Eye of the kitten

Hi there, my precious Ladies!  How are you?  Are you keeping your cool?  I hope so.  I'm doing OK.  I'm happy to report that little Yoolie is doing better.  She had reopened the wound on her left eye somehow, so I put the restraining collar on her.  But the wound didn't heal, and got worse.  I was perplexed at why the wound took so long to heal, but I managed to calm it down by chasing it with rubbing alcohol.  Soon I discovered why her eye kept getting worse: the other two cats were licking it to death!  Now one would normally assume that it was an act of affection, and I'm pleased that Floofy and Lookie are being nicer to my kitten.  They didn't start being this nice until I removed the collar the first time.  But their licking that wound made it worse, I am wondering if they were worsening it intentionally...  Hm...  Cats being catty...  But after my rigid policing of the wound, it finally got to the point where I could control it. I was scared for a while, the swelling completely covered her eyeball, and I couldn't get any opthalmic lotion on it.  The eye clouded up at a point, and I thought, "That's it, she's blind!".  Great.  Allah sent me the cat of death and she goes blind in one eye while under my guardianship (the Antichrist is blind in one eye).  But Allah took care of her and she's getting better, so alhamdulillah.  Here's a snapshot I took of her this afternoon.  The eye was swelling up again when I took this photo, but she's so much better now.

Yoolie isn't really the cat of death, folks.  She's just a beautiful little kitten.  I call her that from my own observation that white cats like to hang around the dead and dying.  But everybody dies, so that's a moot point.  She was sent by Allah, though.  Only an unbeliever would deny that.

Excited?

Hi Natty!  What's going on, my hot little Rock and Roll Babe?  You're looking absolutely fabulous as usual.  Nice armpit, by the way.   I wish I had pretty armpits too.  You're trying to pull a serious face, but I can tell that you're excited about something.  I don't know about what.  It's all the same old same old here for me.  I've been busy all day though.  It's laundry day today, while that was churning I did my usual morning chores like take care of my cats, collect water, and make my daily coffee and tea.  When the wash was done, I had to go buy a chicken.  Then when I got back, I had to process it into cat and human food.  It's a good thing I had some leftovers, because that was my lunch.  I didn't have time for my mandatory nap before Mary Unknown7 began her set, do I wasted the first hour being drowsy.  God, I hate that.  Damned busy mornings.  The second hour I finally woke up, so it turned out to be a less than mediocre session today.  But if Allah liked it, that's all that matters.  I had to make dough in the evening after I finished up the work on the chicken.  That is tedious work, and it made my wood cutting board reek.  I had to process the chicken on a steel tray today.  But this new chicken routine is so much better for the cats, plus it saves on cat food.  I still haven't put away the dough.  Wow, it looks like I have too much food for my cooler all of a sudden.  I'm going to have to eat all that dough quickly.

Qur'an 20191009

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

83.  They ask you concerning the Two horned One.  Say, "I will rehearse to you something of his story."

84.  Verily We established his power on earth, and We gave him the ways and means to all ends.

The Cave 18:83-84

Hi Erin

How are you feeling today, Honey?  I hope you are not still restless or lonesome or anything like that.  I want to be with you dearly, because I love you so much.  Don't you worry about a thing, my love.  Everything is going to work out just great for us inshaAllah.

It's cold and wet right now.  I got rained on a little on the way to the mosque just now, but otherwise Allah spared me a drenching.  I guess I was blessed enough to travel between the rain bursts.  That was a couple of hours ago, the Internet was out for whatever reason and it just came back on, so I'm sorry to be late today.  Not much to report other than that.  Dinner tonight was pita bread and generic curry.  I think you would like this curry.  It's extra thick, and it's nothing but curry, no meats, fish or veggies in it unless you catch the small piece of salted fish I used for flavor.  Anyway, keep calm and patient, and have some fun in the meantime.  I love you!

"This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you"

Hi Natty!  How's it going, Sweetheart?  You look like you're having lots of fun.  I've always wanted to visit the Netherlands, and see the canals, the flowers and the windmills.  But now I have become like a tree, and rooted here.  I am happy that you get to go sight-seeing there.  If you are on the train, then you must be doing all the touristy things!  :-D

Oh, did you get into trouble with some people for your "Van Goghin' around" remark?  If so, then screw 'em!  I thought it was cute, funny and artsy, but then again you are my girl, and I love you.  Van Gogh's work is worth millions if not billions today, and who knows when and how it got that way, but he himself was destitute all his life.  Life of an artist.  What I and Mary Unknown7 do has some art, but is mostly what is called "endorsement", where we provide foreigners with a reason to come here and to Second Life, and bring their money with them, thus enriching the community, and InshaAllah I receive my sustenance from that enrichment.  This was not my idea but Allah's, and Allah is also the One Who provides the music and the situation.  So it is also a heavily religious agenda.  After all, the people could always deny that I have anything at all to do with Allah and their livelihood, and leave me to perish in poverty and/or assassinate me, but that hasn't happened.  Yet.

Restless?

Hi Erin, my dahlink!  I love you so much!  How are those crazy emotions today?  Feeling somewhat restless?  Well, the life of a mainstream sports personality can get rather predictable, I expect.  I suppose it would be a sheltered life, being under the wing of the sports industry, especially if you are a talented sports psychic as I believe you are.  It certainly wouldn't be the same as the bohemian routine you used to follow.  Are you possibly missing the intrigue of Costa Rica, or the darkness of a midnight adventure in Hollywood, or treating your NYC neighbors to the privilege of listening to some nice music at 3 am?  Why don't you get back into the artsy crowd?  Why not?  It's something to do, and I trust you won't abuse substances, and you will keep your chastity.  Hm.  Here's something to do.  How about you spy on me at close range.  It seems to be the hobby of many people lately.  Just don't let me catch you watching me.  I might just chase after you and give you a football tackle and pin you down and kiss and undress you and we shouldn't be doing that in public plus we need to be married first.

I'm sorry there wasn't a set today, folks.  My Dad needed to go to the emergency room, so I gave Mary Unknown7 the day off.  There's nothing wrong with him today but so everything is fine right now alhamdulillah.

The Netherlands

Hi Natty!  It's always wonderful to see you, and even more so to see you enjoying yourself.  You look so tall compared to your kin.  I wonder how tall you are next to me...  I am well known in that country.  Well, notorious more likely.  I once tried for a Dutch wife, but it didn't work out.  Nothing against Dutch people, it was just a bad choice on my part.  Plus, she was engaged which stifled anything I could do to help her.  A lot of drama too, I am sure you could bear witness to that.  Mostly because the poor girl didn't find fortune easily in NYC.  I'm so grateful to Allah that town has been nicer to you.  Anyway, if I'm famous there, then so are you.  Have tons of fun OK?  I love you.

I went to the supermarket today and bought a chicken.  I also bought a Snickers bar.  Yes ma'am, that is a Snickers bar.
