Letter to Erin 20150819

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

Hi Erin!  Are you OK?  I care about you, you know that.  It's ghastly hot right now.  Yesterday morning was shiveringly cold, because it rained all night the night before.  That's how it's been around here lately, from one extreme to the other.

It's been a wormy kind of day for me.  I bought some fresh bags of flour, and they have bugs in them.  And their larvae.  I couldn't just waste all that flour, so I had to pick those out of the dough one by one.  The bugs have also figured out how to get into fresh bags of rice, so I keep my rice in the cooler so they don't become a problem.  But my rice cooker blew up this morning.  Well, the power cord shorted.  Then the worms came back to bug my cats.  It's because I keep feeding them the same cat food.  It can't be helped, because I have so much of it.  I buy 20 kilos at a time!  So I had to re-administer the worm syrup.  Bat Cat III does not like worm syrup.  He thinks he's so smart.  I had to wrap him up in a towel so as not to get clawed to death.  I guess the lesson is that there is corruption in everything in this world.

I pray you are getting plenty of rest, and are not overworking.  I wish for the best for you, because I love you, and I need you.
