Happy End

It was certainly a happy end to my week!

I was running a little late getting to the shop this morning and Adoring Husband dropped me off at the supermarket before parking at my workplace.

He often starts opening the shop while I’m food shopping for lunch.

Unfortunately he was waylaid by a chatty local lady so by the time I got to the shop he was still standing at the front door while she chewed his ear off.

Before I got to the front door, I was waylaid by another business owner and her two grandchildren!

By the time we got through the door, we had three minutes to open up - usually a ten minute operation.

At 9am, The Artful Dodger arrived to help set up for art. We had to move quickly because Fishface was arriving at 10am.

AH left and then returned at 10am so that he could spend time with FF too - which I thought was a lovely gesture because he could have easily avoided a possible uncomfortable family gathering.

It was a perfectly pleasant hour interrupted by a couple of customers and feeding time for Mini Fishface …

Her new husband seemed really lovely. He was warm and friendly and very attentive with bub.

After they left, I had a busy hour serving customers. 

I made an avocado and tuna dip for art and while AH closed the shop, I changed into my art clothes.

We had a fun afternoon creating mermaid tails …

I refrained from savouring alcoholic beverages with everyone after art this week but I really enjoyed spending time with them after we’d cleaned up. They are a great bunch of girls.

It was almost 5pm when we arrived home and I stepped straight into the kitchen to crumb some chicken for dinner which I served with salad.

We watched the football - a fantastic game! It’s a shame there had to be a loser.

Now it’s almost midnight and I’m done for the day!

Nite all.

Prepped

There were plans afoot for my niece ‘Fishface’ to visit us this afternoon with her new husband and baby.

They travelled from Rockhampton to The Bay but didn’t realise that they would then have to drive 40 minutes from their motel back in the direction they just came from to see us.

I’d invited them for a barbecue.

They were originally going to stop on their way to The Bay so when they told me they were just checking into their motel at 3pm, I lovingly offered them an ‘out’. 

Having travelled in the car for six hours with a five month old baby, I figured the last thing they would want to do is make an 80 minute round trip to us and they agreed.

They accepted my ‘out’ and instead, they will come to visit me in the shop on Saturday morning.

Adoring Husband had spent considerable time cleaning the barbecue and outdoor area and making the kitchen and living area presentable for visitors. He’s performed above and beyond his usual PA duties!

I haven’t seen Fishface for ten years so I’m looking forward to her visit tomorrow.

It was another good day of sales at the shop and I took delivery of so many clothes …

My clothes steamer is just about to die. It steams for five minutes then stops for three minutes, then starts again, so I went online and ordered a brand new Phillips garment steamer which will be delivered on Monday.

Needless to say, I didn’t get much out on display but I sold two items ‘unsteamed’ so that reduced my workload a smidge. Haha.

My other delivery has gone missing. A beautiful selection of colourful leather bags and wallets landed in Maryborough on Monday morning and haven’t been seen since. So it’s now under investigation.

I made a ‘to do’ list and only ticked one item off it - I replaced the ink cartridges in the printer - the rest of the time I was busy with customers and pricing the clothes before I steam them.

Now I lay me down to sleep. I’m weary.

Nite all.

Winner!

I won Powerball tonight!

$10.65

Not quite the $3million that I’d hoped.

Another good day of sales with lots of happy visitors.

I unpacked and priced 1/3 of the new stock but there isn’t enough space for the rest of it so I’ll have to store it and display it as space becomes available.

Finally, I got a good start on tidying my desk but still have a way to go.

Adoring Husband helped me set up the training room for art.

I paid a bill and emailed a courier about some missing stock. They still haven’t responded.

As part of my lease with the shop, I have one parking space in the rear car park. Problem is there are so many staff working in the real estate offices at the front of my building, that they fill all the spots and AH often has to park on the street OR I go into the real estate and ask them to move a car.

Yesterday I created a sign, AH assigned himself a parking space and this morning he put the sign on the fence. This led to the real estate offering me a second spot 😳. We don’t really need it so I’ll probably decline the offer. Weird.

AH had SES this evening so I made myself some toast for dinner and he had last night’s leftovers.

I watched a fluffy movie on Netflix while he was gone.

I watched this video this morning and found it very interesting. I hope you do too.

Sleepy time for me.

Nite all.

Personal Assistant

I put my PA to work this afternoon.

I was able to unpack, check, price and display the stock from one of the two deliveries today and had just started on the second box when Adoring Husband arrived, so I put him to work.

He did actually volunteer.

He read the code number on each item and I checked it off the invoice.

It sounds so simple but for one person, it’s very time consuming, especially when the invoice is over three pages long!

I can now easily price and display what’s remaining, although there are two more deliveries due tomorrow.

Today wasn’t as exhausting as yesterday, that’s for sure!

Sales were very good.

Aggie came for a visit. We had much to catch up on!

Oh I need to mention meditation which, as always, was amazeballs, but I have a total block on what we talked about!

Right now, I’m ready for a big sleep.

Nite all.

Like a Lizard

I was flat out like a lizard drinking for most of today.

The Brains Trust and Reality TV Queen came for coffee this morning but I spent very little time with them  because those pesky customers kept walking through the door!

There are now two boxes of stock to unpack because I was too busy to open yesterday’s delivery and another was delivered this afternoon. 

The Artful Dodger visited this afternoon and as much as I love her visits, her timing today was awful because I had so much to do and very little time to do it.

I was grateful that the journaling class was cancelled. Not grateful for the reason - yet another Hervey Bay Hospital eff up.

In between all of this, sales were excellent.

Adoring Husband and I set up the room for meditation and I was very grateful to leave the shop and head home.

It was a busy day and I needed to stop.

I got to sit down at 3pm with my pot of anti-inflammitea to watch Tipping Point which is my new fave for winding down at the end of the day.

I cooked duck again for AH with veg and mushrooms.

It’s already 10.45pm and I have an early start tomorrow so it’s time to sleep.

Here’s that cake I made the other night …

Nite all.

Lesson Learned

I discovered today that my disregard for ‘checking in’ far outweighs my desire for shopping! 😳

Adoring Husband checks me in on his app whenever we are together because he will always be a conformist and the idea of going against the establishment spirals him into stress city.

We drove into The Bay early-ish and had breakfast at our favourite haunt - although there were some disappointments surrounding the morning.

The blinds were locked closed, obscuring our water views, because they are about to start work on the front deck. I couldn’t hear very well but it sounded like they are going to add another lower level deck overlooking the beach.

Time will tell.

Adoring Husband ordered GF Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon - they advised there was no GF bread but they could substitute a roll, which we agreed to.

I ordered GF Canadian pancakes (with bacon and banana) and a tropical frappe. After about ten minutes a woman came to our table apologising that there were NO GF pancakes available.

I tried to order bacon, avocado, hash browns and tomato relish, BUT you can’t order from the ‘extras’ list so I had to order the cheapest thing on the menu and then modify it with the extras. It worked out $5 dearer than my original order, but they gave it to me for the same price.

AH’s breakfast was too salty and his bread roll was rock hard. He couldn’t even cut it with a knife.

My breakfast was delicious but there was way too much of it and I couldn’t eat it all. Half a cup of delicious tomato relish wasted.

After breakfast, we visited Go Natural where we discovered supplements that include Vit D, Vit C, Zinc and Quercetin in one capsule! Made in Queensland. Thank you very much. 

My shopping list had chain and canvases on it, so AH dropped me off at Spotlight and then parked the car before getting a hair cut at his favourite salon Just Cuts.

I wandered aimlessly through Stocklands until he was finished and I gave him permission to stop at Bunnings to purchase a plant to put in my new pot.

It was around 1.15pm when we pulled into our driveway.

We picked up the mail on the way home and there was a big box of stock to take to the shop.

I made my afternoon pot of anti-inflammitea, watched Tipping Point and had an afternoon nap for a bit over an hour.

I prepared duck breast, boiled potato in their skin, grilled zucchini and bok choy  for AH’s dinner.

Nothing for me.

Now it’s time for me to sleep … again.

Nite all.

Remarkable

In NSW, since January 2020 (21 months - that’s almost 2 years) there have been 43,247 cases of Covid 19 and 233 deaths.

In NSW, during 2017 (12 months) there were 101,027 cases of seasonal flu and 1,163 deaths.

Even if you multiply the covid stats by 2.4 which brings it closer to the flu season numbers - Covid deaths are still less than half of the seasonal flu deaths when compared to the number of cases.

Here is a link to a Channel 7 News story, published in July 2018, which is halfway through that flu season, talking about a ‘moderately bad’ flu season where 300 Australians had already died.

https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/health-wellbeing/flu-deaths-hit-300-as-season-passes-peak-c-209939

Remember back to last year when they were showing horrific pictures of mass graves and trucks lining up to take the bodies away from hospitals in the USA and Europe?

Remember them saying you could not go to your local doctor’s office to be tested and that you couldn’t go to hospital unless you were classed as an emergency ie you could no longer breathe?

There were doctors way back then who knew that early treatment (within the first 2-3 days) could prevent you reaching ‘emergency’ status. 

Those doctors are now saying that up to 85% of those deaths could have been prevented with early treatment … but we were not allowed early treatment … because ‘apparently’ there was no early treatment. We were not allowed to see our doctor because we might pass on the virus in the office. 

We had to stay at home, pass it on to our family and get sicker day by day until we had to call an ambulance because we couldn’t breathe. By then it was way too late and we either died or had permanent damage to our organs.

Any doctor who attempted to step forward with an alternative treatment that he/she was having success with, was branded a quack or the treatment was brushed aside as having no ‘proof’ or no ‘research’ to support it.

Doctors all over the world are now stepping forward with advice about early treatment and how you can improve your chances of surviving this virus if or when you catch it.

Even though, initially, Pfizer reported their vaccine to be 95% effective, it is now known to be 39% effective - prior to Covid, any vaccine had to be at least 50% effective to even be classed a vaccine.

So even if you are vaccinated, this early treatment information should be taken seriously.

The good news is that 15 studies have shown that natural immunity is far superior to the vaccine and there has been no single failure of natural immunity.

To boost your immune system, most importantly, lose excess weight. You have a 30%+ higher chance of death or serious permanent injury from covid if you are overweight.

Be active and spend time outside in the fresh air and sunshine.

Take supplements Vit D, Vit C, Zinc and Quercetin.

If you are tested positive and are over 65yrs ask your doctor to give you Monoclonal antibody therapy - an infusion that takes an hour to administer.

Hydrogen Peroxide on a cotton tip up your nostril every couple of hours kills the virus that’s there.

Keep moving. Don’t stay in bed. Get outside in the fresh air and do what you can to keep the blood circulating.

Take aspirin 325mg daily for 90 days - it stops blood clots - autopsies have shown that the lungs are filled with blood clots which is the main cause of death (not pneumonia).

Despite the media BS, many studies have shown that Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin have been very successful treatments in the early stages of Covid.

Of course, I’m not a doctor, I’m simply passing on the common denominators from the doctors I’ve listened to and read about. All of them say that there is NO ONE DRUG effective in the treatment of Covid, but there are definitely combinations that have been very successful.

It’s up to you to do your own research - though I doubt you’ll find any support for this on mainstream internet/media/medicine/news.

The world is talking about Australia right now. How conditioning has easily led to the loss of medical freedoms while promoting fear, suffering, hospitalisations, death and forced vaccinations - all tied to new restrictions, limitations, loss of personal, financial and economic freedoms.

We, as a country are divided which makes us weak and and an easy target. There are many stories in history that started the same way and huge populations were guided to an end that they were not expecting.

Be proactive and make yourself the healthiest version of yourself possible. You are the only one who cares enough about you to do what’s right for you. I guarantee you that the current narrative is not what is best for you.

You can probably guess that I’ve been in bed all day researching and investigating all things to do with the virus and the jab.

It’s a long process because it’s not just about watching videos of interviews and reading the stories. It’s also about researching the person telling the story and checking their qualifications and credentials. 

After a few hours, my brain starts to complain and that’s when I know to stop.

Find something light and breezy and less intense to play with.

That’s why fluffy Netflix movies are good. So is the footy. Or photos of my grandies to browse through. Thanks to Vegan Chickie, who sends me a photo almost every day, I have over a hundred pics to pore over when I want to feel the love …

This may be our future because neither of us will ever have a vaccine passport to travel freely interstate.

I’m going to bake a cake now, which I plan to decorate with Zymil cream and strawberries. Photo on tomorrow’s blog!

Nite all.
