Letter to Erin 20150924

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

Ugh, I ate too much chili.  Too much of anything is too much (The Who).  I love chili, but I ate too much, plus tortillas.  So I woke up this morning feeling sick.  It's a good thing I didn't throw up, because that would have invalidated my fast.  Good chili, though.  Alhamdulillah.  But I'm not having it for dinner.  It's noodles instead.  Snapper roe in anchovy broth, with garlic, seaweed, roasted peppers and bamboo shoots.

And how are you today, my love?  How's life at the top?  I'm sure you are doing fine.  You're a very competent person with a good heart.  I want you to always know that I am with you.  I love you, and I need you.

Hi Erin!  Hiya Sweetheart!  Mwah!  How are you today, my love?  Oh, supermodel politics.  I'll stay out of it, OK?  I just made a batch of chili.  I got tired of my chili not being hot enough, so I had a heaping handful of Thai peppers, and threw the whole lot in there without dicing it up or anything.  Yeah, good harvest today.  I'll be fasting, so I need chili because it's quick and easy and filling.  After you cook it the first time, that is.  And yeah, it was finally hot enough, but after I ate it, it wasn't hot enough.  We want that heat to linger!  But I don't think my garden can produce more peppers at a time like it did tonight.  I need to plant more, I suppose.  Hey Erin, I want you to know that YOU are MY girl, OK?  And that's my choice.  I love you, and I need you.

Hi Erin.  How are you feeling right now?  I pray that you are feeling healthy and confident.  You are MY girl, and I want all the best for you.  I want you to know that you are not alone, you don't have to face them alone, because I am with you.  I may be in the shadows, but I am there, and always thinking of you.  You are the love of my life, and I need you.

Floofy is in heat right now.  Which is not a big deal, because there's always somebody in heat in my house.  She's not a howler like the other two.  She hasn't been eating much, because she throws it up.  She needs to be embraced, so I do that for her, and hopefully it's enough.  These cats like to plant their menses right where I can step on it.  Why is that?  Why can't they just use the cat box?  The favorite targets are my bedroom door, the toilet door, and the bathroom door, and one spot in the middle of the living room where I have to walk around the other spots in order to avoid them.  Does that make sense?  I'm vigilant with the mop, but I am at my most vulnerable when I just wake up for the dawn prayer.  I love my cats dearly, but I do have other things to do.  This evening I did some burning.  I need to get as much burning done before the next mango season because I need the dirt.  After this, I have to practice bass then do some encoding.  You take care now, Sweetie.

Like I said before, my decision is to focus on Erin's happiness first.  Are you feeling like having kids right now?  Well, not right NOW.  I'm just guessing that you feel like it.  I do have a question though: what does an NFL blanket have to do with standing on a rock on the water at the beach in your bikini?  I guess if you fall into the water, it would keep you warm.  You're starting to look more like a mom, especially in that video.  A very beautiful mom.  I'm seeing your giving me 3 kids inshaAllah.  That's how I designed your house, is for 3 kids.  But there's a guest room downstairs.  I want to name our first son Muhammad, and our first daughter Mary.  You can name the rest of the kids.  I will look after you, inshaAllah.  I love you, and I need you.  Would you like a hug?

Hello Erin.  How are you feeling, my darling?  I suppose you are very busy.  It's that time of year where you be sports rep, right?  Then it's the holiday shopping season.  I guess it's not going to pause much for you anytime soon.  Praise be to Allah.  Be sure you eat properly and get enough rest.  I love you, and I need you.

There's nothing special going on here.  I spent the morning running errands.  I took the weed whacker to the repair shop, went to the pharmacy, then the supermarket.  After voice training, I hosed down my Mom's kitchen floor.  Breakfast was a tortilla with marinara sauce, lunch was half a chicken breast, and dinner was 2 cups of steamed rice with anchovies.  That's nice and moderate, isn't it?  All this activity is making me lazy, though.

Aaaaaarghh!!!  The grass cutter died again!  If it doesn't start tomorrow morning, I'm going to have to take it downtown.  One week of inactivity because of all that rain, and now it won't start.  I think that machine is a workaholic.  It wants to work until it dies, otherwise it dies.  Not like me- I'm a lazy butt.

Oh hi, Erin!  You're such a sweetheart, Erin.  Mwah!  I pray you're feeling well.  Are you eating properly, and getting enough rest?  I think after a certain point in life, we get eating habits that we inexplicably can't change.  Like a chronic dieter eventually cannot ingest any food at all.  I think the key is to eat the right amount every time.  Which is hard to gauge, because lust is involved.  I could easily down 2 dozen hot wings and a 12 inch pizza in one sitting, but I don't do that anymore.  I was telling Floofy this morning when I was cleaning out the cat box, "Look, this is the right amount of poop for you: just 2 average sized turds each day, because you're fat and you don't do anything but sleep all day.  You don't have to eat more than that, then puke it out!"  Not that I'm saying that you do the same thing Floofy does, but you're smart and experienced enough to know what sustains you through work and makes you happy, now that you're a sensitive and feminine movie star.  So please take care of your precious self, and be balanced OK?  I love you, and I need you.

Hey there, my darling Erin Sweetie!  How are you feeling, my beloved?  I want you to know how beautiful you are, and how cute you look with blue hair.  I love you with all my heart, and I need you.  Don't ever get plastic surgery, because you don't need it OK?  Please age naturally and gracefully, for it is the most dignified and beautiful.  I will take care of you inshaAllah.

How's your tummy doing?  Are you having trouble digesting food?  Last night I had severe heartburn, or gastritis. or acid reflux disease.  Gastritis is dangerous because persistent gastritis causes ulcers and stomach cancer.  But since I do my own cooking I hardly ever get heartburn, and I didn't eat anything to warrant it last night.  Everything was mild.  Just sliced chicken breast, scrambled eggs and lettuce in a tortilla.  This is because yesterday was very stressful compounded with my being sick, and that affected my sensitive stomach.  The more successful you get, it will affect your stomach.  So please try to prepare your own meals whenever possible, and focus on what doesn't hurt your tummy.  A back massage would help relax your stomach.  If I had known I would get heartburn last night, I would have eaten only plain bread or plain steamed rice.  If you don't have time to cook, then please keep it simple.  Eat only at places you trust.
