Remember Your Life Matters
Hello world a pretty cool start to the day and it is an extreme creature day. This week we have the wandering albatross.
This bird has the longest wingspan of any bird, more then 3 metres, think the width of a bus. With such long wings this bird can fly like a plane, gliding for hours without flapping its wings once.
As an adult they weight around 7kg are about 135cm’s and live for 60+ years.
Hello Monday, ya going to be a warm one again…………..
.
Well ya all want some facts, so here they are…………..
You know that Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in America but did you know that every time the stones name is mentioned in the film the scene had to be filmed twice once for the philosopher’s stone and again for the sorcerer’s stone
The bagpipe was originally made from the whole skin of a dead sheep.
The poison arrow frog has enough poison in its body to kill about 2,2000 people.
Earth is slowing down in a few million years we won’t have need for a leap year because one orbit will be exactly 365 days.
One-quarter of the brain is used to control the eyes.
Slept in to 6am which was a surprise, I was shaking a bloody lot but still managed on my own to wash and dress and got my own breaky.
Other then blogging I am doing nothing today.
A hot day.
20th anniversary of 911

Awake and up at 4.35, in a great deal of pain had to get Tasha to rub Deep Heat into both knees, both upper arms and my right ankle.
My pain has been so so till 1pm when it increased.
Been a hot day, 30 degrees is hot for me. Hot enough to have air con on for a bit to cool down the house.
12-9-21
Had a decent enough night, although just after I went to lay down and listen to my book, the house phone rang but I don’t have a house phone in the bedroom so unable to answer it. Then my mobile rang, I tried to answer it but failed. I ended up thinking if it is important whoever was ringing would ring one of the girls.
Turned out it was Sandy who rang, she needed a hug and a shoulder to cry on.
13-9-21
Woke up to rain and cold after warm and hot days.
Tim up and left for work by 7.30am which feels strange as he usually works afternoons.
I went to get the vacuum cleaner and decided to check Leo’s room for empty cans and dirty plates, which there were some. I dropped a can which had something in it, so I went to get a dirty towel from the bathroom to clean it up while leaving the bathroom I stepped back lost my balance and fell over. I wasn’t able to get up but was able to crawl into the bathroom for the phone to call Tasha. As I wasn’t hurt I did briefly consider sitting there till Leo arrive but decided against it.
Tasha then went off her head at me for cleaning up Leo’s room as he should do it. I told her not to go off at Leo as he tells me all the time not to clean his room just tell him to do it. Which he did when he arrived.
14-9-21
Up and showered, I have a dentist appointment at 10am.
Denni’s 9th birthday sent her a birthday text.
Had appointment and they removed the tooth or what was left of it and it was something of a bitch to get out. Cost was $336.
All right this afternoon till the numbing wore off, then a shit load of pain, paracetamol did jack shit.
Oh well tomorrow should be better.
15-9-21
Had an ok night after I settled down but it took a while, found blood on my shirt so into the wash it went. The pain is there but not bad.
Leo arrived in a happy playful mood, we joked and laughed, and he showed me so YouTube clips that were funny but weird but that’s Leo.
16-9-21
Slept in to 5.15am rang Tash straight away and she was walking into the bathroom in a minute. That was a shock as she isn’t that quick usually.
Tim let early for work again, last night he arranged to meet up with Kathy & Summer while on a run this arvo. However, late last night Michael got a text saying someone he works with tested positive for Covid so now they have to stay home till both get negative results. So she isn’t able to meet her dad today.
Last day of term 3 no school for 2 weeks.

It must be hard not knowing what to when you see me crying and suffering with pain and frustration day in and day out, I know there is nothing anyone can do to relieve the pain.
Sometimes all I need is a hug and to hear you know how hard it I need nothing else.
Sometimes it is hard and depressing to hear someone sigh or see a roll of the eyes when I ask for help of some kind. I know no one means anything bad but it does make me feel like I am being a nuisance or a burden.
Yes it is hard for me struggling all day every day and I get it must be hard for everyone to know this and and not know what to do for the best. I have no answer for that.
If it was just the tremor that would be bad enough but it’s everything else, like the pain in my right upper arm/shoulder area. This makes me cry in pain and frustration and there isn’t a damn thing you can do.

One thing I ask of you…
Love me for who I am
and be true.
Love me as a fish loves the sea,
how the bird loves to sing.
Love me as a bee loves its honey,
as an angel love his wings.
Love me and hold me tight
as you tell me everything is all right.
Love me and guard me with all your might
as you hold me near at night.
Love me as I lay a kiss upon your lips,
as the heart in my chest flips.
Here we are at Tuesday and the second extreme creatures post today it’s the Blue Whale.
This whale is big in fact it is the largest creature to live on Earth. It can weigh almost 200 tonnes, which is like four train carriages, its tongue alone is as heavy as an elephant.
It gives birth to a 3 tonne baby which can grow to 30 metres in length and can eat up to 3600 kilograms of food a day.
They have a lifespan of 80-90 years, there are believed to be 25,000 left in the wild.
Good morning all, this Monday is the first day of the last week of term 3 of school. I have been up since 5am, had a good night. Wel here are some facts you may or may not know.
During the French “Reign of terror” from 1793 to 1794, 500,000 people were arrested and 17,000 of them had their head chopped off.
The British flag is not technical called the Union Jack but is actually “The Union Flag” is was called the Union Jack only when out at sea on navy ships.
In the 1790s it was common for people to want bells and other devices to be put on their graves in case they were buried alive.
Also in the 1790s loud horns and electric shocks were used to make sure the dead were actually dead. As at the time there were lots of horror stories about people being buried alive.
A common way for people to check if someone was dead was to put a mirror in front of the person’s mouth.
Saturday again up at 5.11 again, by 6.30 I had managed to wash dress and make breakfast on my own.
At 7.30 Tim stumbles out mostly asleep still, I was surprised as he usually gets up around 9am, he was looking at the clock so I told him the time. He thought it was midday, realising it wasn’t he went back to bed. It was 9.30 when he did get up for the day.
Been another warm day.
4-9-21
Father’s Day today and I don’t have anything for Tim who feels that since he bought himself a new phone a few weeks back that, that is his Father’s Day present.
A much cooler day and a bit windy but not too bad.
Managed to print off some letters tomorrow I will place them in their already addressed envelopes.
I am slowly starting to feel more with it after 11am, from the time I get up to 11am I am ok functioning normal like, I have motivation and get things done. After 11 nothing.
5-9-21
Had a decent nights sleep woke at 3 and at 4 got up at 4.50am just having breakfast and starting my day.
Wrote a couple more letters and put the ones printed in envelopes now I just need stamps and someone to post them.
Been a cool day but no windy.
6-9-21
Slept well, got up at 3.30 to pee and then managed to dose on & off till 4.50am. Now ready for the day.
While going to the toilet I knocked over a candle and smashed part of the glass. I managed to clean it up on my own.
Tim left early for work as he needs to take the car to an auto electrician as the other night when he came home from work in rain the windscreen wipers would not turn off he called the NRMA and they did something to turn them off. I hope it is going to cost much to repair.
Wrote and printed 3 more letters.
Tasha has gone to clean Kelli’s house, so Jess is going to put me to bed
7-9-21
A new day has arrived for me, I am up washed and dressed for the day.
Yesterday afternoon I put one of the staysharp into its sharping part upside down and it got stuck. Neither me nor Leo could budge it. However this morning Tasha bashed the end of it 3 times and pulled it out.
Leo is in a sad mood this afternoon but when asked if everything was ok he said he was just tired.
At one point school was on a break and he was flying his drone and it got stuck on their carport roof, thankfully Leo has no problem getting up there and retrieving it.
Saw Dave & Dawson when they came to borrow the trailer, it was good seeing them.
8-9-21
Had a good night sleep, now awake and dressed for the day.
No motivation today, checked emails, sorted laundry, read blogs, vacuumed out but didn’t do much else.
A pretty warm day.
9-9-21
Up at 5.10 and after a shower I was dressed and ready for the day. Going to be another warm day.
Sent Kathy-Lee a birthday message she is 36 today.
I got Tasha to get me a prepaid parcel post bag so I can send Jeannie her birthday present.
Not warm but very warm day.
Leo has decided that he wants to earn some money by helping out friends and family by doing yard work and other little jobs around the house. He kicked this off by mowing our back yard after he cleaned it up.

Hello everyone, here we are at Friday and this Friday is the last babies say love post.
Babies say love from the moment they’re born
and nothing can quite take away.
The thrill and the joy
of those beautiful things.
That only a baby
can say

You come to me crying, saying it’s done,
That life is pointless, I shouldn’t have one.
I tell you to stop, I beg and I plead.
You say the knife is your friend, it wants you to bleed.
But everyone here wants you to stay.
I’m crying, I’m shaking, please don’t go away.
Life means so much; you just haven’t found out.
So forget who planted that seed of doubt.
And as your knives and guns disappear,
Still know that I’ll always be here.
I know what it’s like, I’ve been through it all,
So hang on tight, I’m not gonna let you fall.
Reach for my hand, ’cause it’s held out for you.
My shoulders are small, but you can cry on them too.
If you leave, you’ll be missed by many,
Especially me, and I will not forget any
Of the moments we had, laughs we shared,
The times we needed each other when we were scared.
The world wouldn’t be better if you left, but worse,
And so now it’s time for me to reverse this curse.
I’ll teach you how to save a life,
So unlike many, it won’t have to end in strife.
