May. 2nd, 2002 08:57 pmWell, we learned the inconvenient way that the DSL bill should not be allowed to lapse. It took nearly 24 hrs to be reconnected. i didn't get to write last night.
i have had a Mommas and Poppas cd running through my head for the past week. i am about crazy with it. i can't sleep at night, (i call your name) and when i finally do, i wake up with one of the songs right back where it was when i left it. The music is with me all the time, whenever i'm not actively thinking or talking of something else, there is that damn music. i finally broke down today and told Master i need to be beaten senseless. i need to be bound tightly and securely and beaten until i have no coherent thought in my head. That's the only way i can see to get this Momma and Poppa demon out of my head.
i think i've pushed myself to hard this past week also. i've doubled the riding time in one fell swoop. Last night, in addition to 'the devil music' my knees ached. It might also be that i wore heeled shoes to work two days in a row. Something i don't normally do, but since i'm slowly but surely dropping the poundage, i felt like being 'sexy' at work. Sure Sure Sure, like anyone would notice, but it did me a world of good, and now i wonder if it didn't cause me also a world of knee hurt.
Sometimes i wonder why Master just doesn't throw me away and get a new and unused model.
We went out to the farming area of Kuwait today. Kuwait imports a lot of its food, but there are some things, like salad vegetables, herbs, and fruit that can be grown in the Wafra area of Kuwait. i don't know what i was expecting, but at first i was a bit disappointed. i guess i thought there would be green fields, and beautiful farm yards like i am used to in Iowa. Big surprise! Most of it looks like dustbowl truck gardens. But in its own way, it was neat. We saw patches of potatoes, and some fig trees, and where the strawberries and cukes and tomatoes are grown. One thing we learned quite early on in my life here, local grown tomatoes taste like the tomatoes that grew in my grandmother's garden, not like the pinky colored, round shaped library paste that passes for imported tomatoes.
And, this is a new part of the desert for me. And, it's totally different from the desert we usually go to. Now i truly understand the term 'shifting sand desert'. On the trip out to Wafra, it was almost as if we were driving in a blizzard, but with sand. There was sand blowing across the road so badly in some places that if it weren't for the car ahead of us, we wouldn't have known for sure where the road was. The blowing sand made the desert look clean and crisp and beautiful. All the dirt, pollution and other gunk, had been covered by the sand. We saw camels, lots and lots of camels. i always get excited by the camels. And goats, and sheep, too, those i can see in Iowa anytime, but not camels. Saw some horses too, duh! this is the Arabian Penninsula, what kind of horses did i expect them to be? It was a great day! Ended the road trip at the market, and now maybe tomorrow will be a stay home day.
Gonna ride tomorrow again for sure. Might try for a swim too. That remains to be seen, though. First the water has to be tested. i don't like to swim in bath water, on the other hand, i don't want to fight my way around the odd ice berg floating in the water.
