10 more days

Hi Natty!  How are you, my darling?  I hope you are having a great time, and are healthy.  I'm doing OK, there's only 10 more days of fasting left.  Wow!  It's been a fast moving month.  But soon I get to drink coffee in the afternoon again.  I can't wait!  I haven't had coffee in over 20 days!  Most people go crazy over the Eid.  I don't think too much of that.  I don't really pay attention to public holidays other than that it's tourist season, and now there's Covid.  But God has a special way of handing out paychecks, and the tourists have become residents, and the whole world is a small town now, so I pray that God will have some financial mercy on me soon.  Dinner is rice with eggs and "petai" in hot sauce.  Petai is a legume which enhances spicy rice entrees with a unique, slightly bitter but very strong and pungent flavor.  It's hard to explain, it's probably an acquired taste, but I like it.  Call me local.  Then again, Americans are getting hooked on durian while I don't eat that stuff.
