Moon River

Hello there, my precious Ladies.  How are you today?  How's work?  Good and easy, I hope.  It's so sleepy here today.  I'm sleepy.  I got up at 4 am this morning, that's why.  Did some worship, then practiced guitar.  I got my chores done early and had an early lunch, because I had to do a bit of a scavenger hunt.  I was on a quest for dates and pomegranates.  The dates were easy enough to find.  The problem was that I don't like dates, and they were expensive.  But I was blessed to find one box sitting alone for half the price of the others, and these dates weren't that bad.  Very soft and sweet.  Hurt my teeth.  The pomegranates were more difficult to find.  None of the fruit stands by the side of road had any.  The market didn't have any.  At that point I decided to give up, so I went to get gasoline.  It was still early, and I don't carry a timepiece.  Not even a cell phone.  When I paid for the gasoline I asked the girl for the time, and it was almost 10 am.  Which means the big supermarkets are open. I went for a last try for pomegranates, and what they had was pomegranate juice.  So I bought that.  I ate some dates and drank pomegranate juice before voice training today.  I guess that was my lunch lunch.  It was a very sleepy set today.

The mouse

Hi there, my beautiful Ladies!  How are those emotions today?  Well I do so hope that you are feeling good, and everything is nice and easy for you.  Let's please work together, OK?  I'm doing OK over here.  There was a cat emergency yesterday: Floofy puked out her dinner then refused to eat breakfast, all the while moping under the oven.  But she ate her dinner today with enthusiasm, so I guess she's OK now.  I suppose she ate something that didn't agree with her tummy.  Cats do that, eat things to puke it out.  Possibly some sort of vermin.  When you get your houses from me inshaAllah, I suggest you keep 2 cats (not dogs) locked up in each house to control mouse activity.  2 cats work together as a team to catch mice.  Keep them in the house 24/7 so they get bored, and cats that are not fixed are more tenacious.  You can't keep an unfixed male cat in the house, so they have to be female.  You will have to love them and take good care of them or they might refuse to work.  Granted, they will howl and such when they are in heat, but if you love them you will be patient right?  Mice stay away from my house.  But my Mom doesn't like cats, so she has a mouse problem.  I set a trap in her kitchen on Monday, then the next morning there was a mouse in it.  I left the trap under the open sun to kill it.  Hey, there is no humane way to execute a mouse!  Am I supposed to keep it as a pet?  But it rained the past couple of days so the sun didn't come out, so the mouse survived another 2 days.  The mouse obviously knew it was on Death Row.  But what did it do all the while it was in the cage?  It built a nest!

Hi Erin

How are you, Honey?  Not feeling too out of sorts, I hope.  Emotions can be a pain sometimes.  When I was younger, I thought it would so nice not to be able to feel anything.  No anger, no disappointment, nothing.  Now I need my emotions, otherwise I can't work.  Our emotions drive us and motivate us, for me I need my emotions to sing.  I'm sorry our situation isn't perfect.  Don't worry Honey, things will work out great for us inshaAllah.  Please pray and think of us, next life things will be perfect inshaAllah, with perfect feelings.  My sleeping hours have gone completely random lately, maybe it's my fault for enjoying work so much.  But I get exhausted, and it affects my singing.  Today I fell asleep right after voice training, that's why I'm late today.  It's like I need to hear the singing in order to sleep.  But I need sleep in order to sing well.  I'm so irritated with myself.  But I don't want to take sleep drugs.  My estimate is that it would get worse.  I'll have to adapt sleep to when Allah allows me to sleep.

Hi Natty.  It looks like you had a wonderful little birthday party.  Happy Birthday twins!

Hi Erin

How are you feeling, Honey?  You don't talk much to me anymore, but I understand.  But when the money comes to me inshaAllah, I'm going to need your help OK?  I want to marry you.  That was a strange rain cloud this morning.  Yeah I was picking up my Dad's meds this morning, and a rain could followed me around.  It had rained earlier but the rain died, so I thought it would be safe to run errands.  So I had to pick up the prescriptions at 2 places, first I went to the clinic and it was nice and sunny.  While I was waiting, I was mesmerized by this guy who had the hairiest ears I had ever seen.  It looked like there was thick armpit hair growing on his ears.  When I got out from the clinic, there was this very low rain cloud rushing up to me as fast as a speeding sports car.  Good thing the hospital was right next door, because that's where I had to go next.  Right as I reached the pharmacy window, the rain slammed down.  Wow!  It's almost as if that rain cloud had a soul.  As it was, I also managed to stop at the supermarket and I didn't get soaked at all between the bursts.  Allah was being nice.  Alhamdulillah.

Natty, I forgot to wish Happy Birthday to your twin brother.  Sorry, but I forgot.  I guess I really am girl crazy...

Qur'an 20190715

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

106.  And most of them believe not in Allah without associating with God!

107.  Do they then feel secure from the coming against them of the covering veil of the wrath of Allah, or of the coming against them of the Hour, all of a sudden, while they perceive not?

108.  Say you, "This is my Way.  I do invite unto Allah, on evidence clear as the seeing with one's eyes, I and whoever follows me.  Glory to Allah!  And never will I join gods with Allah!"

109.  Nor did We send before you any but men, whom We did inspire, living in human habitations.  Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them?  But the home of the Hereafter is best, for those who do right.  Will you not then understand?

110.  Until when Our messengers giveup hope, and think they were treated as liars, there reaches them Our help,and those whom We will are delivered into safety.  But never will be warded off Our punishment from those who are in sin.

Joseph 12:106-110

Yay, pizza!

Happy Birthday, Natty!  Let's celebrate with pizza!  Yay!  Yahoo!  Yippee!  Yeeeehaaaaw!  First is the deep dish pizza.  I messed up the crust a little, dammit.  Next time I'll be more patient, and wait until the thing cools down before I handle it.

That crust was a bit deep.  Since the cheese goes on the bottom, I had to fill it up with something tangible.  Good thing the eggplant was abundant in the garden.  By the Will of Allah!  I have no power but the Power of Allah!  So the deep dish pizza is eggplant and sausage.

Next is the regular crust pizza.  Argh!  The basil is still too young!

But I decided that I had enough baby basil to make my favorite sausage and basil pizza.

Did I eat all that pizza?  Hell, yeah!  Now that I don't have to work at the pizza joint anymore, I fuckin' love pizza!  Well, no.  I gave a couple slices of the deep dish pizza to my parents.  And if you were here to eat pizza with me, I would have made another pizza!
