Does this sound abusive to you?

My friends husband won't let her visit friends or family.

He's made her stop all contact with them unless it's by phone or computer.

He reads and censors her comments on social media.

He makes her feel like she's going crazy for thinking that he's controlling her and that she's being ungrateful, after all he's only doing this because of how much he cares for her.

He doesn't want her going to the gym anymore so she doesn't go.

He doesn't want her going to work anymore, so she doesn't go.

He told her, you've got to rely on me for income.

He doesn't let her go out anymore unless it's for necessities, and when she does he makes sure he has people in place to guilt trip her about it.

By now she is so weary, scared and miserable she will do anything just to have a life and feel less lonely.

He wants her to have a medical procedure done, that she really doesn't want to have.  He says if she does it for him, he'll let her start going to the pictures and for nights out with her friends again.

But even then, he wants her to download something on her phone so that he can trace her movements and keep track of exactly where she is every single day.  He says it reassures him and that its for her own good - because only he can keep her safe.

And to top it all off he's always telling her he's only doing this because he cares.

Did I say husband?

I meant Government.

Here's the funny thing in society.  We're outraged if we do this to a spouse, but when the government do it to us, we stand by and allow it to happen.

On the other end of the spectrum …

Peace is simplicity.

Peace is beauty.

Peace is genderless.

Peace is inclusive.

In these busy times, choose one day per week, as your day of simplicity.

For example, every Monday speak little. Listen with attention.

Do something nice for a person you are close to anonymously.

Eat simple, natural and most definitely FRESH food.

Create time periods for doing nothing at all.

Simply sit in silence and live the moment.

Appreciate each scene and each person as they are.

Remember - peace begins with you.

This could be a great New Year's Resolution.

Great day at the shop, finishing with another flourish to show good sales.

I got a lot of stocktaking done.

Only my last three customers wore masks. Everyone else walked in mask free.

A gentleman came by asking me to help him organise a rally in Burrum Heads to educate people about Covid, vaccinations and mandates. I told him he would have my full support but between the shop, a husband requiring care and taking care of my own mental health, there is no time for me to be organising anything. 

I will recruit the small but enthusiastic group of like minded people I know from this area. That group is about 25 strong and I’m sure they each know somebody else who would be keen.

Anyway, we’ll see what happens.

I had a lovely swim this afternoon. I swam 20 laps, floated, lay in the sun for 15 minutes and then sat in my egg chair to watch vax videos. 

I joined Adoring Husband in the lounge room until it was time to prepare dinner. Zucchini slice with salad and the chicken casserole was ready 30 minutes later. I ate a bag of lychees for dinner.

We’ve been watching the test cricket and really enjoying it.

It’s now 8.30pm and we are ready for bed.

Sadly, we lost one of our first Burrum friends last night. He was larger than life and brought many people together to form lasting friendships and strong connections over the years. Everybody has a story about him and his cheeky antics. He reached the ripe old age of 84 which is pretty miraculous considering how he abused his body over the years! He will definitely be missed but his memory will certainly live on through us all. RIP CB.

Nite all

Busy Everywhere

Our main street was incredibly busy this morning with parking spaces full, long queues in the supermarket and post office and even the other shops full with shorter queues outside.

My shop, on the other hand, was very quiet in the morning with just a few customers making small purchases.

This gave me time to get a lot of  stocktaking done.

Mrs Bucket paid me a visit, talking nine to the dozen, as she does. Plenty of news, some good and some bad.

Another lady decided to tell me her tales of woe. She was not happy and obviously needed to get stuff off her chest - so I listened.

Quite a bit of anger regarding the need for mask wearing in all of QLD beginning at 1am tomorrow morning.

I can certainly relate to that.

In the hour after midday, my shop filled up and I finished with a flourish making very good sales.

We have been enjoying the test cricket this afternoon and evening while munching on home made paleo pizzas.

It’s only 7.30pm but I’m feeling quite weary so I’m thinking an early night might be on the cards.

Nite all.

Rock Star

When we find the perfect parking space, I call it “rock star car park”.

When I find the perfect outfit, I call it “rock star outfit”.

When we get the best seat in the restaurant, theatre or cinema, I call it “rock star seating”.

Basically, anything that is perfect, smooth or problem free, I label it “rock star”.

Today, I had a rock star accountants appointment!

I contacted our usual accountant at the beginning of July because I was three years behind with my personal taxes (the shop is up to date) and the tax office was on my back.

I sent through all of my information and she sent me a quote, which I agreed to - signed the paperwork and then waited.

… and waited …

… and waited.

Ten days ago, that’s five months after our agreement, I receive an email telling me that she could no longer do my taxes.

Five months!

So I gave them a piece of my mind.

There is no question that I am in the wrong for procrastinating so long before rushing to get my taxes done BUT why did they wait five months to tell me!?

I also received an email from our financial advisor with copies of her communication with said accountant. It was derogatory and claimed that my paperwork was in disarray, among other things.

So today, I attended an appointment with a generic accountant.

There was a bit of a hiccup when I didn’t have my tax file number with me, but in one hour and ten minutes, this accountant completed all three years of tax returns and made comment about about how well prepared I was and well organised I was with my paperwork and figures.

It was easy, effortless and stress free.

So the other accountant can shove it! They were unprofessional from the beginning - we received private/confidential paperwork in the mail that belonged to their other clients TWICE and when we called about it, they told us to just throw it in the bin! Phone calls were rarely returned and they charged an arm and a leg.

They have also had three name changes and three addresses in 8 years. There was a three month period where they were uncontactable - no address, no email, no phone number.

I don’t recommend UNA for your accounting needs.

Anyway …

Today’s appointment was rock star terrific and I am a very happy chappy.

Sales at the shop were very good and some locals came in to say goodbye and to give me a farewell hug - just in case I closed before they got to see me again.

Aggie popped in for that visit too!

Tomorrow I’m hoping to finish my stocktake - but maybe I’ll be too busy haha.

It’s 10pm and it’s sleep time for me.

Nite all.

On-going

Tis the season to be jolly.

I did not break records today but sales were still very good.

Still more questions about the shop staying or going.

The crazy Stinger Lady dropped in with lots of new information for me to photocopy and read. We chatted for about an hour and both used colourful language and animated hand movements to express our emotional disgust, confusion, discombobulation, frustration, anger and disbelief about the goings on in the world.

One of the meditation ladies came for a visit. Last week she was very emotional and I gave her a long warm hug as she left. Today she was feeling much better and we talked about meditation and the positive ways that it was improving her outlook on life.

During that visit, Aggie poked her nose in the door but left almost immediately - you’d best pop back in tomorrow Ms Aggie! I was disappointed to miss out on a catch up with her.

I spent some time decluttering the sitting area near my desk. I figure I need to start doing a little bit each day to start clearing out.

I actually had time for lunch - prawns, avocado and mango. Yum.

Believe it or not, I did some ironing - just my five white shirts/tops. I love ironing … NOT.

Adoring Husband had his SES Christmas party this afternoon so after he left, I jumped in the pool, swam a few laps, floated for a while and then sat in my egg chair swinging and enjoying the cool breeze.

No dinner for me.

ANTI-inflammitea.

More fluffy Christmas movies.

I think I’m done for the day.

Nite all.

Records Broken

 An interesting interview between Dr Mark Hobart and x-QANTAS pilot Graham Hood.

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=408993524283821&extid=NS-UNK-UNK-UNK-UNK_GK0T-GK1C&ref=sharing

I broke my sales record in the shop today.

I was busy from 8.58am until 2.30pm - we even closed 30 minutes later than usual!

We counted five caravans on one side of the council caravan park this morning and maybe a dozen on the other side. We suspected that it would be a very quiet day in the shop.

How wrong we were.

There were, again, many locals coming in asking if it was true I was closing and again, pleading with me to stay. 

As nice as it is to feel their support, I know that when push comes to shove, they won’t be able to help me when the ‘the powers that be’ become even more controlling.

Unless a miracle occurs, I’ll be finished by the end of January.

There were lots of holiday makers and I discussed with all of them the Covid/vaccination situation. They were all ‘pro choice’ and all had underlying reasons for getting the jab - parents or friends in nursing homes, family interstate, their job required it or they want to travel overseas.

All of them said they wouldn’t have done it but for those reasons.

I asked every customer (28 of them) if they knew anybody who had Covid. The very last customer of the day said she knew a young 24 yr old man who had just been diagnosed, had no symptoms but now was self quarantining.

Anyway, there were a lot of very interesting conversations and six of those customers were also unvaccinated which was a surprise to me.

The day passed very quickly and I was shocked when Adoring Husband walked through the door because I had no idea that it was almost closing time!

When I arrived home, I batched up the bone broth and started another batch. 

I cooked salmon steak and salad for AH. I made a bowl of prawns, avocado, mango and the most delicious Roma tomato for myself with fresh lemon juice for dressing.

SBS was my channel of choice tonight and I watched a piece on healing phobias, followed by an interesting program about the future of the world and finally a show about Seventh Day Adventists and child molestation within the ranks.

All quite exhausting really!

It’s after midnight so I’d best get some sleep.

Nite all.

1930s cartoon shows how to take over the world

Looks and sounds a bit familiar.

This happened today …

(SUPREME COURT CASE LODGED AGAINST NT GOV)

United NT Businesses is an organisation that was put together by NT local businesses to represent all NT businesses. 

The organisation is upwards of 500 businesses that are funding legal action against the NT mandates challenging the legitimacy of the legality of CHO55 and the pandemic governmental action.

There is a FULL press release that I’m unable to share here.

My day has been full on.

We left home around 10am.

Stopped at G & D Products to grab some paper bags with handles. HBW were out of stock.

From there we drove to Go Natural where we stocked up on sauerkraut, goats cheese, dairy free cream cheese, raw honey, chicken feet (for bone broth), almond nut butter and other goodies.

Nana’s Pantry for blocks of premium dark chocolate to make protein balls for Adoring Husband. These also required mixed raw nuts and I picked up some fermented ginger beer while I was there.

Next was Stocklands where I discovered that my favourite shop, Su Jus Cafe will be discriminating against the unvaccinated from 17th December, so I wrote a note which read …

“I am disappointed to see that from 17th Dec you will be discriminating against the unvaccinated. This is the last time I will ever patronise your premises. You were my favourite. Good luck to you.”

A mandate is not a law unless you agree to it - they have obviously agreed to it.

AH made an appointment to get his hair cut - that meant we had an hour to kill.

We stopped at Bay Audio to pick up some hearing aide supplies.

We are prepping in the event that Covid latches on to us so my first stop was the chemist to get some supplies that were recommended by one of my fave censored doctors. 

While I was in there, AH purchased a pooper scooper from Heaps Discount!

Coles was next. We don’t buy much from Coles because we choose to support our local supermarket, so I got some duck breast, lactose free mixed cheese, lychees, mangos, grapefruit, clothes washing detergent, toilet paper and dog food.

AH then attended his hair appointment while I purchased some fresh fruit and veg from the kiosk near the escalator.

Can you believe … no shoes … no clothes … no jewellery!

We stopped at Craignish on the way home where I selected some salmon steaks and some prawns.

We didn’t drive directly home because I had parcels at the shop to mail out and one to pick up from the post office.

After that was done, we drove home and I unpacked all the goodies.

No rest for the wicked.

I pulled out the slow cooker to make a big batch of bone broth

I dragged out my giant saucepan to make a bigger batch of hearty chicken and vegetable soup. Onion, capsicum, celery, carrot, pumpkin, mushrooms, garlic and chicken. Himalayan salt and lots of white pepper.

Then a smaller saucepan to simmer up a batch of natural quinine - only the peel of three organic or well washed grapefruit and three lemons simmered for 3-4 hours in 4 cups of filtered water.

Don’t lift the lid at any stage and when you turn it off, let it cool completely and squeeze the liquid out of skins into the liquid, then strain it into a glass container. It’s quite bitter so you can add some raw honey to help the taste

This is an analgesic, antibacterial, anti microbial, antiseptic and antiviral mixture. As a preventative, take one tablespoon a day. If you get sick, take it every couple of hours with zinc which propels the quinine into your cells for faster healing.

I chopped up the lemons to use for my lemon water this week and chopped/bagged the grapefruit to freeze for smoothies and slushies.

I peeled and chopped four pineapples to freeze too.

We ate chicken soup for dinner and we are watching another fluffy Christmas movie before bed. 

I’m exhausted!

Apparently there’s no coffee with the girls tomorrow so my training room can remain as it is and I don’t have to go to work early.

Bonus!

Nite all.

Party Time

Gregs Story 

“In the picture below, you can see the wires from my heart monitor against a background of Qld Health bed linen. 

I am a fit & healthy individual with no prior medical issues and no family history of cardiac issues.  

I had my first Pfizer “vaccine” in the 1st week of September 2021.

Later that day: onset of brain fog, slow to respond verbally and hard to concentrate. This continued for 3 days and then very slowly dissipated. 

Then: onset of shortness of breath. I was determined to keep going with everyday life and waiting for symptoms to subside. As I said, I have always been a healthy and fit individual that has never been troubled by health issues.

The shortness of breath continued to intensify until I was unable to breath in the prone position. Therefore, I could not lay down and could not sleep without feeling like I was drowning two weeks after the pfizer injection.

I presented at 1st hospital emergency and was treated for Atrial Fibrillation (AF) with a heart rate of 170, enlarged heart and lymph nodes and fluid around heart and lungs. I was seen the next morning by a chief doctor (the one that ran that hospital) who said I was ok to have my next injection of pfizer in a few days’ time. I kept telling the doctors that this had happened after pfizer injection, but they would not listen. I wonder if this has affected the treatment and contributed to any of the permanent damage to my heart that might have been avoided. I was discharged from that hospital with prescribed medication for AF and still in and out of AF!

I attended a referral to an external (outsourced corporate medicine at every turn) echocardiogram while still in AF (!) returning an ejection fraction of 34% and I was diagnosed with heart failure. No underlying cause was found for the onset of AF or heart failure. No infection or virus etc. 

2 days later, I presented at another hospital in the hope of being listened to about my adverse reaction. They didn’t listen to me either. My heart rate was 177 bpm and there was fluid around my heart and lungs. However, I was admitted, monitored and the heart medication was changed. Telemetry continued for 6 days in hospital and I started a drug called Amiodarone that can stabilise AF. But it’s pretty much poisonouswith nasty side effects the longer you take it.

Eventually, 5 days later, I had cardioversion, which is where they shock your heart with electricity to try to get sinus rhythm. It took 3 electrical shocks to my heart and it was successful for 4 hours.

After being home for 2 days, I was taken back to the hospital by ambulance as my blood pressure and heart rate were dangerously low. I had kidney and liver damage due to prescribed medication and passed blood instead of urine.Telemetry was continued in hospital and the medication prescription was adjusted and titrated. Still,no one listened to me about the pfizer injection. However, in 3 different hospital rooms in 2 separate hospitals where the rooms contained 4 people; in each room of four people, 3 of them were in hospital due to pfizer injection! The others were for AstraZeneca and all of us were being told it was not from the “vaccine”.

Telemetry continued until sinus rhythm with kidney and liver healing and then I was discharged.

The GP noted a high pulse rate? (100) and doubled my Beta Blockers.

I returned to hospital as an outpatient for a CT Angiograph that did not reveal any underlying artery or valve issues. However, my blood pressure was extremely low due to doubling the beta blockers, they said. Prescription for beta blockers halved and then halved again while still at hospital for that outpatient appointment.

My blood pressure continues to be low with heart rate in the 70s but is never stable even in sinus rhythm. It changes constantly and increases the rate or decreases the rate and I have taken to measuring the range of my heart rate as part of all my daily measuring of myself. However, sometimes my heart rate goes dangerously slow with particularly low blood pressure and my blood pressure fluctuates by up to 20 in a short space of time. I have never had a problem with blood pressure before pfizerinjection. I attended emergency room at hospital once again last Tuesday with low blood pressure and wavering heart rate while at rest. Still, no one listened about the pfizerinjection. I was described as a “difficult historian" on my discharge letter. However, one registrar spoke to another registrar on the phone at my bedside and they decided to withhold a couple of the medications.

Since doctors no longer listen to us, I decided to continue one of the medications to improve heart function and check this with my GP and continue endless daily monitoring of my blood pressure and my heart rate and fluids.

On Saturday, I started acupuncture treatment for AF.

I am still awaiting an outpatient appointment and results of the CT Angiograph. I still have not met the Cardiologist in charge of my case.

No doctor will discuss the effects of the pfizer injection with me.

The GP says there is “no hurry for 2nd injection” but will not/cannot give me an exemption.

I am having to have regular blood tests to check liver and kidney function and for results of the side effects of Amiodarone continue.

I decided to see a private cardiologist ($300) who said that the AF and resulting heart failure was from the pfizer injection and said they were seeing a lot of this. However, he would not report it as an adverse event and would not give me an exemption for the 2nd dose. He sent me for an echocardiogram and a myocardial perfusion stress test and I will see him in 2 weeks for the results.

I am now facing a forced 2nd injection or social exclusion and no income since I won’t be allowed to work due to mandates by The Queensland Government.

I have tried to do the “right thing” and I am now left as another forgotten Australian maimed by the “vaccine” and excluded from my profession and the “vaccinated economy”.

I am telling my story in order to create more awareness about these adverse reactions and the way people who experience them are being treated.”

*****************************************************************

After a good nights sleep, I was up bright and early preparing food.

It was a fun day at the art class Christmas party (I sacrificed my Sunday in bed!) which was held in the training room …

We all brought a plate or two each, our own alcohol and a wrapped gift.

We chatted and drank for an hour then loaded the table with food. 

Nibbling and chatting and laughing and listening to the Silver Fox tell hilarious stories about her family - we could listen to her for hours.

We played a game called Shame of Life which brought out the best, the worst, the funniest and the shocking in us.

I played Santa and handed out the presents.

After four hours of fun, we all packed up, cleaned up, hugged goodbye and finished for the day.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I drank half a glass of Ricadonna and half a glass of Pina Colada.

If we’re all still around next year, I think I’ll have the party around the pool.

Adoring Husband picked me up at 3.30pm, I made myself the usual tea and we watched three fluffy Christmas movies while AH ate all the leftover goodies from the party.

Tomorrow is going to be another big day. Even though my brunch date with The Gypsy has been cancelled, we need to go into The Bay to get some supplies for the shop and home.

So it’s 10.30pm and I need sleep.

Nite all.
