jdmkleinIt was a lovely weekend. Life seemed almost normal. Today, just to make the point that it isn't normal, we woke this morning to rain. A dreary day. Master has headed back north. i must learn how not to make the almost crying face when i say goodbye. He knows my feelings, i don't have to advertise that i am worried and nervous. i don't want Him to go back up north with all the stress that entails and have Him worrying about me too. i called Him about 30 minutes after He left. i knew He wouldn't be out of the country yet. He said He'd call when He got to the border. There is some running to be done here. Apparently all those police cars sitting in the warehouse need to be jump started. They've been sitting since July. Now that they are needed, the won't start. He is trying to find a something to do that with. Was called last night and told to pick up this thing that will start 100 cars. Only two problems: it requires electricity to do it and that particular warehouse has none, and, after starting 4 or 5 cars, it needs 12 hrs to recharge. Duh! me, i asked can't they use the battery from one of the trucks to start one or two cars, and then use those batteries to start others? Well, that would work if there were unlimited numbers of jumper cables. Ok, so i don't think things through to their logical conclusion some days. Still, one car could start another, remove the cables and start another and so on. Men must make it so difficult some days.
i did a harder workout on the gym today; more weight on some exercises, more reps on others. i worked up an honest to goodness sweat. Not just a glow, a real smelly armpit, wet crotch, stinky feet, water running down my back sweat. i love how i feel after a hard workout. Showered, washed my hair, and dressed again. Still feeling workout warm. Drinking a cuppa. Trying to decide how to spend my day. Probably here. Maybe to the book store in Salmiya. i finished my first Ruth Rendell. i don't think it will be my last, but i will not buy any of her work. Easy read, nicely put together, but just no oomph for me. Must go back to the Corfu webiste and see what books others who have spent time on the island suggest for reading material.
Master may not be back before i leave. That saddens me. With the elections coming, the provisional, i think it is still the provisional, gov't has said the borders will be closed, there will be curfews, road blocks, and check points. Gas stations will be closed, another problem with the police cars, can't get them fuel. Need a letter from some Col. or Gen. or Minister or someone to release the fuel needed. It's eid, THOSE people don't work on eid. But they expect stuff ready 98 sec. after eid. Not my problem, but Master is. i hate to see Him stressed. We can talk on the computer He said, if He isn't able to get back. and really, there is no need for Him to do so. i can take a cab to the airport. i need to go late at night, and if He took me i'd feel bad cuz He'd miss some sleep. i come back late, so a taxi is the answer for the return trip too. i just want to see Him again, just in case.
i'm done for now.
