MIXED NUTS - HUNG PARLIAMENT - & THREE WISE MEN

Forgive me if I am a little shell shocked. The past week had a smelly nose and a giant pair of ears vying for the top job in this country. It all ended with a hung parliament, well so it seems whilst the vote counting continues. I read somewhere we ended up with some mixed nuts, a bloodnut, a wingnut and a gum nut. We are also left with a few independents who are now being wooed by the nose and the ears. Let us hope that these are THREE WISE MEN who will stand by their positions as independents.

Elusive happiness

Good grief I received a giant sized wallop in the face today. I had slipped into that fantasy world where people believe they need others to make them happy. The truth is it is always others that make me unhappy. When will I learn to keep to myself. Just shutup and keep to myself. I have no rights. I have no opinions. I am nothing. I am nothing. I am nothing. I am nothing. I am nothing. I am nothing. Cut the throat and get it over with. This is Moongirl signing off.

Too bad about the Libs and Labs

Too much blah blah blah and not enough listening to the people. This is why the population has turned away from the Libs and Labs in droves. The Greens aren't any better. By a stroke of luck I found someone today who speaks for the people and not for a party they are representing. Good grief I feel so much better now. Julia and Tony you had your chance but I'm afraid you've blown it with me. One of you might get in, but it won't be with my help. This is Moongirl signing off.

Quote for the day!

Saw this quote this morning on "Paula's Website - Shades of Grey"
Do you not know that tonight, when the clock strikes midnight, all the evil things in the world will have full sway?
Bram Stoker
(1847-1912)
Seemed to be fitting words for the coming Federal Election tomorrow. Voila! This is Moongirl signing off.

The Road Demon is back!

That dastardly demon sped past me yesterday in a hail of exhaust smoke as he drove his white station wagon like a bullet aimed at anything getting in his way. His white pearly teeth glistened as he shot me a surly smug grin with his crooked evil face. He was younger this time, perhaps only in his teens, but I knew it was him by the reckless way he drove his weapon of a vehicle. I tried to read his registration plate, but he was too quick. My heart was pounding as it always does. I thought he had disappeared forever, but then there he was again just letting me know, he had no plans of leaving me in peace. Gosh darn you Road Demon.

They look at me but they don't see me

It's as though I'm walking around in a bubble and the world only sees me as a blurred figure that disappears as quickly as it appears. I speak to some, but I know that they only hear what they want to hear. What would be the point of telling them anything? It would make no difference and in any case it doesn't matter any more. This is Moongirl signing off.

Moongirl Walks

Moongirl discovered today that sometimes when you find you can't walk, it might just be that you need to try another pair of shoes. Moongirl walked today with a new perspective and different shoes. What shoes will you wear tomorrow? This is Moongirl signing off.

Moongirl to Vote - New Prime Minister of Australia -

Moongirl will be voting in our Federal Election next Saturday. There are two main candidates, Julia Gillard (Labour Party)and Tony Abbott (Coalition Liberal). Julia Gillard has a suspiciously incredulous likeness to Pinnochio in that her nose grows every time she answers a question. Then we have Tony Abbott, who himself stated that he intends to say as little as possible throughout his campaign. Tony attends the debates with a smug grin on a face that is overshadowed by the biggest pair of ears I have seen since "Jumbo" the elephant. And like Jumbo, as you know Elephants never lie, Tony Abbott will tell no lies. Do you know why? Because he stated at the outset that he intends to say as little as possible. Now how can he lie if he says nothing? Someone must make a new cartoon strip out of these two characters, for surely neither of them is real? In any case Moongirl already knows who she will vote for next Saturday. Moongirl is voting for her dog Moondog. He is the smartest, most honest and caring male in this world. Enough said. This is Moongirl signing off.

Moondog goes for a swim

This morning I took Moondog for a swim at his favourite beach. He has a sore on his leg so I thought the best medicine is salt water. He loved it, even though it was freezing cold. He went for 3 swims and ran his little legs off up and down the beach. I love that little guy so much. This is Moongirl signing off.

New Washing Machine

I've just completed my first wash in my new washing machine. 9.5kg, it is a biggy. Yay!! I've been doing my washing by hand for the past few months. Talk about living in the dark ages. Well, this morning I made up some cookie dough for a new batch of Moondog's cookies. He loves them and I know that they are filled with goodness because I made them myself. I make everything for Moondog now and he is much healthier for it too. The world should unite and stop buying the untested pet foods that are on our supermarket shelves. Well I'm going to have a cup of tea now, (Earl Grey). This is Moongirl signing off.

Harvey Norman - Not Impressed

I went to the local Harvey Norman store today to buy a washing machine. The only two staff in the section, females, were on the phone, so I stood around bobbing my head up and down to see if I could see someone there to help me. Finally one of the girls got off the phone, completely ignored me and walked off. The other one "Donna" eventually got off the phone and asked if I wanted help. She told me she could help me and then told me to follow her to the cashier. I use a walking cane to walk and am not very steady on my feet, but Donna galloped ahead of me a good 50 metres. When I finally got to the cashier, Donna handed me over to the cashier. The cashier gave me a blank stare and limited conversation. She told me my husband had to sign the form. That was okay, I could organise that, but I asked the cashier if she could tell the assistant I had spoken to over the phone the previous day "Michael" that I would be back in the next day to pay. The cashier told me "You'll have to tell Donna to pass the message on for you." I looked at the long walk back to Donna, then down at my two broken feet and walking cane and explained that would be difficult for me. The cashier gave me a blank stare, so I started to walk back to Donna. The cashier then picked up her phone trying to contact Donna, but was unsuccessful, she eventually told me she would pass on the message. So very upset when I left the store. Sorry about this, but I just had to get it off my chest. Oh by the way had an awful visit at the Cancer Clinic yesterday too. It's just not my week I guess. This is Moongirl signing off.

Life goes on - Perspectives

Hello, today is freezing cold again. I sure do wish Spring would arrive. My darling companion Moondog is now looking much better, but I'm keeping a close eye on him. It's strange when I communicate with the outside world. Their perspectives are so very different to mine. They worry about what they are going to wear out to their next social function. They worry about what people think about them. For me it is all a case of "hey what difference does it really make what you wear or what others think about you, in the great scheme of things". Just living and breathing and loving is enough for me. I don't need all of those other frivolous distractions. Take me as I am or leave me alone. This is Moongirl signing off.

My canine BF and how I love him

I know a lot of people don't understand the overwhelming love one may have for one's pets. My beloved dog Posse nearly died this past week. He couldn't walk and couldn't eat. I held him in my arms every night quietly stroking him and telling him "mummy is here". I promised God that I would be good in every way and if that wasn't enough then HE could take me instead of Posse. My beloved Posse the one true reason that I am still alive. The one creature that is there for me throughout all of my trials day and night. There to give me comfort to assure me that he will never leave me. My one true loyal friend in this world. How could I live without him. The truth is I couldn't live without him. I was ready to turn on the gas and end it all with my beloved dog in my arms. As it turned out Posse was a little better the next day and after some medicine from the doctor he was starting to look comparatively good again. I will live on this day....until next time.

Life and Death - So little distance

I've been fighting to stay alive the past few days. I've also been fighting to keep my best buddy and dog, Moondog alive. I made the decision if he didn't make it, then I didn't want to be in this world either. I have never prayed so much in all of my life. I was praying for a miracle. I was praying that my dearly loved best canine friend would stay alive. I don't know yet if there has been a miracle. He is looking better, but he has already had two relapses, so I can't be sure. I will keep praying. As long as he is alive, then so am I. This is Moongirl signing off xxx

Moondog Poss

My bestest buddy, Moondog has been very ill this weekend. I wish I could take his illness and suffer it for him. I hope he is better tomorrow. I feel so helpless when he is ill. Get better quickly my little buddy. I love you. Moongirl signing off xxx

I will not vote for either Liberal or Labour unless

I will not vote for either the Liberal Party or the Labour Party unless they provide reasonable solutions for our water problems, they provide assurance that our agricultural land will not be sold offshore, all imported foods are tested reliably and proof provided that they are safe to eat. I will vote for the party I feel will address all of these pertinent issues the best. Moongirl signing off.

Pain - On the High Chair

Here I am again sitting up on a high chair in the middle of the office surrounded by strangers. My broken right foot hurts real bad, feels like it is trying to tear itself off my leg. I can't sit from the pain in my lower back and I can't stand because both of my feet are broken. The pain is so intense I want to scream, but I can't, can't draw attention to myself, so I suffer in silence. I feel dizzy, think I'm about to faint, so I drop another butter menthol into my mouth, hoping the sugar will give me a boost. Some days are like this, nothing can help me. Later in the day, after running errands, I'm finally home. Put on the electric blanket and climb into bed. Hope tomorrow is better. Moongirl signing off. xxx

Top Secret-In collaboration, creating a new comic book hero

Moongirl - In Hindsight - Kindness from strangers

The sun has shone this week, but still it has been bitterly cold at night. I sit atop my high stool at work in the midst of many, but still yet alone. Strangers surround me. Eyes watch me. Peripheral vision used by me to watch others without them seeing me watching them. A kindness in amidst it all. Thank you Debbie. Moongirl signing out xxx

Moongirl - In Hindsight - The Power of Government

We have a Federal Election this month. I am very worried as I can see that so many people are going to vote for the wrong reasons. All of the talk by the opposing political parties has centred around immigration and taxes. My main concerns are for our environment, for a clean Australia, for safe and healthy home grown food, to try to slow the greenhouse effect, to do everything in our power to promote and to keep our earth safe. I know most people will vote for a leader or their party based on their personality or how they speak in debates. None of the contenders have spoken about the things I am most concerned about. It is a worrying time for me. Moongirl signing out. xxx

Moongirl-In Hindsight - Full Moon

The moon was so bright last night I could see into the back yard as if it was daylight. There wasn't any movement or sound. All of the night creatures must have been asleep. I couldn't sleep for some reason and so I did some work on the computer. The time moves so quickly when I'm working on the computer and before I know it, the sun is rising. Another warm lovely day today. It is good to be alive. Remembering Margaret, may she rest in peace. Moongirl signing off.

Dying of Cancer

Margaret passed away last Saturday 24/7/10 after a long battle with lung cancer. May God bless you and keep you Margaret. xxx

Moongirl-In Hindsight - The Weigh Station

I've been in a different place for some time now. I don't see the world as others see it. Today I live in a dimension between my past and my future. The world of the past goes on living, while I watch from my new existence in a dimension all alone. I can't touch anyone in the old dimension and they can't touch me. I can see them through a blur and I can hear them in an echo, but that is all. I feel like I am in a weigh station, a place you go and wait to be collected before you die.

Moongirl-In Hindsight - Nick Cave leads a mens' self-help group

Yes you've heard it here first. Nick Cave, author, musician,singer, songwriter, movie maker was the leader in a mens' self-help group last night. Well, the truth is I had a dream last night in which Nick Cave was running a self-help group for men in the city. I was there with my husband who I obviously feel needs help otherwise I wouldn't have dreamed it. Why Nick Cave? I don't know why I dreamed Nick Cave as the leader. I do have eminently high regard for this man and his accomplishments, after all he is an extremely remarkable man. Saw his last concert here....WOW!!!! I was recovering from radiation treatment and didn't think I would make it, but I got there and was so happy and glad that I did go. It was the best concert I'd ever been to. Maybe Nick has been contemplating organising a mens' self-help group? Who knows? Signing off, this is Moongirl-In Hindsight.

Moongirl - In Hindsight - Filling the gaps in life.

Life is filled with gaps. Have you ever noticed? It's one of those moments you sit on your couch at home staring at the blank black screen of a television set, wondering what you should do next. It's when you're sitting stationary in your car at a red light waiting for it to turn green. The gaps are everywhere. I always try to fill those gaps with actions of some sort, or at least by thinking about something productive, or pondering on ideas of susbtance that will make a difference in my life or someone else's life. Think about the gaps in other people's lives. Think about the gaps in the lives of children and people confined to wheelchairs who rely on others to help fill their gaps. I wish I could give my legs to one of those children. God bless all the children in wheelchairs.

Moongirl - In Hindsight - The Road Demon

This really happened the other day. My friend stopped at a red light and the car behind him ran into his vehicle's rear. My friend got out to inspect his car and found that there was very minimal damage. He told the other guy to drive his car around the corner, where it was safer, so that they could exchange details. Just as my friend stopped for the second time, around the corner, this guy runs into the rear of his vehicle again! This time, he pretty much wrote off the entire back end of my friend's car and smashed in the front end of his own car. My friend was amazed when the other driver did a runner and so my friend gave chase. The other driver drove through a red light in the chase and then drove over the median strip and was driving down the wrong side of the road the last my friend saw him. The police have since caught the guy. Get this......he was a taxi driver...not anymore though....lost his licence...and was heavily fined.

Moongirl in Hindsight-17-7-10 - Road Rage vs Road Demon

Now before I commence this next blog, it must be stated that I in no way condone any kind of violence, violent behaviour, anti-social or aggressive behaviour or road rage. If you have been reading my previous entries you will be slightly familiar and acquainted with the devious, villainous, deranged and diabolical "Road Demon" who watches my every move, who follows me, who taunts me to distraction and who is without question trying to kill me. On this particular day I was driving quite leisurely along a seaside road, the wind in my hair, an angelic halo shining above my head and the peace and calm of a silent motionless sea enhancing my psyche. Out of nowhere he came up behind me, revving his engine, making obscene gestures at me through my rearview mirror. He quickly advanced, overtaking me, and as he passed, in a flurry of anger, he raised the proverbial middle finger to show his distaste of my carefree, calm existence. Now, being the non-violent pacifist that I am, I could have easily ignored this ultra-selfabsorbed-manic-executioner of all things good, but something took hold of me, something...some other being from deep inside of me, an angry, vengeful being that said I must take my revenge. Without stopping to think about consequences, without stopping to let my logical common sense take control, I planted my vengeful foot on a flattened accelerator. I took my position, nudging the back bumper bar of the Road Demon, he could not escape, at every corner at every intersection, I was there right on his tail, glaring at him through his rearview mirror. I could see his eyes widen. I could see that no one had ever reacted to his bad road manners before. I was the first and hopefully the last. He would learn a lesson today. He would learn that it is not polite to give the finger to someone who is at peace with life and all things living. He would learn it is indeed dangerous to awaken a gentle soul from a peaceful slumber. He turned quickly into a driveway and disappeared behind tall trees and an even taller fence. I parked by the kerb across the road, seething, anger filling my veins, my brain, and watched as his head bobbed up over the top of the fence, slightly hidden between trees to see if I was still there. I decided to sit there for a while and make him feel the pain he had caused me. I would never ever do that again. I would never again let my anger escape like that. After all I am a peace loving gentle creature with no wish to harm anyone. Will the Road Demon continue to taunt me? We shall see....we shall see.

Moongirl - In Hindsight - The Road Demon 13-7-10

After a brief holiday, the road demon returned yesterday to haunt and taunt me on the road. He was driving a big red truck this time, so tall, so long and so wide that I could not see over, around or through it. It blinded me to the point that I found myself sitting out in the middle of a busy highway with angry traffic swerving to miss me. My heart was pumping wildly and my inept capacity to deal with this latest attack left me vulnerable in the extreme. Gosh darn you Road Demon.
