Just another day in paradise, the third day of a four day weekend.

Master woke up before 6:30 and i started to haul myself out a few minutes later. When i asked to go to the bathroom, He told me to go back to bed and sleep some more. i was going to have a busy day. When i woke up again about 8:30, there was a note on my night table. i was on speech restriction, Master was gone out to the desert with the dog, and when He came back He expected me dressed to please Him, meet Him at the door with juice and have breakfast ready. It got better from there, but i don't remember exactly what. i know there was wax, i vacuumed the carpet, and i know He used the cups, they were on the sink counter when i woke up again at 1:30. The rest i don't know. I do have bruises, so it must have been good.

Later we took dog out again. In the morning Max met about 100 sheep head on. Master was very proud of him, when Master turned the car and started to drive away, Max followed right along. No looking back to the sheep. Tonight Max tried to catch an SUV, he ran full throttle at about 40 km/h and was closing on it, when the driver realized he was being chased and hit the gas. Max also discovered birds today, and was so surprised when the pigeon flew off and Max couldn't.

Went back to ikea tonight to pick up the shoe cabinet. All three pieces were damaged. i'm thankful the man looked at them so we didn't end up taking them home with us, but Master decided that instead of going all the way back there tomorrow again, we'd just take a refund and go buy the fake wood one at the furniture souk. When we got there tonight a different person was working. Last night the man quoted me 8 dinars for the cabinet. Tonight the guy wanted 15 dinars and the cabinent was damaged. i said no, last night i was told it was 8, so out of the goodness of his heart, he lowered the price to 12. Needless to say, we still don't have a shoe cabinet. i have heard, that just because i am American, some shop workers will double or triple the price. Now i believe it.

We are also still looking for a buffet. Went down to the furniture shops street to see about having one made, very simple lines, painted black. The materials cost 28 dinars, Master saw the numbers, the guy wanted 150 dinars. See above about how Americans are treated here by some. Don't have a new buffet yet either. So, next weekend, knees willing, we are going out to the Friday souk and see what we can find along the lines of area carpets, buffet, and shoe cabinet. i have to find Master's cane. i know where mine is.

i think Master is going to go to Doha tomorrow. We are just about out of pork. This is one thing that makes me sad. i can't go to Doha with Master. i don't have the proper papers to get on the base.
