My whole body aches, but in particular, my back.
I've not felt anything like this before and the pain is difficult to describe. It feels more about nerves than muscle or bone and it's making me feel nauseous.
It is 7.50pm and I am in bed!
Adoring Husband rubbed some 'muscle recovery' oil into my back and I've even resorted to Panadol for the pain!
So that's it from me. I am going to sleep the pain away.
Have an amazing Sunday!
Big warm hugs.

Busy Business
We had a busy day in the shop with lots of customers and steady sales.
Most of those customers agreed to have their photo taken for our Facebook page to go into our draw for a $20 gift voucher, but it's surprising the number of people who HATE having their photo taken and simply refuse on that basis. Some people do not want to be seen on Facebook under any circumstances. Some people are only in town for a brief visit and don't plan on returning, so they decline our offer.
Some people don't want to photograph their face, but are happy to photograph their hands holding their purchase ... strange, but true.
BGWLBH and I went to the club tonight without Adoring Husband.
One of our psychotic dogs ... Colli ... had a seizure today. This was a first and in the presence of BGWLBH who took good care of her during the ordeal. BGWLBH and AH took Colli to the vet in Childers to have her checked out and everything seems to be ok.
The vet wondered if Colli had been bitten by a snake, but we doubt that.
We hope to have the results of the different tests soon and will continue to hope for the best.
Needless to say, BGWLBH was in need of a drink by club time!
I have an early start tomorrow so that The Motivator and I can attend Howard markets early to check out our snap button jewellery competition. Some of our customers have told us about this stall, so we are going for a look. It needs to be an early start so that we can be back in time to open the shop at 9am.
As it's rapidly approaching 11.30pm, I'm off to bed.

All Done
Tomorrow morning will be 'farewell' time as the kids head off to the airport to return to Sydney.
It's been a nice relaxing time, with lots of game time and a few fun outings, but mostly just being together.
The Motivator very generously allowed me to take extra time off, even though I'll be away for 6 weeks soon. She's a good egg.
This morning, we left early to attend the Maryborough markets. It wasn't as good as I remembered, but I got some Himalayan salt and some fresh fruit and veg while we were there.
I wasn't feeling the best, so our plan for ten pin bowling was set aside and we drove to The Bay to eat some food. Aquavue was our choice of cafes and I had GF pancakes with banana, bacon and maple syrup, which was quite tasty, though the pancakes were not as soft and fluffy as I'd hoped.
We did some grocery shopping at Go Natural, ran some errands for the shop and we were home by lunch time.
I still wasn't feeling very good, so I lay down for a while ... which turned into a 3 hour nap! The entire afternoon completely gone, but I felt so much better when I woke.
We decided on an easy dinner of fish and chips, but our idea of eating at the park was soon changed because of the strong winds near the waterfront. Instead, we brought it home and ate at our table.
Bubbles and Knight in Shining Armour formed a team against Adoring Husband and I for Trivial Pursuit and they pipped us at the post! Good game :)
That's it for our day.
It's almost midnight and I have to work tomorrow, so I'm off to bed.

Early to Bed
It's almost 8.30pm and I'm posting early so that I can head to bed.
I'm feeling very weary.
All this socialising and working and living and negotiating is wearing me out.
So there will be no photos tonight from the party, and no story telling about the party.
I came home reasonably early this afternoon, but Bubbles and BGWLBH were still out. They finally got to see the movie that we tried to get to yesterday. They enjoyed it very much.
We had a big nosh up of crispy skinned chicken, baked potato and sweet potato with a big salad for dinner. For dessert, Knight in Shining Armour made a Devil's Food Cake, but for some reason, even after an extra 20 minutes in the oven, it didn't completely cook in the centre.
He was very disappointed, but everybody loves gooey cake mix! I was happy with the outcome.
The Motivator offered me another day off tomorrow to spend with the kids, so we are all (except for BGWLBH) going to Maryborough to attend the markets and then go 10pin bowling.
We'll be leaving early in the morning, so I'm off to bed now.

Final Frenzy
We are having our final frenzy of fun with the kids before they return to Sydney.
I took today off work and we (the girls) drove into town to do some shopping, repair some glasses, return a faulty purchase, sit and eat breakfast and go to the movies.
While we did the first four things on that list, time got away from us and we missed the movie!
It was a very enjoyable day together and we arrived home in time to decorate the front yard, dress up in our wedding dresses, put on our Halloween make up, fill the scary bowl with lollies, make the Margaritas, arrange the outdoor chairs and we were sitting outside awaiting the first trick or treaters.
Our neighbour from across the road also joined us and she was dressed up too, bringing with her, a big bowl of lollies to offer the kids.
We had about three rounds of kids. The early birds who arrived before 5.30pm. The middle group who arrived around 6pm and then the late comers who arrived after the sun set.
It was a bit of fun and some of the kids were a bit surprised by our outfits, some even hesitant to come forward for lollies!
We had a rustic barbecue dinner and then played pub trivia ... I'm a winner, winner, chicken dinner!!
Now it's 10pm and I'm off to bed. Feeling worn out after two Margaritas and a naughty lollypop!

Mondayitis
It was a great day today.
One lady entered our shop to make some serious enquiries about our treatment room and how we were going to use it and promote it.
Other than that, not a single person entered our doors all day.
That's another first!
Three other shops in the shopping complex nearby remain closed, so we are wondering whether that is keeping people away.
JATOE is now closed permanently until sold, Jenny's Craft shop is closed until Wednesday and 'A Taste of Burrum' is closed until Thursday.
It gave The Motivator and I a good chance to catch up on all our news, both personal and business, so we thoroughly enjoyed that.
This evening, I have edited a few more photos ...
... and I hope to have tomorrow off work, instead of Wednesday, to go to the movies with Bubbles and BGWLBH and spend some time with them before Bubbles leaves on Friday.
This afternoon, BGWLBH and I walked and rode to the beach, while Adoring Husband, Knight in Shining Armour and Bubbles drove and met us there so we could walk along the beach.
The tide was high and the wind was strong and the beach was short! So we walked as far as we could and then returned home. I had two chickens in the oven and did roasted veggies and gravy to have with them. It was quite a delicious meal.
Afterwards, we played pub trivia. The boys beat BGWLBH and I by 3 rounds to 2, however, when adding up all the points for the rounds, we defeated them by 6 points. Haha.
They had been into The Bay today to see the movie "Geostorm" which they all left feeling totally disappointed with. I hope tomorrow does not see a repeat of that feeling!
It's now fast approaching 10.30am so I'm off to bed.

Weekend End
Here it is... 11pm on Sunday night.
I have a couple of photos to share from Adoring Husband's party, but once again, I don't have time to give a detailed description of the party tonight. I promise that I will, at some stage, tell you all about it.
I will attempt to find the time to edit a few photos each day and share them here, but I'm just not going to get the time to do it all in one hit.
So here are a couple of photos...
I had a very early night last night and was in bed by 9pm and asleep very soon after that. Adoring Husband was kind enough to wake me at 6.30am on my Sunday morning sleep in, by noisily placing my coffee on the bedside table.
He woke me from a very angry dream which made my day begin on a bad note.
BGWLBH, Knight in Shining Armour, Bubbles and I attended the Village Voices Celtic Concert in the local hall this morning.
It lasted for about two hours and was quite entertaining, although Knight in Shining Armour declared that he now knows that this type of entertainment is not his cup of tea and he wouldn't attend another!
BGWLBH sang along with most of the songs and clapped very loudly at the end of each set. She had a lovely time!
Afterwards we all got coffee from my favourite coffee haunt and sat outside while we drank it.
We returned home for some quick nosh up lunch and then played some board games until 3pm when Adoring Husband and I walked to our rear neighbour's house to have a drink for AH's birthday. Unfortunately, they were called away at the last minute to attend a sick relative, so they couldn't come to the party last weekend as planned.
It was a pleasant way to spend 2 hours and we had some good giggles.
It was an easy barbecue dinner with some baked potatoes and salad and then another game of Trivial Pursuit, which BGWLBH, Bubbles and I won as a team.
They all have a big day planned for the movies tomorrow while I'm at work. I hope to have Wednesday off work to spend some time with the kids before they return home to Sydney.
Right now I need to get some sleep. I don't want to start the working week sleep deprived. I hate that!
