Memories: 16 August 2025

16 August 2025

…

Did the earth move for you this morning? I was sitting making my YouTube video and my entire house was shaking. I got a helluva fright. It’s rare to get earthquakes in Brisbane. At first I thought I was imagining it. But it kept “rolling”. Wow!

Jarrod just told me it was 5.2 centred in the Sunshine Coast. Stay safe Queenslanders…even our earth is writhing underfoot. Someone irritated the rainbow serpent!

My whole studio was shaking. It doesn’t help that all the stumps of my house are already badly cracked. One day this dump will fall down with me in it.

Well Bejaysus…next time I flush set a stone remind me to solder the jumpring on BEFORE stone setting. Arggghhhhh! It was touch and go! But I did it like the mad intrepid Mama T of Titania’s Realm that I am.

Baby steps. It’s taken me 8 hours but I finally got the stone to set too. (It kept falling out!) Omgggg The Tanya Tantrums that went into this piece! But it’s my first attempt, so with lots of practise…I will get better, faster and more fabulous ;-)

I am utterly exhausted but I wanted to make these shell earrings. That’s it for today. Mama T needs to summon extra energy for my usual Friday night Dance!

I woke up at 7:17 am. Wow. Unusual. But I went to bed earlier than usual and apart from my usual nocturnal peeing, I slept deeply.

I feel hollowed out and heavy. Losing Bobo has been hard. But another day stretches before me. I will move through it as I moved through every other day of my life. I will strive to be happy even though I am blown apart.

The gift of the dried flowers from my neighbours Warren and Tash was a lovely surprise yesterday evening. I went over to thank them in person and they gave me lots of hugs. It was very sweet and soothing.

So there are good people out on the world. I am blessed. I just need to hold on and surround myself in that love and kindness. It’s a soul balm on dark days.

…

Today’s creativity. Coral pink resin skull earrings. (Not sterling silver! Base metal hooks and wire). “Come out…come out…to play. Your prison is illusory, a construction of metal and mind. You were/are always Free…to choose…to love…to Be!”

Blessings from Titania’s Realm, at her Sacred Space. Love is the law, the lore, the eternal soul-nourishing wellspring of Life. The Holy Grail. It was here all along while you Tanya, chased empty people in shadowy spaces. It was always Yours. Inside of you! Ready to find its own season and its own fecund Becoming.

Here you are. Let your cup fill to overflowing. Shine bright in the Glowing. Sparkle in the effervescent floating freefall of fountain Bleu and other fountains of Life revivified and begin anew. You are Seen/Heard/Valued by those that matter. :-)

…

Time to start prepping. I need to buy life straws so I can have clean filtered drinking water. Shit is getting a little too real.

1:53 am. Laila Tov!

…

1:11pm greetings from the Angels. :-)

I have bathed the dog and cleaned the fishpond filter. My back hurts now but all good. I have a load of washing in the machine and a few more loads to do. I need to change my bed linen so that means more washing.

It’s a glorious day. Life is good. Even though I am in a bit of pain.

11:11 pm. Long live the pussies! Love from The multiverses.

Beautiful moon tonight. Beautiful energies. I have given myself a pedicure because my feet look like a Hobbit has crossed Mordor. (Weeelll, I have crossed the threshold between life and death and life and life so I am teetering on the brink of a new paradigm birthing). But my feet that are constantly hugging the earth needed extra loving care.

I am exhausted but I also cut down all the heliconias and a shrub up the back that had gone berserk. I had a short burst of physical energy. I managed a few loads of washing and have stripped and remade my bed.

I should be going dancing but my feet are sore so I might stay home and rest.

I had a good day. Filmed a blue butterfly in slo mo and even though I was tired this arvo, I managed to take Beauregard for a walk around the block. Everything hurt so it was a slow mo hobble but I made it. He was delighted!

I am weak as a kitten today. Woke up feeling like hell. I have had a shower and dressed and am still shuffling around the house. I see my gp at 1 pm. Although she probably won’t take me seriously, as always.

Anyway I don’t know what to do about my extreme fatigue and steep decline. I might buy some vitamin c as that might boost my immune system a bit.

I don’t have any pain at the moment apart from aches in my thighs (where I had the terrible nerve pain in January).

It is taking all my effort just to go to the bloody doctor! I just want to lie down today. But have made myself get out of bed and keep busy.

…

Jenny has kindly offered to stay at my home and look after my animals for 2 days if I end up needing surgery. That is a huge weight off my mind.

Hopefully surgery does not become necessary but if it is gallstones then better out than in (or as my mother used to say in German “Weg dammit”).

Currently cooking pumpkin soup as hungry as a horse but need to eat healthy. Yayyy!

Strange thing happened today. When I went to pick up the fryer, the lady invited me in. She was American. Had a sign outside that said "Aloha" and at their door another one saying "Namaste". I had a strong sensation of being at their house before.

When she invited me in to their front room I realised I had dreamt of being there a few nights ago! They had a lovely collection of about 6 guitars and one was all Inlaid Paua shell. It was so beautiful! I asked if she was the musician?

She said "No, my husband". I commented on their lovely coasters that were inlaid mother of pearl, all in Magen David shapes. I did not tell her I had dreamt of her house as I thought it might freak her out.

But yes it is unusual to have such a precognitive dream come true so quickly. I was really surprised at my brain! Hopefully I have more psychic development as that was pretty amazing, even by my own standards.

…

Haha! Magic happens. I just got told dogs are not allowed in the gardens (even though I used common sense and had him kept on-leash). What a shame!

We had such a lovely time exploring. Lucky they only told us to leave after we had already had such a lovely time!

…

…

Just Skyped with Crystal. Helping her with NZ pronunciation for a play she is doing.

A few Maori place names I was not sure of: Pakete, Oaro. Forget the last one. Hopefully she can figure those out.

…

I have had a lovely couple of days.

…

I have been seeing 11s all day. My "angels" are with me. Thank you HaShem for the beautiful blessings!

Not loving the passive aggressive receptionist at QE2 dentist. Ignore me. Then serve me then ignore me when I bring back the form. Put it down in counter in disgust.

“Thank you” she says. Fuck you I think but I am a lady, you know. Grrrr. Hard to believe I am unemployable when the errant masses are so joyous in their work that they are barely "here".

Absolute contempt is the order of the day. If I ran my business like that I would have gone broke. But then my customers loved me and abhorred my ex husband who would slink out to the counter like a giant slug and demand "What do you want?"

Probably how he drove our business into the ground after he expunged me from the shop during our separation. Miserable scum bastard. I went broke anyway but at least I know the business was thriving when I was at the helm.

Jarrod and I offered prompt polite service. Except for the brats that demanded one wing at a time and had me walking to and from the cold room. Lol. I did occasionally have to tell the occasional customer to fuck off. But over all my customer service was excellent.

3.23am. Waiting for the bus. I had a great night celebrating Sam's birthday with all my favourite people.

Now crippled with pain in my feet and had to put my shoes back on, as you are not allowed barefoot on buses. Grrr!

…

My fridge is making unhealthy noises. It is actually grunting! Should I worry?? Omg I would never be able to afford another fridge. I would have to sell the car. My mind is boggling. Funny old life, innit?

Hey, just realised, the definition of a Good Girl is one who left behind a trail of broken hearts instead of broken body parts and forgets where she buried the bodies... hahh sorry Day 6 of my mild psychosis but still all Good! Hahahaha

16 August 2011

My darling Crystal, Jasmine and Jarrod came to visit, bringing Crystal's awesome Chocolate Muffins along! I also had a visit earlier from Gail and Tahylia.

Thanks to Jarrod's technological wizardry I now have a working Set-top box. (I was missing a cord...don't know how I missed that oops lol).

I'm getting a newly built computer soon which I'm told is red and see-through! So exciting! Thanks Lyn and Peter.

…

Today I picked up my jewellery repairs and was so happy with all my newly re-vamped toe rings. Now I have 5 toe-rings from old rings I never wore anyway...so enjoying my recycling efforts.

Only problem is I have so many toe-rings now that I sort of look like Gypsy Rose Lee! I figure if you got it, flaunt it. I might as well wear everything I like, after all, I have lots of jewellery but not even a dollar to my name. I'm wearing my only assets!

OOOOhhh, speaking of Gypsies, I got my gold gypsy earrings back too. They are now much stronger so I can't possibly lose them. Woohooo!

Now I need some nice hungarian embroidered blouses and some nice big peasant skirts and my corset to complete my image...oh and my tattoos. LOL (Still working out how I am going to afford my tattoos!)

Today I cruised around with Jarrod, buying horse poo for my garden and potting mix for Jarrod's garden. We looked at Capalaba Produce and I got very clucky seeing all the lovely point of lay pullets. I so want to get a portable Chook house so I can have hens again. I need to buy the steel second hand and Courtenay will make it for me. So I need to save money for steel LOL

…

Thanks Marion, I saw a lovely one on ebay for $175 which I want to buy but don't have the money. So I will have to wait until I can save up that amount. So frustrating but it's a big saving as origninally they are priced at $699. So thanks for the tip. Much cheaper this way.
