budding
there's been developments:
1. i barfed 7x in one day and mohammad witnessed 5 of the times. he's in it to win it. he's locked in --for better or worse, sickness or health, for barfs or not barfs. he's a barfing coach. he's here for all of it. literally. i don't know if it was food poisoning or norovirus, but i do know that popsicles were needed. bethany went and got me some and then her car broke down. mom called all the church mens until she found one who could give me a blessing. i barfed all my guts out and ralphed my gall bladder dry of bile. fun times.
2. mohammad traveled to damascus. he caught a bus at 2am, traveled five hours in the night, arrived 7am and went right to the government building before it was open. he discovered that our marriage papers have been gathering dust because...BECAUSE...because they didn't know what to put for what type of christian i am. honestly. truly. anjad. the online form they have to compute is like christian--orthadox, christian--protestant, christian--catholic etc etc. they didn't know what to put for me! so they just put it aside. all these last 6 months this has been the case. the guy mohammad had being our middle man was not middle manning. pfft. he didn't even find out what the issue was, he just kept putting mohammad off, saying oh in 3 weeks, oh after this event, or after this holiday. meanwhile our papers were languishing at the what kind of christian are you counter! so! then he was telling them that i am none of those kinds of christian and they were like, no you have to find out which one of these. but a lady who worked there, who according to m, had a lazy eye, making it very diffficult to know where she was looking, stepped in to help him. a lazy eye but a heart of gold. this lazy eye lady is a christian and she explained to her boss that there are many kinds of christians in other parts of the world that they don't have in syria. and she got the boss to agree to change the form. it's an online form. which must be changed to have a choice that just simply says christian. she gave m, her number and said he can call in 6 days to see if the form changes have happened. then he will go back down and hopefully complete this thing. that will be amazing.
3. mohammad got his first retirement salary. 60 buckeroos! this is good news.
4. mom and i spent monday morning in emergency. she was worried about her swollen leg and blood clots. so we went for an ultrasound and stayed for the vibes. thankfully everything was good. while we were there i heard this one lady who slammed her finger in the car door. she was worried about losing the nail. another lady ruptured her achilles and was so stressed about it. she was all over the place with her requests. she asked for an ultrasound and wanted it that day. the dr. was like it won't be today because it's not an emergency. and then she asked for a psych evaluation but when the dr. was like do you want to speak to a psych nurse? she declined. she kept saying she didn't have insurance for physio and couldn't take care of herself.
5. we had a tea party on good friday. it was biff's idea. the theme was floral. i made the vanilla cake with strawberry icing that i have been oogling in my tik tok saved for a while. it was yum. there was lots of treats and yummies and it was beautifully decorated and after we went on a short walk, did face masks, and watched anne of green gables. after i had super bad heart burn because it was the first complex food i ate since the barfies.
all 3 of us.
8. my hunny and i had an argument about the sands of the sahara traveling across the atlantic and feeding the amazon forest. i took this pic the exact moment i said "hunny you are going to be so upset when you realize once again that i am right."
