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.

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.

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

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.
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.
Fee’s story
“Firstly, my daughter has had every childhood vaccination with no reaction ever. Neither of us are anti vaxxers.
29/10/2021 First dose of the Pfizer vaccine administered at 11:10 am. By 12:53 pm her left hand was freezing cold, like touching a dead body. She also told me of a pressure type feeling in the back of her head.
2:12 pm on the 29th her left hand went blue/Purple. She told me her elbow felt like it was being grabbed by someone. Gave her panadol and Nurofen as advised by vaccine clinic.
30/10/2021. Left hand still cold but the mottling had lessened slightly. We both thought she was getting better. How wrong we were.
2/11/2021 We attended emergency. The mottling had deepened in colour, the pain in her elbow had worsened and the pain in the back of her head had increased slightly. 5 hours in emergency. They did a round of bloods, an ultra sound of her left arm and shoulder where they found no clot. Sent home after being told they had no idea what was going on. Possibly Raynauds Disease.
3/11/2021 Took her back to emergency that evening. The pain in her left elbow had worsened again as had the pain in her head. Her heart rate was elevated. She also began to lose mobility. I was watching my fit, healthy daughter disappear before my eyes. They admitted her at 11:00 pm that night.
4/11/2021. She was told by the Doctor on the ward that he didn't know what was going on but she'll be fine in a few weeks. She was released. By this stage her right hand had begun to turn purple. She was unable to walk without assistance from me.
5/11/2021 Take her to the GP. My daughter can no longer feed herself, dress herself, wash herself without assistance. The simplest of tasks she cannot do. Her toes and feet have turned purple. She is unable to feel the ground in her left foot. GP just sits there not sure what to say. Referral to the Neurologist with a possibility of Guillian Barre. Says that we can look at exempting her after we have seen the Neurologist.
12/11/2021 Neurologist appointment. Nerve tests conducted. He tends to agree with the GP's diagnosis of Guillian Barre. He admits to her hospital that day under his care. He notes there is a Neuro deficit on the left side. Speaks to her about doing a Lumbar Puncture. While we were waiting for him to type up the paperwork for hospital, I explained to her in words she could understand what Lumbar Puncture entails.
Admitted to hospital that afternoon. I was told I would have to leave even though on her previous hospital admission I was allowed in as her emotional support person. My daughter had never been admitted to hospital prior to these two occasions.
Lumbar puncture performed that afternoon. We stayed in contact via messages. Both her hands were claw like by this stage so we tried as best as we could to stay in contact.
13/11/2021 She's told by the Neurologist that her spinal fluid was clear and it was not Guillian Barre. He proceeded to tell her that they weren't sure what was going on but she has Functional Neurological Disorder. Told her that he would let the Physio decide what happens next. Despite asking him again why she was turning purple and mentioning the pain in her head, he said that it didn't warrant further investigation and that she needs to talk to her subconscious and tell it that she's getting better.
14/11/2021. She's told by one of the Medical Doctors that she is not to have the nursing staff assist her in getting to the bathroom. She is to walk alone. Again my daughter asks why she is turning purple and tells this Doctor her head is beginning to hurt more when she moves. She's ignored yet again and told it's blood constriction but they don't know why. They have her on panadol and Nurofen every two hours. It does nothing for the pain in her head or anywhere else.
15/11/2021 Im allowed in as her emotional support person. I ask the Neurologist if he could put it in writing what caused the FND. I'm met with stone cold silence and then no. Again we asked why she is turning purple and again no answer.
The Medical Doctor comes in after the Neurologist. I question the diagnosis etc and say to the Doctor that my daughter doesn't feel like they are listening to her. I ask what in the vaccine has caused this. They don't know. I ask why is she not allowed an exemption and what the guidelines are. They didn't know or more to the point didn't want to tell me. The Physio assessed her that afternoon and gave her some exercises to do.
16/11/2021. The Neurologist sees her again. Tells her that shes 21 and doesn't need her mother speaking for her. She asked again why she is purple and again is told it doesn't warrant further investigation. She tells him again of the head pain, she's completely ignored. She's told her dizzy spells are from low iron but her iron stores weren't that low but that's the cause of the dizzy spells.
17/11/2021. Shes disheartened by the lack of care shown by the Doctors. The nurses that cared for her we are most grateful for. She was released and her discharge papers clearly state the physio would follow up. We have heard nothing. There was meant to be a referral for an occupational therapist, never happened. Again no exemption and no idea if she would ever recover from this.
24/11/2021 Telehealth appointment with the GP. By this stage she had very limited use of her right hand, mobility slightly increased but the mottling was deepening in her hands, feet and now her knees. Her exhaustion levels are beyond high. The GP asks her what she would like him to do. He had spoken to the Neurologist who had informed him that her condition wasn't that bad. We requested a D dimer test to check for micro clotting. He told us to attend emergency for it and that was it. We said to him that we don't agree with the diagnosis of FND. He referred us back to the same Neurologist.
Over the coming days she became exhausted quickly. She was doing the exercises the physio gave her. Still no follow up from the physio. The mottling was deepening the more she moved. The pain in her left arm, hand and her back was excruciating at times. I was lifting her into the bath and out again. The pain in the head started to increase again.
30/11/2021 Her ankles and feet swell. I take her to emergency where she tells them that the GP has told her to have the D dimer test. Shes told there's nothing they can do and sent home 2 hours later.
3/12/2021 I take her to a different GP. We are both extremely exhausted by this stage. I explain to the GP everything that has happened and the concern I have around the pain in the head. She lightly touches the spot where my daughter says it hurts the most and she winced in pain. The GP reluctantly orders a CT scan for her brain. I nearly cried in relief that finally someone listened. She took the time to explain the possible cause of the mottling and most importantly reassured my daughter that her symptoms are very real. The CT scan is booked for next Tuesday. We are now possibly looking at Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome.
Its been an absolute living nightmare. To see my happy, healthy daughter be reduced to shuffling, constant and often debilitating pain. Yet we were ignored. Any mention of the vaccine just swept under the carpet.
This isn't the end of our story. I refuse to stand by and let my daughter be dismissed for what she's going through. The lack of any acknowledgement that the vaccine did this to her has turned from heart break to determination. And this is the vaccine they're recommending for 5 -11 year olds? They will have a hard time convincing my younger children that this is safe.
My hope by sharing her story is awareness. Awareness that this can happen and is happening Australia wide. I also hope by sharing her story, others who have also suffered an Adverse Reaction come forward with their stories and feel less alone in their fight for any kind of medical care.
We don't know what the future holds for her. There is every possibility she may never fully recover from this. We both hope that the Government begins to acknowledge the many who are suffering from Adverse Reactions and end the mandates that are effectively dividing the nation, friends and family.”
ðŸ˜
I’ve got a hundred of these stories and Senator Gerard Rennick posts some of them on his Facebook page almost daily - yet he is being called a spreader of misinformation and a far right anti-vax nut job. He’s one of the few politicians listening to people with vaccine injuries.
Today was another good day of sales at the shop with every customer complaining about the hot steamy weather while enjoying the cooling air con inside.
The day passed quickly but I can’t recall much of what I did.
I make a concerted effort every day to NOT order more stock - just in case - because I still haven’t made a concrete decision about the future of the shop.
My focus at the moment is to enjoy the art class Christmas party this Sunday and then I’ll have a commitment free month to figure out what to do next.
The pros and cons lists are pretty evenly matched at the moment and the mandate rules are constantly changing which just confuses matters.
Adoring Husband discovered a snake in the garage this afternoon. It was black on the back and yellow on the belly. About 3 feet long. He attempted to guide it back through the garage door opening and it reared up at him.
Then he lost sight of it.
When we got home from the shop, he moved as much stuff out of the garage as he could but there is a three seater lounge in the corner with electronics - which weighs a ton and requires 3 men to move it, so the snake could still be under that.
It also could have slid under the door into the house and found a nice little hiding space inside!
That made for an uncomfortable afternoon and I must say I feel a little uneasy - because I don’t know what kind of snake it is and I don’t know where the bloody thing is!
What’s the bet I dream about snakes tonight!?
Had a bit of a storm this afternoon with some cracker thunder. Light rain and no wind.
It’s almost 10pm. Gotta get some sleep.
Nite all.
On Wednesday night I was asleep before 8.30pm and except for a brief toilet break at midnight, I slept until 7am!
Hence no blog post.
I felt fabulous for the sleep - I obviously needed it.
Wednesday had been a big day with meditation early, big sales all day and the continuing procession of people asking me not to sell/close the shop.
I was fully energised for today.
In between customers I finally finished wrapping all of the Christmas presents and sent them in the mail. One box cost $50 to send!!!
Sales were again really good and there was more pleading to keep the shop open.
I received my package of Christmas gifts from Beautiful Girl With Long Blonde Hair.
I think we are going to get wet tonight …
Tonight was the debut of the Sex and the City reboot “And Just Like That” which Adoring Husband and I watched together. They showed the first two episodes and the second one was pretty heart wrenching! I wasn’t expecting that!
Now it’s heading towards midnight so I need to sleep.
Nite all.
Crazy day!
Aggie and Maid Marian joined me for morning coffee and were there until almost 11am. We were only interrupted by pesky customers twice so it was nice to be part of the conversations.
After they left, I started wrapping Christmas gifts to send in the mail, but didn’t get very far because quite a few ‘non-paying’ customers came through the door. They still needed my attention.
Sales were very low until 1pm when I had two separate customers spend a fortune and bolstered my sales considerably - making it a GREAT sales day!
Journaling class was very unproductive because there was too much news to catch up on.
We set up for meditation before we left and then stopped for groceries on the way home.
Dinner was giant stuffed mushrooms with a side of chicken thigh. I stuffed the mushrooms with garlic, onion, capsicum, grated sweet potato, chopped bacon, grated lactose free cheese and white pepper. I put two slices of cheese on top and cooked them in a hot oven for 15 minutes, then grilled them for 10 minutes.
They were delicious!
It is now way after midnight and I need to sleep! I have an early start tomorrow and I haven’t even finished working for the day!
Nite all.
It was an early start for me.
It was also a struggle because I got all absorbed in some video interviews with Drs and Scientists regarding vaccines last night and it was 1am when I looked at the clock and realised that sleep is more important!
Luckily I fell asleep instantly and my alarm woke me at 7am so at least I got a solid six hours.
Aggie was right on time to pick me up at 9.15am and we all met Beauty at Su Jus Bar for coffee and juices. I even partook of a delicious piece of GF mango cheesecake!
We all rushed around doing some important shopping - clothes, bras, Christmas gifts etc
At midday we all loaded our purchases into the back of the car and drove to Salt Cafe to meet The Brains Trust, who had snuck off to attend an appointment, for lunch.
Compared with the usual standard, lunch was a little disappointing. Aggie and I had grilled barramundi which was a little dry. Our salads were very different, each overloaded with different ingredients, mine with cherry tomatoes, hers with marinated capsicum and cucumber.
The other girls enjoyed their lunches, especially The Brains Trust who ordered a steak burger and the other two selected nasi goreng.
After lunch we browsed in the gift shop and walked down the stairs to Luxe where I found one nice white top to buy.
While conversing with the owners, I discovered that neither of them were vaccinated and we shared the same views. She added a packet of chocolates to my bag and a book that she had created that has some of her favourite verses and psalms from the bible.
I have, at various times in my life, been curious about the bible, but have never read it in its entirety. I was touched that she was offering me something that meant so much to her so I accepted it gratefully.
As I stepped outside, Aggie was finishing a phone call from our mutual friend who had just been to visit Bombshell in hospital. It was a positive report and even though she’s not completely out of the woods yet, it seems that she is healing well and is on the mend. There is still one more surgery to go.
We had one stop for The Brains Trust to buy some special coffee beans before we headed home.
By the time we were halfway home, I was feeling quite weary and ready for a nap!
There was leftover baked dinner that I heated up for Adoring Husband’s dinner, so that was easy and I’d eaten enough during the day that I wasn’t interested in food. I snacked on a couple of GF tomato flavoured long crackers later in the evening but the best part was my anti-inflammitea late afternoon.
AH and I watched a fluffy Christmas movie this evening before we both headed off to bed.
It’s been a big eventful tiring day and I am ready for sleep.
Nite all.
It has been a very pleasant Sunday.
After a good nights sleep between my fresh clean linen sheets (even though my sleep was interrupted by a massive storm) I woke around 8am.
Adoring Husband brought my lemon water and I had a nice lazy start in bed.
We had a lunch date at the Bowls Club with the Welsh Wonder and her hubby The Energiser Bunny so we made ourselves presentable and drove to the club ready to meet with them at midday.
We were a little early so AH got us some beverages and I put my keno on, then grabbed a couple of menus from the restaurant.
Our friends arrived and we chatted for about 20 minutes before ordering our food. AH and I both ordered the creamy garlic prawns with rice and salad.
The meal was very average, which was disappointing because many people have told us that the food had improved.
It hasn’t.
The Welsh Wonder and I decided to have a play on the pokies, but neither of us had any luck.
After two and a half hours, AH and I left them to finish their drinks and headed to the supermarket for veggies to have with our roast chicken for dinner.
Neither of us finished our lunch so we were feeling peckish by dinner time.
Roast chicken with sweet potato, pumpkin, potato, onion and broccoli with home made gravy.
Delicious
I have another lunch date with my girls tomorrow and here we are after midnight already!
Best get some sleep, but before I go, another covid jab story
Nite all.
We seem to have some intense weather moving rapidly north towards us!
I’d like to share Rory’s story.
*please note I have used key word ‘V’ to avoid this post being deleted* (vaccination)
As many of you may know my fiancé Rory passed away on the morning of 17 November.
I believe my partner was a victim of adverse cardiac reaction caused by the ‘v’
Rory regretfully had his first ‘v’ on the morning of the 5th of November. He started feeling heart flutters that evening, we put this down to stress as we were in the process of selling and buying a house and planning a wedding.
We never, ever considered the events that followed.
Rory had heart palpitations regularly at night, and again, we thought this was stress. 12 days later, Rory was up and down again during the night with his heart palpitations and an ‘uncomfortable’ feeling in his chest. We finally decided to head to hospital at 3am for reassurance.
Within moments, Rory went into cardiac arrest and died instantly in our home.
After 40 minutes of attempts/ CPR from the paramedics, he was pronounced dead.
He was 26 years old, with no pre-existing medical conditions. He played rugby, went diving and hunting on the weekends, worked hard as a plumber, and had his whole life ahead of him.
We had our whole life’s ahead of us!
Initial Autopsy report: unknown cause of death.
Further report focused on heart problems will take an extended amount of time to receive final conclusion.
I initially stated that Rory had chest pains prior to the ‘v’ and commented this on posts. This was in hopes of getting insensitive posts regarding his death removed, while we went through a time of utmost hell and grief.
The media attention we received was overwhelming and unwelcome.
- Why are young and fit people experiencing heart issues?
- Why are ‘v’ related deaths not reported on our 1pm updates or any media releases?
- Why is the government protecting the elderly from c19, but not protecting healthy young men from this ‘V’?
If we had known about these issues, maybe we would have thought twice about this, and Rory would still be with us.
For our families, this is about informed consent.
Why are we not told about these side effects and what to do if we experience them?
We need to talk about this.
Ever since Rory passed, I have had multiple people contacting me with their stories of their experiences (mostly cardiovascular related). Personally I have had both shots and was previously pro-‘V’, so have been on both sides of the fence blindly following misinformation.
I urge anyone who experiences any heart symptoms post ‘V’ to seek medical advice at a hospital immediately.
Please share this post to spread awareness about heart related side effects due to the ‘V’.
26 year olds should not be going into cardiac arrest.
Please keep comments sensitive to our families, I am not here to debate the pros and cons of the ‘V’ and will not be replying to any argumentative comments.
This is Rory’s story ❤️
Another sad vax story.
I’m beginning to hear the distance rumble of thunder as the storm approaches!
I’m feeling a bit weary now so I think it’s time for sleeping. Adoring Husband and I have a lunch date tomorrow which we are looking forward to.
Nite all.
