Thank you God for the weekends.

I am so glad He valued a day of rest. I went to bed at 8:00 last night. I always thought it was strange when Will would just fall dead on “Friday” nights, but now I can understand!

Early this morning I woke up with cramps that would even make a NFL football player cry. I got up and you would have thought I had turned into a 275 pound college football playing beer guzzling fraternity brother. I stood in the kitchen and chugged 3 bottles of water in less than 6 minutes. I then had a banana and went back to bed. By the way, thanks Lyna for your letter. You are too sweet. I am getting Gatorade today! I drank the last one a couple of days ago.

Lesson to all, you may need a lot more water than you think- so freaking drink plenty!

My parents had me a little upset the last two days. They have basically packed our bags and are now constantly asking us when we are moving. They even went and got the key to our new place for us.

Hmmm.

I guess that was a hint. It kind of upset me, and in some weird way hurt my feelings. I’m freaking sick and there is no way I can move this weekend. Plus I hadn’t talked to my boss, the person who coordinates my transportation, about it. He thinks I am moving next weekend, because that was the plan. I know my parents are ready for us to go- we’re ready to go too- but we made no plans to do it this weekend. Plus, the housing lady told us it would be next weekend, so that is what I’m going to go by. I told them we were waiting until next week and they didn’t say a lot It wasn’t like they were mad or anything, but I could tell they probably wished we would get out sooner. The way I see it is we’ve already been here almost 5 months, what’s another week, right? It has been interesting with 5 people in an apartment that’s for sure!

I am so glad it’s Saturday for us. I don’t think we have anything great planned. We are going to go see Cinderella Man late this afternoon. Can you believe that is just now coming to Kuwait! How crazy. We get stuff as it leaves theatres in the States, but this came really late! I guess I will enjoy my time going to see an “old” movie during the day! In the next few weeks that will be a luxury I will miss bad!

Ramadan is coming soon, and that will be an experience I will never forget. I’m sure you will hear me talk about it all the time for the next month. Everything shuts down all day during that month. The government ministries’ work even comes to a trickle. The Kuwaitis fast all day long and then all night is like a huge massive party. I think the night life may be neat to see (minus the terrible traffic), but the day will be unbearable. Everything is closed, from fast food to grocery stores- everything. If you are caught eating or smoking during the day you can be arrested on the spot until Ramadan is over. Even if you are in your car drinking water! The good thing is that since I I will be on a military post I will be able to eat during the day while I’m there, and by the time I leave at night it will be dark (they fast from sunrise to sunset), so it won’t be too strange, though I’ve heard it can get crazy at nights.Anyway, I said all that stuff to basically say I am going to enjoy going out to eat and to a movie this weekend because we won’t be able to do that soon!

Thursday posts are always boring and uneventful. Ah well. I just can’t stay away from you girls. What can I say?

Have a great day. <3
