Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

What Budget?

Mid morning I had a couple, wearing what looked to be uniform polo shirts, walk through the door of the shop.

They each gave a gasp of surprise (that happens a lot) and wandered around for five minutes telling me they were drivers for a Bundaberg ‘group’ and that they’d left 18 people sitting drinking coffee in front of the bakery and Foodworks.

I said “You need to tell them about this great shop! I’m sure they’d love to come for a visit!”

With that, the man walked out and the woman brought her purchase to the counter.

Five minutes later, a convoy of elderly humans trudged up the driveway and the man held the door open for them as they swarmed into the shop.

One of the ladies was named Roz! She introduced herself quite gleefully! All of the 18 humans were in their 80s and they didn’t spend a lot of money but they certainly helped me reach my happy minimum today.

They were a happy bunch and all complimented the shop as they went on their way to Goodies for lunch.

I had an appointment booked with a supplier for 12.30pm but he didn’t arrive until 1.15pm.

As always, I budgeted a certain amount for this visit and as always I went far and above it.

I’m very happy with my purchases and I know they will sell well so I’m not suffering buyer’s remorse.

The appointment lasted an hour and Adoring Husband closed the shop while I was busy and I was home by 2.30pm.

I did a load of washing, parked my butt with my usual cup of tea beside me and proceeded to add up my purchases. The total was more than I’d planned but not as bad as I expected.

We watched a few movies. 

‘School of Rock’ with Jack Black.

‘Happy Season’ with Kristen Stewart

‘Meet Joe Black’ with Brad Pitt.

Now it’s almost 11pm and I’m sitting up in bed feeling very comfortable and ready for a good nights sleep.

Looking forward to a blinder of a Saturday to end my week on a financial high!







Nite all.

Super Slow

My day was long and slow.

I passed my happy minimum with sales, steamed some garments, did some filing, paid a bill, cleared some emails, drank tea and watched the clock.

It’s unusual for me to watch the clock because the days are generally so busy that I’m surprised when I see Adoring Husband walk through door 30 minutes before closing time.

He had a meeting to attend at 2.30pm so we closed a couple of minutes early so that he could drive me home, empty all of my paraphernalia out of the car and feed psychotic dog Colli before heading out again.

It took me about 30 minutes to do all the ‘things’ before I could put my feet up and shut my brain down for the day. I enjoyed my hour of solitude before AH returned but by 4.30pm I was overwhelmed with lethargy and simply needed to lie down.

I woke up about 90 minutes later 😳

AH had cooked chicken nibbles for dinner and that delicious aroma was wafting through the house so it was a pleasant way to wake up.

Now it’s almost midnight and I think I will easily fall asleep once I sign off here.

I have an appointment with a rep tomorrow. I won’t be spending much money with him.

I’ve spent the evening watching interviews with scientists re Covid and vaccinations. One scientist who was fully vaxed and caught covid 3 months later. Surprise? Yeah Nah.

Anyway …



Nite all.

Found Stuff

 Found this on Facebook today …

89 year old Ron Chester was stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and was asked where he was going at that time of night.

Ron replied, "I'm on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late."

The officer asked, "Really? Who's giving that lecture at this time of night?"

Ron replied, "That would be my wife.

Hehehe

We had a full house for meditation this morning and we discussed ‘showing ourselves kindness’. It was a good class with plenty of discussion.

The ladies didn’t hang around for very long this week but The Gypsy stayed for almost two hours and we had LOTS to talk about. Such a lot had happened in just one week and much debriefing was required!

It was another great sales day, which was surprising because the caravan parks are only half full and I didn’t think there were that many people about!

I set the steamer up but I was so busy I didn’t even finish one garment.

I had four small packages arrive today. One was a special order for a customer, one was white and aqua coloured pillow boxes, one was 50 small plastic ring displays and the last package was jewellery price tags.

The day passed quickly and after such an early start my brain shut down as soon as I walked into the house this afternoon.

Salmon steak and vegetables for dinner.

LOTS of trashy TV.

It’s already after 11.30pm and I can’t stop yawning so it’s time to sleep.

This meme is your warning about all the information I now have from nurses who are marching against mandated vaccinations and the horrific stories they are telling about adverse reactions … which are apparently filling more beds than actual covid cases.

You can look forward to reading some of those stories on the weekend 😬

Searching

I’ve been searching far and wide on google for information regarding Covid 19 vaccine “shedding”.

What is shedding? Vaccine shedding happens when an individual releases or sheds the components of a vaccine either inside or outside their body.

95% of the answers you will find online tell you that shedding can only happen with live attenuated vaccines such as MMR (Measles/Mumps/Rubella), Chickenpox, Flu, Rotavirus to name a few.

Regarding the Covid 19 vaccine …

The CDC says this …

The Healthline says this …

SBS says this …


ABC says this …


Pfizer says this …


and this …

Anyway … today was Melbourne Cup day.

Historically, with the shop, MC day is very very quiet. I assume that the world is too busy preparing themselves for MC luncheons to come shopping for gifts.

Until today!

I was busy all day right up until 1.50pm, it was a fantastic day for sales and there was no time to stop for lunch.

My girls attended the pub for lunch and MC sweeps and asked me to join them for the big race after I closed the shop, but I hadn’t  even closed the shop when the race was running.

I had set up the training room for meditation and cleared all of the new clothes from the room so that I could make a quick exit to be with them, but the stars did not align.

Aggie was kind enough to grab some sweep tickets for me but I was a loser.

The Elders staff came in at 11am and invited Adoring Husband and I to the Bowls Club to join their Melbourne Cup table for a free lunch! Unexpected that was! It was a nice gesture but way too short notice for me to take advantage.

By the end of my day, I was exhausted. I came home, made myself a pot of tea, watched my quiz shows and then cooked duck breast with vegetables for dinner, followed by watching more trashy TV.

It’s already 11pm and I have to be up early for meditation.




That last one should not be aimed only at young adults - we ALL need to take note of that one!

Very Long

This is a VERY long read but covers almost everything that I have researched in the past 18 months.

All this article does is ask relevant questions… MANY relevant questions.

Do you remember me telling you, approximately a year ago, about Dr Reiner Fuellmich (the lead lawyer who sued Volkswagen over ‘Diesel-gate’ for $4.3 billion - the largest automotive fine in history) putting together a class action and had issued a global invitation to anyone who had something to offer?

You can read in this article how he now has more than 10,000 doctors and more than 100 lawyers ready to bring a “Nuremberg 2.0” type trial in relation to the vaccine pushers, stating that “The damage wrought by those who sold the Covid 19 crisis as the worst viral outbreak to hit the world in more than a century, and used it to cause media driven panic, government outreach and human suffering is on a scale still not fully quantified.”

Sadly, something like this has to occur AFTER the damage has been done, when it’s too late for 70% of the global population.

Anyway … today has been a nice easy day for me. I stayed in bed til noon, then went for a swim.

Those gale force winds yesterday and last night filled the pool with sticks and leaves which all sank to the bottom so I spent half an hour cleaning the pool and emptying the filter before I could relax and do my pool routine.

Lucky I enjoy being in the water so much and clearing the leaves doesn’t feel like a chore.

By 2.30pm we were at the shop clearing the training room and setting up for morning coffee.

I received 3 packages of stock - so many clothes! One box of long necklaces. I unpacked everything and hung them all around the training room ready to be steamed during the week.

Melbourne Cup day is traditionally very quiet in the shop so I may close early, although I still have the journaling class which may or may not happen yet.

We had leftover crumbed chicken with a big batch of vegetables on the side for dinner and spent the night watching trashy reality TV.

It’s almost midnight so I’d best get some sleep. There is nice gentle cool breeze floating through the window - perfect for falling asleep.



Nite all.

Wiped Out

Saturday was a wipe out for me.

End of the week exhaustion.

Sales for Saturday were pretty damned good, followed by a really enjoyable art class with a newby who plans on being a regular.









I arrived home at 4pm and collapsed on the couch to watch The Hunger Games which we both dozed our way through.

At 2am, having dozed my way through the entire Hunger Games series, I fell into bed.

Slept like a baby until 9.30am.

Done lots more research and found lots more information.

Of everything I’ve discovered over the last 18 months, I found a lot of it here compacted into an online documentary, which, of course, has been censored by mainstream - but they can’t debunk any of it because it’s all factual.

I implore you to watch it. Even if you watch it in 15 minute increments, you’ll find it very eye opening.

It’s almost 4pm and I’m ready to sleep again!



Nite all.
