This is NOT Patsy Cline.
I like to collect plastic bags to reuse. I have a drawer full of plastic bags, some of them might be years old. I guess I'm overwhelmed with plastic bags right now.

Patsy Cline
Hi Erin! How's it going, Honey? How's business? I hope America is appreciating how precious their Sports Princess is. I love you! What's for dinner? I have a lot of tomatoes. Tomatoes were going for super cheap yesterday at the supermarket. So for the next few days it's going to be tomato everything. When I was a kid, I didn't care so much for fresh tomatoes. Now I can't get enough of them. I'm thinking about singing a couple of Patsy Cline songs. "Walkin' After Midnight" of course. Do you have another song to suggest?

It's the end of the world. Agriculture is being abandoned in favor of Bitcoin, and nature is being choked by trash. It does seem overwhelming. The locals here haven't caught on to biodegradable bags yet, so there's still a lot of plastic out there. Here we have people smuggling in trash, most likely because other people pay to get rid of it. Sounds corrupt to me. I try to generate as little trash as possible and with my new diet and budget, I seem to be doing that quite well. Today was a good day. This snapshot below shows 2 days of trash for me.

Qur'an 20190502
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
61. Among them are men who molest the Prophet and say, "He is an ear." Say, "He listens to what is best for you, he believes in Allah, has faith in the believers, and is a mercy to those of you who believe." But those who molest the Prophet will have a grievous penalty.
62. To you they swear by Allah in order to please you. But it is more fitting that they should please Allah and God's messenger if they are believers.
63. Know they not that for those who oppose Allah and God's messenger is the fire of hell, wherein they shall dwell. That is the supreme disgrace.
64. The hypocrites are afraid lest a chapter be sent down about them, showing them what is in their hearts. Say, "Mock you! But verily Allah will bring to light all that you fear."
65. If you question them they declare, "We were only talking idly and in play." Say, "Was it at Allah, and God's Signs, and God's messenger that you were mocking?"
(The Repentance 9:61-65)

Happy Anniversary, Natty
Hi Natty! How are you today, my beautiful Sweetheart? I guess it's been a year since I officially proposed to you, and gave you a dowry. I'm sorry it wasn't a ring, but that's coming inshaAllah. I can't really count the years either, because I'm so slow at making money. I have to take what Allah gives me, I pray that you understand. I also can't count the time I found you at Models.com. To me, we actually started with the photo below:
That's dangerous water, Natty! Your bosses had better take sweet, loving care of you. I sang you a song for today, I hope you like it. Please wear headphones to hear the real trippy effect. I love you Natty, and I will marry you inshaAllah.

Qur'an 20190501
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
51. Say, "Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us: God is our Protector." And in Allah let the believers put their trust.
52. Say, "Can you expect for us other than one of two glorious things? But we can expect for you either that Allah will send you punishment by God Self or by our hands. So wait: we too will wait with you."
53. Say, "Spend willingly or unwillingly. Not from you will it be accepted, for you are indeed a people rebellious and wicked."
(The Repentance 9:51-53)

Holiday
Hi there, my lovely Ladies! How are you today? How's it like to be so beautiful? I wanna be pretty too! I hope you are having tons of fun being you, and don't worry so much OK? Things will turn out great for us inshaAllah. I figured out the solution to the Mystery of the Missing Lunch. Tomorrow is Labor Day here, so the locals took Monday and Tuesday off to celebrate Wednesday. Which seems silly to me because the civil servants only have Wednesday off, but independent businesses take the day off whenever they feel like it. For instance, this year's Eid al-Fitr is on a Wednesday, so the civil servants and the school kids will have 5 days off (Wednesday to Sunday) even though Eid al-Fitr is technically only one day. But most locals celebrate 13 days of Eid al-Fitr, and if they own a business then they will be closed for 13 days. I don't know why or who made up that tradition, I have to work every day, so it's all the same old day to me. Does it all seem confusing to you? People are insane!

The Mystery of the Missing Lunch
Hi there, my most Precious Ladies! How are you feeling today? I certainly hope those emotions are presented nicely and nicely in control. Yeah it's a weird situation we have, but it is unique and special alhamdulillah. So please be patient and nice, things are going to work out great for us inshaAllah. I had a busy morning today. I don't like busy mornings because they affect my singing during voice training, but what to do? After doing chores then driving around paying bills and running errands, I got a haircut. I hadn't eaten yet today, but I thought I would get lunch at Omar's on the way home. But he was closed, which was strange to me because it was Monday lunch! I had my heart set on lunch at Omar's, so I decided to just go home and cook something. On the way home, there usually are lots of carts selling different foods on the side of the road, but today there was only one guy. And it was Monday lunch! I'm fussy about who I buy cooked meals from, so I went home and fried up an egg and a burger, put them between 2 slices of bread with some mayo, and that was lunch.
It's mango season again, and there is a local delicacy called "garam belacan". It's a dip that's made of soy sauce, salt, sugar, chillies, and "belacan" (fermented shrimp paste). It's normally eaten as a dip for sliced green mangoes, which are sour. The dip is very sweet and spicy, so it makes a nice contrast. Smelly, though. I made some just now, but I guess I'll enjoy it after I get back from the mosque.
