tuesday post11

yo! so, i plodded around 3196 steps today. looking good, so far!
well, i know dear dad kissed both i and daddy bear this morning. then i just slept till mum dug me up. i did an unspeakable :P then mum got me dressed, and she FORCED :( me to walk out to the gobbling table :P mum was getting my bowl of just wrong :P ready, when ding dong! aunty anne arrived. so we chatted awhile, b4 mum FORCED :( me to walk out to the car. aunty anne kindly drove us again, and even gave me permission to my westlife CD. unbreakable volume 2, i think it was. once at the PA, she dropped mum and i off and went to park our car. so mum FORCED :( me to walk in, where i made a beeline for the nearest chairs. we rested awhile, then, as i needed the bathroom, mum FORCED :( me to walk to the toilet. a quick pee later, she FORCED :( me to walk over to wash my hands. aunty anne met us there, then mum FORCED :( me to walk to the physio gym. and i was happy - i saw pole! :) she was pushing a wheelchair, which led me to inquire rather cheekily,"pole, a lift for me? how nice!" well, that got a laugh out of her, anyways. so i made my way into the gym, plopped my bum on achair, and waited for tricia to arrive. turns out tricia's last name is 'sinnamon', so, like that spice but with an 's' not a 'c'. mum and aunty anne went a-wandering, and when tricia came, we started with some walking along the parallel bars - forwards, backwards, and even sideways!i admit, i'm not too good with the forwards and backwards walking, but the sideways? downright ABYSMAL, i admit. >< we also took a stroll outside to get our daily dose of vitamin D, but a complaint here - the moment we stepped out, what happened? the sun DISSAPEERED. hmph, and i bet it came bck out the moment we strolled backinside, too! hmph. bah! then, tricia sat me down at the arm bike, and got me to do some left arm exercises. i think she told me 1C is the surgical ward, and 3C is the cardio vascular. i was in 2C, the neuro ward. joe came along, and set up the arm bike, aka the 'rehab trainer' for me. tricia bandaged up my left hand, then i gave a crack at it, although my silly left hand fingers were still pinching a fair bit. midday, she called it a day, and walked me back out to the chairs to wait for mum and aunty anne's return. she gave me permission to yell a bye, to pole first. such a nice lady. ^^so, mum and aunty anne arrived to pick me up. we said our byes, thanks, and see you next weeks to tricia, then mum FORCED :( me to walk back out to the car, me grabbing a chance to sit down and rest my tired legs/sore ankle wherever possible. aunty anne drove us home, and i rang dear dad, but i forgot where he was, sorry. i told him aunty melody was coming over, bringing lunch, and accompanying us to the splint-making place. i guessed she would bring pork chop rice, mum guessed chook chop :P( that's GOTTA be an incorrect name! haha :P), and aunty anne guessed beef chop. so dad guessed salads. we got home. mum FORCED :( me to walk back inside, and we invited aunty anne to stay with us for lunch. ding dong! aunty melody arrived promptly, and mumwas right! oops, dinnertime! bbl~ time is now 7:41pm.
hello! it's 7:53 pm now, meaning i sure gobbled my dinner down fast! rice tonight, with some wombok, some yummy fish - mum said aunty anne taught her that fish was brain food - two little pieces of charsiu, and an even smaller piece of bbq pork. the charsiu i saved for second last, the BBQ pork last. anyways, i washed it all down with a cup of HEAVILY watered down pear juice. still yummy! so, then mum helped me undo the knot of the cool new blue apron aunty anne gave me, and i tootled back online, after shifting my bum back to the right, as mum ordered. ok, so back to where i was: so, she'd brought us chicken subway with honey mustard, and chicken chop rice! we shared, although we all gave mum bits of the salad in the subway we don't like, and aunty melody traded mum some other parts she didn't like. i washed mine down with a cup of chocolate nesquik, they with tea, and i also enjoyed shovelling mouthfuls of the chicken chop rice into my mouth. all gobbled up, it was almost time to head off, so as aunty anne and aunty melody washed up, mum FORCED :( me to walk to the bathroom for a pee. she then FORCED :( me to walk over and wash my hand, b4 she FORCED :( me to walk to the car. we said our byes and thanks to aunty anne as she and aunty melody came out, then mum and aunty melody climbed in too and we tootled off, mum driving, mum driving, aunty melody as navigator, and just me as the bum sitting in the death seat :P when we got there, mum FORCED :( me to walk in, where i took a seat with a gossip mag. when it was my turn, mum FORCED :( me to walk in, and the guy that looked after us was called rod. mum showed him my dud splint and got me to stand up to show him how my silly left ankle rolled out whenever i had to stand. he took some measurements, then casted my leg. even better - he nicely let me sign my cast when he took it off! he's from SA, and told me all south australian males are born with two heads, but he had his 2nd one removed when he moved to qld. me:"so where did you put it?" him, "in the freezer." me" do you ever open the freezer and have a look at it?" him "nah. coz then it looks at me too." he also told me that all south australian males are born with 2 extra toes as well, but unlike his extra head, he didn't have them removed. lol :P
i told him that if possible, i wanted a dark blue cast - my favourite colour. so he got a book out of all these templates, and after discussing it with mum, i chose a blue one with tornadoes on it. hope it'll turn out good!
so, time to go, we said our bye and thanks to rod, then mum put my socks, old splint and shoes back on, then she FORCED :( me to walk outside to the car, rod kindly opening the door for us on our way out. we tootled home. mum gave kerry a ring - turns out the silly woman had rocked up, found no-one present, and rocked home! lol ... so we got home, mum FORCED :( to walk back inside, and we said our thanks and byes to aunty melody. actually, i asked her for her email address, but she said mum already had it and to ask her. oh well. i do it toms, i guess. ding dong! kerry quickly arrived - she lives very close to us - in the same suburb, at least - and gave me a shower first, no hairwash today. i went for an unspeakable :P afterwards, then she got me redressed in socks - she doesn't like the black tet ones - too tight and no toe holes at the end - old splint and shoes. transferred back to sparky, i tootled over to be fed a very yummy arvo tea of a honey ham and toasted cheese sandwhich - actually, i can't taste the difference between honey smoked and normal- and a cup of hot nesquik. i read for awhile, b4 she banished me to go practise piano. i did until just b4 news. tootling over, i whinged that i was starving to kerry :P so she fed me a cracker and a sugar/fat/one of those, anyway free lolly. she had one herself too. after the news, kerry took me to the bathroom for an unspeakable once more :P then i came back, signed the sheet for her, and saw her out the door. poor woman, she has a 6:30am job toms!oh well, as long as she doesn't come wake me up :P i closed and locked the door afterwards, and when mum came back in from getting the washing, asked her to please turn on thenet for me.
anyways, no plans toms, except that aunty yvonne is coming on thurs. dunno what i'll be doing toms - though, knowing mum, she'll prolly be forcing - not worth putting in caps - me to do some OT exercises. oh well.
anyways, me going for the news then the episode of naruto i missed on sunday while i was at camp. it should be ursuila toms. ok, bye!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. a pinch and a punch for the last day of the month! no returns, white rabbit :P
P.P.S. a huge thanks to my vulgar smelling friend - remember, i'm not allowed to call her smelly anymore :( well, not if i want a souvenir for when she goes to japan at the end of the year! anyways, thankee to her so much for the comment! so september is satisfied, now. i won't bug you guys for one again until if and when it's the last week of october and i still haven't received a comment yet.
P.P.P.S. hmm ... should i send uncle fung a card? coz it'll be his bday on oct. 13th! oh, and by the way, by the old chinese calendar, dear grandma's bday is on the 10th of the 10th month.

friday post10

yo! ok, i've only plodded 361 steps today but rest assured, there will be more as i leave for camp tonight.
so, i got up this morning. a sleepy but excited daddy bear said to me, "good morning, em. daddy kissed us BOTH this morning, so i'm happy. and i'm so excited to be leaving for camp! bear bear's taught me to take VERY good care of you." so, i went for an unspeakable first :P then mum got me dressed back in socks, splint and shoes and reclipped my pedometer onto me, b4 FORCING :( me to walk out to the gobbling table :P where she very kindly made me a toasted ham, cheese and tomato sandwhich for brunch. for herself, she boiled some prawns for lunch. yucky, not for me, thanks! i read my book while brekkie was being prepared, mindful of the fact that mum had ordered that my left hand had to stay ON the table, and not my LAP. dunno why, but i did it anyway. when breakfast came, i nibbled off all the crusts first, then had all the tomato slices, b4 finally enjoying the remainder of the sandwhich. that was all washed down with a cup of plain cold milk. so breakfast all gobbled up, mum FORCED :( me to walk over to sparky - thankfully, no standing practice this time - and i tootled online. i checked email first, sending one to belinda - and getting a reply! - and also one to hailey and natalie. oh, and spam count for the week is 194. then i went to check the news - only interesting thing was that both malcolm turnbull and julia gillard have tried marijuna -however it's spelt- before. finally, i'm here to blog. not too sure what to do now, but i think mum will be booting me off soon and hopefully giving me a shower. yay! shouldn't be a hairwash tody, coz i had one yesterday and the day b4, i think. i just wonder, what will we get for dinner? will we pull up at maccas? coz i know first night, no dinner is provided. lol, speaking of food, suddenly i'm craving a cup of hot tea - white and two. anyways, i hope everyone has a great camp, and i'll be back monday/tuesday to tell you all about the great time i had!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. remember guys, the month is almost over and nobody's given me a comment yet! :( pretty pretty please?
P.P.S. ok, so i think that during the day, my parents will vanish on a date :P and leave me to be looked after by the girls. i'm easy looking-after, i promise!

thursday post11

nyways, woke up nice and late today, too late for breakfast. went to do an unspeakable first, :P then mum FORCED :( me to walk to the gobbling table :P without any assistance. you'll be glad to hear though, for the most part, i kept my own balance and didn't kill myself falling over. :P i mean, mum's got great self-belief in herself - "i've got your walkbelt to grab, you won't fall over!" - but i'm a good 20kg or so heavier than mum, you try telling me that again. so, seated at the gobbling table :P mum very kindly fried us 6 dumplings each - brunch for me, lunch for her. they were really very yummy! i mean, they'd've been PERFECT had mum allowed me just a drop of soya sauce with it, but she forbade and dashed that hope. oh well, washed down with a cup of milk, that was still heaps yummy. time to go, mum first FORCED :( me to make a loo trip, then FORCED :( me to walk over to wash and dry my hands, b4 FORCING :( meto walk to the car.
hey, doorbell just rang, that'll be kerry. so i'll sign off now and see you guys tonight! time is now 3:08pm.
well, actually, they're still outside, so i'll type out a few more sentences first. where was i? oh yeah
so off we tootled to kuraby park, to be soon followed by aunty katherine, huldah, and what a surprise - snoopy! ok, i'm being ordered to get off. time is now 3:11pm.
hello again! time is now 6:52pm, and i have lots to blab on about! so, where was i? oh yeah ...
snoopy was nice and friendly to us, giving me a sniff all the while wagging his tail, which led aunty katherine to remark,"oh look! he remembers you!" well, snoppy is 7 or 8 human years now, so that would put him somewhere in between 49 to 56 human years. anyways, mum had a grand old time FORCING :( me to walk about the place, my silly left ankle hurting up a STORM>< we sat down at the shaded area, and had a chit chat. turns out both huldah and ontao are in yr 9 now, and will be going to ballon soon! i hope they have lotsa fun! i think huldah said her or banana's name comes from the bible. (duh, ny that i mean HANNAH, not banana! sheesh:P)
anyways, time to go, mum FORCED :( me to walk back to the car. we waved bye to huldah, aunty katherine and snoopy, and trundled home. at home, mum FORCED :( me to walk back into the house, where we both enjoyed a popper of vitasoy milk and a cracker. i then tootled online to start blogging. oh, and turns out uncle colbert is coming over. he's bringing pikachu to visit me! hope i won't have to do TOO much walking with him ... if i do, oh well.
so, kerry came along soon. shower first, with a hairwash. i went for an unmentionable after :P before getting redressed in socks, splint and shoes. transferred back into sparky, i tootled over for arvo tea. a pear - i gave both mum and kerry a slice -, a yummy toasted ham and cheese sandwhich - usually, if i can, i prefer to have 2 slices of cheese, it makes the sandwhich fuller. but mum's refused for some reason - oh well, a slice will have to do. right, uncle colbert's here. time is now 7:09. bbl!
yo :P time is now 8:39. anyways, uncle colbert then dragged me a walking, meaning my final total for thursday is now 2272. not bad :) also, he took me to visit pikachu, who happily told me that he missed me and that uncle colbert had been a good boy and hadn't pulled his ears. his one main gripe? "uncle colbert doesn't say good morning to me when he goes to work." uncle colbert's defence? "hey, not fair! it's coz i leave too early and you're still sleeping!" lol :P anyways, uncle colbert stayed for dinner, ie dad made him a cup of tea. for me, dinner tonight was rice, a few spoonfuls of my favourite tomato &beef mince and a few pieces of lettuce, all washed down with a cup of HEAVILY watered-down pear juice. so, when uncle colbert left, i think he lent that pikachu to stay with me! anyways, i do promise i'll look after it! after dinner, mum FORCED :( me to walk over to the computer, but don't think i was that lucky as to get online! she made me stand by myself for 7+ mins, then dad FORCED :( me to walk to a nearby chair, where i was promptly forced to do either 57, 58, or 61 of those sit up straight exercises. my life sucks ... get used to it ... you must be as sick of reading it as i am of typing it :P so, finally all finished, dad FORCED :( me to walk back to the computer table and mum kindly rolled sparky back up to me. so, after i finish blogging tonight, first i will send joey a bday ecard, then vincent the physio and kat jie jie. how cool is that? they're all born on the same day! then, i'll read the day's news, b4 last of all my weekly episode of naruto. i'm looking forward to!anyways, you prolly won't see me online till next week, coz toms is camp time! i'm so excited - i hope we learn lots! and i also hope there's LOTSA yummy food! and lots of desert, too :Pi'll be back monday/tuesday to blab all about camp. until then!
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post10

hi! so, my final total for wednesday is 3473. looking good!
anyways, ursula came today and gave me a shower, no hairwash today. she then redressed me in everything minus the dud splint. on my part, i admit to stupidity coz i lost my balance when standing up and flopped over the couch. back in sparky, i tootled over for some arvo tea:a pear - mum and ursula birdie :P both scored a slice each - a toasted cheese and ham sandwhich and a cup of tea with a spoonful of honey. all gobbled up, ursula grabbed me for hand exercises, e.g. squeezy grape ball x100, theraband x 100, etcetcetc. then she banished me to go practise piano, which i did - all scales, plus most of my new list. at 6pm, i tootled over for the news. good story? that pig that menaced the lady in her own backyard is to be saved. he's to become a father soon! lucky thing got introduced to all these piggy females :P i went to the bathroom once after i finished; mum came in, changed me, then FORCED :( me to walk back out to sign the sheet for my ursula birdie. good news? ursula will still be coming both next wed and the wed after. yay!
she left, and as i was groaning of hungriness, mum kindly fed me a cracker. dear dad soon came home, followed shortly by vincent, who dragged me on a 6 lap walk. when he left, dinner time! rice, some lettuce, a piece of icky mushroom and a few spoonfuls of yummy mince and tomato, all washed down with a cup of heavily watered down pear juice. i then tootled back online, but i'm going again, coz i think a new season of house is starting! cool~ i'm still owed 45mins afterwards, dunno if i'll be back on tonight or toms.
TV time for me now!
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post9

yo! um, so i've plodded 969 steps so far today. i might have done some more for tonight; if so, i'll blog again after my ursula birdie leaves :P
so, i had a happy sleep-in this morning. daddy bear slept with me, content we had both scored a kiss from dear daddy.
when mum got me up, i did an unspeakable, :P then she kindly put my socks, shoes and old splint on. the new one is a dud - doesn't fit my foot well, and hurts like HELL ><" itaiiiiiiiiii!anyways, mum then FORCED :( me to walk out to the gobbling table, as ding dong! aunty catherine (hehe, aka 'ping yee') arrived. even better - she had brought me some brunch! (yeah, waking up at 11am is waaaaaay too late for breakfast :P) so mum kindly boiled me some of aunty catherine's fantastic pork and wombok dumplings for me - i had them with a drop of soya sauce and half a glass of milk. then mum forced (this part isn't worth putting in caps) me to do a good 1/2 an hr of hand exercises - e.g. grapey squeeze ball. while i was hard at work doing them, i regaled aunty catherine with my birthday story involving orli the nurse. when aunty catherine said it was time for her to leave - joey and matthew are on hols, joey's got friends over and they plan to go for fish'n'chips. yum! mum FORCED :( me to walk to the door, where we said our byes and thanks to ping yee :P then mum FORCED :( me to walk back to the table, where my 2nd lot of OT exercises began, this time taking 40mins to do, meaning my total time spent on OT exercises today was 1hr and 10 mins, or just 70mins. it was just theraplaydough :P work this time :P both colours, both hands. then mum fieled a call from a lady from coda, where she spent some time telling the lady about the problem of kerry not making me do hand exercises, instead choosing to watch her soapies while i read my book or the day's paper. call done, mum FORCED :( me to walk back to sparky, whee i popped online. if my ursula birdie :P gets here on time at 3, i'll have been on for 23 mins, meaning that tonight, after she's gone, i'll still have an hour and 37 mins to go. hmm ... but i might have to forfeit that extra time so i can watch house! i can't wait!
well, my ursula birdie :P should be here in a minute or 2. i'll blog again tonight, and maybe squeeze in an episode of naruto too!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. yum yum - mum says i can have a toasted ham and cheese sandwhich for arvop tea. think i'll have that with a hot nesquik, coz i had a hot cup of tea yesterday.
P.P.S. rang dear dad just b4 i popped online. he's having lunch at uncle yuk tai's i think. not really sure where that is, but oh well.
P.P.P.S. must remember, if ursula suggests more hand exercises tonight, i must not decline them, else if mum finds out she'll chuck a cow!
P.P.P.P.S.whoops ... i forgot. gomen, gomen. and oh dear, but ursula's 10mins late now! i hope she comes soon!
P.P.P.P.P.S. hmm ... i know it's only wed, but i think there's a new episode of naruto waiting for my attention!

tuesday post10

oi:P so i plodded 3270 steps today. still plodding hard. ^^
so, woke up this morning, careful not to wake up daddy bear this morning, coz i scored a kiss from dear daddy this morning and he didn't :P
i went for an unspeakable first :P then mum FORCED :( me to walk out to the gobbling table :P as dingdong! aunty anne arrived, followed shortly by a second ding dong! that was aunty joanne, who had yancey and jessie in tow. they were very helpful wee ones :p as jessie insisted on buttering my bread, then yancey insisted on jamming it. :P that was with a glass of plain milk, then aunty joanne and aunty anne helped me to walk out to the car, as yancey and jessie showed me their little soft toy dogs. they told me their names too, but sorry, i've forgotten them. then mum and aunty anne got in, we said bye to the three ladies, then aunty anne drove us to the PA coz poor mum was still crook. when we got there, i needed to pee, so mum FORCED :( me to walk to the toilet, FORCED :( me to go wash my hands, then FORCED :( me -actually, kerry's here, so i'll be back later tonight. bye! time is now 3:07, i'll be back later tonight.
hello again! well, it's now 7:53pm, and my final total for tuesday is now 3270. not bad, i hope!
so, kerry gave me a shower first, complete with hairwash. i can shower her hands on the 1st day of summer, i.e. 1st dec, but she says i'm not allowed to spray HER, as in her body, i guess, until it's 37 or 38 degrees. i hope that day comes soon!so, i did an unspeakable after :P then kerry redressed me, leaving my new splint off then swapped me back to sparky. i tootled over for some arvo tea - a cup of hot nazirs english breakfast with just a spoonful of honey, and some crackers with a bit of ham and cheese over the top. i declined kerry's offer of hand exercises, then as she was watching her young and the restless, i think it was, i read the newspaper. mum's now putting on the hand splint for me, and i've just been majorly busted for declining kerry's offer of hand exercises. oh well, i guess i'll just have to start doing them again. not too much of a biggie. anyways, kerry soon banished me to practise piano, which i did until news time. basically just my new list of songs. news time, i tootled back over for the news. a big laugh at the pig who held a woman hostage in her own backyard! lol, but the human wins in the end. why? the pig has a date with the butcher soon :P after the news, kerry took me to the loo once more. i tootled back, and practised piano again - all of the songs from the old list that i can remember, and all major, minor, and melodic minor scales. then mum got me, put my splint back on for me, and FORCED :( me to walk over to the table to sign the sheet for kerry. then she FORCED :( me to walk kerry to the door, where we said our bye and thanks. then mum FORCED :( me to walk back to the living room, where i groaned that my poor ankle was hurting majorly. so she plopped me on the couch, took shoe, splint and sock off, then pronounced my poor ankle was all blotchy red :S she kindly gave me a rub, then when dad came back put shoes and socks back on, and dad kindly transferred me back to sparky, where i tootled over for dinner. like every other night :P rice tonight, some bok choy, a piece of chicken, and one spoonful of yummy mince& tomato, all washed down with a cup of heavily watered down pear juice.
anyways, that's all from me today. i'm off toeither read the news, or send both christy and belinda an email. will see you guys toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. dunno whether it's ursula or kerry coming toms. i know aunty yvonne won't come till thurs, but vincent the physio will come tomorrow. oh well, no biggie. bye!
P.P.S. well, i did see linelle, but it was janelle that took me for physio today!i missed her. ^^" so, we plodded along the parallel bars a good couple of times, then she walked me back to a bed where i showed her all my bed exercises that mum forces me to do b4 i hit pig land :P bob came along; the mean man laughed at my poor broncos losing, but said he would graciously allow me to cheer for manly instead. hmph - i think not! i wouldn't go for the auckland warriors either, coz they're kiwi, and certainly not mean melbourne - how DARE they beat my poor brave broncos! i know cameron smith is the captain of the maroons QLD state of origin team, but the nasty man did a grapple tackle on sam thaiday, and i sure hope he gets suspended for that! shame on him. >, so i guess the only option left is to cheer on paramatta. hmm... they're new south welshman, but oh well. anyways, janelle told mum that dom dom would take over my physio soon - i want to meet her little girl! ok, so i think i will go write an email to belinda soon - we swapped email addresses last friday/sunday, i think. ok, bye!
P.P.P.P.S. um, how many p's am i up to now? i've forgotten, sorry. but dad's just ringing aunty no. 4 right now, and he's talkig to either ching or kin ying. kin, i think. and hey, how cool is that? kin ying was born on the day we immigrated to australia :P

monday post5

hi! ok, so my new and final total for monday is now 989. anyways, ursula rocked up around 3pm, and gave me a shower first, hairwash today. i had a pee afterwards then she redressed me in shoes, socks and splint, then swapped me back to sparky and i tootled over for arvo tea. interesting ... a cup of nazirs white tea with a spoonful of honey - ursula takes hers black - and light premium crackers with a piece of cheese over them, and a pear, some strawberries, and a banana. ursula got me to do some hand exercises afterwards, ie. theraband x100, squeezy grape ball, etc etc etc. she then banished me to practise piano :P which i did awhile - all scales, major, minor, melodic minor and chromatic. a few songs, but since it was almost news time, ursula took me to the loo then we settled down for 7's 6pm news. ursula kindly sneaked me half a glass of plain cold milk b4 mum came down. when she did, i thought mum was going to force me to bike pedal, but instead she asked ursula to help me put my splint back on, then FORCED :( me to walk 6 or so laps. done, i signed the sheet for my 'ursula birdie' - she tells me she's a canary - and we said our thanks and byes. a parent FORCED :( me to walk back online. so, blogging now. will prolly check the news, send an email to christy jie, and watch the episode of naruto i missed last night. but i won't bother coming back onlinbe to blog about my dinner - no doubt, it'll be rice, vegies, a bit of beef and a cup of pear juice HEAVILY watered down. anyways, see yopu toms!

monday post4

OI:p SO, 163 + 144 only makes 307 so far, but since i came on at2:15, i'll be back on for more tonight.
anyways, i woke up this morning when aunty wendy arrived. i went in the pot, then mum got me dressed as aunty wendy arrived. gotta remember, her daughter's name is christine and she's a uni student, and her husband and son are malcolm and david; the son works with the fuel companies, and he's the one who lost an eyeball when he was only like 5 months old.aunty wendy told me some immigration or airport person gave her her english name, but i keep forgetting where she comes from, sorry.
i know dear dad kissed me goodbye this morning. don't know about daddy bear though, shh :P
so, mum FORCED :( me to walk out to the gobbling table :P aunty wendy was a gem and picked me out lotsa sultanas in my breakfast bowl of just wrong :P she also had me drink a full glass of water first, too. i settled down to watch the news as poor crook mum hit pig land again. 7's news at 11:30, then ABC's at midday. but poo, telstra shares are down by 6c, to like $4.07. oh well, we've only got like 400 of them anyway. a present from uncle david, one christmas, i believe. i think he and dad each forked out half the money for them. that was when they were worth $7.00 a share! anyways, news over, i tootled over for some lunch. thanks to aunty wendy who made me a yummy toasted cheese and ham sandwhich with some mayo squirted over it, a cup of cold nesquik. then she even gave me some soup she had made! beef, potato, carrot, tomato, and bleeding beetroot:P, i believe. not bad at all! then i sat down to watch some thing on shirley temple on channel 7 as aunty wendy went to do some paperwork. she took me to a place now forbidden to be mentioned once more, then mum woke up and came down. we said our thanks and bye to aunty wendy - actually, this is her 2nd marriage. she met her 2nd husband while she was working as a sales cashier somewhere. dear dad came home about the same time as aunty wendy left to microwave his lunch. he gave me some eye goo as poor mum made herself some gruel then rang aunty anne to see if she could accompany us to hospital toms (she can).aunty joanne has friends/relatives visiting, that's why she can't make it toms. turns out it's ursula coming today; kerry's said she doesn't want to work as many days. anyways, i think arvo tea will be some crackers, with a cup of hot tea. i had it yesterday, but i also had a cup of hot nesquik, see.
anyways, mee off to get me an episode of naruto i didn't watch last night. will see you guys again toms arvo. byebye!
cheers,
em. ^^

yo! so, 393 +548+27 = 968. so that's how many steps i plodded today.
dad says i've only got 30mins online, so ... toms i'll be owed 95 mins, meaning i get to be online for 215 mins.
so, woke up this morning. dad FORCED :( to walk to the loo. i peed, then dad FORCED :( me to go wash my hands, then dad FORCED :( me to walk to the gobbling table :P where he very kindly buttered and jammed :P my toast for me, along with a cup of plain milk. he said to scoff it down fast, though, coz we were running late. oh! b4 i forget though, 2 sad things to mention: 1. last night, as dad was FORCING :( me back to my room, i lost balanmce and plopped on my bum. >< i'm ok though, it's just the left bumcheek whining a bit. 2: even sadder:last night my poor brave broncos went down to the stinking sydney city roosters. and in the last minute, too! :( ah well ... next year.
so, turns out mum didn't make it to church coz the poor thing was dizzy. :s so please keep her in your prayers!
anyways, after hastily gobbling down breakfast, dad FORCED :( me to walk out to the car, where off to church we trundled. evan led worship today; julz playing guitar and it was either pole or janice on piano. sorry, but i dunno the speaker's name; just that today he talked about the war christians have to wage against the baddies. there was no communion afterwards, but as i neded to pee, dad FORCED :( me to walk in, FORCED :( me to walk over to wash my hands, and FORCED :( me to walk back out. we chatted to a few ppl - i just apologised profusely to christy jie coz i somehow forgot to go to her bday party! >< that's 2 this year already :s meaning i had better send an email to janice asking her to please send me a reminder of when her bday bash will be.
anyways, time to go, dad FORCED :( me to walk out to the car. dunno why there was no bible study, but we tootled straight home to check on poor pig mum :P dad FORCED :( me to walk in, i sat down at the round gobbling table and he fed me a lunch of nissan instant noodles with a piece of yummy pork from aunty anne. ding dong! aunty yvonne and she soon had me plodding up and down the hallway, my silly left ankle hurting up a storm. she told me although uncle stephen's at bible college, he won't be a pastor when he graduates. actually, oops - i forgot. after lunch, dad ordered "bed time." so i flopped on my bed and went to pig land for awhile :P just getting up to pee in the pot once.
so, kerry did turn up today, still dizzy, but workable. so she gave me a shower first, i had a pee then she redressed me in socks, splint and shoes. oh - and hairwash today. back on sparky, i was about to tootle over for morning tea, when ding dong! uncle ken and aunty florence came. so i tootled out and showed uncle ken my stupid file i must've somehow forgotten the password to - it's my only 100 000+ word fic i'd written! >< then aunty florence kindly prayed for me, then we said our thanks and byes. they drove off, and i tootled back in for my arvo tea of a hot nesquik and a cheeseand ham sandwhich. thanks mum! i didn't know you'd bought any!
we did hand exercises for awhile, b4 i was banished to do some piano practise :P which i did until news time. truly heartbreaking - my poor brave broncos ...:( we'll get them next year! actually, we'll try next year under ivan henjak. hope he does as well as wayne bennett! so, news over, i got kerry to take me to the bathroom once, b4 dad put me on for a round of bike pedalling. should i put up a tally of how much he owes? nah, stupid :P
done, i signed the sheet for kerry and we said our byes and thanks. dinnertime! rice tonight, with um ... lol, i can't remember! ^^" anyways, i washed it down with a cup of yummy but heavilywatered -down pear juice, b4 dad FORCED :( me on a few more rounds of walking around the living room.
anyways, my time's about up, so i'll call it a day here. hope everyone hsas a good week and i'll see yous all toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. almost forgot - b4 news, after i had finished practising piano, kerry kindly fed me a second arvo tea drink of a cup of tea with a dollop of honey. ok, nite!

anyways, i'm not sure if i'll wait to 8:20, coz the broncos are playing in their do or die preliminary final against the storm! well, either them, or the roosters.
so, news for me now, then i'll tootle over to barrack for my broncos when it's 8:20pm. i hope to see most of yous at church toms!

mum kindly put my socks, shoes and splint back on, b4 FORCING :(me to walk out to the gobbling table :P i chose 'just wrong':P for breakfast today, and asked mum to please give me an extra spoonful or two as i felt i didn't have enough yet :( thanks to mum who did! after that, mum FORCED :( me on more walking practice, anywhere between 4-8 laps, you decide, topping it up with a good 6-8 mins of standing - remember, thou shalt lean all the way to the LEFT, thou shalt not touch ANYTHINMG, etcetcetc. then mum FORCED :( me to walk over to the piano, where my left hand had to practise piano for a good 15 or so mins, topping it up with just playing hot cross buns with the pointer a good 8 or so times. then mum FORCED :( me to walk over to sparky; a bit of stupidity on my part though i admit - while i was standing up at the piano, i lost my balance and almost fell to my death! >< luckily, thanks to mum who caught me. gomen, gomen.

thursday post10

hi! um, i plodded 2469 steps today. give or take a few :P
so, woke up this morning, daddy bear burbled a sleepy good morning and said, "good. daddy kissed us BOTH this morning."then he went back to his loud snoring, and mum dug me up. i went to do sth i've been hereby forbidden to talk about anymore, then mum dressed me, put my socks, splint and shoes back on, before FORCING :( me to walk out to the gobbling table, where i enjoyed a good yummy bowl of 'just wrong' for breakfast. haha, thanks karen the teabag, i'll never forget you :P
finished, i think i read for awhile, then, as i needed the loo, mum FORCED :( to wak to the bathroom, FORCED :( me to walk the sink to wash my hands, then FORCED :( me to walk all the way back to the dining room, where i was promptly put to do a good 40mins (possibly an undestimation here) of left hand exercise, mostly theraputty, but some other stuff as well. then mum FORCED :( me to walk to the piano, where i practised for a good length of time. most scales, and a new list of songs, mainly hymns, really. then mum switched me back to sparky, and i tootled online for awhile as she went to ring coda to find out where kerry had gone. actually, kerry turned up shortly; mum's just putting my wheelchair in her boot. ok, showertime, be back tonight! time is now 3:35 pm.
hello again, me just back quickly for a note as i've been showered - hairwash today - and been to the loo. mum and kerry are making me arvo tea - a toasted cheese sandwhich - i declined tomato - and a hot milo or ovaltine, i can't remember which. it's academic is currently on channel 7. anyways, i'm being summoned to arvo tea, so will see you guys tonight. bye! time is now 4:17
yo again!time is now 7:21pm, and dear dad’s just come home. ^^ better add my new round of steps walked, meaning my new total for Thursday is now … 2469. yeah … looking good! Anyways, kerry came, gave me a nice hot shower with a hairwash, then put me back in all my gear and transferred me back into sparky, where I wheeled myself back to arvo tea. A cup of hot ovaltine this time, with a little of what kerry cutely calls ‘quik’ :P anyways, dad’s summoned me for dinner, so I’ll be back later! Time is now 7:29pm. See you later!
Yo again! 7:44 now, and I’ve been fed dinner, so am happy and full  dinner for me tonight was rice, a few pieces of broccoli, some pieces of fish, one mushroom and one sausage, all topped up with a cup of heavily-watered-down pear juice. So … where was i?
Arvo tea consisted of a toasted cheese sandwhich; I refused mum’s offer of some tomato. Oh and yeah, Canadian Royce says ‘toe-MAY-toe’. Hehe!time to go, mum FORCED  me to walk to the car, where kerry drove us to unique physiotherapy in her 1984 bomb. :P there, she left me with a mag and drove off to get a refund on 2 pairs of pants she had bought, turned out they didn’t fit. So, Vincent had me walk in aroundabouts 5:15, gave me a nice comfy massage – though my left leg is still yelling ouchies because of him :P – and wheeled me out at 5:40 exactly, giving me a newer mag to read. “yours is way out of date already,” says he. Kerry came to pick me up soon after, no luck on the refund, coz she lacked a keycard, or sth like that. Off we tootled home. I needed to pee once we got there, so mum FORCED  to walk to the loo, then FORCED  me to walk back to the living room, where we watched the remainder of 9’s news. Again, the moment the sport’s report finished, mum ordered “bike time” so I did a couple of hundred rotations, meaning if she keeps this up, by Sunday, she’ll owe 30000 rotations herself. Come on piggies, fly! :P
After I finished my biking, I needed to pee again, so mum FORCED  me to walk to the loo, then FORCED  to walk back out to the table, where we said our bye and thanks to kerry. I signed the sheet for her, about 5 or 6 days worth, actually, coz she’d forgotten it. Actually, she told me b4 she got breast cancer she was a postie for 6 odd years. Then, mum FORCED  me to plod another 8 rounds, before leaving me to stand on my own for roughly 8.5 mins. Quite a lot, hey, but not quite the record yet. Ai, my life sucks.  got used to it yet? Whoops, apologies, mum says it was only 6 laps. Oh well, you be the judge.
Anyways, that’s all from me now. Hope to see most of yous at UF toms night! Off to get me an episode of naruto now. G’nite!
Cheers,
Em. ^^

wednesday post8

ok, i did an extra 5 stepstonight, so i'll have to remember to add that on to my total toms arvo when i'm writing my blog.
anyways, ursula (pronounced 'urshula') came this arvo, so i was very happy to see her. she gave me a shower first - no hairwash today. mum says i'm forbidden to write about loo trips anymore, so my lips are now sealed. zipped shut :P arvo tea was a toasted tomato and cheese sandwhich with a cup of tea sweetened with a teaspoon of honey. just thanks to ursula who let me try a spoonful of her lemon green tea, or whatever it really was. it tasted ok, but i'm no big fan, or anything. then we started on hand exercises - ie. squeezy grape ball, theraband tugging, bowling cups, etcetcetc. then ursula banished me to practise piano while she kindly washed a few dishes for us. i settled down for the news at 5:30, then followed by 7's 6pm news. mum came down, and instead of forcing me to ride bike, FORCED >
< me to walk 6 laps instead. then i signed the sheet for ursula - i call her my 'ursula birdie':P we said our byes and dad came home. it's dinnertime now, so i'm off; see you all toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. ok, so i'm feeling a bit jipped here - originally, i'm allowed for a mere 2 hours a day. but because carrie and royce were here for a couple of days, i missed one night, meaning i could get 4 hrs the next day. i spent 3 hrs yesterday, meaning i would still have another 3 hrs today, but trust mum to tell me, "nope, you've only got 30mins left. ah well, my life sucks. get the hell used to it. goodnite.
cheers,
em. ^^
P.P.S. dinner tonight was rice, a piece of beef, a few pieces of chicken, some fish, a few pieces of cauliflower, and a cup of heavily watered-down pair juice. mum has refused to give me a cup of plain pear juice when i can walk on my own again. i look forward to that day!

wednesday post7

hi! umm ...i plodded 1345 today. still going strong. !^^
so, b4 i blab on about my day, a wee complaint first. you know how i used to drive INTO the bathroom, then stop OUTSIDE it and walk in, then stop at the fridge? well, seems like my nightmare is coming true - last night, dad had me stop at the SOFA, then he FORCED :( me to walkto the living room, where he made me stand still for 5+ mins, then FORCED :( me to walk all the way back to the TV, then FORCED :( me to walk all the way back to the lounge room, where he plopped me in the sofa then grabbed me for a few rounds of standing practice. you know, thou shalt not touch ANYTHING, thou shalt lean all the way to the LEFT, etc etc etc. then he left me there for awhile, in the couch, and i admit ... i fell asleep. ^^" thanks to dad who woke me back up, before FORCING :( me to walk back to the bathroom to brush teeth. remember, mum forces my left hand to hold onto the cup for the first pre-brush rinse, then the 3 after-brush rinses, b4 my poor right hand gets a go. hehe yay - i just rang dear dad! i love him the best. :) he's in ashgrove now, and just had lunch. actually, he reminds me that i went to ashgrove to take my grade 8 piano exam. so, back to where i was. after brushing teeth and washing hands, mum FORCED :( me to walk to the loo for a tinkle, then FORCED :( me to walk back to the basin to wash my hand, then FORCED me to walk back to the bedroom for some pig time :P zzz.
so, this morning: i woke up and was miserable coz i didn't know that dad had kissed me goodbye or not! >< but then an equally miserable daddy bear told me to can it, because i at least GOT a kiss!so i grabbed him and we went back to sleep together. mum got me up fairly late, put my shoes and socks on for me, b4 FORCING >< me to walk out to the gobbling table :P where i enjoyed a bowl of just wrong for breakfast :P aunty wendy came, and promptly found me like 4 or 5 sultanas as i had whinged i couldn't discover any. mum left to go buy hand creme for dear grandma, and aunty wendy sat me down to watch the news while giving me a hand massage. news over, she very kindly made me a chicken kebab for lunch, which i washed down with a cup of yummy chocolate nesquik. funnily enough, as i was eating, i said,"strange, aunty wendy, but the kebab is awfully dry." to which this lady replied, "poop! i forgot to add the mayo!" haha :P lunch finished and me satiated, aunty wendy very kindly gave me a bowl of soup she had made herself. i think, chicken carcasses, carrots and onion, i think. she even saved a bowl for mum too. then she took me to the loo once b4 mum returned home. mum had her bowl of soup too, as i watched some TV. believe me, there is NOTHING on worth watching in the arvo. and no, dr. phil DOES NOT count :Pwe said our bye and thanks to aunty wendy, who's off to get her glasses fixed. as she left, i wheeled myself into the loo. trust mum to, as i was doing a pee, to move my chair ALL the way back to the end of the house, just so she could FORCE :( me to walk all the way back to sparky. then i tootled online, and sent linelle a get well e-card. so, news for me now. aunty yvonne's said she's coming toms. no biggie. i'm just curious, will mum have some decent lunch for us? also, i wonder, if anyone will come help us from coda this arvo. and if so, what will mum provide as arvo tea? if someone does come - and i hope someone will! - i'll ask for a cup of tea for arvo tea, as i already had a cup of nesquik yesterday arvo. anyways, news time for me! hope you're all enjoying your week, and will see you again toms arvo!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. aunty nga rang last night. "baby mickey got your card,"says she, "he's very happily waving it around." i'm glad he liked! it should be his bday sometime near the end of the week.
P.P.S. eep, why is my face suddenly ITCHING so? coz i promise i don't have fleas! ok, laters!
P.P.P.S. aunty anne just came over. mum's having a yak to her about the fish oil tablets she got for grandma. byebye!

tuesday post9 and monday post 4

oi:P ok, i plodded 585 steps today and 4004 yesterday. let's do this in order, ok?
mon: woke up, used the pot, dad FORCED>< me to walk to the gobbling table :P where i had half a slice of french toast. i asked royce if he'd eaten all the rest, and he said he did. naughty man!:P so, mum, carrie and royce went to go buy souvenirs. says royce,"carrie's doing the shopping. i'm just here to carry everything.":P so i read my book until they came back - with not one, not two, but THREE wombats! "this one's for you", says carrie/royce. so go to my LJ to read about my 2 newest friends. time to go: i wanted to use the loo first, so mum FORCED >< me to walk in to the loo, then FORCED >< to walk back out and into the car, where far far away we trundled, riding on the warrego highway, i think it was? a long drive up, our first stop was the queen's gardens, or sth like that. thankfully, dad got my wheelchair out, and i only got up and hobbled a few steps everytime there was a picture to be taken. hope these are nice!: ok, i have no idea what happened there, but apologies for all the HTML!we also visited some japanese gardens, snapping quite a few many pictures, then we finally took the long drive home, carrie happily snoring away :P we stopped for tea/snack b4 dinner/whatever you want to call it :p at the sunnybank plaza maccas. carrie and i shared some double cheeseburger thing, just thanks to dad who handed me a mc chicken nugget, which i happily dunked in sweet'n'sour sauce. then we tootled home. mum FORCED >< me to walk in for a pee in the loo, and FORCED >< me to walk back out. there, she suggestedwe stay behind and have sth for dinner, leaving dad to take royce and carrie to dinner. of course, i refused, so after being FORCED >< to walk to the car, we tootled off to the manor for dinner, ordering some set meal. apparently the soup was some flower petal one? i dunno ... anyways, dad heavily restricted what i could and couldn't eat, so i count myself pretty lucky to have had a lil bit of quail, chicken, tofu, and as many veges i wanted. desert was a lil sesame ball, actually, i would have DEARLY loved one more, but mum said no and promised me she'd get me one b4 the year runs out. lol, she had better not go back on her word! lol.
so i gave a happy greeting to uncle patrick and asked him what 'manager' in canto is. he told me, but i've already forgotten what it is, so i guess i'll just have to go ask mum later.
time to go, parents FORCED >< me to walk back out to the car, where we tootled home. there, i was FORCED >< to walk back inside, where i promptly forgot all the names i gave to the 4 wombats. i think ... mine is 'wombok', my new one is 'big bok choy', and the other two are 'little corn' and 'big sweet potato'. well, sth like that, anyway :P carrie dug into our computer to upload all the photos on her camera to our hard drive, while royce and i hugged giant - well, i did the hugging - and took photos. then i said goodnite, got carrie and royce to promise to wake me up to say bye on tuesday, and drank my milk. then mum FORCED >< to walk to the bathroom to brush teeth - she still forces my left hand to hold the cup for every single rinse b4 my poor right hand gets a go at the end - then FORCED >< me to walk to the bathroom to go pee, then FORCED >< me to walk to the sink to wash hands, then FORCED me to walk back to bed, where i finally hit the sack for some shut eye. zzz.
tues: carrie came in to say bye first, then royce. i scored a peck on the cheek from both. daddy bear's not happy coz he got zip, zero, and zilch. :P so they left and i went back to being a pig, hugging my poor sulky daddy bear. mum came and got me up fairly late. i had a pee in the pot :P then mum FORCED :( me to walk out to the gobbling table :P where i enjoyed a bowl of just wrong :P i have to tender a small complaint, though. the box says the sultanas are fat and juicy! but mine must have been the RUNT of the family. small, but at leat they were still sweet!ding dong! aunty vicky arrived! back from china, she told us a funny story from china of their futile attempt to watch the opening ceremony! but even better ... she got me a panda!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) yeah, thanks aunty vicky! like i said, go to my LJ if you want to read about it!to be honest, i can't remember what i had for lunch - or if i had any at all - but when mum deemed it was time to leave, she FORCED :( me to walk to the car, where off to kuraby park we tootled. mum then took great pleasure in FORCING :( to walk around the place. i sat down somewhere, where i had a yak with aunty vicky. we actually saw lotsa primary school kids! some excursion, i guess. i admit, i was just surprised at the size of the bags some of them carried. huge!there must hsave been more than 100 of them. time to go, mum FORCED :( me to plod all the way back to the car, where we tootled home. we said our thanks and bye to aunty vicky at the door, as mum FORCED me to walk back inside to the kitchen, where i was allowed to plop back into sparky. gina came visiting soon after, i admit, i keep forgetting if she's from ABIOS or some place else. so we had a chat, before she left. mum made us both the very nice arvo tea of a toasted cheese, ham and tomato sandwhich, of course, i nibbled off all the crusts first :P we also had a cup of nesquik each, b4 i tootled online and mum went for more pig time :P so, off to send poor linelle a get well card, then off to watch naruto! dunno what i'm doing toms, coz i know aunty yvonne can't come till thurs. oh well, guess i'm just happy that mum will shower me tonight, coz kerry for some reason as yet unknown, can't make it. oh well. see everyone tomorrow!
cheers,
em. ^^

sunday post4

yo! so, me plodded 2250 steps today. hope i can keep it up!
anyways, i was a happy pig this morning. originally, i had called for royce to wake me up, but instead, the wake up call, came this morning, from carrie. so, "go away" slurs a sleepy me, "ten more mins."
fortunately, this WAS granted, b4 mum came and poked me up :P i peed in the pot :P then mum FORCED :( me to walk out to the gobbling table :P where i refused any bread, but tried the 'just right' cereal for the first time. and quite yum, says i ! hehe, and i also remember fondly how karen the teabag calls it 'just wrong' :P
breakkie all gobbled up, mum FORCED :( me to walk to the car, where off to southport we tootled! traffic was actually pretty good, too, i must add. so, once we arrived, dad dropped mum and i off first. first, i needed to pee so mum FORCED :( me to walk to the loo, then FORCED :( me to walk back out and sit in a nearby chair. but, after deciding that it was too windy, mum FORCED :( me to some place else to sit. the rest of the family soon followed, and as they were about to feed the pelicans, dad FORCED :( me to go sit on the sand, where i promptly built a sandcastle with about 50 scoops of the hand. i got mum to take a picture, too:
pelican feeding all finished, they waddled away pretty quickly! dad then FORCED :( me to walk back up to a table, where they went to buy some fish'n'chips, which i happily snacked on. carrie had a can of coke and royce a bottle of ginger beer, while mum and i just stuck to our bottle of water. time to go, royce helped me walk back to the car. we tootled home, as royce and carrie stayed to further tourist the area. listening to westlife's old hits CD, we stopped by at yatala to pick up some pies - steak, bacon and cheese for me, steak and mushroom for mum, no idea what dad chose. so when we got home, mum FORCED :( me to walk in. dad left for baddy, and kerry came at 3:30, giving me a shower first. hair wash again today, coz i'd gotten sand in my hair. i had a pee afterwards, then kerry redressed me. arvo tea was a cup of hot nesquik and 1/3 of my delicious steak, bacon and cheese pie. i read awhile, then kerry started me on hand exercises. e.g. squeezy grape ball, raising hand, etc, before banishing me to go practise piano :P both hands. i went to the loo once b4 news, and kerry gave my arms a short massage. after news, we said our bye and thanks to kerry. carrie and royce soon came home, as did dad from baddy. turns out b1 didn't go this time. aunty a arrived shortly also, turns out she doesn't eat mooncake. as for me, i'm just happy coz aunty anita gave mum some home-made mooncake - WITHOUT peanuts :)
actually, sorry, silly me actually thought today is monday! >< meaning at church, dora led worship, and uncle derek spoke today, on highways and freeways, i believe it was. and mum FORCED me to walk in to the church, FORCED :( me to walk into the loo, FORCED me to walk OUT of the loo, and FORCED me to walk out of church. and we went to yum cha for lunch >< meaning that now, i REFUSE to go again till jan. 3rd. hmph. as expected, parents FORCED :( me to walk in then FORCED :( me to walk back out. i also said a happy hello to uncle patrick, who kindly got me a glass of water. oh, and i also tried some taro thing for the first time. quite nice!
anyways, me going for the latest episode of naruto now. have a great week, everyone! oh, and happy mid-autumn festival day!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. almost forgot - spam count for the weekend was 72.

saturday post6

yo!, ok, i plodded 4190 steps today. the weekend started well. :)
anyway, doorbell just rang so kerry's here. i'll be back online later tonight. cya! time is now 3:06 pm. turns out mum and kerry are having a yak now, so thought i'd just type out an extra sentence or two. so, better do this in chronological order, starting with ... friday night:
happy mid-autumn festival, everyone! so, after kerry left, mum FORCED :( me to walk to the loo, then dad took over and FORCED :( to walk to the car. off to church we tootled. there, parents FORCED :( me to walk up the few steps inside church, where we sat down to applaud many acts of singing and acting, by the wee ones, some cell groups, and UF! i went out too!thanks to smelly and mel mel who helped me to stand during the singing; best of all, a cheat sheet! well, really, just a piece of paper with the canto lyrics and the english translation on it too. speaker of the night was 'him sook' ok, shower time! Time is now 3:16. bbl!
lol, it's 8:09 now, and a lot has happened since then! so,
back to where i was: after 'him sook' spoke and the service was finished, parents decided to FORCE :( me all the way down to the manse. much thanks to aunty katherine who helped me walk down, and uncle yuk tai who went ahead to snare me a piece of mooncake. but then, trouble hit:s peanut oil! waaah. so i settled for a cup of unfizzy fruit punch, much thanks to uncle yuk tai. then, success! mum returned with a piece of mooncake for me! "success,"says she, "aunty angel didn't use any peanut oil making hers." so i happily gobbled it down. mum and dad went chatting to a few ppl, and so did i, to anyone who came around, e.g. aunty katherine, who told me soccer dan was playing in his soccer grand final soon. best of luck to him! i also congratulated aunty catherine on her wonderful dancing, and told her she had to teach uncle calvin how to dance for their 25th wedding anniversary next year. uncle calvin just claimed it was impossible, patting his belly. i had a chat to matthew too, who said he had chosen geography and graphics for yr 9 next yr. ugh! not for me, thanks :P time to go, dad kindly moved the car back downstairs, then parents FORCED :( to walk to the car. we tootled home. upon arrival, i sent dad to check out the rugby league score for me - i wanted to see if the broncos won! while mum FORCED :( me to walk inside to the bathroom and brought me my bedtime half a glass of milk. i brushed my teeth - in exchange for letting my right hand have a final rinse - mum forces the left hand to hold the cup for the first rinse as well. then mum FORCED :/9 to walk to the loo. a quick pee later, mum FORCED :( to go walk and wash my right hand, then FORCED :( me to walk back to my room. dear dad came in to happily tell me that the broncos have survived to see another match - i wonder, how did miserable manly fare? so, bedtime. zzzzz.
saturday: mum woke up to go to work. i did a pee in the bedpot :P( how cute!) and went back to sleep with daddy bear, both happy that we'd got a kiss from mum. we went back to sleep. i woke up once more to ask dad for the pot, then dad got me up and dressed, before FORCING :( to walk out to the gobbling table :P where he very nicely fed me a breakfast of chicken omelette on toast with a plain glass of milk. fist session:OT. which means, sorry, but uncle wallace is NOT WELCOME next week. just left hand work, raising, opening, etcetcetc.uncle wallace put my hand splint on too, meaning it could come off at 2:45pm. all over, dad fed us morning tea - for me, half a slice of raisin toast, and half a cup of dad's rather strong but awfully yum milk tea. uncle wallace left, and dad decided to FORCE :( me on walking practice. so i went to the loo for a number 2. mum came home, and changed me back into sparkless. lunch was last night's leftovers, or sth similar. mum then hit the bed for pig time :P and i read awhile to await vincent's arrival, so second session:PT. i'm lucky that he didn't strap up my left foot in sport's tape and drag me hobbling, but i think, mainly, we just walked 5 laps today. so kerry arrived somewhere in the middle, then gave me a shower first, no hairwash today. i had a pee afterwards, and after putting my clothes, splint and shoes back on, kerry fed me arvo tea. strawberries, although this time kerry denied my offer of one. i also had a toasted cheese and tomato sandwhich - of course, i nibbled all of the crusts first. plus a cup of tea with a spoonful of honey. very nice, but says i,"eep! singed tongue">< i settled down for reading awhile, then at 5pm got kerry to take me to the loo once and sat down for ten's 5pm news, remembering that it's only on 5:30 on the weekdays when the young and the restless or the bold and the beautiful is on. kerry likes those soapies.turns out uncle yuk tai went looking for dad, but couldn't reach him. oh well, there's always toms. i finished 7's 6pm news too, and got kerry to take me to the loo once more. mum woke up, surprisingly didn't make me bike pedal. i signed the sheet for kerry, we said our byes and thanks. soon, dad returned home - with my cousin carrie and my new cousin-in-law royce in tow! carrie is now an MBA, and royce works in some ship building thing. carrie dug out her laptop and showed me photos of my cousin's kids - they're 8, 7 and 6 yrs of age, respectively - and also of grandma's (dad's mum)'s 90th birthday. well, she will be, in december. wow, mum's mum is only 74! she also showed me photos of their wedding - i had a grand old time trying to figure out which aunty and cousin was which. i must observe though, ching and kin ying certainly need a haircut - and FAST! :P soon, dad called dinnertime. rice tonight, with some bok choy (there are at least 3 different vegetables called bok choy in english :P ) some chicken and a piece of pineapple. yum! so, i washed mine down with a cup of watered pearjuice, then tootled back online to finish my blog.
anyways, will see you again toms! dunno if dear cousin and cousin-in-law will wake up for church toms (my guess is no:P) but all fingers are crossed for some good lunch toms! cya!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. mum says i' have until 9:15, so no time for naruto - i'll do that toms - but i'll go read some news now. gnite, all!

friday post7

so, spam count for the week is 181, and i plodded3354 steps today. a good end to the week, i'll say!
so, got up this morning. daddy bear was still asleep so i asked vincent bear to tell him for me that both dad and i gave him a kiss this morning. he should be happy with that :)
so, a toilet trip, then mum FORCED :( me to walk out to the gobbling table, where i buttered and jammed my own piece of toast and munched it down with a glass of plain milk. ding dong! leann arrived, we had a quick chat, then mum FORCED :( me to walk to the loo. a quick pee, then, mum FORCED :( me to walk out to the car. so off to kuraby park we tootled. mum parked as far away as she could manage, then FORCED :( me to walk all the way down to the ...pagodas, i think you call it? leanne said i could send the city council an email asking them to put up some chairs in the pagoda/whatever it's called so there would be seating available. so i might do it after i finish blogging. we sat down and chatted for awhile, she's got 2 young sons, like kindy and lower elementary age. she also had an older one, but he passed away with cerebral palsy, or sth like that. hey, that'll be another thing to look up for after i finish blogging.
anyways, we chatted. mum gave me a vitasoy milk (the white one; she prefers the brown ones, herself) leann got out some strawberries and fed me some - sweet! best of all - mum got out a packet of tim tams! leann declined any, mum nabbed 2 and i enjoyed 1 myself. so i'll prolly have 1 more for arvo tea.
i needed to go pee, so mum FORCED :( to walk to the loo and FORCED :( to walk back out afterwards. i gave dear dad a ring - he's at everton park right now. so, time to go, mum FORCED :( me to walk back to the car. uphill, too><
my silly ankle was HURTING up a STORM, but i managed to plod back to the car, where back home we tootled. i introduced leann to michael leung, and when we got home, mum FORCED :( me to walk back inside. so we said our bye and thanks to leann, then mum kindly made us some yummy chicken kebabs for lunch. with yucky mushrooms and fairly yucky tomato, but lotsa mayo with mine, thanks. :) i enjoyed mine with a glass of milk, mum with either the same or a can of coke. i finished first, so mum set me to doing hand exercises while she had hers, b4 she kindly turned the computer on for me and i tootled online.
well i hope to see everyone at church tonight! for some mid-autumn moon festival thing. think vincent the physio is coming tonight, no biggie. but uncle wallace is NOT welcome coz he came last week. oh well, time to send my physios my weekly report!
cheers,
em. ^^
p.s. i think kerry said she'll be late today. oh well. but eep, why is my right arm SO ITCHY?!oh well. cya!

thursday post9

ok, so i plodded (well, mum FORCED :( me to walk) an extra 2709 steps tonight, so my new total for thursday is now ... 4196. sorry, but i don't feel like plodding another 4 steps to make it 4200 :P
anyways, when kery came, she gave me a nice hot shower first. no hair wash today, and i went for a quick pee afterwards. she re-dressed me, then i tootled over for arvo tea. some juicy strawberries - i saved one for both her and mum - and a toasted ham and cheese sandwhich - of course, i nibbled off all the crusts first. :P kerry decided to have a slice too, just with some marg, and shared a crust with me. we both had a cup of tea, just with a single spoonful of honey. very yummy!so, when it was time to go, mum FORCED :( me to walk to the car, where we said our byes. kerry drove me to pinelands, but parked rather awkwardly, so i had to hobble a few steps to my chair. vincent had me walk in to the bed, gave me a nice comfy massage, and had me walk back out. time was then 5:40. i guess that's a usual treatment time. i read a mag for a lil while until kerry returned, and we got back into the car. kerry kindly shared with me a piece of 10c bubblegum she got at the newsagents, then proceeded to FLOG me in the art of bubble blowing. i mean, mine were but PEA-shaped, hers were the size of grapes on steroids! :P lol.
so, we tootled home. mum met us there, and as i needed to pee, FORCED :( me to walk into the bathroom then FORCED me to walk back out where we all sat down to watch 7's evening news. so, i think tonight will be 12 or 13 degrees. not bad! anyways, dear dad just rang, and he's coming home now :) so, after the news was over, mum ordered "bike time." as i've said, she'll owe 30000 rotations if she keeps this up by sunday. so i pedalled, and when i was done, hopped off.mum FORCED :( me to walk over and sign the paper for kerry, then FORCED :( me to walk her to the door and say our bye and thanks. then, mum FORCED :( me to plod another 4-6 or so laps, b4 marching me to the piano, where she MADE my left hand practise for 15 mins, the last few on playing 'hot cross buns' with the pointer ONLY. that done, i was allowed to pop back online, but not for too long, coz mum warns i've already spent some time online already. ah well, i'm sure it'll be long enough to enable me to watch the newest episode of naruto and mybe some news, too. okies, nite!
cheers,

thursday post8

hi! so i plodded 1487 steps today. still going strong :P
so, woke up late this morning nice and late, only to have daddy bear laugh at me. "daddy gave me a BIGGER kiss than you this morning,"says he, "meaning he loves ME more." i promptly wailed a complaint to robert and shrek, so thanks to shrek who promptly FLATTENED my silly daddy bear. oh well, guess i'll just have to remember to make up with him tonight.
so, got up, went to the loo, then mum FORCED :( me to walk out to the gobbling table, where i buttered and jammed my own bread, along with a glass of plain milk. i read for awhile, then called for mum coz i needed to do a number 2. so mum FORCED :( me to walk to the loo, then FORCED :( to walk back out to the gobbling table, where she made my left hand do exercises for a good 55mins, e.g. theraputty, cups, etc. we both enjoyed a tuna with tomato and onion toasted sandwhich for lunch, with a glass of milk. then i read for a lil while until ding dong! aunty yvonne arrived. she said she'd had curry for lunch. oh, and did i tell you? think i've already, but just in case i haven't, jacinta goes to stinkerville :P just like how smelly and fi so bao did. so we started walking up and down the hallway - forwards, backwards and sideways. i admit, my bad, coz i trod on aunty yvonne's toes some. i is sorwee! ><" so, sometime in between, the doorbell rang again, and who should it be this time but aunty anne? i think she brought us some groceries, and she and mum are having a yak now. i popped online, to await ms. morcan's arrival. and i just called mum for a issue, coz the stupid nose is leaking. >, anyways, you'll prolly hear from me again tonight, so until then!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. after finishing my spate of left hand exercises, mum let me ring dear dad, who's at maroochy right now. and just b4, grandma rang. mum asked her the name of some medicine she took, and i grabbed the phone to say hi. but she says she'll ring later tonight. actually, i'll be back on tonight, but late, because i've got a massage tonight at 5pm. aunty anne just left.

then mum FORCED me to walk to the loo, b4 FORCING me to walk to the car, where off we tootled. first stop, 22 jandowae st, to pick up pole, who very kindly lent me a hat. then, 2nd stop, kuraby park, where mum took utmost pleasure in FORCING me to walk around the place, thanks to pole who supported me meanwhile, so we could have a happy chat too. i think joey's bday is on the 29th september, at matthew's on the 9th november. thanks to mum who confirmed that. then it was about time to leave, so mum FORCED me to plod back to the car, where we drove pole home. i hope we can go out with her again! think i should send her a thank-you e-card also. then we tootled home ourselves. mum FORCED me to walk inside, where my first task was to practise piano, LEFT hand ONLY. so i did, then mum let me online awhile til ursula came. too bad, at this stage she won't be coming back next wednesday! but ah well, fingers, toes and all other appendages crossed!so ursula gave me a shower first, b4 feeding me arvo tea - a pear - i saved her THE LAST SLICE -(eep, sorry, shrieking!) the phone just rang - dear dad! hehe, i quickly rolled over to grab the phone, to say hi, i love him, and bye. dad's coming home now - he was at uncle ching's place working. so, i had a pear, a cup of heavily watered down nesquik, and a delicious toasted ham, cheese and tomato sandwhich. then ursula grabbed me for some more hand exercises, b4 banishing me to practice piano, which my right hand did awhile - both pages of songs, and every major, minor, melodic minor, and chromatic scale in the book. :P ursula then took me to the loo, and we sat down to watch ten's news a 5:30, then 7's at 6. as usual, mum woke up after some telemarketer rang her, and came down to force me to ride bike for 350-odd rotations. she'll be owing 30 grand soon - come on, piggies, fly! :P i finished biking and toppled off :P well, with more grace than that, surely :P mum FORCED me to walk over to the table to sign the sheet for ursula, who i admit looked plain damn RIDICULOUS wearing that white sauce chicken hat :P she gave both mum and i a hug, and i do hope we'll see her again next wednesday!
so, after she left, mum FORCED me on another 6 laps or so of the house, then transfering me back to sparky, and forcing my left hand to practise another 15 or so mins of piano. my poor right hand wasn't even allowed to TOUCH the keys! >< then mum let me tootle online. the garage door just opened, so dear dad is home :) so i gave him a hug and a kiss, and now he's asking mum whether or not she's checked the letterbox yet (she hasn't).
so, will see you guys again toms! sadly, mum's already ruled out taking me to the PA to FORCE :( me to walk, but maybe she'll ring aunty anne and we can go to kuraby park together. i sure hope so! lol, but first i still bags the right to sleep till 9am :P
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. well, in the past i wheeled into the loo, then stopped AT spongebob, then stopped BEFORE cheesebob :P now mum FORCES me to walk from the fridge level :P i hope she won't take it further and further back, i mean in no time at all i'll be in the garden, the yvonne rd, then alan cres! :s g'nite, all!

yup, so kerry came and she gave me a shower, hairwash today. actually, i went for a number 2 first b4 shower. then, arvo tea was some nice sweet strawberries and even sweeter kiwi fruit! beautiful :) i also had a cup of nazirs hot tea. silly me, i even tried sucking the teabag once i finished. believe me, it's rather bitter, not very good at all! so i won't be trying that again :P oh, almost forgot, i had a slice of cheese as well. later, i did some more hand exercises with kerry, eg squeezing grapey ball, etc. piano practice was followed by a loo trip and then the news. mum made me pedal another 350 rotations or so, i've already lost count of how money mum owes now, we're way past 20 000 already, and i've recently given up on the hope that the piggies will fly :P
we said our bye and thanks to kerry, then mum grabbed me to FORCE me on another 4-8 laps of the house. silly ankle is bearing up quite well, i'm proud to add! dear dad came home and whipped up dinner for us, so tonight i had rice, some bok choy, a piece of beef and one of chicken too, and a yummy cup of heavilywatered-down pear juice. i then tootled over, where mum spent forever and then some trying to get into that family safety thing. i even tried creating a new live ID just for that purpose, but to no avail. so, finally, mum just gave up and deleted the whole thing.
anyways, that's all from me tonight. see you guys toms - i think ursula's coming ... wonder what nasty thing we'll do to one another? hehe we'll keep it low key, i promise!
anyways, off to my livejournal now, then that harvey norman site if there's still time. goodnite!

breakkie done, mum was hanging up the washing or sth similar, so aunty joanne helped me to walk out to the car. mum came in eventually, and off we tootled to the PA, listening to michael leung. i have to remember to check out his website afterwards!once there, mum dropped aunty joanne and i down and went to park the car. aunty joanne helped me to walk in, and took me to the loo, b4 walking me to the day hospital physio. lynelle met us there; i said bye to mum and aunty joanne, and physio started! so, first, just general walking up and down the parallel bars. then we did some walking without them, and even crouched on the mats for some mat work. last of all, i had a go on the arm bike. my poor left hand fingers were a bit pinched, but oh well. twas only for awhile. and mum's gone to pig again :P all done, linelle walked me over to the chairs to await mum and aunty joanne's arrival. i also saw janelle and mrs. mouse, who said she'd already bid bob a happy bday. janelle said she hadn't yet, but would pop down during lunch to buy him a lil gift or sth. so, they returned soon, mum then FORCED me to walk into BIRU to give bob his gift and bid him a very happy bday. he told me he wasn't having a party, but that his wife was going to take him out to dinner tonight. i might go send him a bday ecard aftertwards too! on our way out, we met a nurse that said she looked after me while i was in 2C. mum says her name's laura. so, mum finished FORCING me walk back out to the car, still listening to michael leung. actually, she'd rung dominoes while we were sitting at the foyer entrance to the hospital. we pulled up at dominoes, where mum picked up our 1 pizza in a very flash looking black box! we then tootled home, still listening to michael. once home, mum FORCED me to walk in. i needed to pee, so she FORCED me to walk in and FORCED me to walk to the gobbling table afterwards. lunch time! a DELICIOUS bbq chicken and bacon pan pizza!thanks to mum who handed me 3 slices, while she and aunty joanne had 2 and a 1/2 each. i washed mine down with a cup of milk, while mum and aunty joanne shared a can of coke. aunty joanne was a champ and even gifted me with a piece of extra chicken and a piece of extra bacon! as i've said, a full tummy is a happy tummy. :P mum had me wipe the table as we said our thanks and bye to aunty joanne. then mum FORCED me to walk over to sparky, where she kindly let me online, at 2pm, meaning after kerry comes and goes, i'll have an hr remaining online.
anyways, i don't think aunty yvonne can make it toms, and i can't remember if pole said the 1:30pm walking date with her was toms or thurs. oh well. no biggie. anyways, am off to send bob his birthday ecard and go read the news, or sth. bye!

sunday post3

hi! ok, i plodded 2682 today. still plodding hard. :) but i do warn, that pedometer IS incorrect, coz silly me dropped it once in the bathroom and it went haywire ><
so, got up this morning. mum FORCED me to walk to the gobbling table :P where i had a piece of toast with a lil marg and strawberry jam plus a cup of plain milk for breakfast. i also gave dear dad's father's day card to him too, along with his present. then, dad FORCED me to walk to the car, where off to the church we tootled. sorry, but i can't remember either the speaker's name nor what he talked about. >< oh! thankee to aunty a who remembered that it was 'steve nation'.anyways, mum forced me to stand during worship but refused to buy me a drink at lunch afterwards. oh well :( that done, dad kindly wheeled me up to the main church (err... is that called the manse? or is the manse the bottom bit? anyone?) once there, parents FORCED me to walk the steps (only 3 or 4, i think, it's alright) and sit down near the side entrance. we heard the testimonies of 2 ppl, ross and some girl, i don't know her name, sorry! ross was funny, he said uncle steven SMACKED him >< and had a jacket so old it was covered in MOULD. the girl said how her dad (maybe his name was sth like thomas?) once took a long long walk just to kiss her goodbye as she went on school camp, or sth similar. EEP!ANYWAY, TESTIMONIES OVER, (sorry, shrieking><), parents FORCED me to walk out, where mum kindly got me a little bikkie - well, half a cracker, really - and some milk. i talked to uncle alan ('lun bak bak', how cute! :)and thanks to aunty anne who traded me one of those happy father's day cards to one of the ones I had written. then dad wheeled me back down to the car, where off to the state school where teens fellowship used to be we trundled. parents wheeled me in, then FORCED me to walk up the steps and sit beside aunty a for the speaker's talk on post-modernism. we sang happy bday for belissimo afterwards, and i scored a very nice little slice of chocolate cake with a strawberry :) yum!oh, i did the 'hip hips' for after the bday song, of course, but silly julz added a 4th one after i'd finished. of course, no-one answered. :P mum came to pick me up, FORCING me to walk down the stars. dad met us at the foot of the stairs, and FORCED me to walk to the car, where off to plaza we tootled. we got an underground park, and parents FORCED me to walk inside. i was big hungry! anyways, i recommended the KFC snackbox to pole, while mum went to get her 2 meat 3 veg and a plain kebab for me, with no extras, of course. too bad, she also refused to buy me a yummy drink, even though i'd already stood for worship when she made me. ah well, my life sucks. get used to it. so i just stuck to some nice water. dad had KFC, of course, but kindly gave me a chip or 2. we talked to some uncle with kids and swapped email addresses, um, silly me forgot who >< but we also had a prayer with him and held hands. oh! i remember now! it was uncle ken, and they no longer live in tenah merah, but in the city now. and how cool is this? michael's chosen to drive a motorcycle, but he's already crashed b4. TWICE. >< oh, i pray that he stays safe! 'spastor roger also came for a quick chat, and told me just to call him 'uncle' roger, and his wife, 'aunty' helena. well, either that or just 'helen', i'll have to remember to ask him next time we meet. they had a good laugh when originally i asked if uncle roger was a 'pastor', would she be a 'pastoress'? they just laughed. :P
so, lunch over and time, to go, parents FORCED me to walk back down to the car, then FORCED me to walk back inside the house when we arrived. i needed to pee, so was FORCED to walk in and FORCED to walk back out to my bedroom afterwards to be put down for a nap to await kerry's arrival. so, when she came, mum and dad headed out to baddy, giving both me and daddy bear a kiss first. but my silly bear can't laugh - coz i got my kiss FIRST. BEFORE him. ha. so kerry kindly gave me "10 more mins, zzz" then got me up and gave me a shower, hair wash today. arvo tea was some strawberries, a yummy kiwi and a cup of tea. they were so sweet! we sat down to watch the news, until mum and dad came home. kerry took me to the loo once more, i signed the sheet for her, and we said our bye and thanks. i'm in sparky, so i went back inside to watch thank god you're here as dad whipped up dinner. ding dong! aunty a arrived, so we had dinner. rice tonight, with yummy fish, a piece of chicken, and some vegies, of that i'm sure. mum gave me a cup of watered-down pear juice, then put in the password so i could tootle online.i came on around 8, so i've got a good 1 1/2 hrs to go yet. so i shall watch naruto and send an email to pole, coz i think she said she'd go walking at the park with us on thurs. souns good to me! righteo, have a great week, everyone!
cheers,
em. ^^

saturday post5

ok, so i plodded 8585 steps today. i honestly can't be bothered to type properly anymore ... no-one gives a DAMN. actually, at first i had said sth else. dad FORCED - yes, i know he doesn't like me using that word, but tough. he can live with it. anyways, dad FORCED me to walk to the gobbling table :P where he very nicely made me some ham and eggs for breakfast. washed down with a glass of milk, i was ready to sit down to read and wait for mum to come home and have lunch together, but who should come spoil the party but uncle wallace? meaning, first session:OT. i add, he is also NOT WELCOME next week. sorry if that sounds rude, but that's my life. anyways, mum came home and we enjoyed lunch together. mum then hit the bed, as i waited for vincent the physio to come. second session:PT. he had me walking up and down, sometimes without splint but only sport's tape, other times with it back on. when he left, kerry gave me a shower first, with no hairwash today. she put me back in uggies when we finished, then fed me a delicious toasted ham and cheese sandwhich - yum! i also had some strawberries and some nice sweet kiwi fruit, b4 we started on more exercise. urgh, i've already complained hpow unfair it is that i'm the only one who has to do exercise, but there's nothing i can really say about my really sucky life. just go get used to it. *sigh* so, i also practised piano some and went to the bathroom once, b4 settling down to watch the news. mum woke up, and immediately got me to bike pedal, so she now owes 21350 rotations. come on, piggies, fly! :P i signed the sheet for kerry, we said our thanks and bye, then mum FORCED me on more walking practice as dear dad whipped up dinner. so, tea tonight was rice, a lil piece of chicken, and some vegies plus some really nice fish, all washed down with a cup of watered down pear juice. this time, after dinner, it was dad who FORCED me on laps more of walking practice, b4 i was only allowed to pop on for 30mins. i have no hopes of ever re-gaining my 90mins either. oh well ... might have time to very quickly check email though, so gnite and hope to see you at church on sunday!
cheers,
em. ^^

friday post6

hi!, ok, so i plodded 4101 steps today. not bad, huh?
firstly, i'm happy to report that both daddy bear and i got a kiss from dear dad this morning. actually, he came and kissed me first, then picked my sweet daddy bear up. "he need one too?" dad asks. i nodded, along with daddy bear's yelled "YES!!!!!!!!!!!" so we both happily went back to sleep.
later, mum dug me up after "10 more mins ...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" and FORCED me to walk out to the gobbling table :P i buttered and put some strawberry jam on my own toast, along with a plain glass of milk. i then showed mum the photo i wanted to get for dad. she took it, then FORCED me to walk into the loo for a quick pee, b4 FORCING me to walk to the car. so off to plaza we tootled, listening to michael leung. once there, mum FORCED me to walk uphill >< there, where she FORCED me to walk to the photo frame place, where the man there told me that there was no "daddy's little girl" photo frame, but showed us some cups and coasters, i think it's called. i chose dear daddy the cup, and a cool design to go with it. we paid lots for it! but like julz said, it's from the heart. so then, mum FORCED me to walk ALL the way back to cafe mi, where she had an A meal with a cold horlicks - i thopught it was too sweet - and i had a B meal, with a cold milk tea - mum thought it was too strong. all finished, mum FORCED me to walk to the car, and who she we bump into but julz and pole! only 2 of many more ppl we saw at plaza:aunty anne, aunty fiona (phillip's mum) aunty anna chow, aunty susannah and uncle simon, kat (who's returning to the US soon), aunty susan - who knows my name! coz she came with our soups - me a yummy chicken and corn one, mum a horrible paw paw one :P aunty brannie, who's promised to knit me a pair of socks! so, a good 10 ppl! pole was enjoying a pearl milk tea and julz a passionfruit with pearl, and they helped me walk out. we said cya tonight, and tootled home. back home, mum FORCED me to walk in, and i popped online. mum's gone to ring kerry now, coz it's past 3pm and she's still not here! wonder why ...? oh well, gone to send my weekly report to the physios! vincent the physio's coming tonight. oh well, i hope he'll let me off after walking 3 rounds. well kerry 's said she's coming! and mum keeps humming that duet michael leung sings with that female singer. oh well, off to turn in my weekly report to the physios! hope to see most of you at UF tonight! think we're making father's day things. cool. okies, laters!

thursday post7

ok, so i did an extra 1551 steps this arvo/evening, so my new grand total for thurs is now ... 3430. yeah, 'tis looking good. !^^
so, when kerry came she brought mum a present and me a new bath sponge, so head over to my LJ if you've a spare min or two for a quick read!
so, she gave me a shower first, hairwash today. i went to the loo afterwards, b4 kerry kindly put my socks, splint and shoes back on. arvo tea was a cup of tea with a spoonful of honey, and the remainder of the pasta. mum and kerry enjoyed a cup also. i forgot the brand name of the teabag though - either 'tetley' or 'twinings', i'm sure. dad came home. together with mum, i was FORCED to walk out to kerry's car. off to vincent's we tootled. it was raining when we got there, so i transferred as quickly as i could from kerry's bomb (i mean, her car was like made in 1974. give or take a few decades :P) and kerry rather hastily wheeled me in. she handed me a gossip mag and went off nearby to go dress shopping. vincent the physio had me walk in at 5:10. one comfy massage later, he had me walk out at 5:40. kerry soon came back, saying she had no luck with the dresses - "all sold out already" - and we went home. mum met us there, and as i needed to pee, FORCED me to walk in. kerry transfered the disabled parking sticker back to mum, and then mum FORCED me to walk to the living room to watch 7's 6pm news. as previously stated, the INSTANT the sport's report was done, mum ordered "bike time." so i was forced to do a couple hundred rotations, meaning mum now owes 21400 rotations. like i've said, i still cling to the belief that pigs WILL fly! lol ... finally done, mum FORCED me to walk to the loo once more, as dear dad came home. i signed the paper for kerry, we said our thanks and bye, then mum FORCED me on another 4 or so laps. i sat down and watched 'make me a supermodel'. i don't know the SLIGHTEST about that industry ^^" but i'm rooting for a black guy called 'bakary'. hey, i wonder if his pals just call him 'bak'? lol. :P oh, almost forgot! after mum FORCED me those extra few laps, dad decided to combine with mum and make me stand on my own for awhile. but, i'm sad (not proud!><) to announce a new record. i mean, 14+mins is so definitely NOT cool. ah well, like i've said, my life sucks. get the HELL used to it. lol. so, mum called dinner time eventually and i tootled over. yum! 5 yummy pork and chives dumplings, courtesy of aunty joanne.thanks! oh, and a piece of broccoli and a cup of rather watered down pear juice. but dumplings are my fav food, so i'm happy!
righteo, mum said i've got 59 mins to go on the net. don't remember when i got on to start blogging, but there shopuld be enough time to watch the newest episode of naruto. so, cya toms arvo, guys!
cheers,
em. ^^
