Letter to Erin 20150415

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hi Erin!  How are you feeling today?  Are you feeling like a million dollars?  Well, you are so precious to me.  My beautiful Erin.

Today, I went downtown first thing in the morning to pick up a welfare payment from the government.  Which is great, of course.  Alhamdulillah.  I used the money to buy some computer equipment, and lighting for my little house.  I got an LED tube to replace my fluorescent tube, and I bought a fixture too.  The salesgirl said it was a piece of cake to change, with a simpler design than the fluorescent fixture.  The problem was that it's on my ceiling. and my ladder is short and so am I.  Plus I'm short sighted.  I had to climb up to the top rung of my ladder to do the work, and these feet don't offer much balance.  Then I was squinting to drive the screws in.  At one instant, the screw fell to the floor and I didn't know it, so I spent some time turning and turning the screwdriver, wondering why nothing was happening.  Good thing my bedroom is air conditioned.  It took me a good one and a half hours to finish the job.  I just got done, and I haven't had dinner yet.  But I thought I would write this letter first, then eat after the night prayer.  Something quick.  I'm thinking noodles.

Cats can get pretty annoying when they're in heat.  But not little ----.  She's so cute.  Everytime I pet her, she says the same thing: Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Sometimes I don't even have to touch her, and we would engage in long conversations together of the same topic: Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr? Rowr?  What was the question again?

Say, this LED tube is pretty cool.  It should last about 30 years or so.  No, I didn't waste anything.  The old tube I got from the next room, so now it's time to put it back.  It's about time this place had some real light.  Erin, I hope you are feeling great.  I love you so much, and I want you to be happy.  I need you.
