tinkle and then we began grocery shopping @ Woolies! Caitlin wasn't working today, but when Karina was scanning our items @ the self-serve checkout, there was like an Indian woman with a little kid sitting in the trolley. When the kid started fussing, the mum opened a packet of like tiny teddy bikkies and gave her the packet. When the kid takes one out, I jokingly stretch out my hand for it; to my complete astonishment, the kid looks @ me and then extends her arm to gimme the bikkie! "Aww thanks sweetie but you have it!" I guide her hand back to her mouth. When she doesn't react, I mime eating the bikkie. She smiles and takes a little nibble; when I cheer and mime taking a bigger mouthful, she smiles sweetly and pops the whole bikkie into her mouth. After her mum has finished taking their groceries through the self-serve checkout and turns to leave, I stop her gently with my arm and say your daughter will be too young to remember her kind act but she offered me her bikkie! Although of course I didn't take it and told her to eat it instead; she's such a sweetheart to share her food with a stranger. The Indian mum laughs and reassures me that she's not that sweet when sharing her food with her sister! XD
  • Our last stop before leaving was upstairs to Coles for more groceries, before Karina tootles us off to Warrigal Square for lunch with Pole! Just as she turns into Warrigal Rd, Pole Whatsapps me saying she's just arrived; I reply back we're nearly here too! Unfortunately all the disabled parks are taken, meaning Karina parks outside the Post Office and I hike all the way to Woka Warrigal but aww, isn't Karina a sweetheart? When she sees someone vacating the disabled parking spot directly outside Woka, she moves her car closer for me~
  • Pole gets Hokkien fried rice with a Coke Ribena, I get the baked fish fillet rice with a HK-style milk tea and Karina gets sweet and sour pork with not one, but two Cokes!
  • Over lunch, we just chat. Pole says Ping Yee's looking after Ezra today but Zebby's attending some LEGO engineering class! She had to leave early today because she had some training @ work, learning how to use some new bed; the bed has like attachments!
  • While Karina's tootling me home, her mobile suddenly rings. She's got it mounted just above the handbrake; I glance @ it and say to her, "Someone called John Mark's calling you. Would you like me to answer for you?" Karina laughs and says nah; she then adds that's my partner and I've told him before NOT to ring me until I've finished work and this morning I TOLD him I'd not finish until 3:30! I laugh and say you can ring him once you get me home while I'm ringing dad.
  • Back home, we both ring away, before Karina unlocks the door, I turn off the alarm and take a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who rinses out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
  • I have one tinkle before Karina flips the nice - bbl!
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
  • Back home, I turn off the alarm and take a
    Cheers,
    Em. ^^
