The elephant

Hi Natty!  How are you?  Are you having tons of fun?  Attending those big time Hollywood parties?  Well, please make sure you take care of your health and heart.  And don't be so concerned about jealous people.  I chose you, YOU are my girl, not them.  I love YOU.  OK?  OK!  It's just an average Monday here for me, but I get to go through the day (and its labor) at my own pace, which is great for my heart and temper.  I vacuum cleaned my parents' house in the morning along with other chores, then did some chainsawing in the evening.  Damn!  The chain is blunt!  I just bought that chain 3 or 4 months ago... I guess that is a while ago.  **grumble**  I'm going to have to sharpen each individual blade again, with a flat file.  Yeah that's where I got the idea of sharpening kitchen knives with a flat file, is from sharpening chainsaw blades.  Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and post this, then head out to the mosque.

Elephant?  I didn't see an elephant!  Did you see an elephant?

Sunday

Hi Natty!  What's going on?  How are you feeling today?  I hope you are feeling great and having a wonderful time.  Not much going on here, just the usual.  It's Sunday over here, and every Sunday morning I clean my mother's bedroom.  I always buy my lunch on Sundays, so I don't have to cook lunch.  Which matters, because I really need to wind down and rest, preferably sleep, before Mary Unknown7's daily vocal session.  Boy, that woman can easily put me into a coma.  By the evening, I was thoroughly and violently sick of doing labor, so I didn't do any yard work.  Instead I went to the supermarket and got some creamer and kibble for Emma, my outdoors cat.  I have a lot of computer work tonight, which I enjoy.  Then the kitties need petting, especially Yoolie.

Mary forgot to take off her bra for this outfit, and I didn't notice the fashion faux pas until after the photo shoot.  I don't think anyone would have noticed if I hadn't mentioned it.  Do you agree?

Making dough

Hi Natty!  How are you?  I hope you are doing great, keeping safe and healthy, and having a wonderful time.  Are you feeling a bit quiet, don't know what to say?  It happens sometimes.  Sometimes the philosopher, not the sociologist.  If you don't feel like saying anything, then don't.  It's Chinese New Year over here.  Yes, it's tourist season again.  The coronavirus doesn't seem to stop the tourists: they are as thick as a swarm of starlings.  We don't have starlings around here though, but there are other birds that flock just as thick.  Better singers, too.

Nothing special on the menu today.  I can't afford nice ingredients, so I'm just eating to get to the next meal.  Dinner was pita bread with chili and scrambled eggs.  Boring yeah, but the tummy loves boring food.  Don't forget that!  Anyway I'm out of dough, so I have to go make a batch.

Tree song

Hi Natty!  Oh, do you like to climb trees?  I'm too bulky and my feet are bad, so I can't climb trees: I have to use a ladder.  There are certainly a lot of trees around the house, and nature has a powerful grip on the yard: it is the tropics, after all.  I can have you climb the trees and tend to the LED spotlights, and do the pruning.  I saw this cute little chainsaw at the hardware store the other day: it was about the size of a purse, yet still gasoline powered!  Of course there are a lot of bugs on the trees.  Mostly ants, but at times one has to deal with other vermin like hornets, snakes, centipedes, and other unidentifiable creatures.

I have to buy this house in order to destroy this house in order to build a new house for my wife inshaAllah, but I can't even get started because I have no money right now.  No Natty, you can't keep that tree.  Not only is it a pest, but it's probably haunted.  That's the nature of my work: I have a lot of ghosts follow me around, so be ready for that.  And only Allah can raise the dead and make them speak.  We probably can't use that area where the tree has taken over even after I destroy it.  Maybe we can make it into a patio or something.

That's a dead jackfruit tree.  Normally I would try to chainsaw it down, but as you can see there's nowhere to run from the falling tree.  There are no houses or human traffic in that spot, so the safest thing to do is to let it fall by itself then try to dismantle it afterwards.

Anyway happy climbing, Natty!  Sing a song on the way to the canopy!  I love you!
