The bird that meowed

Oh, I was taking care of my plants this morning when I heard someone meow.  I looked around me, but I didn't see any cats so I went back to work.  Then I heard that meow again, and again, and it sounded like it was coming from above me.  But I still couldn't see any cats around or even above me.  Then that meow came from above again, then turned into bird song.  It was a bird that meowed!  No, I didn't see the bird.  But it didn't meow again.  Maybe it was a myna bird or parrot.  Too bad they're not native to this area.

Hey, you know a couple of Bat Cat clones!  You may have noticed, but my Bat Cat passed away about 2 months ago.  I didn't talk about it because of reasons.  But I had to fight hard for his life, so needless to say I was upset and angry.  However, Allah replaced my Bat Cat with another Bat Cat this week.  Bat Cat IV is slimmer than his predecessor, with a longer and bushier tail, almost like a squirrel.  He's also quieter and more cautious.  It's obvious that he's hanging around me because of the females I keep locked up in my house, so I don't know how long he's going to stay.  But while he's here, I'll feed him and be his ally.  Check him out.  He looks more supernatural than the last Bat Cat, don't you agree?

Natty, the world has gone mad!  Mad, I tell you!  Mad, mad, mad, MAD, MAD,MAD, MAD!!!!

My red outfit today is more risque than usual, but its fun to have fun with clothes, especially since there's no way I could dress like that in real life, even if I were pretty.

I finally went outside

Erin, you look absolutely wonderful.  What a dream.  What a beauty.  Freckles.  But yeah, I finally went outside.  I took out the trash.  I went to the mosque for Friday prayer.  I went to the supermarket for my Mom and bought rice flour and coconut milk.  Wow, it was 4 pm and the streets were deserted.  Almost eerie.  I'll have to admit that I like staying indoors and on the computer all the time.  I'm a real geek, I suppose.  But we got to go out for groceries sometimes.

And my Natty, you look positively beautiful.  Like a fairy.  Like an imp.  Like a pixie.  Like an elf.

A stay-at-home kind of day

Hey Beautiful!  It's nice to see you all chipper and smiling.  You seem very happy to me.  I was quite happy to stay at home today.  I didn't even do any yard work.  I spent most of last night working on Second Life then doing some extra worship, so I got very little sleep.  So I tried to sleep during the day, but more work you know.  I didn't even take the trash to the dumpster.  It wasn't safe to go out today.  Damned Public Eye.  You will have to accept that even though me made plans, that I suddenly cancel on the day at the last minute.  It may seem unreasonable to you, but what's the point of having spiritual awareness if I don't heed warnings?  Do you understand that, Natty?

Second Life wasn't all that safe either, but the most that people can do to me online is crash my computer.  I was just dancing at Kuula as usual, being a Gyrlie Roxtar, and chatting with the folks.  Oh my God, I'm being social!

Windy

The winds of change, perhaps?  It's always windy around here this time of year.  Hot and windy.  It's the season for flying kites, and there's somebody selling kites at the crossroads.  I didn't see any kites flying today, though.  The wind too strong, perhaps?  I was busy pruning stumps.  I need to kill them with a focused fire.  It's too windy to light fires right now.  I need a blowtorch.  But yes dear, there's plenty to be thankful for.  Alhamdulillah.  We have a life like ours.  One day, we will be together.  InshaAllah.

Natty, that is a cute shoot you did.  Yes you do look more natural, and your smile is so sincere.  I think that red cookie monster was a girl, and she seemed overwhelmed by your passion.

Nothing much on the menu today.  Noodles with soup for lunch, and liver and onions with white rice for dinner.  Not worth photographing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Qur'an 20170215

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

103.  Say, "Shall we tell you of those who lose most in respect of their deeds?"

104.  Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life, while they thought that they were acquiring good by their works.

105.  They are those who deny the Signs of their Lord, and the fact of their having to meet God.  Vain will be their works, nor shall We, on the Day of Judgement, give them any weight.

106.  That is their reward, hell: because they rejected faith, and took My Signs and My Messengers as a joke.

107.  As to those who believe and work righteous deeds, they have for their entertainment, the Gardens of Paradise.

108.  Wherein shall they dwell: no change shall they wish for themselves.

109.  Say, "If the ocean were ink to the words of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted than would the words of my Lord, even if we added another ocean like to its aid."

110.  Say, "I am but a man like yourselves.  The inspiration has come to me, that your God is One God: whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work righteousness, and in the worship of his Lord, admit no one as partner."

The Cave 18:103-110

Thank you, o Prime Human Female specimen

I sure would like to examine you with a microscope and a spatula.  It is Valentine's Day, isn't it?  I forgot about it- Muslims don't celebrate Valentine's Day.  I love you regardless of what day it is, though.

Hi Canada!  Wow, they're all rallying around you huh?  You're such a beautiful girl.

No tortillas today.  I made stuffed won tons for lunch.  I should have taken a photo of that, because they turned out to be quite photogenic.  I had some stuffing left over, so I made a chive omelet stuffed with leftover won ton stuffing, and crinkle cut fries.  I can never get home made fries right.  Frozen fries always look and taste better, especially crinkle cut fries.

Cats

I told you before about these "death ants" as I call them.  These ants are small and slow-moving, they can crawl into closed Tupperware and walk on water.  They have set a 24/7 guard over Floofy's cat bowl.  So I put cat food into her bowl only when she asks for it, wait for her to eat, then dump the rest back into the container.  Now Floofy was an abused kitten: she has a couple of lower front teeth missing, so she slobbers over her cat food when she eats.  This slobber leaves a residue, which the death ants find tasty.  I guess it must be sweet.  So now there's always some death ants in Floofy's cat bowl, and I can't just spray it with bug spray.  I have to wash it regularly

These death ants have also found my drinking water and snack mix attractive.  And they're starting to move really fast!  I can't just keep on chasing them with bug spray!  I changed the brand of my fried peanuts for my snack mix today (because the usual stuff I bought is sold out), and they were on to it 5 minutes after I portioned them out.  Good thing I checked up on them.  So now I have to keep my nuts in an air-tight metal tin.

Natty honey, please save your money for your future.  Don't waste it.

Pina, why would I want to clean up after a naughty kitty if she's not my mine?  If she's not my cat, and doesn't stay in my house, then I don't care if she pees wherever she pleases, drinks out of the mop water, and is promiscuous because SHE'S NOT MY KITTY.  I don't have to feed her.  I can just shoo her away.  That's what I want to know, Pina: are you my kitty?  Do you want me to take care of you?  Or would you rather have someone else take care of you?  No answer means no.  Vague answer means no as well.

I'm getting tired of tortillas.  I feel as if a 7 foot tall Mexican bodybuilder has been force feeding me burritos.  The dough has gotten too soft to shape into tortillas.  They look more like splotches of white paint that spilled onto the floor.  This is because my freezer is too full right now to put dough in there.  So what did I have for dinner?  Burritos.
