Caffeine

Hi Erin!  How are you, Honey?  It's the weekend, I assume you are busy busy busy.  I hope you are enjoying your work, and that you are becoming a formidable sports psychic.  InshaAllah!  It's almost time to break fast!  I drank Coca-Cola last night, forgot it had caffeine, so I tossed and turned until 4 am when I had to eat.  But I did OK despite it, cleaned my mother's bedroom as usual, went through voice training acceptably, then relaxed the rest of the day.  Floofy was getting agitated that I didn't eat.  I don't think she understands fasting.  I love my kitties!  Oh, there's the call!  Gotta break fast!

Hi Natty!

Oh I'm so proud of you, my beautiful Natty!  Yes we have to be role models, and mostly in the spiritual way.  Don't leave that out!  Do what you can Natty, but keep yourself safe OK?  You are my wife inshaAllah, and that's a very important job I promise you.  I love you!

Yeah, I'm feeling much better today.  I think my body is getting used to fasting finally, and this new level of singing inshaAllah.  I suddenly have a craving for spaghetti.  So I went out shopping for the fixings for a nice and greasy spaghetti.  I have no time to make it during the day, so I'm going to have to work on it in the middle of the night.  Tomatoes are super cheap nowadays at the big supermarket downtown.  I make the sauce out of tomatoes, garlic, black pepper, cilantro and parsley but I also add a measure of tomato soup.  It's a runny recipe, I might have to strain the blended tomatoes.  The beef goes in while cooking.  I'll have to cook the noodles at night too, then put them in the cooler to eat for the pre-dawn meal.  I actually like them best that way, when they're cold and slightly dry then pour the hot sauce over them.  Oooh, I hope I don't overeat.  Want some spaghetti?

Dazed and confused

Hi there, my beautiful Ladies!  How are you feeling today?  There's a lot going on in America, I suppose.  Well I hope your emotions are in control, and you are having lots of fun doing business.  As for me, I am doing a little better today alhamdulillah.  Allah is being nice, and the weather has been nice and cool all day.  I got lots of sleep and I didn't have to labor in the morning.  Thus I gained a little strength, and voice training went very well.  No dropped notes!  Well, maybe one.  Dropped notes is a gauge of how exhausted I am, each dropped note is like missing a heartbeat, a step closer to death and joining the dead women I have to channel.  I did feel a bit agitated after voice training, I didn't know what to eat for breaking fast, and didn't really care either.  But I'm not as dizzy and wobbly as yesterday, I even cut the grass a little.  Usually I'm ready to go each year for fasting month, but this year is different somehow.  The singing is running me into the ground.  It's so damned serious.  But I feel better today, and I just cooked up some fried rice for dinner.

I'm thinner!  Does it look like I've lost weight to you?  I want to be a better clothes horse, just like Karl Lagerfeld.

Hi there, my precious Ladies!  How are you feeling today?  I hope everything is going great for you, and you are having a wonderful time.  Yes there is a lot going on, isn't there?  My dreams are crammed with information, recurring too.  I slept a lot last night.  This year's fast is different than before, it has something to do with the singing.  9 hours of sleep is a blessing alhamdulillah, but this singing is more laborious than ever before.  I guess it means I'm singing better and this is a time of spiritual awareness thereof, but it makes me feel like crap.  Just so drained.  I had to sleep more after the set.  Oh there was a 5 minute power outage today about 50 minutes into the set, folks.  Sorry about that.  It was only 5 minutes, but I had to reboot my computer and modem, then restart all the programs, then make sure my appearance onstage was acceptable.  Gotta be that professional girl, right?  After all, this singing is so damned serious.
