saturday post

hi!, so i plodded 1200 steps today. not bad, yeah?
anyways, pig mum got up to go to work today, and also got me up to go to the pot once. i went back to pig land, and dad dug me up a few hours later, got me kitted, then FORCED :( me to walk to the gobbling table. :P anyways, i'm being called to dinner, so will be back later. time is now ... 7:08pm.
*burp* :P i'm back!it's 7:24 pm now, and dinner has been gobbled. as usual, rice tonight, with some bok choy (but don't ask me which one :P), one spoonful of yummy tomato, onion and mince, and lotsa fish, what pig mum otherwise calls 'brain food'. that was all washed down with a yummy but unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down cup of pear juice. then i took off my apron and tootled back online. so, where was i?
oh yeah. so, dear dad kindly made me some ham and eggs on toast for breakfast, which i washed down with a glass of plain milk. all gobbled up, dad FORCED :( me to walk to his truck, where off to southbank we tootledfor letty's 21st. when we got there, dad unloaded me into sparkless, and kindly pushed me a fair part of the way, b4 coming back and FORCING :( me to walk 150-odd steps or so. letty met us there - and here's a surprise - i was the 1st party guest to arrive!anyways, janice, wilfred and co soon arrived as well, and i had a chat to dear perry berry, who's working at a child care in griffith uni, nathan campus? i think. anyways, dad came back, and was about to rock off, but i indicated to him that i needed the bathroom first. so janice the jellybean came with us. dad left us at the entrance to the disabled loo, and janice rolled me in. she dakked me, i had a long tinkle, then she re-dakked me. (N.B. i'm pretty sure 're-dak' doesn't mean 'pulled my trousers back up for me' but you get the point, yeah?) i washed and dried my right hand, then janice took me back out to dad who rolled me back to the ever-growing party scene. anyways, b4 dad rocked off for the day, he totally smothered me in sunscreen first. em is a white devil :P then he rocked off, leaving me in the clutches of pole and the like. i gave my bday card to letty, dared to call her 'cabbage' just ONE last time :P( well, it just means she's safe till next year):P we sat and chatted as more and more turned up, like my best buddy pole plop, and spacey gracey, etc. :Pwhen lunch was called, i was really happy to be personally served my food by letty, as a reward for turning up first. :P a long yummy sausage, some delicious caesar salad, and other stuff that stupid me has somehow forgotten. :P thanks to pole and leanne who alternated helping me to hold my plate and getting me cups of fruit punch. gobbling accomplished :P pole helped me hobble over to the shade, where we sat taking photos and demanded that letty make a speech. she did succumb to the pressure. eventually. :P then, cake time! i was beaten to the hip hips by a guy called clinton, who has a family of 4 boys that beats aunty jenny's 4. why? coz they're really ABCD! :P so i happily gobbled my cake, and thanks to clinton who let me try a mini-pavlova, or whatever they're really called. anyways, dad came to pick me up soon after, and rolled me back to the truck, where we tootled home, listening to 97.3FM and enrique iglesias (however his last name's spelt). once home, dad re-attached the walkbelt to me, and FORCED :( me to walk back inside. dear pig mum met us at the door, and took me to the loo. to be honest, i can't remember who did the dakking and un-dakking, althougfh i suspect it was me. anyways, one long tinkle over, mum FORCED :( me to walk over to wash my right hand, then FORCED :( me to walk back to sparky. i kissed goodbye to dear dad who was heading over to uncle ching's to work, then tootled back to listen to mum instruct alma as to what to feed me, what exercises to make me do, etc. and how cool is this - turns out that alma knows dolly!anyways, i was transferred in to the showerchair first, then wheeled in for a nice hot shower - hairwash today. thanks to alma who helped me out a lot. after, she wheeled me into the loo for a quick tinkle, then got me redressed in just sandals. i tootled over for some arvo tea - a yummy juicy pear - i saved alma a slice of course - a cup of tetley's british blend sweetened with just a spoonful of honey,and a yummy chocolate harsiubing. alma got herself a cup of coffee, and we sat down for a chat. turns out she rings and talks to her 2yr-old son every sunday, and that the little tyke likes to run around starkers after a shower, lol! :P she's a vegetarian - not a vegan - and her husband works at a cafe. also, that they eat a lot of bread, and while the indians and pakistani speak the same language, they write differently. we started on some hand exercises after, mainly theraplaydough :P i did ask her my usual question of who does more/less than i do, but i admit, i can't remember her answer. so, at 6pm, she flipped the news on, and we watched it on 7 together. when it was over, she put my socks, splint and shoes opn for me, and took me to the loo once. back out, i signed the sheet for her, and we said our thanks and byes. i hope she can come to help me sometime again!
yeah, then you know the rest of the story. dear dad's gone off to uncle tyrone's presumably to watch some more soccer. i'm due off at around 9:10pm, so just plan to read the news, nothing else really much. anyways, i hope to see you all at church toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. ohh ... toms, i don't think anyone will be coming to help us toms, as i'm going to the baptism - janice is getting baptised! actually, dear pole plop got baptised after i fell ill. anyways, i hope to get baptised once i'm well and truly back on my feet. oh, and just a last wish - that dear pig mum will give me a nice hot shower toms, as opposed to a barely lukewarm one. fingers are crossed, but hopes aren't up. cya!
P.P.S.on a note of complaint, the stupid nose started leaking this arvo, and hasn't stopped. AT ALL. hmph. >< i mean, sheesh, i already took a garlic tablet this arvo! ><
