“Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are, “It might have been”.”
~ Kurt Vonnegut
- Ben and I came home from holidays with the world’s worst gastro bug.
- Due to illness-induced misery coupled with jet lag and insomnia, I was only ever awake at ridiculous o’clock, and never at blogging central time.
- Somewhere in the midst of all the misery I vomited so hard that I tore internal scar tissue and adhesions from my recent abdominal surgery. Ouch!
- I ended up with infection and high fevers which caused hallucinations and complete loss of time and space.
- The outside world ceased to exist, and all my plans were forgotten.
I am feeling a little more human as of yesterday. So, normal blog scheduling will now resume. Along with naps, self-care, cups of tea, bone broth, plain foods and probiotics.
We’re in the city still. Our suitcases remain in the middle of the lounge-room floor and we haven’t even unpacked yet. Maybe today? Meanwhile our little farm is an island, all flooded in by ex-tropical cyclone Debbie.
Life is indeed a glorious adventure!
Thanks for all the messages of concern when I missed blogging for a few days. You know me well. I only ever miss a post if something’s up. But really, we’re doing much better now.
Biggest love and hugs,
Nicole <3 xx
Feel better Nicole
Oh, no! Wishing you a complete and speedy recovery. ❤️💛💚💙💜🙏🏼
Best for the recovery and the cleanup.. Queenslanders must be getting pretty tired of being complimented on their resilience, but I wish you a few bucketfuls anyhow. Vivien

Thanks for checking in Nicole….take care & get well soon 🙂
Thank you for the update, I was beginning to wonder (and worry). Take the time you need to heal, sending green light your way. And blessings to your farm.
Oh my! Take care of yourself💕
Glad to hear you are on the mend, and I hope your home has escaped the worst.
Glad you are better. Hope your farm did not have too much damage. I was keeping an eye on that cyclone from here. That kind of being sick is the worst.
One thing I can say…you never do ‘it’ by half!
Sorry to hear your story…wellness may only be a few days away. Take good care of yourself and each other. Much love. Xx
Oh Nicole! Get well and rest up xxx
Ouch! That’s such a downer after your good times on holiday. Wishing you both (and the farm) a speedy return to health.

Wow that is terrible 😳
Glad you’re starting to feel better at least!
That is such a tough ride – I am so sorry you were so unwell – I am glad you are on the mend a bit more. I will send you smiles and healing thoughts.
Take care of yourself…
