Wow! What a week I experienced! I was treated like a Make A Wish kid one time, then I was treated like the world doesn't know me the next, then I had a surprise after that!
My week started off with a trip to the beauty salon. I met a lovely and gentle dog named Sawyer, who kept bringing toys and wanting to play, and when he slept, he went 'Woof-woof-woof' and dreamed of chasing cats. The beautician and I talked about things like He Man, Scream Street, K-Zone and Paddle Pops - all the things I've been thinking about earlier this week. In case you don't know what K-Zone is, it's a magazine for kids in Australia all about the latest in films, TV shows and competitions - whoever won that Paddle Pop contest is beyond my limits. Then my support worker took me out for my favourite ice cream - vanilla with chocolate sauce and a Flake in a tub.
On Wednesday, my support worker took me far out to the edge of Scotland to see some animuels! First, we stopped off for a meal at the River Bo- *RECORD SCRATCH* "NO, Sybil, last time you went there, you threw a massive fit!" - -thy where we had toast, eggs, bacon and sausages, a lovely moist chocolate cupcake and some cosy hot cocoa. There was a screaming kid wearing a dinosaur jumper - Dine-Saw. Grrrrrrrrrr!! - but I ignored it and went back into the car. We then set off, and got a drink before we made our way to the farm. We met lots of animals there, from a pig called Boris to two fighting baby goats named Bonnie and Clyde. The highlight of the visit was when we went into the sensory room. Oh boy, it was so beautiful. There were unicorns, dinosaurs and Toy Story clouds on the wall, and everything smelled of vanilla and mulled wine. I got to hold the cuddliest animals ever described in the history of the entire world - Nala and Jessica, the two guinea pigs, Caramel the rabbit, Bow Bow the giant rabbit and my favourite animal on the farm, Max. Max was the cuddliest, softest bunny ever known to man, and I instantly fell in love with him, thinking up a new idea: 'Max Asks Why', where a fictional version of Max lives with his mum, his big teenage brother Mojo and his little sister Matilda. The reptiles were slimy and sticky, but they were dry, so I met Jenny and Gene the two tortoises, Leo the gecko and Sid the snake. Lucky I didn't meet the yucky-as-poo tarantulas! Speaking of, I learned from the owners of the farm that tortoises pee to release toxins, like we humans do. All the time we were looking at the tortoises, Bow Bow kept hopping around the room sniffing everything and demanding a cuddle. When our trip was over, I looked all around to say goodbye to Max, but I couldn't find him anyway. I was so upset I had a bit of a cry over him all the way home, but at least he's something to remember about the farm for days to come.
However, things took a turn for the worst when I went out on Friday. ASDA was swarming with police cars and fire engines, because there was an accident, so we went to the Storehouse, where we had bacon, eggs, toast and sausages - I didn't have my eggs because they looked like big pieces of disgusting tasting ice cream. It got even worse when I was at home. An ad played before a video on Youtube, and I watched it with the sound. It was like a NUCLEAR BOMB went off in my head! Then Mum insisted on watching her video again because I kept talking over it. I had enough and I went into my room, where I began screaming and raging over my bad day, but with Mum's encouragement, I spent the evening on a positive note. Speaking on positive, the positive part of the day was going into the Dornoch Store and paying for an ice cream with my support worker's help. The ice cream was delicious though.
And that's not even the crazy part. Yesterday my male support worker was supposed to take me out to see the liners, but he filled up on the wrong petrol and it was such an emergency. Unlike my horrible Friday (tell that to Garfield, he hates Mondays), things looked up, and my fun German support worker came and picked me up. I cheered real loud when she came and took me home, but first we stopped off at the Co-Op where I got sausage rolls, cookies and water. Boy did they taste good...but all the excitement left me really tired, so I got to sleep.
And now, here I am, writing on my blog about all the crazy stuff I've been up to in the last couple of days. So remember, according to my strict support worker, it doesn't matter whether your days are bad or not, just think about this: they're all forgotten now.
