The collar

Urgh, people are gossiping!  And it's driven you to tears!  You hate it when people talk about you.  Even if they were saying something good about you, you hate it, you hate it, you HATE IT!  Don't worry Honey, everything is going to be just fine.  You're going to handle this with great aplomb.  After all, you were born into a showbiz family, you already have the mentality to tackle this issue.  The problem with gossip is mostly what people do to themselves.  Luka has some ear mites, and today I cleaned her ears several times.  Believe me, they are spotless.  But she's a nervous cat.  A few months ago, she was ripping her fur out because of one flea.  That's right, ONE flea.  So even if a slight wind tickles her ears, she beats them up.  Passionately.  It's a good thing she has the collar on.  So what's the moral of this story?  Give up your addiction to social media if you don't want to hear people talk about you.  Oh, but do you love social media?  You're addicted to it?  Sigh.  Natty, ignore them OK?

The other option is to not put any value in what they say.  Let their words bounce off you like water off a duck's feathers.  It's what I do.  Plus, you are the only social media I look at.  Can you do that?  I'm sure you can.  You are resilient.  You are MY girl, and I love you.  I will marry you inshaAllah.

By the way, Sundays are PINK!!!

Qur'an 20181104

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

29.  Say, "Whether you hide what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all.  God knows what is in the heavens, and what is on earth, and Allah has power over all things."

30.  On the day when every soul will be confronted with all the good it has done, and all the evil it has done, it will wish there were a great distance between it and its evil.  But Allah cautions you Godself, and Allah is full of kindness to those that serve God.

31.  Say, "If you do love Allah, follow me.  Allah will love you and forgive you your sins, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, most Merciful."

32.  Say, "Obey Allah and God's messenger."  But if they turn back, Allah loves not those who reject faith.

(The Family of Imran 3:29-32)

Ice blue

Hi Honey!  How's it going today, my love?  Are you keeping your cool?  Yes, it should be getting quite cold over there.  It's a nice cool day here.  It was so comfortable this morning, that I had such a difficult time getting up.  When I did get up, I felt so sluggish doing the chores.  I guess that's the problem with being too comfortable, is that we become sluggish.  But it felt so good!  I felt so happy.  I love comfortable weather.  It stayed nice and cool all day, and right now I only have one fan on.

The guy that was always shooting me while I sing was finally taken care of, so I'm not being disturbed by him right now.  I suspect he had his account shut down due to his acts of griefing, just as I expect he would log in as an alt with a different username so he could get some sort of revenge.  It's like the ancient days, the people who murdered Jesus Christ (peace be on him), also nowadays the people who murder those who strive for just dealings, they don't care about God.  They think they will never be caught.  However, God had severe punishment prepared for them.

I didn't get that many good snapshots with my photo shoot.  Oh well, it can't be always a good day.

Qur'an 20181103

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

26.  Say, "O Allah!  Lord of Power, You give power to whom You please, and You strip off power from whom You please.  You endue with honor whom You please, and You bring low whom You please.  In Your hand is all Good.  Verily, over all things You have Power."

A day of curry

Hi Honey!  How are you feeling today?  Are you getting excited again?  Oh well, wherever you go, there you are.  We can't escape who we are.  Just enjoy the ride, and hang on to yourself.  I had harvested some coconuts a week ago, because I had planned to make curry.  Then all these other foods popped up, and only today I got to do my curry project.  I always make a generic curry, one that you can add beef, chicken, fish or whatever to, or just eat it by itself.  My Mom showed me a way to mix in the curry spices so that it doesn't clump, it's very effective.  I processed the coconut milk so it was runnier than usual, but the curry still came out quite thick.  I took out half of it then ate some of that for lunch with fry bread.  The other half, I wanted to make lentil curry.  Lentils usually break up very easily, but I had been cooking this curry all day and the lentils are still quite snappy.  Probably because I didn't soak them overnight.  Oh no, I forgot a chunk of salted fish!  At least the lentil curry got the salted fish, and it really makes a difference in flavor.  My Mom gave me a baguette, and I ate that with the lentil curry for dinner.  Do you like curry?

So much space, and not enough furniture

Hi Honey!  How are you today, my dearest heart?  Did you have a fun day yesterday?  Have you been partying?  Come on, you can tell me!  Well, please take good care of your precious self.  I'm sorry I'm not with you to chase people away with a stick.  I want to be with you.  Always.  Not much going on here.  I went shopping.  I bought a gallon of bleach.  Can't live with cats and be without bleach!  Flour was cheap, so I bought  a lot of that.  Thank God I know how to make dough.  Sliced cheese was cheap too.  Maybe it's time for a pizza... Yeah pizza should be with mozzarella, but if you close your eyes and taste the cheese, then what's the difference?

I didn't get many good snapshots on my photo shoot.  The problem was the location was so huge, I wasted too much time scouting it.  There was a gateway, which was beautiful, and lower levels that were just tremendous.  I should have focused my efforts on just the gateway.  I found a house there that was huge, and from the outside it looked so impressive.  When I went inside there was so much open space.  Yeah there was furniture in every room, but it was concentrated on a certain section of the room and left the rest of the space bare.  At least I wouldn't be bumping my shoulder and stubbing my toes into things.  I should have taken a snapshot of the house, huh.  I couldn't live in such a huge house.  And have to furnish it, then worst of all clean it.  Ugh.

Qur'an 20181101

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

20.  So if they dispute with you, say, "I have submitted my whole self to Allah and so have those who follow me."  And say to the people of the Book and to those who are unlearned, "Do you submit yourselves?"  If they do, they are in right guidance.  But if they turn back, your duty is to convey the message.  And in Allah's sight are God's servants.

(The Family of Imran 3:20)
