Rainy Sunday

It’s 1.25pm on a lazy rainy Sunday for me and I am in bed doing my usual random research and investigations into random subjects.

Yesterday, my blog, which I didn’t post, was all about flu vaccinations. While my morning was full of enthusiastic energy soaking up all the information I could find, by the evening my instincts told me not to post it.

Which is why there was no post for Saturday night.

The beauty of having a blog is that I can express my opinion, most often a different opinion to the masses. Brace yourself! Here goes!

I have one interesting piece of information about Covid 19.

Because the worst hit countries don’t have the resources or facilities to test everyone for the virus or conduct autopsies on people who are dying, they are now including all deaths as Covid 19 deaths.

This includes heart attacks, pneumonia, seasonal flu, cancer and all people who die at home from any unexplained reason - I could list any number of conditions that can lead to death - because the medical industry is under so much strain and pressure, they can’t keep true and accurate records anymore so what we are seeing are skewed statistics.

The other thing that I’m really annoyed about is this new censorship in Facebook.

Anything that the WHO (World Health Organisation) doesn’t agree with is being banned on FB.

GOOGLE and Facebook are privately owned companies that have complete control over our communication and can cut us any time they see fit.

The first step is censorship so we don’t even have a choice anymore and we must only believe WHO - funded, sponsored, partnered with Bill Gates and Hillary Clinton who act as their ‘front people’ who in turn have huge investments in pharmaceuticals and vaccinations.

This is not a conspiracy theory, but a fact.

The history of human struggle has always been taken over by power and money at the top - the Kennedys, Bushes and Rockefellers - now the Gates, Clintons and Zuckerbergs.

Power. Profit. Control.

People in power use the McKinsey Global Institute to teach them strategies to overpower and manipulate huge corporations - but in this case those strategies are being used on us.

The strategy is fear.

Shut down the country to collapse the economy.

Lock down the people to suppress dissent.

Maintain control by imposed mandated vaccinations.

7.2 billion vaccinations = I can’t find the numbers or the words to describe or explain what it equals.

You see, as people are realising that they can control their own health and turn their backs on western mainstream medicine, profits from prescription medications are falling ...

... so the only alternative is vaccinations. Less time testing and no liability for injuries or deaths caused by vaccines.

GAVI - Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisations. Founded by Bill and Melinda Gates.

Controlling world health and creating the perfect storm to hand even more power to those above them.

When you take away the fear of the virus itself, it’s interesting to observe from a different perspective.

Thank goodness I’m enjoying self isolation!

No Grey’s Anatomy.

Lots of research and with every bit of info, I have more names of people, organisations, governments, corporations and legal battles to read up on.

It’s a world of intrigue.

It’s now 9pm and I am STILL in bed and STILL in my pyjamas.

Nite all.

Winning!

We went on a toilet paper hunt early this morning.

By ‘early’, I mean that we were at the first supermarket by 9am.

We needed to buy in bulk for the public toilets (which are supposed to be for the shop workers and not actually the public), but replacing a minimum 4 rolls every day means we need a LOT.

Not a roll to be seen.

Next stop HBW.

Not a roll to be seen.

But they pointed us in the direction of G D Products who are suppliers for hospitality, catering and cleaning where we were able to purchase 1 (only) packet of 48 rolls.

Whew!

We drove to Go Natural and bought some organic vegetables, coconut water and chicken feet among other things and then we scuttled home.

Two hours.

That was the most eventful part of our day.

The remainder of the day was filled with eating and Grey’s Anatomy.

I started my octopus painting on Thursday and it’s obviously a work in progress, but let’s keep an eye on the progress and I’ll put pics up every time I add some more. No judgements until it’s finished!

Now I’m yawning and it’s not even 9.30pm yet!

Nite all.

Light and Fluffy

It was a fun few minutes this morning when our husbands drove us, in convoy fashion, past Beauty’s house. We had balloons and signs and party hats, tooted the car horns and sang happy birthday to help celebrate her special day during this time of social distancing and isolation.

Short but very sweet.

And to keep this post light and fluffy, here are three videos 1. Some cute baby animals

2. Some monkey magic

And 3. The the cutest of all

I had a FaceTime call with The Motivator which topped off quite a socially distant day really!

We are going on a toilet paper hunt early in the morning so it’s time for me to sleep.

Nite all.

Man of Interest

I met a man.

Well, not face to face, but on the web.

We haven’t actually had ANY interaction but through videos, his website, his live feeds and his interviews, I’ve come to know his credentials, his belief systems, his passions and his goals for the future.

He is a genius.

He is the man who invented email.

He has been working in the fields of science, engineering, electronics and technology for about 40 yrs.

He has won numerous industry awards, been featured in numerous network media, magazine and newspaper articles, has both lectured and been the key speaker at numerous industry events, has written numerous books and invited to write chapters in other journals and books, won a Fulbright scholarship and spent two years studying the differences between mainstream western medicine and Ayurvedic (one of the oldest holistic “whole body” healing systems developed in India 3000 yrs ago) healing just to mention a few.

You can read his 20 page CV here

So he has always been a highly regarded and highly sought after man in his field until ...

He began speaking the truth about how some media, science and governments are corrupt and controlled by “money” and where that money is coming from. How Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, the Clintons all discovered that the fastest way to increase their already massive fortunes was to “invest” in the pharmaceutical industry, in particular, vaccinations.

He is running as an independent for US Senate in the Nov 6 elections so his voice is being heard much further afield.

So much more.

Of course now that he’s spoken up about the “powers that be”, the media have labelled him a quack - as they do about anyone that moves against conformity and the mainstream ideals.

He has friends in high places, is articulate and has a lot to say about Covid19 and the current global situation which he is sharing with anyone who cares to listen.

I care to listen.

I just did a little research on Italy’s health system and seasonal flu statistics. You can follow along here

In Italy, during the 2016/2017 flu season (Winter) 24,981 people died of seasonal flu.

In Italy, 21,067 people have died of Covid 19. The first recorded death there was 31st January - 2 Chinese tourists in Rome were diagnosed, followed by an Italian man who had just returned from Wuhan.

Italy’s public health care system is corrupt and mismanaged. The waiting list is long and people are getting sicker waiting for Doctor and specialist appointments - therefore leaving them vulnerable to viruses like flu or Covid 19.

That is the reason they stand out in this current pandemic.

USA is similar in that health care is so expensive that people in the lower socioeconomic community can’t afford the care or the medications, so they will die from both lack of medical intervention AND because their financial situation reduces their access to healthy food and the education to learn about nutrition, therefore their immunity is low.

Australia really is a lucky country because we are an island that can easily close its borders to the rest of the world, we have one of the best health care systems in the world and there is space to distance ourselves.

However we are not immune to corruption and fear mongering.

There is more to know and understand regarding Covid 19 if we care to search, look and listen.

That is all I have to say about that for now.

Wishing Beauty a very happy birthday for Thursday 🥳🌻

Nite all.

5 Things

Five things for which I’m grateful today:

1. Morning breathing exercises to free my mind.
2. Seeing the beautiful smiling face of my friend in the flesh - brief though it was AND without the usual warm hug.
3. Fresh sweet juicy pineapple.
4. Regular pics from Vegan Chickie sharing her family life during self isolation.
5. Some new ideas for some art to try - even though I didn’t get to do it today.

I watched some YouTube videos to get some ideas for art and I really love one of the octopus paintings and a beachy flip cup pour so they’ll be my first attempts this week.

The octopus is by artist Ashley Kreiger from USA. She travels with her family around US finding inspiration for her art and she has a few different styles that she teaches via YouTube.

The other one is by a lady from the Sunshine Coast, Julie Cutts, who has a YouTube channel and runs workshops at her home in the mountains. I was hoping to participate in one of her workshops when Adoring Husband and I were on our holiday, but the only one she had running was on the day we left.

I’ll aim for Thursday to attempt these paintings.

I’ve also decided that once a week I’m going online to buy something hand made (in Australia). It’s my way of helping to support creative Aussies during this stupid pandemic, especially since the markets can’t operate.

Melissa Shipway on the Sunshine Coast was my first choice. Her website Bombtrinkety is here

I’ll put most of my purchases away for birthday and Christmas gifts.

It’s almost 11pm so I think I’ll head off to bed.

Nite all

Too Cool

The water was way too cool for swimming today.

It’s been over a year since it was done, so I decided to start clearing out the pantry. One purple garbage bag later, two and a half shelves were cleared, culled, cleaned and restocked.

I could have pushed myself to finish the entire pantry, but I didn’t feel like it - simple as that 😬

So I stopped and watched some more Grey’s Anatomy.

I found this. It was created by Leonie Dawson, whose yearly planners I bought for three years.

It’s now been three weeks of isolation and I’m beginning to miss my social routine, so that means, sometimes I’m going to feel like poo 💩 and I’m sure I’m not the only one!

So I made another list of things I can do to cheer myself up or ease that ‘poo’ feeling.

• Go outside in the sunshine
• Write letters to my family
• Watch a sunrise or sunset
• Listen to music
• Read my favourite book
• Use my essential oils
• Watch comedies

Some other things to Do when I’m not feeling so ‘poo-like’

• Create a jar to fill with gratitude notes
• Create a time capsule of “time in quarantine” in a box
• Have a candle lit dinner
• Stick positive affirmations around the mirror
• Take a tour using google maps
• Make fermented vegetables
• Write a bucket list

My old photography group had a 2 hour challenge this morning. The teacher set the theme of ‘PLASTIC’ at 10am which gave us til midday to complete it. Problem for me was that I didn’t see the challenge until 11.40am.

I posted this at 12.01pm and therefore was not in the running.

He’s going to have these challenges on a regular basis during our time of isolation, so that will be a nice distraction.

Time to watch one more episode of Grey’s before going to bed.

Nite all.

A Giggle

Let’s start this post with a giggle ... Sarah Millican is always good for that!

Let’s follow that with some education and learn some Spanish ...

• The Spanish word for ‘bread’ is PAN
• The Spanish word for ‘beach’ is PLAYA
• The Spanish word for ‘swimming pool’ is PISCINA
• The Spanish word for ‘dog’ is PERRO

So ...
“walk your dog on the beach” becomes “pasear a su perro en la playa” and
“eat some bread by the pool” becomes “comer pan junto a la piscina”

If you change the “ate” at the end of our English words to “ar”, it becomes Spanish. For example:

• celebrate becomes celebrar
• activate becomes activar
• calculate becomes calcular
• create becomes crear 
• operate becomes operar 

That’s your mini Spanish lesson for the day. I’m not sure why I chose Spanish, but there you go ... you learn something new every day!

I had a most pleasant day today and changed it up a bit by spending a couple of hours here ...

The water was 25°C which is way too cold for Adoring Husband but he came outside in the fresh air to read under the Bali hut while I swam and stretched and exercised and soaked up that beautiful sunshine ☀️

Afterwards, I did this ...

Cucumber, celery, spinach, apple, mint, coconut water, filtered water, tonic water and 6 drops of zinc.

THEN it was back to Grey’s Anatomy!

Hainan Chicken for dinner.

 

Nite all.

More for Immunity

Despite what “they” told us for decades, fats and oils are vitally important for strong immunity and health.

Fat is the most concentrated source of energy - more than double that of protein or carbs.

The brain is 60% fat.

Fat carries the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E & K and aids in their absorption in the intestines.

Fats and oils to avoid are soybean, rapeseed, sunflower, canola, rice bran, cottonseed and margarine. One of the many reasons to avoid them is because they use short chain alcohols like methanol, propanol and isopropanol to process them.

If you want to know more about the process ... Fats and Oils Industry

The good fats and oils (excluding food sources) are:

Coconut Oil:  The coronavirus is a lipid-coated virus that pegs out in the presence of medium-chain triglycerides–and coconut oil is our best source of these healthy fats.

Saturated Fats: Coronavirus has an affinity for the lungs, and the lungs can’t work without saturated fats, so eat plenty of butter and avoid all industrial fats and oils.

Excellent food sources of healthy fats are:

• Avocado
• Eggs
• Fatty fish like salmon, sardines, trout, mackerel and herrings
• Nuts (not peanuts or cashews which are legumes) almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamias, brazil and hazelnuts to name a few
• Chia seeds (29g contain 9g of fat)

There were two people from Burrum Heads confirmed with Covid 19 on Wednesday so we need to remain vigilant. This is not a rumour, but straight from the horse’s mouth.

It is midday as I write this and I’m about to get out of bed (yep still in bed researching lol) and make some lunch, which includes a green smoothie for me. 

I can’t decide whether to binge watch some more Grey’s Anatomy - I am up to the middle of season 5 and there are 17 seasons all up - or do some art or perhaps some much needed housework! Maybe a swim?

It doesn’t matter much does it? I like the breezy life that contains no real responsibilities or expectations.

I’ll add more tonight.

Well, you guessed it. Grey’s was the order of the day. It was harrowing! It was the season where Izzy Stevens got her brain tumour and George O’Malley died

007 *gasp* IT’S GEORGE!!! John Doe is George!! John Doe is George!!

😢😭😭😭😢

I am emotionally exhausted 😩

So it’s bed time for me.

Nite all.

A Good Friday

More Grey’s Anatomy.

I succumbed to my weakness for potato tonight and made these ...

I think they’re called potato puff muffins or something and I added bacon and onion to the mix.

Sour cream and cheese are usually NOT on our shopping list, but since our food options are more limited in the supermarkets these days, I figure that once in a while we can go outside our scope of genius and slum it with the plebs 😝🤪 haha.

The answer to my Facebook riddle ...

... is 5

1 rabbit
The 6 elephants were NOT going towards the river
But they all saw the same 2 monkeys going towards the river
And there were 2 parrots - one in each monkey’s hands

1 + 2 + 2 = 5

Nite all.

Worth a Try

Let me make this clear ... I am NOT a Trump fan, by any stretch of the imagination!

However ...

The advice he has taken on, and shared with the world about Hydroxychloroquine has some merit.

LA doctor seeing success with Hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid 19

Obviously, we don’t have access to this drug, but the next best option to help in our fight against the virus is 150 ml (that’s half a small bottle) of tonic water which contains quinine (apparently Schweppes is the best) along with 50-100mg of zinc.

The quinine acts as a transport chain to allow nutrients to get into the cells.

Zinc helps develop natural killer cells that fight viruses.

So even if you only have a cold or seasonal flu, this is an excellent remedy to help your body put up a good fight.

As you see, it is after 1am as I post this.

While I attempted an early night last night, I was awake 2 hours after falling asleep listening to Adoring Husband’s seasoned snoring. I even recorded it, much to his horror and as much as I’d like to share the recording here, I will spare him the embarrassment - even though I’d like to punish him!

I was awake from 12.20am until 3am.

I’m attempting to return to my pre-isolation bed time routine but at this rate, it might take some time!

Nite all.

Rules Don’t Apply

Obviously, the people of Hervey Bay believe that the Covid 19 protocols don’t apply to them.

People standing in groups chatting in the walkways of Stocklands.

Whole families of 5 & 6 strolling through the plaza and supermarkets, no gloves or masks or using the sanitiser available.

Very few people sticking to the ‘distance’ rules in the supermarket aisles.

People picking items up and replacing them on the shelves.

Nobody standing on the markers in the checkout queues.

The Centrelink queue at 10.30am stretched almost to the corner but there was no distance between any of those people.

The traffic was really busy and even the carparks were much fuller than I expected.

Apparently, there will be police presence at the supermarkets on Thursday because the day before Good Friday is renowned for being crazy at the best of times.

We had to take psychotic dog Ruby into the vet to get her allergy injection at 10am. We arrived 10 minutes early and I took her in on my own and I was sitting back in the car before 10am.

From there, we were on the search for some toilet paper to replenish the stock at the shop toilets. Despite our valiant efforts, we were, once again, unsuccessful!

We were able to buy enough meat to make up the dog food for the next couple of weeks and a few other essentials.

We were home by 11.30am and I opened The Happy Abode for a local person to make some purchases for birthday and anniversary gifts.

There’ll be no Grey’s Anatomy tonight because there have been too many 2am bed times and I can feel it catching up with me.

It’s 9pm and I’m off to bed!

My score was 7 😋

Nite all.

I Love You

While you are self isolating with someone you love, I thought you might like to learn to say “I Love You” to them in different languages.

Phillipino - Mahal Kita
Spanish    - Te Quiero
Samoan    - Oute alofa is oe
Italian      - Ti amo
Swedish   - Jag älskar dig
German    - Ich liebe dich
Hawaiian - Aloha wau iā ‘oe
Irish         - Is breá liom tú

Now, go spread the love!

H

It’s midnight ... again 😳

Nite all.

The Sunshine Vit

When I first moved to QLD, 12 years ago, I was very ill with hyperthyroidism and vertigo.

My weight had dropped so rapidly that my muscle had wasted away and I needed assistance to stand up.

The Doctor wanted to remove my thyroid, which I refused.
The Doctor wanted to inject my thyroid with radioactive iodine, which I refused.

I agreed to take quadruple strength medication for a short period of time to level the thyroid hormones, followed by normal strength medication until I decided to stop approximately 9 months later.

My thyroid readings were normal the last time I had blood tests which was about 5 yrs ago.

When I was sick, I had a chronic Vitamin D deficiency, which the Dr told me was common with any serious illness. Vitamin D keeps your immune system strong and fights diseases and viruses, so if you are deficient, you’re ability to fight illness is reduced.

Vitamin D helps your body create ‘cathelicidins’ which are an anti microbial, which helps destroy microbes by disrupting their membrane.

Incredibly important to reduce your chances of contracting Covid 19.

The Vitamin D - antimicrobial peptide pathway and it’s role in protection against infection

Or go to pages 19 - 23 for the summaries

Much easier to read ...

Foods that provide Vitamin D are fatty fish such as salmon and sardines, beef liver, egg yolks and mushrooms.

Natural sunlight is the best form of Vitamin D - just don’t get sunburn - especially if you’re prone to skin cancers or melanoma. It’s worth noting that healthy doses of natural sunlight will also help your body fight off these cancers.

Vitamin A is also important for helping your immune system function at its best. It maintains your body’s natural defences, like the mucous barriers in your eyes, lungs, gut and genetals which trap bacteria and other infectious agents.

It helps with the production and function of white blood cells - which help capture and clear bacteria and other pathogens from your blood stream.

That’s it for your immunity lesson for the day!

I’m about to post on The Happy Abode’s Facebook page that we will begin phone sales/transactions for local customers and then provide a ‘knock and drop’ service for people who want to buy from our page. So keep an eye on the page.

I’m off to binge some more Grey’s Anatomy!

Oh and Adoring Husband wanted me to add a disclaimer. He has NEVER slapped me up the back of my head, has never WANTED to slap me up the back of the head and never will slap me up the back of the head.

Nite all.

End of Day 15

Fifteen days in self isolation.

Today I am grateful for:

• My Life. I have everything I ever wanted.
• Adoring Husband not smacking me up the back of the head when I get narky and snappy.
• Fresh limes 

It’s already after midnight so ...

Welcome to week three of isolation!

Nite all.

PS Even though this post seems like I’m not happy today, I really am, but I am forcing myself to go to bed instead of watching Grey’s Anatomy all night!
