Goodbye, Mom and Dad

 

Hi Natty.  My parents moved out of their home today to another state, and my sister will be taking care of them from now on.  You've probably been watching this, so that's why the past week has been so hectic for me, it was leading to this day.  This morning was probably the last time I saw my parents alive, or ever again, because I'm not going over there to traipse on enemy turf especially since my orders are to stay put here.  Mom and Dad, thank you for my life.  From Allah is our origin, and to Allah is our return.

Qur'an 20211127

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

194.  Verily those who you call upon besides Allah are servants like unto you.  Call upon them, and let them listen to your prayer, if you are truthful!

195.  Have they feet to walk with?  Or hands to lay hold with?  Or eyes to see with?  Or ears to hear with?  Say, "Call your 'god-partners', scheme against me, and give me no respite!"

196.  For my protector is Allah, Who revealed the Book, and God will choose and befriend the righteous.

197.  But those you call upon besides God are unable to help you, and indeed to help themselves.

The Heights 7:194-197

Electric light

 

Hi Natty!  Are you mad at me?  Please don't be mad at me, because I love you with all of my heart.  I just think an ornate ring doesn't really suit you, and not just impractical.  Ornate rings are for people who wear evening gowns all the time.  We could just have matching rings, like that snapshot on your Instagram.

I'm a bit dizzy and drowsy today.  It's been a busy day, with a lot of running around.  I bought a new pair of flip-flops and a new LED bulb to replace the one in my porch light.  Isn't that a nice light show above?  A good light show is probably the only real reason to go to a live show anymore.  Anyway, I'm gonna go.  It's been emotionally draining lately, I'm going to try for a nap before I go to the mosque.  I love you!

Sorry again, folks

 

Natty, that's a beautiful ring.  Do you like that ring?  Of course you do.  I think it's gorgeous.  I've never seen a design like that.  Those protrusions make it very aesthetic and delicate.  I don't think it's the kind of ring you can wear gardening or hiking, though.  Plus, those protrusions might hurt your finger when something random happens.  And something random always happens: it's one of life's sure things.  I suggest when you choose a ring, that it be a ring that you can wear all the time to anywhere to do anything, and be easy to wash without losing any stones.  After all, you are Nature Girl right?

I'm sorry to announce folks, that Mary Unknown7 will only be performing a 40 minute set tomorrow.  Yes it's my fault again, I have an appointment I can't avoid.  So if any of you want to come to the karaoke joint and challenge Mary to a 2 hour sing-off, it's going to have to happen the day after tomorrow.

Qur'an 20211125

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

186.  To such as Allah rejects from God's Guidance, there can be no guide.  God will leave them in their trespasses, wandering in distraction.

187.  They ask you about the Hour: when will be its appointed time?  Say, "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord.  None can reveal as to when it will occur.  Heavy is its burden through the heavens and the earth.  Only all of a sudden will it come to you."  They ask you if you were eager in search thereof.  Say, "The knowledge thereof is with Allah, but most humans know not."

188.  Say, "I have no power over any good or harm to myself except as Allah Wills.  If I had knowledge of the unseen, I should have multiplied all good, and no evil should have touched me.  I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings to those who have faith."

The Heights 7:186-188

Sorry folks

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I hope you are feeling good over there.  Please don't be so concerned about what other people want and say.  High school never ends.  Or is that a sorority?  Whatever.  I think it's OK to focus on our happiness together.  You are MY girl, and I don't want any other girl.

That being said, I'm still too poor to be married, so please forgive me.  I'm so sorry about that.  And I'm sorry that Mary was late today.  That was my fault, I had to complete an unfinished task.  Poor Mary had to wait all that time.  But we are a team, and she won't do anything without me.

Movie night

 

Hi Natty!  What's going on, Honey?  I hope you're having a great time over there, and feeling great too.  It's a little more relaxed here for me today.  Just a lot of kicking back and listening to music.  And watching a movie!

That drummer is a dinosaur!  Let's watch a movie, Natty!  tonight's movie is "Jurassic World" (2015).  Oh, you've seen it already?  Let's watch it again!  There are a lot of movies I like to watch over and over again, and never get tired of.  In fact this movie is on my death list, meaning that it's one of the movies I want to watch while I'm dying.  So where are we at?  We are at the part where the scientist explains to the boss about the makeup of the monster.  The monster is a cat!  Meow!
