Friday and Boat Tale.............


Well its Friday. I have been feeling really well up until now no painkillers or vomiting no naps no laying down just plain well. The boat did me the world of good and I had a wonderful time.

Yesterday I started spring cleaning (my house is so dirty and cluttered) I'd had enough and while feeling so well I went a little crazy and started cleaning tidying and throwing out anything not built in.
Today I am a little slower laying down (I think I over did it)
I see a much nicer view from my mattress though. I cant stand so much mess and I really haven't had the energy to keep up, the girls and Ben try but no one really does it like you do (unless there being paid, I wish)
I am still good, just a little worn out with really shitty sinus and hay-fever(it really was dusty)

Our time on the boat really was magic the ocean is always so soothing and calming.
Kim and Ray feed my spirit and my soul.

There was a little extra excitement when Ben and his dad saved a diver from a shark.

They were fishing about 500m from the boat in the dingy.
They were over a huge hole about 65ft deep (but only a km from the beach) when they seen closer to shore but beside a huge drop off a man in trouble.
This position was about 2/3 km away from where a young woman lost her life to several sharks in 1.5m of water last year (I so wouldn't spear fish here) the young woman went in for a swim with a dog extremely silly but tragic none the less.
Anyway this large man starting screaming HELP HELP HELP ...........SHARK bobbing out of the water waiving his arms in total panic (DaHh)
Ben and Ray raced over rescuing the man taking him back to his boat he then described how a 10/12ft shark had grabbed the fish attached to his spear gun out of his hand darting in aggressively and taking off, tearing his bag of fish from his body along with the gun.
The shark proceeded to drop the spear gun moments later and disappeared out of site.
The man frantic to get out of the water. He had no idea which way it went and the thought of his lonely legs under the water kicking and keeping him a float would of been excruciating. (I would of Ummm Sh*t my pants)
The mans friend was casually getting changed in their nearby boat unaware of his mates predicament until he was taken safely back to his boat. The man was obviously shaken but grateful for his rescue he didn't hang around for long not to be seen again, no names exchanged just a weak pale faced smile and a stammered thank you.

As always injection day today, I am well though (except for sinus) I am extremely grateful for my time away it really was amazing. I haven't heard from the specialist so I am just waiting and praying for good results.
P.S. SEven weeks as a non smoker. I am very happy and proud of myself I am also saving like $50 a week WOo HOoo

Peace and Health xxxx

The boat ride story was wild.

I love all the photos you've posted this past week! (playing comment catch-up, so I'll say that here instead of commenting on the other posts)

Yeah on being smoke free!

I am so happy the boat trip was so invigrating and healing.

I have been letting alot go myself the past few weeks of feeling crappy. I just keep telling myself, all I can do is try to get to it when I feel well enough.
It will just have to wait.

Love to you sweetness.

The photo is stunning. Are they gardenias? So perfect.
I think your men folk were unbelievably brave going to rescue that guy without a thought for their own safety. That what's heroism is.
And lastly:- the cigarettes. Well done...I know how hard it is and I know the effort it takes but I bet you're glad now..
