thought I should catch up on this ol’ blog of mine.

I don’t really have any major news, just everyday ramblings. Alhamdulilah today I got to visit/help a dear dear friend of mine and we got plenty accomplished as far as her to do list. She brewed some Arab coffee for me in the morning (which is probably why I can’t sleep right now)  and when we returned from where we had to go she presented a delicious lunch as we chit-chatted about everything. I loved spending some time with her and, most importantly, to see her doing so much better than even just last week.

I went home to find S doing some domestic work, which is as rare as finding a 100 dollars in your pocket. But she did it to make mommah happy and I thought it was pretty sweet. Speaking of sweet, homegirl even baked a carrot cake for after dinner. Our own little Miss Betty Crocker in all.

So today marks the one week “anniversary” since hubmister left and alhdamulilah him and I are taking it better than I thought we would. Of course I rather be with him right here and right now, but I think we’re just getting used to the circumstances. Besides there’s so much going on, it keeps us busy. At least we talk as often as when he was here, so not everything is completely different. He’s forever my most super duper greatest bestest favorite beanhead with the greatest smile in the whole world alhamdulilah.

And I still sniff his clothes -which I plan to take to Lubbock with me this Sunday.

Dang it, I just realized I have to complete a safety training thing before this weekend. I hate these safety training lessons. When I was working at Baylor I spent four hour for three days watching the same un-updated cornyvideos from high school and my labs. I nearly passed out in boredom and bribed myself to make it through the “training”. I take bribes very well. Yes, yes I do.

I don’t think I’m even going to pack until Saturday. WOW! One thing I’m really excited about is the plan ride! The last time I flew in an airplane (besides just popping out my wings and taking off) was five to six years ago when a herd of classmates and I traveled to Bethesda, Maryland/Washington DC. I swore I would live in Bethesda one day although everything is nearly twice as expensive as lil’ ol’ Houston. But it is a gorgeous city with birds chirping beautiful songs very morning to gently wake you from your nightly slumber. The air was clean and you didn’t smell the pollutants of everyday waste. Oh, and people are friendly, like “Oh no, your car is in the shop? Please have the keys to my bran new car. No, no I insist.” Well not that nice, but you get the point. Folks are Friendly with a capital F.

Ack, I don’t feel so good anymore. I had Chipotle for dinner and something hasn’t been sitting with me ever since. It’s like this mild burning sensation in the back of throat and nose. Is this what heartburn feels like? I feel like I might vomit fire or something…

Nonetheless, I’m just going to sleep on it. InshaAllahI won’t wake up in a pool of gastrointestinal juice.

Ha. How disgusting.
