I am coming back to Rusty’s. I’ve had to have time off due to health issues.
It won’t be long before I can see your happy faces again.
In December 2023 I went through the ugly flood at Machan’s. The house I was renting did get the worst of it. I lost almost everything.
I never knew I could become very sick inhaling mould. When I did clean up after my temporary home in the rainforest I had zero clue mould could have hurt me so badly. It wasn’t just the mould, then my immune system started to attack my thyroid. For months I couldn’t do anything. I was depleted of all energy. My whole body was attacked. Every muscle, every joint was too sore to walk. I was in chronic pain for months.
Finally, I am getting better.
Going through the flood at Machan’s in December 2023 started this chain reaction. I thought I could rise above the flood. Then when the toxic mould hit me, that was something I never expected. Thyroid issues on top complete with burnout.
It’s been a harrowing experience for me as I love to work hard and do my best.
I’m happy to say I am getting better. I’ve started gardening again with my time off. The veggie seedlings are growing well, just like me. I don’t live in a mouldy home anymore.
My daughter and I have bought a mould free home finally. To have a garden is my most favourite thing in the world.
I am coming back to Rusty’s.
They were installing shutters at Rusty’s and my set up didn’t work so well with the shutters. While I was away sick, they did take my whole stall away. So be it. I’m now better and I’m working on getting my position with German Sausages re installed. Trust me I don’t give up. Tomorrow I’m seeing the manager to work out how to get it all back together again. It probably won’t be this week but next week I want to be able to start operating again at Rusty’s and to make all my lovely customers happy again.
When I went down with this mould poisoning etc I had been at my stall for 10 years. I’m sure you will all be happy to see me return again. I feel like the phoenix out of the ashes. Except the ashes wasn’t fire it was mould that did hold me back. I never expected to be away for so long. My apologies. I am doing my best.
I look forward to coming back soon. I hope you all are wanting me back too. It would be so lovely to hear from you.
I’m looking forward to being there for you once again.
A bit of encouragement would help. I have felt sad not being there🥲 I don’t like letting anyone down. I’m very sorry I became unwell.
Looking forward to hearing from anyone out there that has missed my little food cart at Rusty’s 🥲🤩🩷✅👍
Take care
