In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
My source tells me that people WILL overwork you. To death. Under the sun. In front of the camera. This is no longer a possibility, but imminent. Legal contracts will not protect you, but only compensate for losses. And that is how you should regard them.
Don't be alarmed, Erin. Just be brave. And lazy. Stay indoors. Work indoors. Watch TV. Practice your cooking. Play video games. Exercise indoors. I wish I were there to help protect you, but Allah is the Best to protect. So please pray, and be proactive in your awareness of how precious you are, and how precious you are to me. Erin, I love you and I need you. Ya Allah, please protect my Erin.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi there, my most beautiful sweetheart Erin. How are you feeling today, my love? I pray you are feeling healthy and confident. There's nothing all that out of the normal going on here today. Right now I'm watching "Monsterquest- Birdzilla" on TV, while waiting for dinner to cook. Dinner isn't all that special either. Just chicken cooked in mole sauce, served with white rice. It's been raining, so I didn't do any yard work. So I guess I'll follow my laziness for the rest of the day, lay out my bed early, and take it easy. It's been a busy morning, so I am tired. Yeah, I'm tired. I pray you are taking sweet care of your precious self. I love you, and I need you.

Qur'an 20150817
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
7. But never will they express their desire for death because of what their hands have sent on before them! And Allah knows well those who do wrong!
8. Say, "The death from which you flee will truly overtake you, then will you be sent back to the Knower of things secret and open, and God will tell you the things that you did!"
9. O you who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday, hasten earnestly to rememberance of Allah, and leave off business. That is best for you, if you only knew.
10. And when the prayer is finished, then may you disperse through the land and seek of the bounty of Allah, and celebrate the praises of Allah often, that you may prosper.
11. But when they see some bargain or some amusement, they disperse headlong to it, and leave you standing. Say, "That from the Presence of Allah is better than any amusement or bargain! And Allah is the Best to provide."
Friday 62:7-11

Hi Erin, my love! How are you feeling? Are you trying to slow down, and make the world conform to your schedule? Don't forget my beloved, that the goal of our marriage is to slow down, stay put, and raise a family. I want to love you and take care of you. I love you, and I need you.
I'm watching "John Belushi- the final 24 hours" right now. This is a famous drug story. I remember reading this story when I was 15 years old. I was totally clueless and still in high school. This is almost like a work story. Where your work is being a 24 hour party. Who else was like that? It's not just using drugs to enhance work. It's the business of having fun.

5. The similitude of those who were charged with the Mosaic Law but who subsequently failed is that of a donkey which carries huge tomes. Evil is the similitude of people who falsify the Signs of Allah. And Allah guides not people who do wrong.
6. Say, "O you who stand on Judaism! If you think that you are friends to Allah to the exclusion of humans, then express your desire for death, if you are truthful!"

**sniffle** I suddenly got the sniffles again. I was just waiting to head out to the mosque for Friday prayer, then the sneezes got a hold on me. I didn't bring any tissues with me, so all the while I was at the mosque, I had to swallow the damned stuff. Ugh! This is certainly a conspiracy by the Flu Virus Collective! And after the prayer, I had to go straight into voice training. So I was sneezing and sniffling while I was singing. After that I finally found the time to drain my sinus cavity, so inshaAllah the flu won't get a grip on me. **sniffle**
So I was not in the mood at all to do any cooking for dinner. I had already made the decision not to spend any money today. I had some leftover steak in the cooler, and a can of beans. I didn't even bother to heat anything up. I stuck a spoon into the can of beans, sliced up the steak, and ate it with raw onion and Thai peppers from my garden. Tasted quite good, actually. Want some?
I pray that you are eating properly and getting plenty of rest. You are MY girl, Erin. I love you, and I need you.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hello there, my darling Erin. How are you feeling, Sweetie? I just had my dinner. I ate out for dinner, just a plain old rice dish at the corner restaurant. Right now, I'm watching a 2 and a half hour evaluation on Zildjian ride cymbals. Hey, I'm VERY fussy about my cymbals. I wouldn't ever have more than 3 cymbals on my kit including the hi-hat. I don't think you would ever sit through these cymbal evaluation videos like me. And to tell you the truth, it puts me to sleep. But I can watch it over and over and over again and again and again. Because I'm VERY fussy about my cymbals.
A while ago, I thought that I would sing "Heaven Or Las Vegas" by the Cocteau Twins. But I just couldn't understand what the hell she was saying, and when I Googled for the lyrics, the people who posted the lyrics didn't seem to understand what the hell she was saying either. So I gave up on that. Then I thought maybe "Lorelei" would be easier to sing, and it's such a beautiful song. But again when I Googled the lyrics, the words don't sound like anything like what she sounds like she's saying. I can't get an honest emotional interpretation of the words if I can't understand what the words are. The only option to emotionally connecting to the words is to precisely copy Elizabeth Fraser. And that's a second best effort at best, because when you copy somebody you will never be as good as who you copy. Gah! I hate singers. Divas, all of them.
I didn't mean to bore you with work chat. I pray that you are not overworking, and taking it easy and patiently. You are the most beautiful girl in the world to me, because you are MY girl. I love you, and I need you.
