father's day post

good evening, and welcome to my 300th post! i wonder how long i can keep this going?
anyways, TWFT topic was if you don't - who will? spam count for the weekend is 59, and em was hard at work plodding 4337 steps today. anyways, what happened since my last post?
PIG mum took me to the loo once before dad tootled us off to baddy. on arrival, the parents (well, really, just PIG mum, dad went ahead to set up my chair for me gleefully Made (5th and last time) me walk into my chair. i collapsed into it with relief and promptly rested tired me for 20 odd mins. the parents dug poor em up and forced her to play 67 shots. in three or four goes, of course! not all at once! poor em would surely perish :P lol, PIG mum said that dad said, that if i played more shots, he'd take me out for dinner. dunno how many shots he'll require of me, so i'll have to say a 'no deal!' to that right now. anyways, i just had a chat to peter pie and stuff, who's on a full year's worth of work right now, at milton. and how cute - aunty peggy still makes his lunch for him! lol, i've been making my own ever since upper primary. :P
when it was time to leave, parents made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of friday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out back to the car, and dad tootled us home, listening to rush of fools. back home, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of friday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk into the laundry for my shower, of course forcing me to undress all of myself before she gave me a warm shower - i washed my own hair. poor ela was forced to scrub various parts of me a whopping 135 times! (i counted 140, PIG mum insisted that it was only 130, so i compromised it in the middle). i dried myself, rekitted myself. PIG mum finished off with the things i couldn't do, then she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of friday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)me walk out to the gobbling :P table for dinner.
-vermicelli, not rice, tonight! with a big chunk of sweet carrot, a smaller chunk of yummy potato, and a soft chunk of beef. yummiest thing tonight was a widdle piece of crumbed fish, with a squirt of mayo from dearest dad. actually, he kindly gave me one more little chomp as PIG mum was forcing poor em to walk back over to the computer. lol, and he just wandered past and asked mournfully, "do you still love me?" :P
dinner was washed down with a yummy mug of fruit and vegie juice, which i was extremely careful to hold 'correctly'. i only allow myself the luxury of holding it incorrectly once a day, remember, same as with putting my right foot charlie chaplin style for one car trip a day. (well, on thursdays, i actually get 2, when karen drives me to and from garbo). anyways, after dinner, PIG mum made(PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of friday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the switches, forced poor em to bend awkwardly to flick on the computer switch, then made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of friday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)me walk back over to my computer chair.
-phew, i finished! so i'll just check, say heylo to my online MSN buddies, stick this post on my taleofepic2 journal(today's an 'event', remember?),then get me a good fix of news. just UQ physio toms, and hydro in the arvo.>< i'll survive. finally, i'll be asking PIG mum if she'll leave the modem on and let me pop online with lappytoppy. i realise the chances of the sky turning somerville green are infinitely higher than my chances at popping online with lappytoppy, :P but hey, i'll persist. this will be my THIRD week of attempting, though. everything crossed! oh yeah - and hope everyone has a great week!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 2 errors in my post tonight.
P.P.S. i also rang leanne tonight! best of all, she's given me permission to have lunch at fasta pasta with PIG mum and lee! also, she says to check my bday fic carefully - coz kakashi did sign it too! just on the next page. :P

ANZAC day post

good evening! my final plodding total for today officially stands at 1525.anyways, what happened after karen came ...
she stuck my walkbelt on me, and Forced me to walk into the laundry for a shower. no hairwash today, and good to hear that i'm only a little spotty on my chin. i had a tinkle before karen flipped the water off. then i got dried and had nivea creme slathered all over me before i got redressed and karen Forced me to walk back out to the dining hall. i read for awhile as she prepared my arvo tea; a toasted cheese - thanks karen! 2 slices! - ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into 4 triangles, and a cup of tea sweetened with 2 teaspoonfuls of honey. i read for awhile, karen gave my left hand and arm a massage, then at 5;30 she Forced me to walk over to the piano and practise for half an hour. my right hand played every major, minor, melodic minor and chromatic scale plus all the christmas carols that i could remember, then my right hand supported my left hand in thunking out twinkle twinkle 3 or 4 times. at 6pm, karen Forced me to walk back to the gobbling table, and fed me half a glass of milk plus one of my easter eggs - this one oozed some yummy caramel! oh, and a NOT HAPPY, JAN! to whichever one of the support workers from whichever agency that decided that i shouldn't be allowed to watch the 6pm news anymoe, because that little half hour means i am not interacting with my carer. well, just for the record, i am! like, i'll mention if the person speaking has a funny name, or if the story being covered provokes some thoughts. anyways *sigh* i guess i'll just have to get my news from news.com.au from now on. i then trounced karen 3 games to none at uno, before at 6;45pm, she Forced me to walk to the loo, Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but kindly helped me dry it - and Forced me to walk back to the gobbling table. i signed her off and said my thanks and byes at 7pm; she'll be back next thursday. i hope she remembers her promise to bring me a courier mail! to make up for the fact that i'm not llowed to watch the 6pm news anymore :( she's got friends over for tea tonight, and will be having a lamb roast. anyways, dinner was soon called; rice tonight, with lotsa bok choy, some beef, and some 'barra-barra-barra-mundi?':P (as called by PIG mum). washed down with a cup of some yummy, if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down juice. i mean, i understand that my mum waters down my pear juice (actually, i don't. WHY does she do that? ><) then PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the computer desk, and ripped my socks, splint and shoes off.
anyways, i'm glad i finished! i'll just go stick this in my taleofepic2 blog then cram in a few news articles if i have the time, ok? hope to see everyone at church toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post

good afternoon! no plodding total from me yet, coz my day's not done. still got physio this arvo. >< ah well, patience and perserverance, i'll get through. let's just get started!
-em got up this morning, and felt like doing a stinky unspeakable, so much thanks to PIG mum who wheeled me in, brought me a glas of water, and helped me to wipe afterwards.
-back in my room, i got kitted for the day, then PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to my TV armchair.
- i started watching the news, as uh oh. cathay failed us! >< mum rang around, telling people that she didn't need anyone NEXT week, not this! but too bad. no one came. ><
-so i watched the news. PIG mum felt like being a bit nasty, forcing me to bend, stand, etc. to reach for the remote to change channels. i turned the volume up a bit too, only to be yelled at and ordered to turn it back down. so i complied.
-PIG mum brought my brunch over - two yummy fish fillets, mashed up and supposedly with some mayo. sadly, i couldn't taste any, but if PIG mum says she squeezed some, i have no reason not to believe her.
-after the lunch, PIG mum forced me on a whole HOUR's worth of hand exercises, culminating in a walk up to my bedroom and back down. sorry, it should only have been 55 mins, as dear dad rang us. :) he says he's at chermside.
-i popped online for an hour. i'll try to get my other hour's worth before house tonight. but the preview said someone would die! >< please, please, please! don't let it be chase! he's my favourite character!
-hey, i hope evelyn keeps good on her promise to take me out for icecream! if she doesn't, i guess i'll just haveta nag PIG mum please for a bowl. but, i've noticed, for the past month or so - the bowls are getting smaller and smaller and smaller! ><
-hope to see you guys tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^

em and bear bear were happy pigs all last night. i did call out for PIG mum once at 4am to use the pot, and once more later when i felt like i wanted to do a stinky unspeakable. so much thanks to PIG mum who plopped me into the showerchair, wheeled me into the loo, and gave me a glass of water to drink. oh, and helped me wipe too. then i plopped back into bed, and cuddled my darling bear bear for another round of snoring. :P
time to go, PIG mum dug me up, got me kitted, then made (PLEASE GO NOW! to the beginning of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car. dad tootled us off to shangri-la (sp?) for lunch. he parked, then parents FORCED :(first time) me to catch the lift in and walk inside.
i took a seat, and waited for the kwok family. when they arrived, i waggled my fingers on my nose to say hi to uncle calvin - he says we've been doing that since i was like 4 or 5 years old. when our name/number was finally called, PIG mum made (PLEASE GO NOW! to the beginning of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk into our table and sit down. PIG mum sat to one side of me, dear pole plop the other.
-food! i got some 'cheung fun' (no idea what it is in english), this vegetarian thing that was surprisingly very nuce! half a custard tart, and ... there was prolly a thing or two extra, but i can't remember, sorry. ><" oh, and roughly 5/6 of a yummy charsiu bun. i refused to leave yum cha until i'd had some, see. :p
-time to go, PIG mum paid (pole yelled at her coz she'd paid for my bday dinner, too, and pole argued that it was their turn to pay)
-PIG mum made(PLEASE GO NOW! to the beginning of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back down to our car.
-we said our byes to the kwok family, and dad tootled us home, listening to anthony callea.
-PIG mum made(PLEASE GO NOW! to the beginning of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk inside. i went to the loo, so of course she forced me to dak myself and forced me to pull up my own trousers afterwards.then she made (PLEASE GO NOW! to the beginning of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, b4 she made (PLEASE GO NOW! to the beginning of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back outside, where she handed me over to dad. somehow, he took offence with the way i walked, and promptly Forced me on another 3-4 lap circuit of the house b4 i was allowed to tootle online.
-anyways, amanda will get here in ten mins or so; even better, we're invited to the cheubg's house for dinner tonight! trust me, aunty winnie is a great cook! good timing, amanda's just arrived! anyways, hope everyone has a GREAT easter monday!
cheers,
em. ^^

good evening, all! no plodding total from me yet, as i haven't walked to and from dinner, so let me just laugh and bid everyone a very happy april fool's day! i haven't played any jokes on anyone (even though i'm really tempted to try one on aunty a :P) oops, sorry, am being summoned for dinner, so i'll bbl, ok? time is now ... 6:59pm.
*burp* i'm back! time is now 7:20pm, and dinner tonight; spaghetti cooked by dearest dad, lotsa carrot, potato, tomato and a bit of bok choy, and a small but yummy bit of chicken. washed down with just a cup of water, in the pretty mug letty gave me for my 22nd! anyways, the cool thing is, since it's april fools day, and therefore an 'event', i get to type it all out in full and stick it on my taleofepic2 blog too! cool :P righteo, let's go:
em was a happy pig this morning, coz ping wasn't coming till 11am. PIG mum came to dig me up, then made (please refer to the beginning of thursday's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the living room.
-breakfast was a full glass of water, followed by a cup of milk, as PIG mum kindly flipped on nine's morning news for me, as ding dong! ping arrived!
-so i watched the news as ping set to making dumplings, then at 12 midday i scooted to the gobbling table :P and ping fed me lunch: 10 yummy boiled dumplings (strange, she doesn't know how to fry them, i wonder why?) with a small bowl of soya sauce (not a whole bowl, of course, sheesh :P but still loads better than the half a drop that PIG mum usually ever-so-grudgingly gives me) and a cup of cold milo. i then read my janny wurts novel for awhile, ping kindly gave my left arm a massage, and i read ping's report for her. then i needed to go pee. >< so ping Forced me to walk to the loo, Forced me to go wash my right hand - though she very kindly helped me to dry it - and Forced me to walk back to my armchair. when PIG mum came home, ping and i traded emails b4 she left. PIG mum promptly forced me on a few minutes of hand exercises, b4 she made (please refer to the beginning of thursday's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the computer table, where i tootled online for awhile b4 evelyn arrived. when she did, i stopped in my search for open learning courses, and evelyn Forced me to walk to the laundry for my shower. she ordered me to dak myself, so i complied, then she gave me a nice hot shower - hairwash today. i got dried, redressed, then evelyn handed me my stick and Forced me to walk out to the dining room. arvo tea was a yummy sausage bun - of course, i chewed off all the bread first - and a cup of bushell's australian breakfast. too bad, PIG mum said she'd only put a teaspoon of honey into it, so it tasted a bit like coloured water, but oh well. after i ate, PIG mum made (please refer to the beginning of thursday's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to evelyn's car - she drives a red ford lazer, i think. PIG mum then enjoyed herself immensely by saying that evelyn's boot was way too small to fit in my wheelchair, so i resigned myself to more walking. evelyn parked, then Forced me to walk into unique physiotherapy. i browsed a better homes and gardens magazine until it was my turn. vincent the physio Forced me to walk in. i took off my shoes, splint, and socks as ordered, then complied with doing all the various arm exercises that vincent the physio ordered me to. but hey, i now have another reason to walk and work hardapart from going back to celebrate dad's mum's 90th birthday and to give mum's mum a massage - vincent the physio says that he and kat jie jie will be going back to hong kong this year to celebrate their wedding and have a banquet, and he says, if i can walk back to HK, he'll invite me to it! he assures me there's lotsa food, too :P anyways, we finished with some standing exercises, then he slipped my sock,splint and shoe back on, before he Forced me to walk back out where he handed me back to evelyn. i said my thanks and byes to him, reminded him not to show up tonight :P then evelyn Forced me to walk back out to her car. she tootled us home, still listening to B105. PIG mum met us at the door, and she made (please refer to the beginning of thursday's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back into the lounge room. i told her that i was hungry, so she gave me 1 and a 1/4 cracker (even though i politely asked for 2) and evelyn cut me up a pear, of which PIG mum pinched 2 slices. we watched the leftover of ten's news, then switched to 7's at 6pm, read out by rod young and kay mcgrath, sport by pat welsh, and weather by john schluter. evelyn Forced me to walk to the toilet after the news. she also ordered me to dak and un-dak myself afterwards. i'm not really sure why, usually, if i get ordered to, i ask if my carer can help me pull up my left side while i pull up my right, but for some reason, evelyn refused, so i just did it all myself. then she Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but kindly helped me dry it - then she Forced me to walk back to my chair at the computer. when she left (she'll be back next wed), i sufed online for awhile until PIG mum called dinner, and made (please refer to the beginning of thursday's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the gobbling table. :P aunty a prayed for us, and me, then we tucked in!after dinner, PIG mum made (please refer to the beginning of thursday's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the computer, and i went back online to finish my blog. phew, and i finished just in time to watch house, too! anyways, i'd better go stick this in my t6aleofepic2 blog, then go for house. i'll try to remember a favourite line for toms. goodnite, all!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i just realised, i forgot to put my bday post in here entirely! >< whoops, my bad ... will try to do so toms :P ok, house time! bye!

valentine's day post

good evening, all! so, em plodded 1254 steps today, or 370m, or burnt 43.1 calories :P firstly, regarding last night:

-flex left bicep up, approx 10x
-flex left bicep up and hold for 10 secs
-whole left arm upright approx 10x
-hold whole left arm up for approx 10 secs.
anyways, today's valentines day, so i'm going to use the excuse that it's an 'event' and type it all out in full! :P
firstly, much thanks to dear dad who woke up in the middle of the night and came in to let me go in the pot once. of course, he also forced me to dak and re-dak myself, but oh well...
on a positive note, i managed to take myself to the loo once this morning without falling to my death! of course, silly me knocked the tissues over, meaning that i had to call dear dad for help >< but still!
anyways, tonie and i snored our heads off this morning, until PIG mum came home. she got me kitted, then gleefully made (please refer to monday's post to read what i really want to say but have been too heavily censored by PIG mum><) me walk out to the gobbling table.:P i bid a happy hello to dearest dad (who's just rung PIG mum on his own mobile, lol! then i took a seat for brunch - last night's leftovers. of course, PIG mum forced my left hand to hang onto the bowl as i ate. then thanks to dear dad who made me a cup of chocolate nesquik. it was only with one teaspoon, not 2, but oh well ... then PIG mum gleefully made (please refer to monday's post to read what i really want to say but have been too heavily censored by PIG mum><) me walk over to the couch, where she put in the DVD that aunty wendy had kindly lent us. it's in korean, so i read the english subtitles, but lol! they're all wrong! which led me to wonder if 'midder kim' had done them. :P anyways, vincent the physio soon popped along, meaning first session:PT. he dragged me walking around and around the house with my stick, and asked me why i was so emotional/teary every time he came. susan came too, and gave me a shower - hairwash today. it was in my showerchair with the wheels, so if i get one more toms, i'll go back to alternating with the showerchair without the wheels. i wentfor a tinkle afterwards, then got redressed and switched back to sparky. tootling over for arvo tea, i got a yummy sausage bun and a cup of tetley's australian breakfast, sweetened with a single spoonful of honey. i read for awhile, susan wrote sth on my whiteboard, and at 5pm she flicked on 10's news. sports tonight hosted by rob kanning followed at 5:30, then at 6pm was 7's evening news, read out by sharyn ghidella, sport by ben davis (i think), weather by talitha cummins and beach by liz cantor. weather should be all fine toms, but i forgot what temperature, sorry. susan fed me 3 half crackers, a pear, and half a glass of milk. she took me to the loo afterwards, then coz she'd forgotten her sheet, i just said my thanks and byes. she'll be back toms. coz it's valentine's day, she'll be going out with some friends for dinner tonight. but the poor thing! not only is she lactose intolerant - why she had some rice green tea this arvo - but she's allergic to PORK! eep, imagine to forever be denied the joys of a charsiu bun ... :P
anyways, PIG mum's about to call dinner, so i'll be back to write about what i had. fingers crossed for some decent lunch toms - i want a tower burger from KFC! - and i hope to see you all at church toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. dinner tonight: rice, lotsa choy sum ,some beef and a yummy, if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down, pear juice. of course, PIG mum forced my left hand to hang onto the bowl as i ate.

Firstly, I’m having to type this in a word document, coz the net’s not working. >< PIG mum has loudly claimed that she has already turned the modem on, that it can’t be her fault … oh well. Guess I’ll just haveta keep trying. Anyways, regarding last night (i type it all out in full once every thursday, so that'll be toms.:
-just repeat everything that I typed out on Thursday. Still the same. >< oh, bar one thing:
-after a tinkle, PIG mum took pity on me and helped me to yank my daks up.
Anyways, today’s an EVENT! (my dearest daddy’s bday!) so I get to type it all out in full!
Well, I noticed that cousin teresa, uncle dick and franco made it to our place at 12:20am. Cousin teresa did pop in to bid me a happy hello, and franco raced in too, for a few seconds. Then I snored my head off, with my chilli PIG sausage snoring louder. PIG mum came to dig me up this morning, (again, no surprise here, apparently she had such a PERFECT sleep she never woke up to let me go to the loo), got me kitted, then gleefully made me walk out to the gobbling :P table. I kissed my beloved dad a very good morning and a great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Then I settled down to breakfast – much thanks to dear dad who’d made us all some ham and eggs on toast, which I had with a plain glass of milk. Uncle dick made his way downstairs, so I could greet him properly, then their family started getting ready for their day out at dream/movieworld.PIG mum kindly popped me a fish oil, a bilberry, a cranberry, and 2 panadol, coz I was moaning of a headache. Then, time to go, she gleefully made me walk out to the car, where off to the logan north library we tootled, listening to jacky cheung’s ‘black’ CD. When we arrived, PIG mum transferred me to sparkless, and I wheeled myself in, PIG mum kindly providing some steering. Once in the meeting room, PIG mum gleefully made me walk in, and I took a seat. Thua began our second session. I took lotsa notes – the funniest thing was when the speaker told me he’d buy me 10 pairs of nike shoes if I’d just give him the winning lotto numbers. :P morning tea time, I wanted to pee, so PIG mum got to happily make me walk back to sparkles, and I wheeled myself into the loo. After a tinkle, I wheeled myself over to wash and dry both hands as PIG mum used the loo herself. Then I wheeled myself back to the meeting room, and snacked on 4 bikkies. PIG mum kindly made me and herself a cup of coloured water, and the session recommenced. When it finished, we broke up for the week, and I wheeled myself once more to the loo. Actually, another lady also in the STEPS program also wanted to use the loo, so she took the disabled toilets, even though she can walk just fine. Meaning PIG mum gleefully made me walk into the ladies loo and gleefully made me walk back out. I pushed myself back to the car, and PIG mum tootled us home, this time listening to westlife.of course, PIG mum gleefully made me walk in once we’d arrived, and I sat back down into sparky and rang dear dad. lunch was my favourite thousand-year-old-egg congee from aunty anne, and i washed that down with a glass of plain milk. after lunch, PIG mum decided that she was kicking me to bed, so i complied. i set the alarm to go off after an - argh, i've just lost heaps of my post! >< hour, but trust PIG mum to be SNEAKY and flick it off after i'd fallen asleep. i woke up though, around that time, and called for mum to allow me online, but she refused. >< oh well. so i slept until bernie came, and PIG mum told bernie to let me sleep till 5pm. so i snored happily away, until bernie prodded me up at 5pm. she switched me to a showerchair, and wheeled me in for a shower - hairwash today, plus a nice comfy scalp massage. so yeah, my brain's all been sucked out now. :P i went for a tinkle afterwards, then got redressed and swapped back into sparky. i tootled over for arvo tea - a toasted ham, cheese - score! bernie was a legend and gave me 2 slices! so this week has been satisfied. anymore i can get will just be a bonus. and mayo sandwhich, cut into 4 triangles. i also had a cup of australian breakfast tea, sweetened with a single spoonful of honey. bernie made herself a toasted cheese sandwhich and a cup of tea herself. as i was eating, it was already 6pm so she flicked on 7's news for us, read out by rod young and sharyn ghidella, sport by shane webcke, and weather by talitha cummins. bernie took me once more to the loo after the news, then i came out and signed her off. teresa, uncle dick and franco came home soon after, franco wearing this really cool red hat which i promptly asked him for permission to try and took a photo with! then i tootled back online as they all went for showers and cousin teresa started showing us what gifts we'd received from our family. dear dad called dinner, so i tootled over. rice tonight, with a piece of lettuce (i think) a mushroom and a yummy piece of chicken, which i of course saved for last. then mum popped me my pills which i drank down with a yummy, if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down pear juice. then i tootled back online.
well, i'm waiting for when parents will call me over to cut dad's birthday cake for him!i'll go put this into my taleofepic2 blog, then go read the news, i guess. goodnite!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 2 errors in my post tonight.
P.P.S. lol, i'm not sure when the next 'EVENT' in my calendar is ... perhaps, valentine's day?

australia day post

argh, 3rd time lucky. >< my silly left hand keeps falling on the escape button and wiping everything out. ><
anyways, today, PIG mum gleefully made em plod 325 steps. not a lot, i know, but i promise that there will be more toms! and, regarding last night:
-just repeat everything that i typed out on thursday. still the same. ><
anyways, today's an EVENT ( australia day AND chinese new year!), so i get to type it all out in full!
so em was a happy pig this morning, snoring along with my chilli PIG sausage. :P dear grandma rang to wish us all a happy new year, and she told me over the phone that i had a red pocket waiting for me when i got back to HK at the end of this year. i told her to just give it to baby mickey, to which she replied, 'nah, he's already got one. this one's all yours." after our phone chat, PIG mum dug me up, got me kitted then gleefully made me walk out to sparky, as ding dong! the whole fong family (haha yeah, all 3 of them) arrived to pay us a visit. so i plopped my bum into sparky and tootled over to bid them all a very happy australia day as well as a very happy chinese new year. and they'd brought me breakfast too! muesli (sp?) bars! some berry flavour, that jessie recommends. so i munched one down, with a glass of plain milk. then mum told us to go play wii. last time jessie came over, she'd already made a mii, so we jumped right into it! first, i saved myself a little dignity by beating her in the tennis, then she well and truly got me by WHOOPING me the bowling! by, like, 50 points. ><" we played 4 players, so i had myself and slam (uncle stephen) and jessie had herself and kwany. we traded red pockets b4 they left; i told dad that i was starving, so he sent me to watch the tennis as he whipped up some western fried rice. i had that with another glass of plain milk, while PIG mum gleefully made my left hand hang onto the bowl as i ate.
PIG mum rocked off to pig land, leaving me to watch some tennis - the g-string-wearing rafael nadal against ... lol, i can't remember! i watched until rafa had taken the first set, then much thanks to dad who flicked the net on and allowed me online briefly. PIG mum awoke from her snoozings, and gave me a barely-lukewarm shower, hairwash today. i was rather surprised, i admit, that she only made my left hand scrub various parts of my body 40-odd times. i rolled back online, and our guests for dinner soon started arriving. uncle tyrone was the first one, soon followed by dear pole, who had bought a grape cake, or sth like that, to share. then aunty a arrived, and last of all yancey's family, a little late coz yancey had to go ice-skating. uncle tyrone and dad fired up the BBQ, and soon we started eating. pole and some adults had the most REVOLTING :P red wine i had ever tasted, and i had some chicken wing, pork, beef and lamb. oh, and some potato salad, pasta salad, and some fresh lettuce. thanks to PIG mum who poured me a yummy, if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down pear juice. then i joined pole and yancey to watch the tennis. not for long, coz i felt nature calling me, so i told PIG mum, who immediately stopped me in my tracks, and happily made me walk to the bathroom. she also made me yank my own daks down, then left me alone to do my business, so i delivered a stinky unspeakable :P and wuped myself, b4 i called PIG mum, who happily made me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, then happily made me walk back to sparky, where she plopped me back into the couch and i watched some more tennis with pole and yancey. and, according to yancey, tsonga looks like a monkey. :P cake time, PIG mum and pole helped me back to sparkless, and i tootled over for the cake ceremony. we sang happy bday to dad and pole, (i did the hip hips, of course :P), took photos, then aunty a divied(sp?
) up the cake and served it out on yellow napkins. then, yancey set to thrashing her dad, my dad and myself in wii tennis, while i got pole to follow in yancey's stead and draw sth on our fast-filling-up whiteboard. time for everyone to go, i made pole walk along the 2 red lines dad had stuck up for me to make sure that she was still sober. :P i've rolled back online to finish my blog, then i guess it's pig time for me. :P oh, i've sent victor upstairs to keep PIG mum company at night, i'll swap her a new one every month.
anyways, so ends my post for today - we're back to the spotty points :P toms, but not for long, coz the 28th is my dearest dad's bday! goodnite!
cheers,
em. ^^

monday post

hello all! a sort of farewell, if you will. see, PIG mum has been denying me permission to write on a wide range of topics, e.g. me being 'forced' to do this, that, and whatever, bathroom trips, etcetcetc. and i therefore feel too heavily restricted. and i've decided to only post here on an 'event'. so, the next time you'll see a post here will be on jan 26th, australia day.
thanks for reading this, peoples! see you on australia day!
cheers,
em. ^^

-repeat everything everything i typed out on thursday. just an extra thing to add:
-i used my left hand to hang on to the mouthwash, i used my right hand to open it up. then i used my right hand to hold the lid of the mouthwash, i used my left hand to pour it.

-i was a happy pig this morning, with my silly daddy bear and my chilli PIG sausage. PIG mum came to dug me up and me kitted for hydro.
-she made me walk out to the breakfast table, where i did my usual routine and gobbled my breakfast of nutri-grain.

-PIG mum made me walk into hydro, where i took a seat and waited for my go.
-ann mcdonald strapped up my left ankle b4 she PLUNGED (remember, ant-slow? :P) me into the water. SPLASH! :P
-we started with some cycling, then moved onto some squats and floating. oh, and walking, of course. :P once more, i couldn't resist the urge to submerge my head into the water, but did warn ann first :p
-i was winched slowly out, and swapped to a showerchair.
-PIG mum wheeled me in for a lukewarm shower, or the afternoon).
-but no soap or anything (saving that for the afternoon).

-one more thing: ann strapped up my left shoulder for me, saying, "you're NOT ALLOWED to take it off. not unless it catches on FIRE.O_o :p
-on arrival, PIG mum plopped me back into sparkless, and i wheeled myself up to la porchetta.
-on the way, we bumped into 2 girls. goodness knows why PIG mum refuses to tell me who they were, but oh well.
-mrs dent soon arrived, and we ordered.
-our food came! i got a polo gnocchi (i'm pretty sure i spelt that incorrectly :P), PIG mum got a pizza, and mrs. dent got a pizza that, well, according to me anyway, looked more like a pie. :p mrs. dent drank a lemon lime and bitter (i think that's a fizzy drink?), PIG mum just stuck with water and i had a yummy iced chocolate. of course, the moment it arrived, PIG mum said, "let me take the cream off you, em. i know you don't like it." so she had my cream, and shared with me a crust of her pizza in return for some of my yummy pasta with mushroom (again, another thing i donated to PIG mum) and white sauce. mrs. dent also cut me a small slice of her 'pie' :P it wasn't bad!
-mrs. dent kindly shouted us (for PG mum's bday), and time to go, i wheeled myself out.
-we tootled home, still listening to josh groban.
-PIG mum happily made me walk in once we arrived, and i went to the bathroom.
-alma/aman soon arrived, switching me to the showerchair and taking me in for a shower.
-hairwash today; i introduced alma to my oven mitt! :P
-i then got redressed and swapped back to sparky, and tootled for arvo tea. a cup of tetley's british blend - actually, PIG mum says it's not anymore and that she has no idea what it really is at all. lol! :p also, a toasted sandwhich cut into 4 squares. ham, cheese - too bad, only 1 slice of cheese, so it was ENTIRELY too thin, but oh well. i'll take it when i can get it.
-i read for awhile, but then i told alma that i was sleepy, and tootled off to bed.
-sorry, PIG mum's booting me off now. so i guess this blog ends here. 200+ posts, not bad! i hope the new one can last as long! goodnite, all!
cheers,
em. ^^

-breakfast done, PIG mum popped me my drugs for the day: a fish oil, a garlic (coz she says i was exploding quite terribly ><), and a cranberry (she still hasn't found the bilberry she lost yet).
-time to go, PIG mum gleefully Forced me to walk out to the car.

-when we arrived, PIG mum parked then gleefully Forced me to walk inside. i read for awhile, b4 dunja (say it 'dun-ya) came to get me.
-i flopped on the bed, did lotsa bumlifting and reaching exercises with dunja. i think i've already said, but she says she'll try to bring in a photo of dollar in, for when i

-there's 2 indian girls there, smita and hiral; only i can never tell them apart. >< but thanks to PIG mum, who says smita is plumper :P while hiral is taller. or is it the other way around? i dunno, sorry! ><

-eep, dad's giving me my weekly tirade. >< bottom line, i have until 9:15pm to be finished with my blog. am i even near my 2 hr PUNY restriction that my parents set on me? ah well. guess i'll just have to leave the news reading and naruto watching till toms. ><
-arvo tea was a toasted ham, cheese (PIG mum forbade me a second slice, meaning that it was ENTIRELY too thin. ><, but oh well. i'll take it when i can get it) and mayo sandwhich, cut into 4 triangles, of which i of course nibbled off all the crusts first. oh, and a cup of yummy tetley's british blend, sweetened with a single spoonful of honey and cooled down with an ice cube.
-time to go, bernie offered to take me to the loo once. too bad, PIG mum overheard, meaning i got stopped in my tracks then Forced to walk into the loo, Forced to walk over to wash and dry my right hand, and Forced to walk all the way to bernie's car.
-bernie tootled us off to vincent the physios. she plopped me into sparkless when we arrived, and i wheeled myself in.
-vincent the physio stopped me in my tracks and Forced me to walk in. he delivered one comfy, if ouchy >< massage. most ouchy award for today goes to my left leg (i think it always wins) and my left shoulder. there wasn't any music in the CD player this time - vincent the physio explained that his computer had crashed - and he commented that i recently had become afraid to flip over so he can get at my back - well, i don't wanna flip too far and fall off the bed! ><
-afterwards, he snapped my splint and left shoe back on, and Forced me to walk back outside, where bernie was already waiting. i sat back down in sparkless, we said our thanks and byes, and i wheeled myself back out.
-actually, we went to coles, coz PIG mum had asked bernie to buy her a carton of no-fat milk. bernie stopped to pick up a packet or 2 of snickers pods on the way. hey, that can go on my bday wishlist! it's due out on the 1st march. and i want twix pods, not snickers. em is allergic to peanuts. ><
-we paid, i wheeled myself back to the car, and bernie tootled us home. she listens to triple M or J, which has one thing over 4KQ - it's got news on the half-hour, not the hour.
-PIG mum met us at the garage, and gleefully Forced me to walk in. i went to the toilet first, meaning that of course she got to force me to dak myself and pull my trousers back up afterwards. then she gleefully Forced me to go wash and dry my right hand, b4 she happily Forced me to walk back to sparky.

-ding dong! the whole cheung family arrived! so, first, aunty winnie grabbed me on a long range of OT left arm exercises, b4 ankle colbert :P grabbed me a-walking.
-i walked into the loo, where aunty winnie wanted to see if i had the ability to dak myself and pull my trousers back up afterwards. so i demonstrated to her.
-time to go, PIG mum happily Forced me to walk out to the car. off we drove to fasta pasta.
-on arrival, parents happily Forced me to walk in. we placed our orders: a main for uncle colbert, the one with pine nuts, my favourite fettucine cabonara for mel, i think sam got lasagne, PIG mum some white sauce thing, dear dad got some ravioli thing, and i asked if i could add some chicken with my fettucine cabonara. i drank a lipton's iced lemon tea (it even comes with a special lipton's cup! how cool~), uncle colbert and the cheung kids chose soft drinks, and the rest just stuck with water.
-our food arrived! entree's first: so i got a slice of garlic bread and a few chippies with tomato sauce.
-mains came, and we started tucking in! i traded a lil with both dad and PIG mum. actually, PIG mum kindly traded with aunty winnie's mum (who knows some english, smart woman! she lives in toronto) when her food came with red sauce. but she doesn't like/eat red sauce! >< luckily, PIG mum was there to save the day and swap with her.
-i asked for some cheese to sprinkle over my pasta; too bad, dad's long arms got to it b4 mine did, and he only put a DROP of cheese onto my pasta, giving the rest to aunty winnie. ><
oh well.
-time to go, huge thanks to ankle colbert :P who shouted us! but as i stood up, oh dear. >< em is a TINY fish in the PACIFIC ocean. ( >< dizzy, dizzy, dizzy. ><" but i recovered in time, so parents happily Forced me to walk back to the car.
-we said our byes, thanks and goodnites, then trundled off home, dad leading the way (the cheung's live very close to us, remember).
-home, PIG mum happily Forced me to walk back inside the house to sparky, and i tootled online to finish my blog. i'm not sure if i've been online for 2 hrs yet, but PIG mum says i have, so i guess i should take my leave from you guys. goodnite, all!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. yay, i get to be a happy pig toms! coz aunty wendy won't be arriving until 11am. i must remember to introduce her to and thank her for my chilli PIG sausage! he's so COOL! PIGmum's going to a lunch date with kim amos; i've already asked her to ask kim when we can get together for lunch with cassie.
P.P.S. when vincent the physio gets here, he'll drag me again to keep practise walking to pole's house. he'd better remember to keep his promise of taking me to where i ended last! hey, if i can make it to the cheung's house, aunty winnie has promised me to cook me a yummy dinner! *starts drooling*
P.P.P.S. cool - aunty nga and grandma just rang! i love my grandma the best. ^^ anyways, they told me that it's very cold but baby mickey has learnt to walk! so i said, "good. if he loses his balance and falls over, he won't hurt himself coz all his winter clothing will work as padding." :P

monday post

hello, reader! b4 i start yakking about my day, i better finish yesterday's post first:
-speaker was ross farley with the squeaky voice :P and he delivered a sermon on attitude.
-no surprises here: while i was trying to concentrate on his sermon, PIG mum was having too much fun tearing/wrenching my thumb out of its loosely clenched fist.
-no communion today, but PIG mum got to happily Force me to walk to the toilet, happily got to Force me to go wash and dry my right hand, and happily got to Force me to walk back outside.
-we had a yak with a few people and confirmed that both dear pole plop and christy jie could make it to dinner tonight.
-PIG mum happily Forced me to walk to the car.
-dear dad tumbled in, and off we tootled home, still listening to westlife's coast to coast.
-parents happily Forced me to walk in. i went to the toilet and delivered a stinky unspeakable, and wiped myself too! then PIG mum happily Forced me to walk over to wash and dry my right hand, and Forced me just as happily back to sparky.
-hmm, i think my carer - amnda - is here for today. so i'll be back after 7pm, ok? time is n w 2:49pm.
-uncle slam and anna had already arrived, so we stuck in the movie and started watching!
-oops, i've forgotten what the movie was called, but it was an old japanese film about some japanese warlord wounded and nearly dead in war. so, he commands his servants to find a double for him to pretend to be him for 3 yrs b4 telling everyone the truth. so they find a common beggar/theif to do the job.
-and i'm just back from the loo. no surprise there, PIG mum gleefully Forced me to walk there, dak myself, use my left hand to pull some toilet paper and pull my pants back up. then she happily Forced me to walk over to wash and dry my right hand, and gleefully Forced me to walk back to sparky.
-actually, the whole cheung family just came to visit! melody is doing music and some food and textile subject in grade 9 this year, and samuel will be going into grade 7! and they brought me a souvenir! it's this ADORABLE puppy-shaped USB! so kawaii! even better, i think toms night we have a dinner date at fasta pasta! yay - i must ask them - i want some chicken in my fettucine carbonara! puh-leaseeeeee?
hahaha! PIG mum: "i am stupid, but not THAT stupid."
my dearest dad: " no, you are simply STUPID." HAHAHA!!!!! so, where was i?
-ai. PIG mum says she's only giving me 10 more mins. *sigh* many days to catch up on, then. oh well.
-dear dad rocked off to get us some lunch, meaning i got: 1 piece of KFC (a drumstick, with the majority of the skin peeled off), 3 or so little chippies, and a portion of some nice yummy chicken kebab.
-after lunch, we settled down to finish the rest of the movie - called 'kage musha', if i remember correctly, or 'shadow warrior'. my favourite baby elephant came afterwards, so i said thanks and goodbye to the slams, and dolly gave me a shower first.
-i went for a tinkle afterwards, then got redressed but not transferred back to sparky, coz dolly wanted to Force me to walk over to the table.
-arvo tea: i think ... umm, a sausage bun? and a cup of tetley's british blend - with 1 teabag, 2 sugars, and 2 milk. that's how dolly puts it, anyways. :p
-dolly grabbed me on approx 40mins of hand exercises.
-we started watching the news at 5, moved onto sport's tonight, then finished with 7's 6pm news.
-dolly Forced me to walk to the toilet once more, Forced me to walk over to wash and dry my right hand, and Forced me to walk back to sparky.
-sorry, PIG mum is tired now. so she's booting me offline. ><*sigh* so, i guess i will just haveta come online toms, try and stay as long as i can, and blog about sunday, monday, AND tuesday. goodnite!
cheers,
em. ^^

sunday post

hello, the spam count for the weekend was 59, and today the parents Forced me to plod 2578 steps. anyways, regarding the past2 nights:
-oh, and a confession, first up: i admit that i chewed off the fingernails on both hands. originally, i was going to wait till the end of the month, but i couldn't last that long. so, i'll try to the end - or at least half way through, to bite them off again.
-just repeat what i typed out on thursday. no change.
ok, let's spotty points for saturday first!
-PIG mum let me go in the pot once b4 she rocked off to work for the day. i called dad 2 or 3 times to go in it again, then i happily snuggled up to my chilli PIG :P sausage and my dear daddy bear and we continued our snorings:P
-PIG mum came home, dug me up, got me kitted, then happily Forced me to walk out to the kitchen.
-i kissed my dearest dad a good morning/afternoon
-brunch was last night's leftovers with a glass of plain milk/chocolate nesquik.
-i waited for vincent the physio to arrive. when he did, he immediately noticed that i was wearing the tee they had got me on their hols!
-first session:PT. i told him i needed to walk to pole's house, so he agreed to start dragging me up there.
-i thought PIG mum would push sparkless along, but no; she just followed.
-i ended up making it to the end of yvonne rd!
-but boo hoo, on the descent my stupid left ankle started really hurting me, so vincent the physio sent mum back for sparkless and propped me up against him.
-alma passed us on her way down.
-PIG mum returned with sparkless. my knees buckeled gratefully into him, and then vincent the physio THREW me down the steep slope. :P(ouch! no, really, the poor man had to roll me slowly down. it's hard for him too, you know!)
-PIG mum kindly poured us all glasses of water as we all got back inside.
-vincent the physio says we can keep practising that when he comes back on wed. night. luckily, i think he promised he'd drive/roll me up to where we left off to keep going with it.
-alma/aman gave me a shower first - no hairwash today.
-but i must remember to keep poor mr. guri in my prayers to percy the angel/saint tonight, and send their family a get-well e-card, coz the poor man! out driving taxi until the wee hours of the morning, 5 men come and try to get in. when he explains that he can only fit 4 passengers, the louts get mad. and bash him. unconscious. >< with a broken eye-socket, too. ><
-i went for a tinkle afterwards, then got redressed and swapped back to sparky.
-arvo tea ... umm, a cup of tetley's british blend sweetened with a single spoonful of honey, and a toasted ham, cheese - score! 2 slices! - and mayo sandwhich, cut into 4 squares. alma made herself a cup of coffee and a plain toasted sandwhich, with just some marg in it.
-i read until 5pm, then alma flicked on ten's news. and fed me a cracker or 2.
-at 5:30, when sport's tonight was on, alma stuck my socks, splint and shoes back on, and took me to the loo once. coming back, she chopped me up an apple to eat.
-at 6pm, we flipped to 7's evening news.
-when that finished, alma took me to the loo once more, b4 i signed her off and we said our thanks and byes.
-to be honest, i can't really remember what dinner was, but i do know:rice, vegies and beef, all washed down with a yummy if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down pear juice.
-actually, no, my bad. parents gleefully Forced me to walk out to the car, where off to our dinner date we tootled, at the slam's residence.
-parents happily Forced me to walk in on arrival; turns out uncle tyrone was already there.
-soup first, cream of corn soup. surprisingly good! entree was these curry puff things, hence not quite to my liking. main course was lasagne, pineapple slices and veges. dessert was this really cool milk jelly. then anna poured us all some really nice rice green tea!
-dinner all gobbled up, i needed the bathroom, meaning PIG mum got to happily Force me to walk to the loo. but she was very nice indeed, and pulled my daks down and helped me yank them back up too! the trouble came as i went to wash big hands. i got dizziness. really badly. >< like i told PIG mum, "i am a LITTLE boat. in a HUGE sea." >< but it settled down after awhile, and PIG mum Forced me to walk over to the lounge. i apologised to anna that my sneakers were prolly smearing her carpet, then i flopped on her couch as she turned on SBS's iron chef for me. go chen kenichi! so the men all had a yak as we watched TV and anna introduced me to fatty hippo. he's so CUTE! fat, and yellow. so i cuddled him big and asked anna if she would bring me back one next time she went back to singapore. and she said yes - yay!
anyways, time to go, we said our thanks and byes and parents happily Forced me to walk back out to the car. we tootled home, listening to westlife's coast to coast. once home, parents happily Forced me to walk in and i did my usual nightly routine b4 i hit the sack. zzz :P
sunday: PIG mum dug me up. i got kitted, b4 she gleefully Forced me to walk out to the gobbling table. :p
-i drank the required glass of water and breakfast was a slice of bread with a ittle marg and jam with a plain glass of milk.
-time to go, parents happily Forced me to walk to the car, and off we tootled to church.
-argh, PIG mum is wrenching/tearing my thumb out of its loosely clenched fist.
-on arrival, dear dad rocked off to the canto service, leaving PIG mum to happily Force me to walk inside.
-ai, PIG mum is complaining that she is sleepy and therefore is kicking me off to bed. i mean, sheesh! i haven't been on for my MEASELY alloted 2 hrs, let alone the 3 i was going to get today and toms top make up for it. but oh well. hope everyone has a gret week!
cheers,
em. ^^

-ding dong! dolly came! so, after a toilet trip, PIG mum gleefully Forced me to walk to the car, and off we tootled to the PA.
-we listened to westlife's coast to coast.
-on arrival, i suffered a rude shock. here i was, all ready to wheel myself in, and PIG mum decides, "no, let's force her to walk in instead.. so she gleefully FORCED (there'll be many firsts today) me to walk into the building.
-i went to the loo first. PIG mum helped dak me, then suffered a change of heart and forced me to pull my drawers back up. then she happily FORCED me to walk over to wash and dry my right hand, b4 she gleefully FORCED :( me to walk back to the waiting area.
-thanks to dolly who handed me a new idea mag. so i just browsed that for awhile, until my name was called.

-i went for a tinkle afterwards, then got redressed but not switched back to sparky, dolly instead choosing to Force me to walk to the dining table.

-well, PIG mum's decided that she's booting me off to bed at 9pm, so i guess i'd better say bye to ayumi - hey, i spoke to both of the japanese girls tonight!i guess my episode of naruto will have to wait till toms. hope everyone has a smashing weekend!

good evening! time is now 7:31pm, and my final plodding total for tonight is now 1512. back to where i was, about last night:
-i slept downstairs, so just repeat everything i said last night. tomorrow's a thursday, so i'll type it all out in full again then.
-thankfully, another dry night!
anyways, here comes the days spotty points! :P
-bear bear and i were happy pigs this morning, until PIG mum decided to spoil the fun and dig me up. she forced me to put on some items of clothing, helped me with some, but in the end she clipped my pedometer onto me and happily Forced me to walk out to the gobbling table.
-brunch was last night's leftovers. it goes without saying that PIG mum forced my left hand to hang onto my bowl as i was eating.
-sorry, am being summoned to dinner, so i'll bbl, ok? time is now 7:52pm.
*burp! *time is now 8:04pm and dinner tonight: rice, 4 or so pieces of bok choy (i had only grabbed 3 but dad tossed me an extra piece), a wee lil piece of ham, and 3 small but delicious pieces of chicken. oh, and a little chunk of tomato skin too. all washed down with a yummy if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down pear juice. i was careful to hold the cup how PIG mum demands that it must be held, and again, it goes without saying that PIG mum forced my left hand to hang onto the bowl as i ate. so, where was i?
-PIG mum gleefully Forced me to walk to sparky, and i rocked online for awhile until bernadette arrived.
-shower first: hair wash today, plus a comfy scalp massage! i went for a tinkle afterwards, then got redressed and swapped back to sparky.
-i tootled over for arvo tea: a cup of tetley's british blend sweetened with a single spoonful of honey, and a toasted ham, cheese and mayo sandwhich. too bad, bernie explained that PIG mum had only restricted me to one slice, so it was ENTIRELY too thin. oh well, i'll take it when i can get it.
-bernie grabbed me on approx 20mins of left arm hand exercises. PIG mum came down to force me on another 2 1/2 - 5 mins more, the one that katrina taught us to do 50x.
-just b4 the news, bernie snapped me off another portion of my giant freddo from kat, and i washed that down with half a glass of milk.
-we started with 10's news at 5:30. go our cricketers! then, poor bernie got a call from her younger girl, claudia, coz the silly thing had locked herself out of the house! >< so after she took me to the loo once more, PIG mum let her go early. but she'll be back toms, and even promised to take me out to arvo tea! yay!
-well, since it was a wednesday, imagine my dismay when vincent the physio rocked up. so he dragged me on a circuit of the house first, b4 hauling me up the stairs twice. once i was down, i went to the loo once, PIG mum taking pity on me and only forcing me to yank my daks back up.
-anyways, am going to watch house MD now. will be back after the show to write about my favourite line. cya! time is now ... 8:25pm.
-good evening! time is now 9:35pm, and much thanks to dearest dad who ceded the computer back to 5 or so mins to quickly finish my post. anyways, tonight's episode: a repeat, some lunatic with a swollen tongue came in to shoot house. sorry, i don't have a favourite line tonight; well, i did, but PIG mum made me forget it by keeping on and wrenching/tearing my thumb out of it's loosely clenched fist. oh well, if she forgets to put on the splint tonight i can do it then, else i'll just haveta wait till toms. anyways, i'm gonna go get my bowl of ice-cream, then say my goodnights. bye!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 2 errors in my post tonight.

Tuesday post

Good afternoon! Ok, I think PIG mum Forced em to plod 2878 steps today. Well, it was either that or 2787. ok, 160 of those was with dom dom, meaning PIG mum actually Forced em to plod 2110, give or take a few. So, my maths skills aren’t any good :P anyways, concerning last night:
-i slept downstairs, so just repeat everything that i typed out last night. but thankfully, it was a dry night! anyways, spotty points for the day, incoming!
-after dearest dad came to kiss me goodbye this morning, i slept until PIG mum decided to slap me awake. :P
-she forced me to put on a couple items of clothing on by myself, and helped me with some others. in the end, she stuck my pedometer onto my pants and gleefully Forced me to walk outside.
-i spat out my mouth splint and then PIG mum forced me to fill a glass with water and forced me to drink it all. so i complied.
-i chose coco pops coco rocks for breakfast instead of nutri-grain; regardless of whichever choice i would've made, PIG mum enjoyed herself immensely forcing me to do this and that, Forcing me to walk here and there.
-dear dad came home while i was munching my brekkie and while PIG mum was on the phone to cathay, trying to find out when they could come. turns out he'd misplaced his phone; he rang a few oh his workmates and it turned out it was in one of their cars.
-after dear dad left for work, PIG mum gleefully Forced me to walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth.
-and because my right hand took the first pre-brush rinse, and the first after-brush rinse, PIG mum gleefully forced my left hand to rinse together with my right hand 6x to make up for it. to be honest, i really don't see what's so big a deal about it, but i comply. *sigh* then i washed both hands, PIG mum happily Forced me to walk over to dry them, then gleefully Forced me to walk to the loo, where of course she forced me to pull my pants down.
-i delivered a stinky unspeakable, so much thanks to PIG mum who helped me to wipe, b4 she forced me to pull my pants back up, gleefully Forced me to walk over to wash and dry my right hand, and gleefully Forced me to walk to the car. She also commandeered the CD player, putting in some chritian music. they're not too shabby, surprisingly. just that westlife is better. :p actually, did you know that kian -aka 'the beckham boy' - is married to the daughter of the irish prime minister?
-on arrival, i asked PIG mum politely to please get out sparkless for me so i could wheel myself in. not surprisingly, she refused, instead gleefully Forcing me to walk in.
-i took a seat inside the entrance to rest my weary limbs; usually, i rest for 5 mins b4 i drag myself back up; who knows why PIG mum only gave me max, 2 mins b4 she gleefully dragged me up to go walking again?
-i went once to the loo; of course, PIG mum forced me to pull down my daks first.
-we bumped into a fellow that used to be a BIRU inpatient as well; i've no idea how he remembers my name - i can't remember his! >< sorry, mate. but he can walk and everything; it's his speech that's eluding him so far. but he's getting lots better!
-PIG mum gleefully Forced me to walk into the day hospital, i bid dom dom and her family an AWESOME and prosperous 2009! she told me what her family had gotten for xmas - her lucky hubby, a doctor at the logan hospital - got a coffee maker!
-so PIG
-oops, doorbell's rung, that'll be karen here, so i'll bbl, ok? time is now ... 2:56pm.
good evening! time is now ... 7:05pm and i've just popped back online and dear dad's just come home and carrie just showed me her wedding photos with royce. very pretty! so, where was i?
-anyways, physio with dom dom - just lotsa walking. gabriella came and i said hi to her too! but her poor boy ... he was playing in the playground when some horrible girl ATTACKED him. >< in the forehead, too. >< so gabriella had to take him to the hospital and i wonder if he'll now end up looking like harry potter. :P
-a bit earlier, PIG mum came to pick me up and gleefully Forced me to walk all the way back out to the car.
-off we tootled to the market square dental place.
-on arrival, PIG mum gleefully FORCED:( (first time) me to walk inside. the nice reception lady encuraged me, when she said the last time i came to the dentist, i was wheeled in.
-i settled down with a gossip mag until this asian dental assistant called me in, meaning PIG mum happily Forced me to walk in.
-i bid dr. kelvin leung a happy 2009 as i flopped on the dentist chair, then explained to him my woes.
-he poked and prodded around my mouth, b4 deciding that it was nothing too serious and that i wouldn't need any injections, phew!
-he just gave my teeth a good general clean, then i scored off him! one brand new blue electric toothbrush, these 'flossette' things to help me floss my teeth, and he also told PIG mum to get me some oral b mouthwash - i think it's got no alcohol, unlike listerine.
-anyways, time to go, PIG mum gleefully Forced m to walk back out to the waiting area, kelvin telling us that his 2 eldest boys were in byron bay with their grandparents. lucky things!
-i flopped on a chair as PIG mum went to buy some takeaway lunch for us. i asked for some chicken, or if there was none, pork, but PIG mum returned saying that there was only sweet and sour fish left, with vegies.
-so she gleefully Forced me to walk back to the car, then we tootled home, listening to (i think) westlife's coast to coast.
-once home, PIG mum gleefully Forced me to walk in, and dear dad rang!
-we settled down for our lunch - sweet and sour fish, rice, chinese cabbage, beans and some yucky cucumber. oh, and a piece and half of carrot. thanks to PIG mum who mixed up a chocolate nesquik for me.
-i tootled online afterwards, i'm not sure how long, really, but PIG mum claims i've already been on for an hour and only have 60mins left. oh well.
-karen came and showered me first - hairwash today. she hlped me scrub my back and my right arm, i scrubbed the rest. again, good to hear that i'm only a little spotty on my chin.
-i went for a tinkle afterwards, then got redressed and swapped back to sparky.
-i tootled over for arvo tea: a toasted ham, cheese - yay! 2 slices! - and mayo sandwhich, cut into 3 rectangles, or 'oblongs', as karen calls them. we both had a cup of yummy tetley's british blend, sweetened with a single spoonful of honey.
-we had a chat about our xmas gifts, etc. and karen told me tht she and jamie were having quiche and salad for dinner tonight. yumm ... i want quiche too! i remember we used to get that for dinner at the PA sometimes.
- i read for awhile, b4 karen grabbed me on approx 25mins or so of left hand exercises.
-i went to play the piano, trying the new music karen had printed out for me. the indian national anthem actually sounds quite weird/atonal!
-at 6, aren flicked on the RV. first, though, we watched some guy win $185 on deal or no deal. well, i reckon every bit helps!
-7's news at 6pm was read out by patrick condren and sharyn ghidella, and sport by ben davis. yay, telstra shares went up - they're like at $3.73 now!
-today tonight was with samantha armytage, and karen took me to the loo once more.
-PIG mum forced me to do another 5-10mins of left arm exercise, karen quashing my right foot :P coz it has a tendency to rise up - well, the heel, anyway.
-back at the gobbling table :P i signed karen off - she doesn't know when she'll be coming back again - but i hope it's soon! - and mum kindly fed us all a lolly that i think unle wallace had given us, and kindly poured me a glass of milk to flush it down, too.
-well, i shall be back after dinner to report on what i gobbled :P i don't think there's any UQ clinic toms, wonder what i'll do ...
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 3 errors in my post tonight.
P.P.S. dinner tonight: rice, lots of little 'tong' vegetable, and a little bit of chicken, egg and tomato., i washed that down with a yummy if unfortunately HEAVILY watered pear juice. well, me just going to get updated on the news now, and see who'll be coming to help me toms. bye!
P.P.P.S. mrs dent said that we COULD contact her after 5th jan about going to la porchetta for PIG mum's bday. well, it's now the 5th, so i politely asked PIG mum tonight if we could contact her - and i honestly have no idea why she snapped no. so i offered to email her, then, but PIG mum said i wasn't allowed to do that, either. so, short of mrs. dent finding the time to ring PIG mum, i guess the belated celebrations will just have to be held off. oh well, guess i'll just have to ask PIG mum everyday if she's ready to ring mrs dent yet, and when we finally see mrs. dent, explain to her why we took so long to contact her. heading for the news now - still no idea what i'm doing toms. oh well.

monday post

hi all! i think i will have to leave right now, coz karen's here! :P time is now3:05pm
good evening once again! time is now 7:19pm, and PIG mum Forced em to plod 3020 steps today. regarding last night:
-repeat what i said last night.
anyways, spotty points, incoming! :P
-em was a happy pig this morning, with my beloved bear bear and my chilli PIG sausage. :p dad came in to kiss me good bye, let me use the pot - even though he likes forcing me to dak/un-dak myself - and thankfully took off my mega-ouchy hand splint. at least i don't wake up tearful in the middle of the night anymore coz it hurts, but the pain still DOES wake me up. then i just have to try and force my hand to relax so i can go back to sleeping.
-so i snored happily on, until PIG mum came to dig me up. she forced me to put on my own tee, knickers and daks b4 she hit me with the eyegunk -umm ... WHY is PIG mum giving my email addy to whomever she's talking on the phone? - clipped my pedometer onto me, and happily Forced me to walk to the loo, coz i needed the bathroom.
-PIG mum forced me to lower my own trousers and forced me to pull them back up after i'd finished tinkling.
-yay, dear dad's home! so, brb.
-turns out PIG mum's on the phone, to my cousin, teresa. she's the oldest. i'm the youngest girl, and come in at 11 ot of 13.
-PIG mum then happily Forced me to walk over to wash and dry my right hand, b4 happily Forcing me to walk to the gobbling table. :p
-i chose coco pops coca rocks for breakfast, so PIG mum enjoyed herself immensely Forcing me to walk here and there, and forcing me to do this and that.
-just came back from the loo. i didn't drive into the bathroom coz i know PIG mum believes it can't fit in, so i stopped outside the bathroom. still, that wasn't good enough for her, coz she moved it HEAPS back, meaning she could happily Force me to walk in further. then, she forced me to lower my own trousers, and after i'd done a long tinkle, forced me to pull them back up. then, she happily Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand, gleefully Forced me to walk over to dry my right hand - even thoughi could've leaned over from where i was and dried my hand just fine - and happily Forced me to walk back to sparky.
-sorry, am being summoned to dinner, so bbl, ok? time is now ... 8:06pm
*burp* i'm back! dinner tonight: rice, with lotsa beans and lettuce, a small piece of chicken, and a tiny piece of ham. all washed down with a yummy if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down pear juice. oh, and time is now 8:20pm. so, where was i?
-i happily gobbled my breakkie, then thanks to PIG mum who popped me my drugs for the day :p
-time to go, PIG mum happily Forced me to walk out to the car, and off we tootled to UQ, listening to westlife.
-on arrival, PIG mum happily Forced me to walk in, and we caught the elevator up. i needed to go to the loo, so that's where she gleefully Forced me to walk, of course forcing me to dak and un/re-dak :p myself.
-i sat down, and PIG mum flounced off to pay, quicker than i thought she could move :p so i just sat there patiently and waited for her, without a mag to read.
-PIG mum came back from her payment, and handed me some triathlon mag to read.
-katrina came, with 3 or 4 new female students. so they walked me in and i flopped on the bed.
-they asked all these questions first, then got me lying down and assessed different parts of my body.
-then, lotsa standing practises and left arm stretchy and some right arm reachy ones. somewhere during them, i persuaded katrina to give me some chocolate! :P
-time to go, PIG mum happily Forced me to walk out.
-i went once more to the loo, PIG mum for some reason taking pity on me and pulling my pants back up for me. then she happily Forced me to walk over to wash and dry my left hand, b4 she gleefully Forced me to walk back outside.
-katrina met us at the elevator - with a giant freddo for me! big enough that i think it will take 3-4 nights to finish. but i want a piece tonight. :P thanks, kat!
-we caught the elevator down, then PIG mum refused my ask of going to umm ... what was that place called? thanks, dad - toowong village - for lunch, coz she said taking sparkless out of the boot was too much for her. fair enough. so i asked if we could please go to sunnybank oriental then, and she said yes!
-of course, on arrival, PIG mum happily Forced me to walk in there. i ordered the western meal - spaghetti with chicken and ham strips in a creamy sauce - and PIG mum ordered the asian meal - pineapple and beef rice. she got hers with a lemon tea -i reminded her to smush the lemon up :p and i got mine with a yummy cold milk tea.
-all happily gobbled up, PIG mum gleefully Forced me to walk back out to the car, and she tootled us home, still listening to westlife.
-PIG mum gleefully Forced me to walk back inside when we arrived home, and karen soon arrived.
-shower first - hairwash today. i went for a tinkle afterwards, then karen got me redressed and transferred me back to sparky.
-i tootled over for some arvo tea - a toasted ham, cheese - score, 2 slices! - and mayo sandwhich, cut into 4 squares, and a cup of tetley's british blend, sweetened with a single spoonful of honey.
-we had a chat - jamie will be doing all these multimedia subjects in grade 10 this year, and still keeps in contact with his father coz karen and ex-hubby are split..
-karen grabbed me on approx 20mins of left arm exercises - mainly the little dumbell - it's pink and only 1/2kg in weigt - and the theraplaydough :p
-at 6pm, she flicked the TV on for me. first, we watched some lucky bloke win 100 grand on deal or no deal first! 7's news was read out by patrick condren and sharyn ghidella, sport by ben davis and i think the weather by talitha cummins. if i remember correctly, weather should be fine toms, the temperature ranging from about 23 - 31 degrees?
-once the news was over, karen stuck my socks, splint and shoes back on, and took me once more to the loo. i signed her off, and we did a find-a-word for awhile. she and jamie are - i think - having sweet and sour chicken tonight - she owns a slow cooker.
-well, i've already written about dinner, so i guess that ends my spotty points :P for today. PIG mum is chatting on the phone, even though i know she wants to boot me to bed soon. oh well, hope everyone is enjoying their week, so far!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i haveta go to the dentist toms - i really do hope that my sensitive tooth isn't anything too horrible, but hopes aren't up. i just hope, no needles! ouch. ><
P.P.S. i found and corrected 1 error in my post tonight.
