Letter to Erin 20150603

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

Hello again, my dearest Erin.  How are you feeling today, Sweetheart?  I pray you are feeling healthy and confident.  It's just another normal day for me here.  I woke up early again, rather I didn't go back to sleep after the dawn prayer, ate a mango then spent most of the morning with my baby mangoes, separating the twins, triplets and quadruplets.  Then I had to make a quick run to the Tuesday market.  Lunch was one of my quick fixes which I pulled out of the freezer, you know the concoction with peas that I made the other day.  It rained all evening  so I couldn't do any yard work.  So instead, I made some dough and marinara sauce.  I didn't cook dinner though.  Instead I went out to have rice at Ina's.  Just now when I took my evening shower, there was a leech in my bathroom.  I haven't seen a leech in decades!  The last time I saw a leech was in the jungle when I was a kid.  I dumped some salt on it, and that took care of the sucker.  Now I'm in the mood to just be lazy, if you don't mind.  Veg out and watch TV.  Oh no, I don't have any snacks!  What a travesty!  What an injustice!  I hope you are having a good time Erin, and taking sweet loving care of yourself.  Wish you were with me.  I love you, and I need you.
