I got to cross off another item on my list today. Peter and I went to Gold Class movie and saw The Descendants with George Clooney in it. Was a good movie and going made me more determined to try and get out there and go more often.
I am on track with putting the $5 a day away, have read more books and constantly thinking of other things I can do. I also have bought tickets for the comedy club, now just to go before the end of March. Its helping with getting Peter out and doing things as well.
For the last few months he hasn't been coping very well. Well neither of us have really, but him more so. I am also trying to get some extra hours for personal care for Ryan and going to see about getting another night a week for overnight care. It will all come down to costs, so keep your fingers crossed for us.
I am lucky that I have some good friends, who have taken time out of their busy lives to spend time with me and let me get out what I need to. That they care enough about us, is more than I could ever ask for and for that I thank them.
Now back to my list. I am thinking of adding - go on the Brisbane wheel - to the list. Being terrified of heights, I thought this would be a great one to test my nerves lol. I also might change the flying lesson to a simulated one, just to see if I freak out in that or not. We were going to go to the Darling Downs zoo today for me to hold the snake, but due to all this wet weather we haven't been able to.
I also still haven't heard back from the group with the food van for the homeless. I will try and ring them tomorrow and if I don't have any luck with them, will try a different one.
Well enough crap from me for now. Take care all
A mix-match of stories from my life and my lapband journey of finding the hidden treasure under the flab.

My words of wisdom.
'Behind every great man, is a great woman'. How many times have we heard those words? But how often are they really true.
In this age of sexual revolution, where people are free to express their sexuality and not forced into a relationship that is unnatural for them, why do we still use this or a similar comment. Are we saying that someone who is gay can't be great? Or the single guy, raised by 2 gay dads, can't be great.
Here is a major newsflash. Not all women are great! Woman can be bad mothers, lovers, wives and friends. They can be bitchy, evil, vindictive and downright nasty. Now not all woman are like this, some are great woman. We don't say 'behind every great woman is a great man'. We don't say this because of the glass ceiling that women have had to fight through in years past.
I believe its time that our thoughts should change to reflect today's culture. We should applaud everyone for what they achieve, whether its with someone supportive behind them or because they had a knocker behind them.
The other subject I am going to brooch is the magazines that come out weekly. These should be labelled as works of fiction. If you head to a doctors surgery and read back issues, you find that most of what they wrote didn't happen. Such and such is getting a divorce, pregnant, married etc.
They will say that someone is a great parent and years later it will come out they abused their children. Or that someone who seemed above reproach, swindled a charity.
The sad thing is, that some people believe what is written and that they then 'know' these celebrities. It can consume their lives and this then leads to stalking. They themselves then tend to live in a fantasy world.
People forget this and get in and read about the real people in our society. Those that might be doing great things that aren't noticed. Those that don't have a publicity machine behind them, feeding the world what they want projected.
Let me tell you about my heroes. Most are people whose names no one has ever heard of. They go through each day making a difference in someone else's life.
As a parent, you will go to any lengths to protect your children. We have seen this with the Morcombes and with Zoe's Law. Its great that they have taken on what they have, but would they have done this if not for losing their children? Or would they have just kept living their lives they way they were? No one can say for certain.
Now the people I am talking about have taken on responsibilities that a lot of others would crumble under. These people are foster carers and more specifically those that foster severely disabled children.
Now as a parent of a child with a disability, I know that you get exhausted, frustrated, emotional and at times question 'why me'. I can at times, crave for the 'normal life' that friends have. Being able to go out when we want, do what we want and sleep when we want. And unless you have experienced this or full time caring for someone that you can't leave, you will not fully understand.
To me, people that take on this task voluntarily are saints or maybe just slightly insane lol. They are taking on children whose own parents found this type of life too hard to cope with. And where we have a say in how we raise our child, they don't. They have to live by department policy.
I had a friend who had 5 children of her own. They also fostered children with disabilities, having up to 3 at a time. One girl they had from when she was a few months old. When this girl was around 13 they asked to adopt her. Her mother refused to give up her rights, even though she had not seen her daughter since she gave her up and had no wish to. When she was 15 they thought she would not see the year out.
Now this girl had been with this family for 15 years. They loved her as one of their own. But due to the system, they could have no say in how and what her funeral could be like.
You will never read about these people or the many others that are like them. They go unnoticed by society to a large degree.
While not everyone can do what the above do, you can start to live. You can put yourself out there by volunteering in one of the many organizations that are there to help people. Even if you work, you can help. If you have an rdo, do something then, or at night or weekends. It doesn't have to be every week, if might be once a month.
Some of the things I have done for example, have been - school canteen, helping at little athletics, helping to grant wishes for Starlight Children's Foundation and helping in the Starlight room at the Mater Hospital. I have through Starlight taken Easter eggs to the children's ward at Ipswich hospital, done telephone counselling for lifeline, done the door-knock for cancer council, stood on street corners collecting for charities. There has been more but those are the main ones. Some were because my kids were there eg the school and little A's, but the others were my way of giving back to society.
And my last pearl for today that I read recently - To live you must go out of your comfort zone, otherwise you are just existing.

Two more off the list
Well I got to cross two more items off the list today. I went and had a very relaxing day having an hour massage and hour facial, followed by eyelash tint. All for the fantastic price of $112!! Have booked again for 3 weeks time for another massage.
Last week I had reflexology with Colleen and it was heaven, today this and next week I have an hour and a half massage and reflexology treatment booked from a voucher I bought. Soon you will be able to call me loosey goosey haha.
I am also doing some more vegetarian cooking classes and am making some of the dishes this week. I am having to put a heap of meals in the freezer. The reason for this being that when we now have takeaway it just seems so boring haha. This way we will have meals for when I am not feeling well or been busy during the day.
Ryan is heading into respite again on Friday, so we are hoping to get some more things off the list. If the weather is fine, maybe the Darling Downs zoo. If its not, then maybe gold class movies. Time will tell :)

On my way
Well I am on my way with getting through my 50 things list. Today I went to a vegetarian cooking class and am going to at least another 3 of them. So well and truly done this one.
I am hoping to get a small video camera and film what is happening. I also have another item for my list, so if one fall through I have extra. Its being in a drug line-up for the prison dogs for training haha.
I have also sent out an email asking about volunteering for a food van for the homeless. Hopefully will hear back from them by the end of the month. Its funny how when you start looking you find out all this info. I didn't realize how many soup vans there were in Ipswich and how many different organizations do it.
I have started to organize my party. Its going to be 60's fancy dress with a different decade theme on each table and a disco. Am looking forward to it.
This year I am just going to be a bit selfish and do stuff for me when Ryan is in respite, instead of the usual run around catching up with everyone that I have done the last couple of years. It sometimes feels like I have to make time for others, not them make time for me.
So below is a pic of me with Veronica at our cooking class with Ranchor the chef.

Vent, vent and more vent.
You would think that by now I would of learnt, but no I make the same mistakes over again.
Lets go back to Sunday. Woke at 4am with asthma, had a slight headache most of the day. Had lunch with friends from school and had a fantastic time. At the end of the afternoon, I was helping Jade to clean up the club and suddenly went pale, felt like I would pass out and then the aching started. Every muscle and joint in my body hurt, even under my feet. I had to get Jade to drive me home, since I didn't trust myself to. Got home and went to sleep. Woke no better but tried to eat a bit, then back to bed. Next day I woke with my asthma still playing up, but at least most of the aching was gone.
Now due to this, it meant that Peter puts in more time with Ryan when he should be sleeping before getting up at 3am for work. I then get guilty, so end up staying up longer and longer each night, so that he can rest. That in turn makes me cranky pants.
This week also saw my orders from big w, groupon and godeals not arriving, when they were all due around 2 weeks ago. In phone calls with big w, I would get frustrated as every call I was told a different story, until today they finally admitted they have no idea where it is. I will tell them where to put it shortly. I am sure some three legged blind reindeer is bringing it to me while reading his map upside down.
Today I also ring origin electricity to change the plan I am on. Prior to ring, as you do, I looked up best deals online by them and competitors. Rang up and the guy offered me a better deal on usage but gave me a ridiculous price on supply. I pointed out to him that on the site it lists it at a certain price. He told me that was wrong and wouldn't budge, so I didn't change it. Did some more research and rang back and got someone different. Yes the price I had seen online was right and he didn't know where the guy got the higher price from. Grrrr what a friggin waste of time that was. Why they first person couldn't look it up properly I will never know.
All this on top of terrible customer service in stores these days, has me thinking I will never buy anything ever again.
Last night I was on a facebook page that I frequent. Someone there had commented that they had stumbled across a Muslim trading post page. It went into a big deal with people calling them racist and one person ringing channel 10, telling them the site had only been opened 1 day and 431 listings and what a worry that was. Being in the mood I was in and normally would of just ignored it, I went in with my two cents worth. Before doing it, I went and looked at the site. It had been running since 2002 and the 431 posts were in 9 years, not 1 day. They weren't doing anything wrong and the site said that people had to act within the Muslim upbringing guidelines... which basically worded into honour. I had a couple of bites back. But when I pointed out that it was really no different to the catholic leader and that the post was inciting racism that it got deleted.
You don't have to agree with other people's beliefs, but as long as they are not harming me or my friends, then that is fine.
So in this week of sickness, tiredness and grumpiness, the toll shows on my body with my lap band. After going to Ryan every bloody 20 mins until 2am, then him calling out today for help and me rushing and not thinking, I end up drinking to fast. When I am stressed my band is tighter, so drinking fast meant it came up just as quick.
So tomorrow is a new day, time for me to take some deep breathes and relax and get back on track to only slightly grumpy lol.

Crystal Therapy - autobiography
Many years ago I did a course with a friend, Leigh Wilkins. It was a healing at home course that ran for 10 weeks. Each week we learnt the basics of a different natural therapy - massage, aromatherapy, reflexology, colour therapy, just to name a few. One of the things that really jumped out and appealed to me was crystal therapy. It seemed to tie a few of the ones together - crystals, aromatherapy, meditation and colour therapy.
Wanting to know more, I went to some treatments with Peter Hall in Karalee. Being a bit of a sceptic, I didn't say anything about what aliments I had, just wanting to see what happened. Amazingly, all my problem areas came up to be worked on, along with some emotional issues. Afterwards I felt great. I sent Peter off as well and the same thing happened to him
Peter was a registered teacher and offered me the opportunity to become a healer myself. I jumped at the chance and for the next 2 years I studied for my diploma in crystal therapy.
I had to have 5 people that I would work on over this time and do reports on. Five of my friends volunteered and we went from there. Crystal therapy also takes you on a journey of spirituality as well. Its not affiliated with any religion, but you work with all the masters - Buddha, Jesus, St Germaine, Kuthumi, Sanat Kumara etc.
When I first learnt one particular meditation, you had to go to a room and you would see someone and could ask them a question and they would answer it. After it was over, I was describing the person I saw. Peter Hall pulled out a book that he had called Visions of the ascended masters. He opened one page and ask me if that was the person, I said no. He opened another and there was the exact person I had seen. Now I had never seen the picture before but it was Sanat Kumara. Another time on doing this same meditation on a friend, she described what she said was a skinny Santa. Later on I showed her a picture from the same book of Lord Maitreya and she immediately said that was him. She also had never seen the pic before.
One of the friends I was working on lived with her mum and nan. I knew them all and had always thought that Tara's dad had passed away. He was never mentioned in all the years I knew her. Working on her one day, it came up that I had to work on areas related to her dad. On using my pendulum while working on her, it told me through yes and no questions, that her dad was alive and some other things about him. When i had finished the treatment, I asked her about her dad and it turns out that everything 'told' to me was correct.
Now I have mentioned the pendulum. You use this to ask yes and no questions. Your pendulum is only yours and will give you signs for yes and a different for no. It is used to tell you what part of the body you need to work on, what charka's need pulling back in or opening and various other things. The one thing you can't do, and that a lot of people make the mistake of, is asking personal questions about yourself. You will influence the answer. As an example, a friend was pregnant. At a party the woman selling some pendulums said that you could use them for yourself. Angela used it and it said she was having a girl, which is what she wanted. I did it and it said a boy and overdue and she was.
With crystal therapy you do everything from relieving period pain, bad backs, rsi to past life regressions, house clearance and helping people to accept they are dying. Hubby's friend had come over and I told him I had to work on his panaceas and that maybe he should see a doctor. He came back a few days later and told me I was a witch haha. He had gone to the doctor and his sugar level was in the 20's and he then had tests and was diagnosed with diabetes,.
I had a varying mix of people who use to come to me for treatment - carers, labourers, doctors, housewives, people who brought their kids to me, bikers.
I had to stop when life got in the way, but plan to restart again sometime soon.
Wanting to know more, I went to some treatments with Peter Hall in Karalee. Being a bit of a sceptic, I didn't say anything about what aliments I had, just wanting to see what happened. Amazingly, all my problem areas came up to be worked on, along with some emotional issues. Afterwards I felt great. I sent Peter off as well and the same thing happened to him
Peter was a registered teacher and offered me the opportunity to become a healer myself. I jumped at the chance and for the next 2 years I studied for my diploma in crystal therapy.
I had to have 5 people that I would work on over this time and do reports on. Five of my friends volunteered and we went from there. Crystal therapy also takes you on a journey of spirituality as well. Its not affiliated with any religion, but you work with all the masters - Buddha, Jesus, St Germaine, Kuthumi, Sanat Kumara etc.
When I first learnt one particular meditation, you had to go to a room and you would see someone and could ask them a question and they would answer it. After it was over, I was describing the person I saw. Peter Hall pulled out a book that he had called Visions of the ascended masters. He opened one page and ask me if that was the person, I said no. He opened another and there was the exact person I had seen. Now I had never seen the picture before but it was Sanat Kumara. Another time on doing this same meditation on a friend, she described what she said was a skinny Santa. Later on I showed her a picture from the same book of Lord Maitreya and she immediately said that was him. She also had never seen the pic before.
One of the friends I was working on lived with her mum and nan. I knew them all and had always thought that Tara's dad had passed away. He was never mentioned in all the years I knew her. Working on her one day, it came up that I had to work on areas related to her dad. On using my pendulum while working on her, it told me through yes and no questions, that her dad was alive and some other things about him. When i had finished the treatment, I asked her about her dad and it turns out that everything 'told' to me was correct.
Now I have mentioned the pendulum. You use this to ask yes and no questions. Your pendulum is only yours and will give you signs for yes and a different for no. It is used to tell you what part of the body you need to work on, what charka's need pulling back in or opening and various other things. The one thing you can't do, and that a lot of people make the mistake of, is asking personal questions about yourself. You will influence the answer. As an example, a friend was pregnant. At a party the woman selling some pendulums said that you could use them for yourself. Angela used it and it said she was having a girl, which is what she wanted. I did it and it said a boy and overdue and she was.
