Thursday Post 292b

Heylo again, good evening and potentially one final greeting for Thursday! Em’s potential final, final plodding total for Thursday now stands @ 2504.Ha, I’m just over 2.5 grand. XD Righteo, potential final, final events for Thursday?

• Yay, 2^nd consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn’t call until 6:20am, and after one pot :P trip I immediately went back to sleep, because I hoped to wake and use the pot :P once more before PIG mum came and hit me with the eye goo @ 7:30am!

The most annoying sound in the world: the default alarm clock sound that goes ‘doot doot’! the first ‘doot doot’ sound always wakes me, and then I’ve gotta put up with that blasted beeping for one whole minute before it realizes PIG mum isn’t gonna come downstairs and shuts himself up! XD After another pot :P trip, I spend the fifteen minutes until 7:30am 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*

• But because Kim doesn’t come to help me up until 8am, I actually fall back asleep until she raps our door! Like last time, she doesn’t bother bidding me good morning like Besta does, but I know to give myself fifteen more minutes.
• Sure enough, fifteen minutes later, Kim enters my room, says good morning and get up. She gets me kitted then I head over to the bathroom and brush teeth. Ela rejoices that she gets an extra break from having to hold the toothbrush today~

Teeth brushed, I sit over the loo for two tinkles, also fully leaning against the side rail and 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 washing and drying Era, I walk myself slowly and safely out to the gobbling :P table for breakfast, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting Him push me over.

Yeah, PIG mum has decided it’s finally hot enough to start eating Weet-Bix again! Just two for me, and without honey of course. I also pop all my usual drugs. :P Thanks muchly to Kim who turned on Sunrise for me! Over breakfast, I also spend ten minutes 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!

• Come 9am, I get into the Camry and Kim tootles me off to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown for my fortnightly shopping trip!
• We find parking outside the library, and after one loo trip, I grab Lian Hearn’s Lord of the Darkwood and happily read for about one hour, reaching pg. 250 @ 9;51am and pg. 275 @ 10:32.
• After one more loo trip, Kim and I start shopping!
• First, we buy raisin toast for dearest dad @ Aldi.
• Next, we buy groceries from Woolies. Lol, Caitlin, that twenty-five year old checkout chic? When Kim and I entered the self-serve checkouts, she greeted me brightly, “Hi, Jess!” I grinned and waved back, before replying cheekily, “BTW, I’m Emily. But I’ll respond to anything bar Late For Dinner” XD
• Afterwards, we headed upstairs and bought groceries from Coles. Alas that kim’s that much taller than me! She walks much faster, and when I deliberately hold the trolley back coz I can’t keep pace with her, she grouses that I’m hurting her back.
• Then we head over to meet Hello Kitty! We pose for photos, and I finally get to ask her my burning question that I’ve always wondered: “If you don’t have a mouth, how can you eat?” In response, Hello Kitty grabs Era and raises her to my lips; she too raises her pointer and places it where people’s lips usually are. Shh. Secret. I immediately understand. “Ahh, through osmosis! Gotcha.” XD
• When we leave I immediately head over to the bench and sit down to send my cool photo with Hello Kitty to the parents!
• By then, it’s lunchtime. Kim tootles me off to meet Pastor Grace and Naomi for lunch @ Ho Lin Wah. We find parking just outside the fruit shop, so I’m not complaining.
• Today, I have the ‘B’ meal, pork neck with rice! I’ve never tried neck meat before; can you just buy pork neck from the butcher? I also enjoyed my first cold HK-style milk tea; back in April dad said I was only allowed to drink hot ones before the weather was getting colder; I decided that six months later I could drink a hot one again, yay for that! Pastor Grace and Naomi shared a fried instant noodle dish; hey, I never knew you could FRY two minute noodles!
• Over lunch, we just chatted. They left @ 1:05pm; I didn’t bother calling Kim coz we’d decided I’d only call her if they left before 1pm. Besides, coz I eat really slowly, I didn’t finish till 1:25! XD Then I just played Candy Crush until Kim came back to collect me, slightly late @ 1:35pm.
• She tootles me home, I turned off the alarm and headed into the bathroom for my nice warm shower – I washed and rinsed my hair today. I also softly, slowly but most hatefully sang 21% of my shorter second-favourite song out aloud, opening both eyes for all the important numbers.
• I had one tinkle before I flip the nice warm water off, mostly dry myself (thanks to Kim who kindly helped me dry my back, both legs and Era), mostly cream myself (again, thanks to Kim who kindly helps me cream my back, both calves and Era, then mostly rekit myself. Actually, a problem arises: around the time when I’m walking to meet Hello Kitty, idiot Elf starts hurting. I mention that to Kim before lunch, and after I get home and undress for my shower, she discovers that Elf has like a big water blister! Hence why she lemme sit back into Sparkless 2; she didn’t want me walking and hurting myself even more. Thankfully, PIG mum arrived home with five minutes to spare; at precisely 3:30pm, she shooed Kim away.
• Still sitting in Sparkless 2; I wheel myself over to the gobbling :P table, where I let PIG mum nab @ least half my chocolate custard bunf or lunch. We each drink one cup of Chinese tea; over arvo tea, PIG mum tells me today she did dressings the most and I show her the photos I took with Hello Kitty! Unfortunately PIG mum takes offence with my posture and spends the next goodness knows how long lecturing me and providing visual examples of what she deems ‘acceptable’ and ‘unacceptable’ neck posature.
• Afterwards, I sit over the loo and do a stinky unspeakable before returning online.
• Fingers crossed that dearest dad will take us out for dinner together tonight!
• Toms; perhaps expect a pissy plodding total from me? Apart from seeing Ray for some acupuncture in the early arvo (bet PIG mum can’t wait to yap unceasingly @ him XD), unless PIG mum takes me grocery shopping toms arvo, I don’t see how I’m gonna pass 1000 steps.
• Kim’s coming to mind me from 4pm till 6pm, coz she’s not coming Saturday.
• Anyways, hopefully bbl, else wishing everyone a smashing end to their week toms!

Cheers,

Em. ^^
