Yeah it's a crying shame that my wife lag behind, but what to do? It must be destiny. And a woman's privilege or whatever that the man be at the front line. Of course I love you and need you. For me and what I do, to lag behind would be inexcusable. In the end, nothing is free and we all pay for what we do, not do, or say. Alhamdulillah.
The first tree on the roof of the old house that I cut the roots and limbs was still alive, so I tried to chainsaw it all off. But my ladder is too short, and I couldn't climb on the roof to get better leverage, because it is just a flimsy layer of zinc. I tried get as much done on the ladder, but the chainsaw is too heavy for me to wield above my head on a ladder, and most of the time that chain was spinning just inches away from my face. So I opted to remove all the greenery with a hacksaw, and maintain it so that the tree will eventually die from starvation.
Allah gave me some knowledge of cooking, so I am able to eat quite well on my budget. Tonight's dinner is pizza! Again! No seriously, I'm not the type of person that eats pizza every day. I just wanted to use up the dough and basil so it didn't go to waste. Good pizza. Want some?

120. Never will the Jews nor the Christians be satisfied with you unless you follow their form of religion. Say, "The Guidance of Allah- that is the Guidance." Were you to follow their desires after the knowledge which has reached you, then would you find neither protector nor helper against Allah.
(The Heifer 2:120)

Reality can be pretty intoxicating, especially for someone who isn't used to such a reality. I've become used to such a reality, so it's normal to me. Since I don't have a lot of money, I have no choice but to embrace you spiritually. It's not I who is flexing spiritual muscle: Allah is helping me. Alhamdulillah. I want to protect and nurture you, because you are so beautiful and precious to me. I love you and I need you.
Dinner tonight is pizza again! I do know people who can and do eat pizza everyday, but I'm not one of them. Allah grants me some knowledge, I have the ingredients in my cooler, and the quality is good, plus I want to experiment making the biggest pizza I can with the limited equipment I have. It's a good pizza. I want another one, but I really shouldn't. Want some pizza?

111. And they say, "None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian." Those are their desires. Say, "Produce your proof if you are truthful."
112. No, whoever submits his whole self to Allah and is a doer of good, he will get his reward with his Lord: on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

Hi there! How are you feeling? Are you being a good girl? You're not being quarrelsome just for the sake of being quarrelsome, are you? Well, let's follow my plan, OK? I'm here to look after you inshaAllah, to keep you safe, loved, stable, and happy. This is because I love you and I need you.
As far as I understand, magic appeared against the power of prophet Solomon (peace be on him), also at Babylon to the angels Harut and Marut. The angels warned humans not to blaspheme. But the evil ones did blaspheme, and they also learned the means to separate man from wife. But they could not harm anyone except by Allah's permission, and they learned to harm themselves, not to help themselves. Do you understand about magic? To buy magic is to join partners with Allah, because you choose magic over God. This means that you sell your soul. The Qur'an is not magic. The Qur'an is the Word of God.
Today is pizza day, so I made pizza. One for my parents, one for a family friend, and one for me. Ach! Making a good pizza at home is such a tedious process. This is the downside of experience, because I can't allow myself to make a bad pizza. The plus side is of course, a great pizza. Today I used a thicker crust. The sauce was a bit runny, and so was the sausage. I used too much hot pepper puree, but chilli powder hurts my tummy so I can't use that. All for the sake of wanting the sausage to be red. Hey darling, you want some pizza?

Hey Gorgeous! Hey Luscious! Oh no, it's almost the end of January. I've been stressing out about your birthday present since our last anniversary. Because I can't afford anything material, and if I could I should be giving you a ring first. What's left is some lame virtual present, that is within my means of presentation. What to do? Nothing seems good enough, because you mean so much to me. Because I love you and I need you.
I did some chainsawing around your house inshaAllah. What a handy little toy, great for breaking down mighty trees. I finally managed to cut down one of the trees growing on the roof of the old house. My Dad said to cut off the roots, but that wasn't so easy because the roots are intertwined with the walls and the concrete. I think I managed to get all of them. There's another tree growing on the roof of the old house. It's huge, about 4 times the size of the tree I just cut. Have you seen it?

Hi there! How's it going? Are you feeling good and staying healthy? Yeah, you are the most beautiful girl in the world, because you are MY girl. I love you and I need you.
Oh, nothing special on the menu today. My stomach is still more sensitive than normal, but at last the pain is going away. Alhamdulillah. Lunch was just noodles with beef and egg, and dinner was just hash. Eggplant, potato, beef and onion hash. Simple, tasty, and filling. You're welcome to have some if you like.
During voice training today, I noticed that I have 3 baby fish. They must have shown up during the night or something. I don't even know which one is the mother. It must be the one with the big belly. The others aren't harassing them, so that's a good thing. So that's 3 baby fish, 6 adult fish, for a total of 9 guppies. Fishy, fishy, fishy, fish!
