Red Alert

Natty, please leave NYC immediately.  Just drop whatever it is you're doing, and return to Vancouver now.  Please.  I love you.  You can go back to NYC when the stock market calms down.  Somebody please get her out of there.

😭

Natty, I hope you're not still in NYC.  Oh, I'm so unhappy!  I feel like nobody listens.  I feel like knowledge is the most useless thing in the world.  When I look at the world, I can't see beauty.  All I can see is labor.  I'm tired.  I want to sleep.

Cooking

Hi Natty!  How are you today, my beautiful and precious darling?  I hope all is well with you.  What have you been doing with your time?  You could always practice cooking.  Remember to only use medium to low heat, unless you are experienced.  You can use high heat to boil water.  I had to go to the supermarket in the evening to buy some supplies for my parents.  The government implemented a "limited movement" thing in response to Covid-19 beginning today, where all businesses must close except groceries and essential services.  So the supermarket was packed with people buying stuff to cook at home, some probably for the first time in their lives.  I had a lot of work to do in the kitchen myself.  When I got back, I had to wash and soak the beans, get rid of the seeds then steam the dried chillies, then cook my dinner which was pita bread with tofu and sardine dip.  By the time I was done eating, it was sunset.  I know how to make dough alhamdulillah, and bread is cheaper and less messy than rice.  The sauce that comes with the sardines in the can is quite tasty I'm sure you know, it's because they cook the sardines in it.  Add some hot sauce, catsup and tofu and voila!  Sardine dip.  A bit too ketchuppy tonight though.  Next time, I'll use less or none at all.

Mary Unknown7 is using the stream now at the karaoke joint, just so that you folks know.  This means the vocals are louder and clearer, and more able to put you to sleep.

Beautiful poetry

Natty, that was some beautiful poetry that you wrote.  So loving and uplifting.  If you have the time, then you should write like that more, now that people need to hear it.  So benevolent.

The voice button on Mary Unknown7's account was grayed out today folks, so you didn't get to hear her sing.  I am truly sorry for that.  The voice button works on my other accounts but not for Mary's, so I assume Linden Labs has a problem with her singing.  I think she's a very good singer, don't you agree?  She's a bit bummed out right now, but I will try to figure out a solution inshaAllah so you folks can hear her singing now that you need it.

Scars

Hi Natty!  How are you?  I hope you are having a comfortable and easy time.  I pray that is the case, and you are languishing comfortably in Vancouver.  It's been an intense couple of weeks for you, hasn't it?  From the dark street in Paris to the Escape from New York, it's been some intense spiritual hammering on you.  This proves that Allah loves you, that you slipped through by the skin of your teeth, instead of the other extreme.  But you must feel scarred by the intensity of it all.  This injury is slight Natty, so please meditate on it and heal yourself.  What's happening in the US is far from over.  I'm sure you are worried about your friends, but all you can do is wait and watch.  I'm sure you wish to get back to NYC and back to business.  So wait until the stock market calms down, and it should be obvious when it does, and possibly then you can venture back to NYC.  The crash is far more dangerous than the virus.  I want you to know and remember that I love you with all of my heart, and that everything is going to work out just great for us inshaAllah.  Ya Allah, please protect my Natty.



Mary Unknown7 looks Italian today, doesn't she?

My decision is my excuse

Hi Natty!  How are you?  I hope everything is going well for you.  I'm doing OK here, it's bloody hot as usual.  Sweating can be a 24/7 thing at this time, and showers are mainly for me to cool down.  Oh AC, wherefore art thou?  Mornings aren't that hot though, so I usually wait until later to shower.  This morning my Mom wanted me to go to the supermarket and get her some strawberry milk, bread etc.  I couldn't have looked or smelled that good, but I went without showering.  It was a good thing I was in the middle of shaving when I received the command to go to the supermarket.  The checkout girls gave me dirty looks, but I don't care.  The local girls don't interest me.  I prefer pretty blondes!  I will put in more of an effort to dress and smell better when I get married inshaAllah.  Or was it maybe that I looked like a virus...

Friday

Hi Natty!  How are you?  Are you waiting for me, or are you just bored?  It's a good thing to be bored right now.  I hope everything is easy going for you at this time.  I want you to know that I love you with all my heart, and don't you worry about a thing because everything is going to work out just great for us inshaAllah.  OK?  It's Friday over here for me.  It doesn't feel like Friday, because the local government cancelled Friday prayers to help slow down Covid-19.  But at least Mary Unknown7 didn't have to wait for me to get back from the mosque and unlock the door so she could into the office.  Thus she actually had some time to warm up today before her session.  I cut the grass in the evening, so I'm a wee bit tired.  I had Spanish mackerel sashimi again for lunch today ( I had 2 fish), and cheeseburgers on pita bread for dinner.  I would call it an uneventful day for me with no complaints except that I had to do labor.  Ugh!  I just want to stay on the computer!  I love computer work!  But alhamdulillah.
