Of spirituality and meow-speak
Tuesday, August 28, 2007
This week..
Went to Mt Nebo and Madaba! Thankyou Huda for taking Rachel, Erika and me on such a fun, girly road trip! :D I finally got the much-awaited for moment of overlooking the Promised Land. I felt quite imbued with spiritual energy afterwards, and made many a spiritual comment to show my newly gained wisdom. See sample conversation below:
Me: you dont have to defend yourself
Emad: im not going to
Me: I am all accepting and all goodness
Emad: of course
Me: i am imbued with much spirituality today
Newly gained spiritual energy did not make me feel angry at annoying sister telling me I should not be so excited since the Promised Land was not meant for me. Hmph.
Had hours of guilt-free morning sleep. See, I live with Oksana - who I love to bits - but is annoyingly enough a very efficient morning person who wakes up at 6 or 7 am to start working. And hence I feel guilty enough to drag myself out of bed at 8:30 (sometimes I try and work from underneath the comforter by speaking to Oksana but that never works. She can barely understand me and hence I am forced to see the sunlight by emerging from cocoon of said comforter) But with her gone - I sleep till 10 AM! Woohoo.
Thought I was going to have relaxing weekend after spiritual trip. Instead ended up working through the weekend (but with great excitement as EBs did a kickass job all week and were writing to update me!), meeting the SG..thought Sunday would be calmer but then..
Get call from Grant Manager. Need to send in 4 pages of introduction to revised grant application before next morning. Spend so much time at Books@ working on it that I was convinced I'd have to spend the night there, and the servers thought it would be funny to confuse me when I finally got up to pay my bill. Was not amused. All spiritual energy was replaced by singalong music infused energy, combined with free coffee refills at Books@.
Also have convinced myself that God has sent all cats to my house as a sign to cheer me up when I come home all tired. Dad says cats have a sense for sniffing out fellow cat. I'm going to stick to the God theory before I start talking in meow-speak.
More later..
