Christmas With Mitchell

These are some of the photos take on Christmas day. We opened some presents before we left Leanne's home to go to Mitchell's place.
We had ham and eggs cooked on the bar-be-cue for a late breakfast. Then came the opening of the presents. The floor beneath the tree was stacked with presents. Mitchell was elected to play Santa because it was his first Christmas in his house.

This lizard was caught at my house when it was very small. Now, he is years old. He lives in a fish tank in Leanne's lounge room. This was his Christmas feast.

Leanne's Christmas tree and a couple of her decorations. They are all made out of china.

A great day was had by all. Most over eat. But I just nibbled. We had breakfast, lunch, and the evening meal, at Mitchell's home. We had to help him eat so there weren't too many left overs because he was going to be away for a few days.

I was taken back to Mackay on Friday morning by family, to rejoin my friends on the bus to travel home. We made a few stops to eat along the way, have rest stops, but we made home, late. Lightning flashed. Rain began to fall while we unloaded our bags to go to our homes. I fell into bed. Exhausted.

Crumbin Sanctuary Pt 2

Missed a day. was busy typing up the script I had been working on. This morning, I have been out doing some weeding. And remodeling parts of the garden with plants that don't need much water. The sun became hot so I came inside before I became burnt. And so I wouldn't doing more damage to the areas of the body which has been aching. So I'm setting some more photos to upload while I type up more work. These are more I took at the sanctuary. The first three are paintings on the tunnel the little train passes through. And where the people walk to reach a different section of the park. This selection I took while I took the train ride around the park. The legs were aching so I opted for the ride. I had enough trouble lifting my right leg up a short distance to sit in the open carriage. You can stop at different sections to visit different attractions. This is ...

Vision

This was taken when we went on a bus trip. The animals moved around the shopping center. There were a few different shaped ones. Kept the children busy while the parents shopped. Vision. A few days after I had hip surgery, I had this surreal vision. May have been from the effects of the anesthetic. Or the tablets I were given. I had been a sleep. I seemed to be in a different place to the ward I was in. The room had shrunk to a two bed size. There was a person in the bed next to mine. I could hear breathing but no movement on the bed. A doorway led to a single bed room. There lay a female of aboriginal descent. The room was mostly in darkness but for a small amount of light from the street outside the hospital. I could hear cars. Slamming of doors. Then came knocking on the outer door to the hospital. The opening and closing of the door. Footsteps thundering up the stairs. A shadowy figure passed through the doorway to my room then disappeared into the other room. The p...

Time to slow down

At the end of last year, I had to change doctor. Mine was leaving town. I had only been checking in every six months for repeat scripts. I didn't complain about what I was feeling because I felt he had lost interest. "You must remember you are getting older," was one of his comments. I did find a new doctor at a different clinic. Boy. What an eye opener. I didn't have to tell him what pains I had. He watched me walk into the room and the questions began. I was examined. What I'd been told was wrong with my muscles was wrong. I nearly jumped from the bed when he moved my leg the wrong way. He listened to my chest. Took my blood pressure. Then began typing on the computer. Pages came spewing out of the printer. I had to go for blood tests. X-rays. Scans. With each result I had to go for more. The only test I didn't like was the stress test. I didn't mind the tunnel scan. Except for being injected with the dye. The next day I had to return for the seco...
