No rest For The Wicked

I was up and at it by 9.10am.

Beautiful Girl With Long Blonde Hair was arriving this afternoon and there was still much to do to prepare for her arrival.

I cleaned the bathroom and toilet, made her bed, vacuumed and dusted in her room, vacuumed the hallway and my bedroom.

My bedroom was a job and a half because I had bags of books and journals lining one wall, a guitar and pedestal fan in one corner, cushions and clothes hamper in another corner. By the time I’d pulled everything out, vacuumed, found new homes for what shouldn’t have been there in the first place and then dusted, time was running short.

I did a couple of loads of washing, vacuumed and dusted in the lounge room, cleared the dining table and then jumped in the shower to make myself presentable, by which time it was after 3pm.

Time to prepare the baked dinner. Chicken, potato, sweet potato, pumpkin, snow peas, broccoli and home made gravy.

BGWLBH arrived at about 3.30pm and it was a very emotional greeting.

We have both suffered from verbal diarrhoea and haven’t shut up since she walked in the door. It’s been fabulous!

After dinner, we played our favourite - trivial pursuit - which she won (of course) but it was very close and all three of us played well. Lots of laughs. Lots of silliness. Lots of forgetting who’s turn it was. 

I’ve gotta say, I’m absolutely exhausted and tomorrow I start again in the shop to make it presentable for the prospective buyer on Tuesday.

So now it’s time to sleep … soundly.

Nite all. 

Hopeful

Today, I received a phone call from a gentleman making enquires about buying the shop.

He is bringing his wife on Tuesday morning to have a look around and discuss it further.

That makes three different enquiries that I hope to have an outcome for next week - just in the nick of time!

It would be much easier for me if the shop was sold - then I won’t need to clear out the stock, furniture and fittings.

Sales were much slower and lower today than during the week, but I well surpassed my happy minimum.

I had a long and interesting conversation with one of our long time locals. Everybody has a story and I love to hear those stories.

There was also a younger guy who is house sitting in Howard looking for meditation classes. I was disappointed to turn him away but took his name and phone number just in case I can connect him to like minded peace loving people.

I received my poster to stick on the window for the local “Know Your Rights” rally on 12th February. It’s changed locations from Lions Park to Traviston Park. 

Beautiful Girl With Long Blonde Hair is on her way, stopping in Armidale tonight. *Doing a happy dance*

The Motivator flies home tomorrow. I think she’s been locked out of the state for about 9 months! She will be happy to get home and we will all be happy to have her home.

We left the shop late because some regular holiday makers walked through the door right on closing time and took their time choosing snap jewellery and buttons.

At home, Adoring Husband and I cleaned out the cupboard at the end of the kitchen bench. It was full of old containers of coffee grounds and tea leaves which we tossed. We decluttered coffee mugs and tea cups and a few other odds and ends while debating the chances that AH is a bit of a hoarder!

I cleared a couple of drawers in the guest bedroom and made the bed for BGWLBH. Unwrapped a stack of coat hangers and put them in the wardrobe for her.

Still a lot of tidying up to do before she arrives but we’ll get there.

Monday will be spent at the shop attempting to make it presentable for the potential buyer.

I feel exhausted just thinking about it all.

My brain is turning to mush.

It’s only 8.30pm but I’m off to bed now. 

Have a great Sunday!

Nite all.

Ten More Days

There are ten days remaining in January and if I continue to sell stock at the same rate as these past few weeks, there won’t be much left by the time I close.

It’s now noticeable that stock in the shop is reducing.

Today was another amazing day of sales.

One customer returned for the third time today and I almost signed the shop over to her! She has certainly taken advantage of the 30% off sale!

I met some interesting characters today. 

A Dutch couple who were up for a chat and we talked about small communities that reject change and development and how it effects the future for younger generations as the aged population die off. It was quite interesting as they compared their community to this one.

Another woman in her 40s currently in a huge legal battle with her employer over unlawful mandates. She and 30 of her colleagues all fighting together and supporting each other, but what made her special was that she is wealthy in her own right and doesn’t ‘need’ to fight for her job, but is doing it for the rights of her co-workers and friends.

An older lady who arrived first thing in the morning and purchased a bag full of birthday and Christmas presents, as did another young woman mid morning.

A woman brought in her four children who were enjoying a “yes” day. THAT was an expensive little outing, but the smiles on those kids faces were priceless!

So it was a great day, but also another tiring day. There wasn’t time for any clearing or packing that’s for sure.

When I got home, I even lay down for ten minutes just to rest my weary bones.

Tonight’s dinner was an easy green chicken curry with rice.

Adoring Husband went for his first walk this morning but he overdid it and has been asleep in his chair for most of the afternoon and evening. 

I gave him a break from cleaning the kitchen tonight and did it myself as he slept.

Now it’s almost midnight again. No wonder I’m so bloody tired all the time 😳

Nite all.

Like a Lizard Again!

Flat out like a lizard again today.

Crazy busy with huge sales and I think you can notice that stock is reducing now - slightly.

Some of the better quality jewellery moved today.

People were purchasing bulk birthday and Christmas gifts, spending a LOT.

Usually I tally up the purchases three or four times a day - because I’m a firm believer that putting energy towards the incoming money encourages more through the door - but I didn’t have time to do that until the end of the day.

It was a very pleasant surprise!

I did have a quick 20 minutes to peel my fresh prawns and make a nice seafood sauce to dip them. I only got to eat 6 of them - the rest sat on my desk for three hours until I could munch on them again (much to Adoring Husband’s dismay).

I’m still alive.

Beautiful Girl With Long Blonde Hair is leaving her place on Saturday and heading in this direction! Wahoo!! Finally!!

This afternoon, AH had a teleconference call with the Parkinson’s Professor in Brisbane who is monitoring his condition. 

I was with AH when he first met this professor more than eight years ago, but I haven’t been with him on any other visits which happen once or twice a year. It’s been 2 yrs since the last appointment thanks to covid.

So today, I got to throw in my 2 cents worth during the meeting. 

I think Prof Silburn enthusiastically received my input and told AH that it has been scientifically proven that walking for 30 minutes at least three times a week improves the condition and it’s proven to last for at least ten years.

He also mentioned that AH has a slow moving form of Parkinson’s and that still being a young man, he needs to put some effort into his own health and ‘get moving’.

Thank you Prof S!!

He will also be changing one of his meds.

I felt good about that call and now I can get bossy with AH - you all know how I LOVE to get bossy with AH 🤣🤣🤣

It was nice to sit back with a cup of tea after the call and discuss/create the walking plan.

I think BGWLBH will be instrumental in setting this plan in motion.

AH cooked chicken wings for dinner tonight, which was nice after such a hectic day for me.

It’s now after 10.30pm and I’m feeling weary.

Nite all.

Comparatively Speaking

Today was my quietest day since Christmas.

Sales were good but with few customers.

I created an extensive ‘to do’ list and an inventory of furniture and fittings, which is quite intimidating when I think about getting rid of it all.

I cleared one drawer in the training room.

The day passed quickly and I had to empty a very full FROG box when I got home, but after that, Adoring Husband and I went for a swim in the large bath tub in the back yard. Honestly, the water was very warm, which is just the way AH likes it, but for me it doesn’t feel very refreshing to swim in water that temperature.

Tonight’s dinner was soft tortillas followed by berries and LF cream.

I’ve spent a couple of hours deleting photos from my iPad, but I think after 4 years, it might be time for a new iPad. It has reached its maximum storage capacity and I continue to delete apps and photos and videos with minimum effectiveness.

It’s already 10.30pm so I think I’ll go to bed now.

Nite all.

Not Quiet

When we drove past the caravan park this morning and noticed how empty it was, I expected a quiet day in the shop.

I was wrong.

It was a nice steady day that accumulated into great sales.

The Happy Hippy arrived early and spent her time steaming my pre loved clothes ready for me to price and display. There was also some excess stock that needed to be steamed and displayed.

I received two deliveries in the mail - one full of Poppy’s home made chocolates and one with four tops and some white jeggings from “Tulio”.

Blonde Bombshell was transferred from Brisbane to The Bay where she can commence her rehabilitation after her horrific car accident. Everyone is pretty excited that she is so close to home and it means she’ll get lots of visitors to help support and encourage her healing.

Unfortunately I’m a dirty unvaxed so I can’t visit. But I’m excited that she’s improved enough to be this close. We’ll catch up eventually.

The Speckled Hen came to the shop today. She still looks very fragile. It’s been a month (already) since she lost her partner. She was with his daughter today.

I had another visitor who needed to vent about her son’s drug abuse and the resultant estrangement from the family.

Life is always interesting in my happy place..

We left right on time and dinner tonight was chicken cooked in lime and honey with a side salad.

Now it’s time to sleep.

Nite all.

Out of Hand

Things are getting out of hand.

A cafe owner (Bar Wunder) in Toowoomba, who refused to discriminate against the unvaccinated was arrested on the weekend when the police broke into his home at 1am (!!!) and took he and his wife into custody. 

Another cafe owner in Capalaba was forcibly arrested without explanation (there is video footage) for the same reason and has now been evicted from the premises.

A woman my age was arrested by SIX police officers at Dayman’s General Store in Hervey Bay last week for declining to show her vaccine passport. Dayman’s don’t discriminate so it’s possible that they too could be arrested anytime.

New Earth Cafe in Coolum was visited by the police seventeen times because the owners and some of their staff were not wearing masks. All of them had legitimate medical exemptions.

Eventually, in December, the police arrested the owner, putting her into the back of a paddy wagon with no air conditioning in the middle of Summer.

They took her to a cold holding cell and refused to give her a blanket, telling her that she would remain there until her court case which could take 28 days. Thankfully she was released that evening.

During the court case, she was not allowed inside the court because she wouldn’t wear a mask. Over the days of the case, they changed the charges three times and finally they dropped all charges.

The emotional, mental, physical, business and financial costs are immeasurable and nobody would put themselves through any of that without good reason.

New Earth Cafe are now suing for unlawful arrest. The police make these arrests knowing the financial cost involved to fight back … and then they drop the charges … there is no compensation for these wrongful, unlawful arrests.

There are a couple of other restaurants, one in Mission Beach and I don’t remember the others.

This is happening in Australia. These cafes and restaurants have never had a covid close or casual contact linked to any of their premises and they all have a large community following that are supporting them every step of the way.

We need more courageous business owners willing to take a stand.

Check this out … Nuremberg 2.0

I stole the following from an online group that I follow …

Perhaps they don’t realise that the people they are restricting access to society are those who are:

Creatives; willing to find ways to live outside of the box, those who get inspired by challenge to find their own solutions 

Rebels; who have been misfits many times in the past so they are immune to being excluded 

The Wild Ones with deep connection and reverence to the land, who know nature has everything they need 

Old Souls who have seen this all before and have been persecuted over lifetimes for doing things differently 

The Healers who are resourced with tools and modalities outside of the mainstream to restore balance and vitality 

Rainbow Warriors who know what’s sacred and aren’t afraid to stand strong in their convictions 

Inner Peace Seekers who were already adopting a slower way of living and detaching from commodities 

Optimists with an inner knowing of what really matters who can adapt their perspective to see the blessings that difficulties can bring 

The Stubborn Ones who will not bend to coercion no matter how tight you squeeze, who will find ways to adapt to obstacles before going against their truth

Intuitives who trust their inner voice before any external noise  

The Lions and Lionesses who will fiercely protect their young and will stop at nothing to hold the line as you awaken the fire within 

The Sovereign ones who won’t be threatened into backing down because they have already made their choice

Stay strong, hold the line ✨

I think I’ve had enough rest to face another week of “busy” and hopefully it will be busy enough to match last week or better.

Still SO MUCH to do and finalise!

AND I have to prepare for my farewell party on 29th January 😩

Gawd. So much to do, so little time.

I guess I should get some sleep so that my brain works properly tomorrow.

My girls …

Nite all.

Recovery Day

Boy oh boy did I need this Sunday as my recovery day. 

I got up to make breakfast.

For Adoring Husband, bacon, mushrooms, grilled tomato with a side of pancakes and maple syrup.

For me, Canadian pancakes - bacon, banana and maple syrup.

During breakfast we watched a nice move on Netflix called “The Tomorrow Man” with Blythe Danner and John Lithgow. It was odd but interesting, with some warm messages and an unexpected ending.

Then I returned to bed where I napped and played Words With Friends, watched some YouTube videos and hung out in Facebook for a while.

I dragged myself out of bed to cook a baked dinner of chicken, potato, sweet potato, carrot, onion, cabbage and cherry tomatoes with home made gravy.

We watched IACGMOOH and saw Davina evicted.

We then switched channels to watch the cricket only to discover that Australia had already won, with a day remaining! 

I’m back in bed and it’s 10pm so I might play a few games of WWF before snoozing.

I found this on YouTube today and it piqued my interest.

Too Old (parts 1 & 2)

I am definitely feeling my age! (See! I was so tired yesterday that I forgot to hit ‘publish’)

I’ve made the same amount of money in four days, that I usually make in a month which equates to a regular stream of people through the doors that I have to be nice to and converse with and to whom I give my energy.

It’s draining.

I don’t hate it! 

I’m just tired.

Sales were great and even better than yesterday, but still, the displays are all full and it doesn’t look like much has moved.

I gathered a lot of empty jewellery displays and packed them to give to a local jewellery artist.

Some of the furniture has been tagged as ‘sold’ and will be taken next month.

Both of my bins are filled to capacity with chopped up empty boxes, foam casings and plastic bags.

I’ve started a list of names and phone numbers of new people who want to do an art class if I run them from home. There are five on the list already, but I’m not sure if I’ll have classes or not. I’ll wait until my grieving period has passed and I’ll see how I feel.

We left work promptly at 2pm and I’ve had little energy all afternoon, although I did do two loads of washing.

Adoring Husband made his own paleo pizza for dinner. I had half a bottle of ginger kefir.

I can’t believe it’s 11pm already!

Sleep time for me.

Nite all.

Saturday 15th January 2022

Hulloooooooo!

A HUGE Saturday of sales.

I was very busy from 9am-11am then one hour of emptiness and silence followed by very busy from 12pm-1pm.

I used the quiet hour to clear out some drawers in the training room, sorting through the paints and getting rid of some empty tubes. I washed the dishes and packed up my paint brushes, of which there are approximately 80!

It was nice to come home, make some lunch and put my feet up for a while - until dinner time when I made a savoury lamb mince. 

I cut the cheeks out of 10 mangoes and bagged them for freezing.

Now it’s just after 9pm and I’m all snug in bed and have just phoned Number One Son for his 40th birthday. How did he get so old???? He gave himself a nice birthday present by injuring his knee while playing cricket.

Oops I got distracted and now it’s almost 11.30pm!

Nite all.

So Great!

What an amazing day!

Sales were the lowest for the week so far but still great.

The number of like minded people who entered the shop today was mind boggling. All but two of them from out of the area. All of them with their own and their family’s covid stories. All with special anti virus recipes to share. All with new websites to explore. All with their own opinions about the mainstream narrative.

There were two X-nurses one of whom became a naturopath but is now retired from that, one a Doctor recently de-registered for refusing the vax, one childcare worker with 16 years experience no longer working for not getting jabbed and two public servants who have refused to be jabbed. Two of our local unvaccinated people.

Such great conversations. I felt supported and energised at the end of the day.

I had time to clear some stuff out of the storage shelves ready for Adoring Husband to chop it all up and toss in the recycling bin.

I had time to make and eat my prawn lunch.

I received a delivery of kefir - fermented ginger drinks that I ordered on the weekend. OMG delicious!

I’m planning out our new healthy lifestyle. With more time to dedicate to us, we are going to be the super heroes of our own lives and I can’t wait.

It was exciting to see that as of 15th January, they are relaxing the border restrictions and Beautiful Girl With Long Blonde Hair will be heading this way very soon! Finally! Just in time to help me finish up in the shop! 

We left work right on time.

Instead of my usual anti-inflammitea, I sampled my new Pine Needle tea which I ordered through the FROG box yesterday. It is an anti-viral tea that is apparently all the rage for Covid recovery as well as creating Covid immunity. 

The taste reminded me of a medicine I used to take as a child! It must have been a good memory because the taste didn’t disgust me.

We had bangers and mash with broccoli and home made gravy for dinner. So good!

I think I need an early night.

Nite all.

Another Day …

The day was a little slower, but sales were still fantastic, especially with a huge boost in the final 30 mins.

For all the days of great takings for the last 2 weeks, you’d think the shop would start looking emptier, but it’s not at all!! It still looks very full of stock.

I found a box of clothes in the change room today, so there are 8 jumpers and 6 pairs of black leggings now hanging on the racks that weren’t there before.

I sold quite a few of the high end items today, which is good.

Beauty came for a quick visit in the morning. She’s back from her latest road trip and it was nice to get a hug from one of my girls.

I had time to make AND eat some lunch! Prawns with avocado, mango and seafood sauce. Thanks to Adoring Husband for stopping at Craignish for the prawns after picking up the FROG box.

We got out of the shop on time and my only chore when we got home was to empty the FROG box.

I made my usual tea and did my usual “putting the feet up” thing.

AH cooked chicken wings for dinner.

It’s almost midnight and I’m yawning uncontrollably.

Nite all.

Three Times

I was SO busy today that I only had time to boil the jug three times - eventually making myself a cup of tea on the third attempt.

At one stage there were 15 people in the shop and I can’t remember it being completely empty at any point.

I smashed my sales record again and I’ve gotta say it was an impressive tally.

Thank goodness Adoring Husband could see how exhausted I was and quickly closed the shop at 2pm before anybody else could sneak through the door.

I received an invitation to sit on a committee for the “Know Your Rights” group which is holding a rally in the Lions Park on 12th Feb. There’ll be a sausage sizzle, a coffee van, entertainment as well as a very knowledgeable guest speaker who will provide lots of information as well as answer any questions.

I declined because I have enough on my plate for the next month and I don’t want to add stress, however, I’ll help promote the rally and invite people along.

During the day, a woman said to me “Oh I wish we lived in the area. I’d buy the shop, but I don’t think my husband would agree to moving.”

I replied “You should ask him because you never know, he might just surprise you!”

As I left the shop at closing time, she called out to me from the footpath and we met halfway along the driveway where she asked me for more details about the business.

It was a genuine enquiry from an experienced business owner and I was honest with her, and she thanked me for my honesty. In return she was honest with me asking me to not get my hopes up because she didn’t know how her husband would feel about the idea.

It was a good conversation and even if nothing comes of it, I feel good knowing that she liked my shop enough to consider taking it on. I’d love to be a fly on the wall when she brings the subject up with her hubby.

I couldn’t wait to sit down this afternoon and my body thanked me as I leant back in my chair and put my feet up while I drank my usual tea.

AH cooked our chicken thighs on the barbecue while I made the salad.

It’s now 9.30pm and I’m definitely ready for some sleep. I wonder if tomorrow will be another blinder?

Nite all.

Fancy That!

In October 2019, some very wealthy and important people gathered together for a practice run of a global pandemic to discuss all the issues that they would need to overcome - like how to keep big business operating, how to curb fake news/misinformation and how to control the masses.

It was called Event 201 and there is a website with videos showing small snippets of discussions, presentations and speeches by powerful people.

You can watch these videos here … Event 201

Despite an early start, my Monday has been very pleasant.

At 8am I met The Gypsy at the shop and we spent 90 quality minutes catching up. There was a LOT to catch up on and 90 minutes wasn’t nearly enough time, but it was very enjoyable.

Adoring Husband picked me up at 9.30am and I decided that I wanted Canadian pancakes for brunch. Into the kitchen I strode to make GF pancakes with caramelised banana, bacon and maple syrup.

It was delicious and exactly what my tummy wanted.

The rest of the day was spent in front of the TV.

Dinner was salmon steak with home made potato salad, home made coleslaw, green salad, kimchi, avocado and lemon. Also delicious.

I feel very refreshed and ready to face another closing down week.

Sweet Sunday

It was a sweet Sunday for me, but not so sweet for the flood bound down south.

While Maryborough’s flood barricade experienced a catastrophic failure because a wall in the underground storm drain failed, which caused the water to escape upward through the drain holes.

This caused flooding to a larger number of businesses than expected so people were scrambling to empty important documents, technology and stock from their premises before it was too late.

The flooding was just 35cm short of the 2013 record.

The bridge at Howard is temporarily closed until it can be checked for structural damage.

Meanwhile we are all protected in our Burrum bubble.

Although … a fridge washed up on the beach this morning! It was quickly removed but there is a lot of debri about from where the Mary River flows out to sea and the currents bring it in our direction.

I stayed in bed all day. 

I got up to make my breakfast and again at 4pm to make dinner.

Chicken mince with onion, garlic, cabbage, carrot, mushroom, white port, sour cream, salt, pepper, a touch of coconut sugar and a few GF pasta spirals.

It was dang tasty!

I think I shall go to bed to watch the last hour of “I’m a Celebrity”.

I’m meeting The Gypsy at the shop in the morning. She’s got an hour to spare until they need to go home and clean up the flood mess.

A couple of things you might be interested in …

Water Water Everywhere

X tropical cyclone Seth has given us a lot more than we bargained for!

Some places received 640+mm of rain in 24 hours - that’s more than a year’s worth of rain one day!

Right now, Maryborough and Gympie are waiting for the rivers to peak.

Best Cousin In The World, who has a farm on the Mary River at Gundiah, is surrounded by water and the river is the highest it’s ever been and the closest to her house it’s ever been!

This is what it usually looks like …

This is what it looks like today …

Scary huh?

All roads to their property are flooded so there is nowhere to go.

The Gypsy who lives in Dallarnil, west of Childers, had a river of water flood through her property washing away the veggie garden and and all the potted plants. The small town was damaged …

The bridge to Howard (20 mins from here) is under water.

We are fine here. No flooding and the rain has gone.

It was quieter than usual in the shop today. I well and truly passed my happy minimum but the weather certainly kept people away.

It was a pain in the butt when I was at my busiest, I experienced a blackout that lasted about 15 minutes. I had three people waiting to be served and no internet for the transactions!

Aggie came for a quick visit. It’s been a few weeks since we caught up so it was nice to see her.

I’m now looking forward to a couple of days off, maybe a swim in the pool and perhaps checking off a few things on my “to do” list.

Again, we’ll see.

Nite all.

Down She Comes!

Beautifully delicious heavy rain soaking into the ground as we speak.

I’m a bit concerned that my training room may have very wet inner walls by tomorrow morning.

As expected, the weather contributed to reduced sales today, but my takings were still fabulous - just half as fabulous as the other days of the week.

I met lots of new people today including many workers from the medical industry. One lady who has just been “sacked” from an $80,000 pa health industry job for refusing the vax. 

She told me that 50% of her family work in the health industry - nurses, doctors, lab workers, dieticians, physiotherapists, counsellors - a wide range. Of the twenty one family members, all but three of them have been stood down for refusing the vax.

One of the three, her daughter, was vaxed against her better judgement and while in tears, but she had a new house mortgage and she couldn’t afford to lose her job.

She said they all refused the jab because they’ve seen the results and have cared for the many injured in hospitals in QLD.

Nurses, including her daughter, are currently working twelve hour shifts because of staff shortages and they’re talking about bringing trainees in from the universities to help.

We had a long chat. It’s always interesting to hear other people’s stories.

Another young woman from Gympie hospital who only has one senior RN above her now and needed a break after working double shifts for 3 months due to staff shortages.

An older woman who lost her “carer” job for not getting the jab but has been called back to work because so many of those that were being cared for had to be put into hospitals and other facilities because there weren’t enough carers left in the work force.

Apparently exemptions are now being offered to bring carers back but they need to be tested daily.

I had a really nice visit from one of my neighbours this afternoon with her own story to tell. The division in the community is brutal and we are all hurting because of it. It’s not going to end any time soon.

I’m looking forward to finishing with the shop and withdrawing into my own little world where I can focus on our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. I’m going to avoid the world until all this is over … it’s going to be a long time.

Vaxed or unvaxed, it seems that everybody is over all the BS.

In NT the Premier just announced that the unvaxed are no longer allowed to go to work! They are not allowed to exercise for one hour each day either. They are only allowed to buy groceries or medications within a 30km radius of their home, provide care and support for family members who cannot care for or support themselves, and they can leave their home for their own personal medical treatment.

That’s it.

I have a feeling that the same rules will be brought in for QLD next week.

We’ll see.

I’ve enjoyed sitting back with my feet up, watching telly and listening to that lovely rain. It’ll be nice to fall asleep to the sound of it too.

At least I’ll be ready for sleep a lot earlier than the last few nights!

In fact I am yawning uncontrollably so I think it’s time.

This is the rain we are experiencing right now!

Nite all.
