Oh, it's been a busy day. It was a busy night, so I stayed up late on the computer as usual. Thus I woke up late after sleeping in after the dawn prayer. I had bought mesh wire and dirt a couple of weeks ago for transplanting mango trees, so after the usual chores I finally got around to that. I managed one tree. Good thing it will take them another 6 years to bear fruit inshaAllah, because I'm so damned slow. Then since it's Friday, I had to attend Friday prayer. There were a gang of city boys, well-groomed with smug looks on their faces, slumming with the simple country folk. It's not as if I could smell the contempt they had for having to come here and see what the hell the deal is, but they didn't see the giant monitor lizard at their feet. There's also a cat bully who has been coming around here, who has been extorting my outdoors cats of their food, so I have to sit and watch over them as they eat now. What a waste of time. Chee Cheah is such a slow eater, she's an old kitty so she caresses each cat food pellet. But I have to make sure there is absolutely no cat food available after they're done eating. Then in the evening, I cut the grass and I didn't get a chance to prepare my dinner until right before sunset. I didn't get a chance to eat it until after the prayer, then after the night prayer I was detained at the mosque for a small repast. Perhaps I shouldn't have bothered with cooking my own food. Nah. Better not to rely on others. So now I'm here.
I sure hope you are not overworking, my dearest Erin. I know and many others know how intelligent and talented you are, but that's not important to the Public Eye. The Public Eye wants to see how beautiful you are, all your other attributes are a bonus. Hey, at least your situation is better and more dignified than your VS days. But overwork will eat away at your beauty and your health. Your bosses know this, and they know that all you need is to be beautiful, so make sure you eat properly and get plenty of rest. And you are beautiful. You are very, very beautiful.
Natty honey, how's school? I'm sure you are doing great, but please take snapshots and show me what's going on with you OK? I'm glad you are drinking enough water, but you have to maintain it. Your tummy became very nervous with your sudden kick upstairs, so you need lots of water to settle it down.
Pina, I'm not altogether angry with you. I just want you to have an easier life, so you don't lose your beauty. Please go home.
