Thursday Post 374b

 Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for tonight! Firstly, Em's potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 1813 but secondly and way more importantly, I'm really still owed TWENTY-NINE MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Nine's) for the 103RD time!! Righteo, potential final, final events for tonight?

• At 7:20am, noisy PIG mum's daily a-THUMPING around upstairs awakes me for one more pot :P 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*
• Shortly afterwards, she lets herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo and then returns outside and awaits Karina's arrival @ 7:30am.
• Once Karina's inside the house, she knocks, bid me good morning, says hitting the snooze button for fifteen more minutes and wisely leaves when I nod Pearl @ her even though Pearl's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
• When Karina comes back, I use the pot :P oonce more for three tinkles, we get me kitted and then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Thanks to Karina who squirts some ttoothpaste for me.
•   Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out into the dining room with Karina, rousing @ her for not eating breakfast AGAIN. XD
• Breakfast is one bowl of plain porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast shredded into it, all my usual drugs :P and  one 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?? *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 backseat of Karina's car. Thanks to her who helps me buckle my own seatbelt (as she does all day) and then she tootles us  off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown for my fortnightly shopping trip!~
• OMG PIG mum really DOES lemme use Sparkless3 today!!! :D
• After using the disabled loo for one tinkle, @ the library I grab Phillipa Gregory's Tidelands and happily read for one hour, reaching page twenty-five @ 10:24am. Turns out the book title immediately appears on page two and again on page twenty-four! Actually, after leaving the toilet we passed by The Reject Shop and Tabitha was working today; she called out, "Oh no, what happened to you??" I called back, "Just jurt my foot but don't worry. Buying a card later, so see you in a bit!"After posting an update onto Facebook, I visit the ttoilet for one more tinkle before we duck into The Reject Shop, where I chose some good egg thank-you card for Mr. Jig-Air; he'll appreciate it! XD
• We begin shopping @ Woolies. I ask Karina didn't you say we could traverse every aisle so I can windowshop? She replies nah save the window shopping for when we head upstairs; Daiso and Best & Less are up there.
• Groceries from Woolies bought, our next stop is New York Baguette where I buy a custard bun for tomorrow's breakfast. I used to buy a sausage bun too but now that PIG mum's retired she doesn't need to nab @ least half my sausage bun anymore, so she  won't lemme buy one either. *sigh*
• Heading upstairs I begin window sh-opping! First we head into KMart and Karina finds me the soft toy section first. I find this little soft toy cube that I really like and he's only three bucks but e's got a crying face hence why I didn't buy him. XD
• Next we head into Daiso! Karina bumps into her colleague pushing her wheelchair-bound client around (she has a very  heavy-duty wheelchair) and while they chat I practise reading my katakana. XD
• Our last stop before lunch's Coles for more groceries.
• Shopping done, Karina tootles us off to  Ho Lin Wah for lunch and score, she finds a park free directly outside the restaurant!
• Why I'm impressed: when I ask the waitress does she speak Cantonese, she shakes her head no, and then just points @ the nearby waiter. He immediately says A meal's mapo tofu with rice and B meal's meft sauce with rice! This time I'm smarter and tell Karina it's with mincemeat and we both get the B meal, me with a cold HK-style milk tea and her with two Cokes. Over lunch we're both anti-social and play with our mobiles rather than talking, but Era's mad with Ela coz when I was down to the last mouthful of my HK-style milk tea, Ela randomly came onto the table and knocked the cup clean off the table, spilling it! I immediately wave over a waiter and apologise profusely; Karina dries my shoe that got tea and ice over it and Era smacks Ela for being such an idiot and spoiling my last mouthful of HK-style milk tea.
• Back home, I take a nice hot shower -  hairwash today. Also thanks to Karina who rinsed out my hair for me, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• Dried, creamed and rekitted, I pop online while Karina returns to clean the bathroom. After she's done that, it's time to sign her off with my thanks and byes. She's back same time next Thursday.
• Good timing - PIG mum gets home from swimming when Karina leaves!
• PIG mum heads upstairs and showers before feeding me arvo tea: one banana, two MSG crackers and one mug of delicious Chinese tea.
• Before returning online I visit the loo once. 
• Toms: think Peggy's minding me 9-2. Have got NAB physio for two hours but dunno what I'm doing coz I already hiked the Great Court yesterday and the physios tested Elf.
• Don't have any plans after Peggy leaves since Tiff's otherwise engaged and can't come for cooking. Looking forward to spending my most important two hours of the day online, reading for one hour and watching the 6 - bbl, dinnertime!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
