good evening!
TWFT topic was "today, encourage someone!' and em was hard at work plodding 2629 steps today. anyways, what happened?
-PIG mum dug em up. she used the pot :p got kitted, before PIG mum made(PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the gobbling table. without sticky. no walkbelt, either. :(
-breakfast was a mug of warm milo and a crunchy apricot museli bar. of course, PIG mum had to force my poor left hand to hold onto it as my right hand did the unwrapping.
-time to go to your :P turn, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the 4WD, also forcing me to buckle my own seatbelt. off she tootled us off to my turn, listening to jacky cheung (and that's who we listened to all day, so i won't mention that again)
-PIG mum gleefully forced (3rd time) me to walk in, and the upper limb group soon started.
-i met a new girl, bridgette (sp?). PIG mum thinks she's younger than me, and the poor thing is in a wheelchair permanently. she said that at first, the doctors thought it was only a sinus problem? but then obviously, sth must've gone wrong.
-i also met an elderly lady, joy, and a gentleman whom i've forgotten the name of, sorry. but they both suffered strokes.
-PIG mum took me to the loo twice during the session, and i did tons of left hand exercises - mainly theraplaydough, but also some stretching. did you know, that yellow's not actually the softest colour and that blue's not actually the darkest colour? the softest colour is actually beige (lol, i don't even know what that colour is) and the darkest colour is actually black.
-yummy morning tea! white and 2 for me, plus 4 cream bikkies. i feel naughty now ... :p oink, oink. :P
-PIG mum tootled us home. she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED vy PIG mum. ><) me walk in. i rang dearest dad, who said he was at keppara (sp?) and would be heading to everton park soon.
-lunch was a yummy beef, vegetables and pasta chunky soup, with two slices of bread that i buttered myself. of course, PIG mum wasn't happy until she got to force my poor left hand to hang onto the plate as i buttered. oh well.
-i read yesterday's paper for awhile, until ding dong! vincent arrived!
-this time, he did some sort of physical asessment on me. so i bent and straightened both arms, legs, etc. he also got me up and Forced me to stagger/hobble/limp a bit around the house. i even stood up and kicked a ball a few times!
-he Forced me to walk to the piano, and as promised, played a hans zimmer piece from the last samurai for me! i showed him what my left hand could do, thunking out twinkle twinkle once, and demonstrated to him that i really did have perfect pitch. wonder why he kept playing A flat for me to guess though ... dunno.
-some visitors from CODA came as he was arranging when to come see me next. he told me that if i kept practising the two exercises he left me, he'd play me another hans zimmer piece! wonder what other movies he scored ... i'll have to wiki him up when i get the time.
-it was evelyn (who's moved up into the office now? wonder what she's doing in terms of caring ...) and two other ladies, whom i've forgotten the names of, sorry. we had a short yak, then ding dong! chrissy, my carer for today, arrived!
-so she Forced me to walk to the laundry for my shower. PIG mum was a great big meaniepoo >< and forced me to undress all of me. oh well.
-but a nice hot shower - hairwash today. i drip dried, got creamed, rekitted. chrissy forced me to put my own tee and pyjama top on, then she got the rest of me kitted. Forced to walk back out to the gobbling table without sticky. ><
-arvo tea: a cup of water-tea (chrissy said only one teaspoon of sugar, and PIG mum refused to give me one more teaspoon when i asked her. ><) and 2 slices of raisin (sp?) toast with a slice of cheese in between! i've never tried that before; 'twas quite yummy indeed!
-i read the paper for awhile; chrissy forced me on approx. 20 mins of left arm exercises. just the theraplaydough :p today, and randomly waving my dumb/sick/crazy :P left arm around.
-chrissy Forced me to walk over for piano practise. so my right hand supported my left in thunking out twinkle twinkle ten times, then played all the scales, the christmas carols, and other random songs.
-at 6pm, chrissy Forced me to walk back to my TV chair, and we watched seven's news, read out by rod young and kay mcgrath, sport by shane webcke and weather by john schluter. i think brisbane's temperature will be 12 - 24 degrees toms.
-i asked at 6:30 if chrissy could please ask PIG mum for me whether i could pop online after going to the bathroom; PIG mum was a great big fat meaniepoo again and refused. so i watched today tonight until 6:45pm.
-chrissy Forced me to walk to the loo, Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but kindly helped me dry it, thanks - and Forced me to walk back to my computer chair.
-i signed her off using my cool new giant pokemon pen! think she'll be back on saturday?
-after she left, PIG mum took poor em on a forced march upstairs. i flopped down on the parent's bed, as did PIG mum, who'd brought ashton to visit me! so i gave him a great big cuddle and he snuffled up to me. :)
-dearest dad came home too, and joined PIG mum and i in flopping down on the big bed. PIG mum tells me that, before i was sick, i used to snuggle up between the parents in their bed. sorry, but i can't remember that. :(
-PIG mum took me once to the loo before she THREW (ouch! again, just kidding. :P) me down the stairs.
-she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me to walk over to that 'footstool' :p where she promptly forced poor em on 20+ mins of hand exercises. when dear dad called dinnertime, she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the gobbling :P table.
-dinner: rice tonight, with lotsa normal lettuce, some yummy egg and tomato, plus a few chunks of beef. of course, PIG mum had to force my poor left hand to hang onto the bowl as iate. oh well, i'd already given my poor left thumb 4 hours of respite when chrissy was here, i can wait till 3pm toms to do it again. dinner was washed down with a yummy mug of fruit and vegie juice (as disgusting as that sounds, it's actually quite yummy!) of course, i was very careful to hold it 'correctly'. again, i can wait till 3pm toms to have a chance at holding it 'incorrectly'.
-phew, i finished! so i'll just check, then let PIG mum boot me to bed. toms should be interesting! in the morning, we're going to UQ for physio, then at 2pm, we'll be going to see tamara, a psychologist? can't quite remember why i need to see a shrink ... oh, thanks to PIG mum who reminded me that it's because i'm scared sh*tless of falling whenever i walk. >< well, i'm just glad that PIG mum thinks i'm not psychotic! :P and, karen's taking me out to garbo toms night! cool! PIG mum says i'm not allowed to borrow any books :( coz i haveta read my book club book, but oh well. i'm sure there's still heaps we can do! hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. just a reminder, toms/friday/whenever, i'm owed - lol, dunno how much time i'm owed, but i promise to get back EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF IT!
P.P.S. i found and corrected 4 errors in my post tonight.

tuesday post
good evening! TWFT topic is 'it is well with my soul' and em was hard at work plodding 7209 steps today. anyways, i don't really remember what time i came online, but it was like after 9:30, so PIG mum said she'd only allow me to stay online for one hour, meaning toms, i'm owed THREE hours. i'll make sure i'll get that back, never you fear! so, an extremely condensed version of what happened today:
-dug up. breakfast was a mug of warm milo and a crunchy choc chip museli bar. of course, PIG mum had to force my poor left hand to hang onto the museli bar while my right hand unwrapped it. oh well. that's why i'm giving it some love right now, before PIG mum sticks that terribly annoying splint on it tonight. personally, i've just happy/thankful that my stupid fingers don't all spasm out anymore! well, my pointer does still, sometimes, but not the rest of them.
-PIG mum tootled us off to the PA for physio. it was good to see dom dom back! she said claire had learned to say 'nan nan nan'. hehe, claire's initials are CD, her hubby's are ID, but she's rather boring. don't think DD stands for anything. :p
-physio was just walking around a bit and lotsa sit-to-stand work. a physio asisstant named michael calebretta (sp?) came to help me out. and this lady from france/canada came with morning tea!
-PIG mum fed me half a chicken and cheese sandwhich - she had ham, cheese and tomato, i think - then tootled us off to centrelink for my JCA. she gleefully FORCED :(first time) me to walk in.
-an indian lady called miriam met us. she did my JCA. i told her about myself, answered questions, etc. actually, i poked my tongue out at the security camera, too. :p hope no one will take offence! :P
-i rang dearest dad as we left. "hello, PIG mum!" was his cheerful pick-up to the phone. needless to say, i laughed my head off. :P PIG mum was most definitely NOT amused, and threatened us poor two chans with disembowelment (sp?) o_O:P
-PIG mum drove us to browns plains to see the behavioural optometrist. she FORCED :(second first) me to walk in.
-so i'm gonna be perfectly well behaved once she twiddles around with my glasses! (yeah, sure, sure. pigs'll fly and the moon will turn blue, first :P)
-the behavioural optom's name was lesley vedalgo(sp?). she gave me an eye test, Forced me to walk a lap or two with 6 eyes (my eyes, my glasses, and the special lenses she stuck on). apparently, they help me automatically weight shift to the left, or sth? dunno. but she says she's gonna put 'yolk' on them! my only guess is that maybe she will crack an egg or two on my glasses? so, when you see me limping/staggering/hobbling around with egg yolk dripping from my glasses, you'll know why. :P no, PIG mum actually tells me it's "yolk prisms" not "egg yolk."
-PIG mum took me to the loo once before we left. perhaps the receptionist lady gave us the wrong directions? coz instead of turning left then left, i walked and rounded THREE corners before i made it to the loo! ><
-but CODA rang as we were leaving. "sorry mrs. chan, no one's available. we haven't found anyone for toms yet, either." >< toms, i think i'll haveta send an email to mariana and complain. ><"
-i asked PIG mum where she'd like to go for lunch, at 2:45pm! :P she chose cafe mi, coz by that time, there should be parking downstairs.
-there was, but she chose not to park there coz "i'm crap at parking." so she parked further away, and happily made poor em to walk more. >< oh well. i'll survive.
-we sat down at cafe mi. we ordered a chicken chop with spaghetti and a pork chop with udon. yummy! then we shared a cold milk tea and a cold horlicks.
-as we left, i bid a happy hello to mr. kebab guy (lol, that's what i honestly call him; you reckon i should ask him for his name next time i see him? :P); PIG mum said next time/sometime soon, we prolly should go buy one off him. PIG mum tells me that once, when she went to buy me a kebab for lunch, he was super-nice and asked her, "how's your daughter doing?" guess he remembers when i used to buy a kebab off him every alternative week. i mean, nowadays, i still would, if i could get a two piece feed every other sunday! the only reason i ask for it week after week is because i never get it! >< i can try on thursdays too, i guess, but recently, PIG mum's being saying, "emily can only eat (this, this or that) for dinner. oh well.
-once we were home, PIG mum booted me to bed. i thought i wasn't tired or anything, but still managed to fall asleep pretty quickly. i used the pot :P once, and asked PIG mum to please wake me up in ten to watch the news. should i really be surprised that she didn't? well, her excuse was because she fell asleep too. yeah, sure, whatever. hmm ... does my new pokemon clock or the new one aunty vicky brought for us have an alarm? must learn to set it!
-i kept snoring my head off. i heard the garage door go up, meaning dear dad was home, except i kept snoring. PIG mum came in once to empty the pot :p and re-arrange my kicked blankets; when i counted up to 4000 i used the pot once more then called her.
-dinner was 5 yummy boiled dumplings from aunty irene. thanks to mum for a tiny wee plate of soya sauce to mop up with my dumplings. no thanks to her though, for forcing my poor left hand to hang onto the bowl as i ate. oh well, i've explained to it that i don't wanna choke trying to eat as fast as i can, it understands. my smart dumb/sick/crazy left hand. :P
-i had to bend awkwardly to flick on the computer switch before i could tootle online.
-yippee, i finished! toms should be good - aunty wendy's coming toms, i think? and that human movement guy is coming in the arvo with some other guy. fingers crossed they won't force me to walk too much! but because they're coming, i'm let off a torture session with vincent the physio. :p believe me, i'm incredibly relieved/grateful/thankful. honestly!
-toms, also gotta remind PIG mum to ring anna and see if we can go for lunch at the glen hotel! hopefully, third time walking into the day hospital without sticky did it!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 2 errors in my post tonight. and PIG mum snipped off my left hand fingernails. sheesh, i don't mean all of them! :P just that they were getting long :P oh, should prolly mention too that i chewed my right hand fingernails 4 or 5 days ago.
-dug up. breakfast was a mug of warm milo and a crunchy choc chip museli bar. of course, PIG mum had to force my poor left hand to hang onto the museli bar while my right hand unwrapped it. oh well. that's why i'm giving it some love right now, before PIG mum sticks that terribly annoying splint on it tonight. personally, i've just happy/thankful that my stupid fingers don't all spasm out anymore! well, my pointer does still, sometimes, but not the rest of them.

monday post
good evening! TWFT topic was information overload (2) and including hydro, em was hard at work plodding 3377 steps today. righteo, what happened today?
-dearest dad got himself up for work. em swung herself around to use the pot :P once, then cuddled her darling bear bear and sang/counted herself back into some heavy-duty snoring. :P
-PIG mum gave em ten more mins snooze time. i used the pot :P once more then got kitted. PIG mum made?(PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the dining table. ah, but i do really miss the days when she would've simply given me a museli bar and a mug of warm milo, then we'd just head out straight to the car. but *sigh* no, now it seems that she somehow derives FAR GREATER PLEASURE in forcing her poor daughter to walk more. oh well, it's enough that she's happy. :( never mind (is that actually one word, does anyone know? never mind or nevermind?), i'll survive. (i hope! :P)
-so breakfast was a mug of warm milo and a slice of toast, which i spread with butter and strawberry jam myself. yummy. of course, PIG mum wasn't happy until she got to force my poor left hand to hang onto the plate as i spread. oh well. :(
-time to go,PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car. after forcing me to buckle my own seatbelt, off she tootled us off to UQ for physio, listening to that CD miss amies gave me when i was in ICU, grace. it's actually of her playing the harp! but it's a very short CD, no more than 7 songs to it, if i remember correctly.
-luckily we found a park there. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk in, up and all the way into the loo, of course forcing me to dak myself. then she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry both hands, before she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the waiting area.
-she flounced off to pay. ben came for me, explaining that he had a bung ... spleen, i think it was? poor man. he lent me the walking pole :p then Forced me to walk in.
-he stuck my dumb/sick/crazy :P left hand into that failed splint. he swears that the smiley face erin stuck on it turns into a sad face whenever i'm not here! :p sure, sure. :P
-joe came along too, and mostly i did lotsa sit-to-stand exercises, like, 30+! catherine/katherine popped by as well as i did some weight shifting exercises (all to the left, of course - heaven forbid if i were ever to try weightshifting to the right! :P)
-ben Forced me to walk out, and PIG mum tootled us home, of course forcing me to buckle my own seatbelt and snapping a no to all my polite lunch requests. oh well, that was expected. i'll try again on thursday. but thanks to PIG mum who pulled up at the newsagency (are they called newsagents or newsagency, anyone know?) and bought me the days paper. oh, and we listened to the pokemon soundtrack on the way home. it's so cute!!
-i needed to pee when we arrived home. >< so PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk in. no guesses as to who forced who to do all the dakking and un-dakking. then she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, before she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the gobbling :P table.
-lunch was 3 yummy fish cocktails and 1 little, yummy chunk of crumbed chicken fillet, with a squirt of mayo. much thanks to PIG mum who mixed me a yummy chocolate nesquik. and dearest dad came home too!
-after lunch, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over and forced me to bend awkwardly to flick on the computer switch, before she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the computer table, where again i had to bend awkwardly to flick on the remaining three switches. then i tootled online for roughly an hour, until ding dong! cherame ?(with an ever-growing belly full of baby) arrived!
-she Forced me to walk to my kitchen chair for afternoon tea. but thanks to her and/or PIG mum who gave me the perfect arvo tea! a toasted cheese - yup, 2 slices! - ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into 4 squares. and a cup of tea, sweetened with some sugar.
-i read my book club novel for awhile, cherame let me have a feel of her tummy (baby faith/hope/grace hogan must've been sleeping, though, no movement) and she told me she's giving her two week's notice to work toms.
-cherame Forced me to walk to the bathroom to get kitted for hydro. i did one or two tinkles. then she Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but helped me dry it, thanks - and Forced me to walk to her car.
-off she tootled us off to hydro, listening to 104.5FM
-luckily, we found a park on arrival. cherame Forced me to walk all the way in. (i dunno why she refused to get out sparkless for me; i thought PIG mum had already put it in her boot?). the chair lift was in use when i arrived, so i took a seat, and when it became available, cherame Forced me to walk over to it.
-judith stuck my dumb/sick/crazy :P left ankle into KAB, and plopped me into the nice warm water.
-hydro today: walking forwards and sideways, squatting, left arm and left leg work, both legs work, and 2 of my favourite head dunks in the end. :P my bum's still too bouyant (sp?) to hit the floor, though! ><" :P
-i chose to walk out, then cherame wheeled me in for a nice warm, almost hot shower - obviously, hairwash today.
-i went for a tinkle afterwards, got dried, creamed, rekitted, went for one more tinkle. cherame handed me sticky and Forced me to walk back out to the car, and she tootled us back home.
-cherame Forced me to walk back inside. i read my book club novel for awhile, she kindly fed me a bowl of chippees and a mug of warm milo. at 6:30, she Forced me to walk over to my TV armchair, where i watched 15mins of some show on ABC as she kindly gave my dumb/sick/crazy :P left arm/hand a massage.
-at 6:45, she Forced me to walk to the loo, Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but kindly helped me dry it, thanks - and Forced me to walk back to my dining room chair.
-PIG mum forced poor em on 5+ mins of theraband exercises. after cherame left, she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) em walk over to that backless, armless thing (PIG mum informs me that it's actually called a 'footstool'. yeah, sure, if i've got size 52 feet. :P) and forced poor em on 35+ mins of left hand/arm exercises. we listened to the ABC news. then, after dearest dad returned home, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the gobbling :P table for dinner.
-rice tonight, with lotsa cos lettuce, some chunks of beef, and a little bit of yummy egg and tomato. dinner was washed down with a cup of yummy fruit and vege juice, which i was extremely careful to hold 'correctly'. actually, i used the chopsticks to pick up an extra little chunk of yummy egg as PIG mum kindly poured me some juice.
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over where she forced me to bend awkwardly to flick on the computer switch, then she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the computer desk, where i tootled online.
-phew, i finished! but i've got a busy day toms: physio at the PA at 9am - dom dom's back, yay! and hope someone comes with morning tea! then i've gotta go to centrelink in upper mt gravatt for a job capacity asessment - hope that goes well especially! i'd like to start earning an income again, no matter how small - then finally, an oppointment at the behavioural (sp?) optom this arvo at 1:30pm. apparently, they put sth into your lenses that makes you better-behaved. :p nah, just kidding. dunno really what they do ... will find out toms, i'm sure. anyways, will quickly check, then allow PIG mum to boot me to bed. cya!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 2 errors in my post tonight.

GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the dining table. ah, but i do really miss the days when she would've simply given me a museli bar and a mug of warm milo, then we'd just head out straight to the car. but *sigh* no, now it seems that she somehow derives FAR GREATER PLEASURE in forcing her poor daughter to walk more. oh well, it's enough that she's happy. :( never mind (is that actually one word, does anyone know? never mind or nevermind?), i'll survive. (i hope! :P)
-so breakfast was a mug of warm milo and a slice of toast, which i spread with butter and strawberry jam myself. yummy. of course, PIG mum wasn't happy until she got to force my poor left hand to hang onto the plate as i spread. oh well. :(
-time to go,PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car. after forcing me to buckle my own seatbelt, off she tootled us off to UQ for physio, listening to that CD miss amies gave me when i was in ICU, grace. it's actually of her playing the harp! but it's a very short CD, no more than 7 songs to it, if i remember correctly.
-luckily we found a park there. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk in, up and all the way into the loo, of course forcing me to dak myself. then she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry both hands, before she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the waiting area.
-she flounced off to pay. ben came for me, explaining that he had a bung ... spleen, i think it was? poor man. he lent me the walking pole :p then Forced me to walk in.
-he stuck my dumb/sick/crazy :P left hand into that failed splint. he swears that the smiley face erin stuck on it turns into a sad face whenever i'm not here! :p sure, sure. :P
-joe came along too, and mostly i did lotsa sit-to-stand exercises, like, 30+! catherine/katherine popped by as well as i did some weight shifting exercises (all to the left, of course - heaven forbid if i were ever to try weightshifting to the right! :P)
-ben Forced me to walk out, and PIG mum tootled us home, of course forcing me to buckle my own seatbelt and snapping a no to all my polite lunch requests. oh well, that was expected. i'll try again on thursday. but thanks to PIG mum who pulled up at the newsagency (are they called newsagents or newsagency, anyone know?) and bought me the days paper. oh, and we listened to the pokemon soundtrack on the way home. it's so cute!!
-i needed to pee when we arrived home. >< so PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk in. no guesses as to who forced who to do all the dakking and un-dakking. then she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, before she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the gobbling :P table.
-lunch was 3 yummy fish cocktails and 1 little, yummy chunk of crumbed chicken fillet, with a squirt of mayo. much thanks to PIG mum who mixed me a yummy chocolate nesquik. and dearest dad came home too!
-after lunch, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over and forced me to bend awkwardly to flick on the computer switch, before she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the computer table, where again i had to bend awkwardly to flick on the remaining three switches. then i tootled online for roughly an hour, until ding dong! cherame ?(with an ever-growing belly full of baby) arrived!
-she Forced me to walk to my kitchen chair for afternoon tea. but thanks to her and/or PIG mum who gave me the perfect arvo tea! a toasted cheese - yup, 2 slices! - ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into 4 squares. and a cup of tea, sweetened with some sugar.
-i read my book club novel for awhile, cherame let me have a feel of her tummy (baby faith/hope/grace hogan must've been sleeping, though, no movement) and she told me she's giving her two week's notice to work toms.
-cherame Forced me to walk to the bathroom to get kitted for hydro. i did one or two tinkles. then she Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but helped me dry it, thanks - and Forced me to walk to her car.
-off she tootled us off to hydro, listening to 104.5FM
-luckily, we found a park on arrival. cherame Forced me to walk all the way in. (i dunno why she refused to get out sparkless for me; i thought PIG mum had already put it in her boot?). the chair lift was in use when i arrived, so i took a seat, and when it became available, cherame Forced me to walk over to it.
-judith stuck my dumb/sick/crazy :P left ankle into KAB, and plopped me into the nice warm water.
-hydro today: walking forwards and sideways, squatting, left arm and left leg work, both legs work, and 2 of my favourite head dunks in the end. :P my bum's still too bouyant (sp?) to hit the floor, though! ><" :P
-i chose to walk out, then cherame wheeled me in for a nice warm, almost hot shower - obviously, hairwash today.
-i went for a tinkle afterwards, got dried, creamed, rekitted, went for one more tinkle. cherame handed me sticky and Forced me to walk back out to the car, and she tootled us back home.
-cherame Forced me to walk back inside. i read my book club novel for awhile, she kindly fed me a bowl of chippees and a mug of warm milo. at 6:30, she Forced me to walk over to my TV armchair, where i watched 15mins of some show on ABC as she kindly gave my dumb/sick/crazy :P left arm/hand a massage.
-at 6:45, she Forced me to walk to the loo, Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but kindly helped me dry it, thanks - and Forced me to walk back to my dining room chair.
-PIG mum forced poor em on 5+ mins of theraband exercises. after cherame left, she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) em walk over to that backless, armless thing (PIG mum informs me that it's actually called a 'footstool'. yeah, sure, if i've got size 52 feet. :P) and forced poor em on 35+ mins of left hand/arm exercises. we listened to the ABC news. then, after dearest dad returned home, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the gobbling :P table for dinner.
-rice tonight, with lotsa cos lettuce, some chunks of beef, and a little bit of yummy egg and tomato. dinner was washed down with a cup of yummy fruit and vege juice, which i was extremely careful to hold 'correctly'. actually, i used the chopsticks to pick up an extra little chunk of yummy egg as PIG mum kindly poured me some juice.
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over where she forced me to bend awkwardly to flick on the computer switch, then she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of saturday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the computer desk, where i tootled online.
-phew, i finished! but i've got a busy day toms: physio at the PA at 9am - dom dom's back, yay! and hope someone comes with morning tea! then i've gotta go to centrelink in upper mt gravatt for a job capacity asessment - hope that goes well especially! i'd like to start earning an income again, no matter how small - then finally, an oppointment at the behavioural (sp?) optom this arvo at 1:30pm. apparently, they put sth into your lenses that makes you better-behaved. :p nah, just kidding. dunno really what they do ... will find out toms, i'm sure. anyways, will quickly check, then allow PIG mum to boot me to bed. cya!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 2 errors in my post tonight.

saturday post
good evening! TWFT topic was god's incredible love for us, and em was hard at work plodding 3987 steps today. anyways, here's what i type every thursday but hasn't been given enough time till noe:
-whenever i had to walk, i'd type that PIG mum FORCED :( me to. when she banned me from using all capitals, i used the word Forced until she somehow decided that the entire word was somehow insulting to her poor, sensitive ears :P and banned it entirely. so i switched to the word contort, except it wasn't long until PIG mum decided that this word was offensive to her also, and banned it, saying that henceforth, i was only allowed to use the word made. anyways, i had no choice but to comply, and i used the word MADE until PIG mum stepped in and demanded that it ALL be in lowercase. so i had to comply again, although i wrote that PIG mum 'gleefully' made me walk. that was until charlsy left me a comment on this blog, saying that i was only to use the word made without any words before or after it. dunno why i listen to him; after all, it's MY blog, but i guess i do coz i have heaps and heaps of respect for him as a friend. and, about last night:
1. PIG mum made(PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk from the computer desk to the kitchen benchtop to drink my nightly half-cuppa of milk. i also called a goodnight to dearest dad, but he was too immersed in pig land to hear me. :P
2. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the bathroom for my nightly routine.
3. em was forced to stand for her nightly routine. PIG mum made her poor left hand hold the toothbrush before my right hand squirted out the toothpaste, instead of letting me do it the way i did EVEN BEFORE I GOT SICK: ie balance the toothbrush on the cup and squirt out the toothpaste that way. PIG mum also forced my poor left hand to do the three after-brush rinses with my right hand.
4. after flossing (apparently, it is some HUGE UNFORGIVEABLE SIN to not look up into the mirror when you are flossing. don't really know why, but no biggie)and washing both hands, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the toilet.
5. PIG mum forced me to dak myself for a tinkle or two.
6. PIG mum forced me to yank my trousers back up afterwards.
7. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to flush the toilet. then, hanging on to the towel rack, i awkwardly moved myself around to wash and dry my right hand.
8. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to bed. i honestly dunno, why she doesn't let me enter my bedroom, hold onto the bar that was put up by home mods specifically FOR THAT PURPOSE, and put myself in bed like that, but oh well. it seems that PIG mum somehow derives a greater pleasure from being able to force her poor daughter to walk a few more steps before awkwardly lowering myself down onto my comfy bed.
9. no pull-up pants. >< argh. at least it's been a dry week so far!
-last point: if i don't mention any of this until next thursday, it just means that each night was ALL the same as what i typed out today. >< righteo, what happened today?
-PIG mum dug herself up for work. em swung herself around to use the pot :P once, then cuddled her darling bear bear and sang counted herself back to sleep. zzz.
-ding dong! karol came! so after giving me ten more mins snooze time, she dug me up. she forced me to put on what i could do after a struggle, kindly helped me with the rest, then Forced me to walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth. i enjoyed my once-a-week ability to simply balance the toothbrush on the cup and simply squirt out the toothbrush that way. then, after washing and drying both hands, karol Forced me to walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-i said hello to dad's visitor, uncle tanny (i think that was his name).
-breakfast was a mug of warm milo and 2 slices of toast, which i buttered and jammed :P myself.
-i read my feist novel for awhile, karol kindly gave my dumb/sick/crazy :P left hand/arm a massage.
-before she left, karol Forced me to walk to the toilet. she kindly passed me a glass of water, so i did a stinky unspeakable, wiping myself too. karol came to get me, Forced me to walk over and wash both hands - but helped me dry my right one, thanks! - and Forced me to walk back to my dining chair.
-she rocked off; PIG mum came home from work.
-lunch was 4 yummy boiled dumplings, 2 normal ones from aunty irene, and 2 in wonton wrapping from aunty june wong, with half a smear of soya sauce. thanks to PIG mum who mixed me a yummy chocolate nesquik to wash lunch down with.
-i read my feist novel, until ding dong - vincent the physio came. >< first session: PT.
-he forced me to do head and neck exercises, right and left arm reachy exercises, stepping exercises, and Forced me on laps and laps of walking.
-i ended up in the laundry, awaiting my shower. but a rude shock - karol forced me to dak all of me! in the past, most carers bar evelyn were perfectly amenable to the 'i undress me from the top, if you'll start undressing me from the bottom' method, but karol explained that MEAN PIG mum had instructed her to force me to do it all. ><
-but a nice hot shower - hairwash today.
-i got dried, creamed, bandaged, rekitted. karol Forced me to walk out. ai, another one who refuses to let me hobble/stagger/limp along with sticky. i'll fall to my untimely end one day, you'll see, and then you'll be sorry. :(
-arvo tea: a yummy sausage bun and a cup of tea sweetened with 2 teaspoonfuls of sugar.
-i finished my feist novel! and started reading my novel for next month's book club, blue ribbons butter bread. it's an autobiography on some famous (long deceased) australian women.
-karol interrupted my reading to force me on approx. 20 mins of left arm exercises, the therabands and the squeezy balls.
-karol Forced me to walk over to practise piano. so my right hand supported my dumb/sick/crazy :P left hand in thunking out twinkle twinkle approx. 5x, then played all the scales, christmas carols, and random song requests from karol.she likes the lion king, BTW.
-karol Forced me to walk back to my TV chair, fed me a small but yummy bowl of BBQ (i guess the chicken ones are finished?) chippies and a mug of warm nesquik. an important point to notice: she offered, i didn't ask. see, i remember PIG mum's absurd rule that if i have a milky drink around 6pm, i only get water with my dinner, not juice.
-karol and i played wii tennis together. i beat her 2-0.
-we watched madagascar until 6:45. karol Forced me to walk to the loo, Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but kindly helped me dry it, thanks - and Forced me to walk back to my TV chair.
-but i never got there, coz PIG mum intercepted her, and instead took poor em on a forced march up the stairs and back down, where i had to sit on that backless and armless long stool thing (lol, PIG mum just told me to name the thing; so, in canto, it's now called 'ugly pig' :P.) as PIG mum forced em on a few plus mins of those left ankle exercises dom dom taught her to do (but the amount of huffing and puffing she makes each time i do those dreaded exercises makes me wonder: i mean, hello! i'm the one doing the exercises, not you! but PIG mum snaps that she has to exert strength also. whatever. fair enough. then she forced poor em on 25+ mins of arm exercises. at least i remember that my left thumb has to be ontop (is that one word or two? lol, i dunno. :P). finally, she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the gobbling :P table for dinner, which was 5 yummy dumplings from aunty june and aunty irene. thanks to PIG mum for a drop of soya sauce for my dumplings. dinner was washed down with a yummy mug of fruit and vegie juice, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'. i mean, i was already very lucky to be able to hold three cups 'incorrectly' today! the breakfast cup, the arvo tea cup, and the 6pm cup!
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over and forced me to bend awkwardly to flick on the computer switch, before she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the computer chair.
-after bending awkwardly to flick on the remaining switches, i tootled online.
-yay, i finished! so i'll just check. won't be seeing peoples at church toms, coz B1's getting baptised! and i'm going to SDBC to see! i'm not sure what happens afterwards or what lunch plans will be, but i hope i get some yummy lunch! fingers crossed, anyways!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. yay! i spoke to dearest grandma tonight! and she prayed with me, too. :)
-whenever i had to walk, i'd type that PIG mum FORCED :( me to. when she banned me from using all capitals, i used the word Forced until she somehow decided that the entire word was somehow insulting to her poor, sensitive ears :P and banned it entirely. so i switched to the word contort, except it wasn't long until PIG mum decided that this word was offensive to her also, and banned it, saying that henceforth, i was only allowed to use the word made. anyways, i had no choice but to comply, and i used the word MADE until PIG mum stepped in and demanded that it ALL be in lowercase. so i had to comply again, although i wrote that PIG mum 'gleefully' made me walk. that was until charlsy left me a comment on this blog, saying that i was only to use the word made without any words before or after it. dunno why i listen to him; after all, it's MY blog, but i guess i do coz i have heaps and heaps of respect for him as a friend. and, about last night:
1. PIG mum made(PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk from the computer desk to the kitchen benchtop to drink my nightly half-cuppa of milk. i also called a goodnight to dearest dad, but he was too immersed in pig land to hear me. :P
2. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the bathroom for my nightly routine.
3. em was forced to stand for her nightly routine. PIG mum made her poor left hand hold the toothbrush before my right hand squirted out the toothpaste, instead of letting me do it the way i did EVEN BEFORE I GOT SICK: ie balance the toothbrush on the cup and squirt out the toothpaste that way. PIG mum also forced my poor left hand to do the three after-brush rinses with my right hand.
4. after flossing (apparently, it is some HUGE UNFORGIVEABLE SIN to not look up into the mirror when you are flossing. don't really know why, but no biggie)and washing both hands, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the toilet.
5. PIG mum forced me to dak myself for a tinkle or two.
6. PIG mum forced me to yank my trousers back up afterwards.
7. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to flush the toilet. then, hanging on to the towel rack, i awkwardly moved myself around to wash and dry my right hand.
8. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to bed. i honestly dunno, why she doesn't let me enter my bedroom, hold onto the bar that was put up by home mods specifically FOR THAT PURPOSE, and put myself in bed like that, but oh well. it seems that PIG mum somehow derives a greater pleasure from being able to force her poor daughter to walk a few more steps before awkwardly lowering myself down onto my comfy bed.
9. no pull-up pants. >< argh. at least it's been a dry week so far!
-last point: if i don't mention any of this until next thursday, it just means that each night was ALL the same as what i typed out today. >< righteo, what happened today?
-PIG mum dug herself up for work. em swung herself around to use the pot :P once, then cuddled her darling bear bear and sang counted herself back to sleep. zzz.
-ding dong! karol came! so after giving me ten more mins snooze time, she dug me up. she forced me to put on what i could do after a struggle, kindly helped me with the rest, then Forced me to walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth. i enjoyed my once-a-week ability to simply balance the toothbrush on the cup and simply squirt out the toothbrush that way. then, after washing and drying both hands, karol Forced me to walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-i said hello to dad's visitor, uncle tanny (i think that was his name).
-breakfast was a mug of warm milo and 2 slices of toast, which i buttered and jammed :P myself.
-i read my feist novel for awhile, karol kindly gave my dumb/sick/crazy :P left hand/arm a massage.
-before she left, karol Forced me to walk to the toilet. she kindly passed me a glass of water, so i did a stinky unspeakable, wiping myself too. karol came to get me, Forced me to walk over and wash both hands - but helped me dry my right one, thanks! - and Forced me to walk back to my dining chair.
-she rocked off; PIG mum came home from work.
-lunch was 4 yummy boiled dumplings, 2 normal ones from aunty irene, and 2 in wonton wrapping from aunty june wong, with half a smear of soya sauce. thanks to PIG mum who mixed me a yummy chocolate nesquik to wash lunch down with.
-i read my feist novel, until ding dong - vincent the physio came. >< first session: PT.
-he forced me to do head and neck exercises, right and left arm reachy exercises, stepping exercises, and Forced me on laps and laps of walking.
-i ended up in the laundry, awaiting my shower. but a rude shock - karol forced me to dak all of me! in the past, most carers bar evelyn were perfectly amenable to the 'i undress me from the top, if you'll start undressing me from the bottom' method, but karol explained that MEAN PIG mum had instructed her to force me to do it all. ><
-but a nice hot shower - hairwash today.
-i got dried, creamed, bandaged, rekitted. karol Forced me to walk out. ai, another one who refuses to let me hobble/stagger/limp along with sticky. i'll fall to my untimely end one day, you'll see, and then you'll be sorry. :(
-arvo tea: a yummy sausage bun and a cup of tea sweetened with 2 teaspoonfuls of sugar.
-i finished my feist novel! and started reading my novel for next month's book club, blue ribbons butter bread. it's an autobiography on some famous (long deceased) australian women.
-karol interrupted my reading to force me on approx. 20 mins of left arm exercises, the therabands and the squeezy balls.
-karol Forced me to walk over to practise piano. so my right hand supported my dumb/sick/crazy :P left hand in thunking out twinkle twinkle approx. 5x, then played all the scales, christmas carols, and random song requests from karol.she likes the lion king, BTW.
-karol Forced me to walk back to my TV chair, fed me a small but yummy bowl of BBQ (i guess the chicken ones are finished?) chippies and a mug of warm nesquik. an important point to notice: she offered, i didn't ask. see, i remember PIG mum's absurd rule that if i have a milky drink around 6pm, i only get water with my dinner, not juice.
-karol and i played wii tennis together. i beat her 2-0.
-we watched madagascar until 6:45. karol Forced me to walk to the loo, Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but kindly helped me dry it, thanks - and Forced me to walk back to my TV chair.
-but i never got there, coz PIG mum intercepted her, and instead took poor em on a forced march up the stairs and back down, where i had to sit on that backless and armless long stool thing (lol, PIG mum just told me to name the thing; so, in canto, it's now called 'ugly pig' :P.) as PIG mum forced em on a few plus mins of those left ankle exercises dom dom taught her to do (but the amount of huffing and puffing she makes each time i do those dreaded exercises makes me wonder: i mean, hello! i'm the one doing the exercises, not you! but PIG mum snaps that she has to exert strength also. whatever. fair enough. then she forced poor em on 25+ mins of arm exercises. at least i remember that my left thumb has to be ontop (is that one word or two? lol, i dunno. :P). finally, she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the gobbling :P table for dinner, which was 5 yummy dumplings from aunty june and aunty irene. thanks to PIG mum for a drop of soya sauce for my dumplings. dinner was washed down with a yummy mug of fruit and vegie juice, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'. i mean, i was already very lucky to be able to hold three cups 'incorrectly' today! the breakfast cup, the arvo tea cup, and the 6pm cup!
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over and forced me to bend awkwardly to flick on the computer switch, before she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the computer chair.
-after bending awkwardly to flick on the remaining switches, i tootled online.
-yay, i finished! so i'll just check. won't be seeing peoples at church toms, coz B1's getting baptised! and i'm going to SDBC to see! i'm not sure what happens afterwards or what lunch plans will be, but i hope i get some yummy lunch! fingers crossed, anyways!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. yay! i spoke to dearest grandma tonight! and she prayed with me, too. :)

friday post
eep, i swear i didn't touch ANYTHING, and my whole post vanished! ><
-anyways, i came back online at 3:30pm exactly, but since i know that pigs'll fly before PIG mum allows me to stay online till 5:30, em must again promise to note the time when she gets booted off the net, and on sunday, she will get back EVERY SINGLE MINUTE SHE'S OWED. righteo, quickly, what happened today?
-breakfast was a mug of warm milo and a crunchy choc chip museli bar.
-we went to your turn :P for the upper limb group. PIG mum gleefully forced (3rd time) to walk inside. so i did random left hand exercises. i saw a guy there who also goes to the NAB clinic; he shared with me a jellybean. :) i also met a lady called marion (not mcmahon, i checked :P) who suffers from MS.
-PIG mum took me to the loo once before she tootled us off to word, where she kindly picked up a card and pressie for B1, who's getting baptised on sunday!
-PIG mum tootled us home and i went to the loo.
-PIG mum tootled us off to plaza for lunch. as we were going in, i asked PIG mum to read me out the western and asian meals. the western one looked yummy, so i asked if we could please eat lunch there, but PIG mum snapped no; instead, she FORCED :(first time) me to walk to happy bowl.
-i got my favourite pork chop in tomato rice and drank a banana frappe; PIG mum got some spicy combination noodle? and a three-colour ice. annoying thing was, PIG mum spent the entire lunch break tearing/wrenching my poor left thumb out of it's loosely clenched fist.
-i was ready to head home after lunch, but no, PIG mum instead gleefully Forced (2nd time) to walk all the way to the newsagents to pick up the paper. on the walk back to the carpark, PIG mum bumped into two acquaintances, and promptly had a whinge about me. i just sat and took it. couldsn't be bothered trying to defend myself.
-once home, PIG mum made me walk in, bend awkwardly to flick on all the switches, before i could tootle online.
-aunty anne's just leaving, and karol's here also, so i'd better allow myself to be booted offline. hope to see most of yous at UF tonight!
-PIG mum is MEAN. >< i want a toastie for arvo tea; she refuses. i'll only get crackers. >< ah well, i'll survive. somehow, i always do.
-oh, almost forgot! TWFT topic is 'the ultimate source of wisdom', and em was hard at work plodding 3299 steps. lol, don't mind me if i can't be bothered to take one more step to make it 3300. :P
cheers,
em. ^^
