Where has the year gone
fleeting moments left behind
happiness is now.

Drinking coffee without my dentures in my mouth
Kamál (Perfection), 2 Mashiyyat (Will), 166 BE – Monday, September 28, 2009 about 7:47 AM Pacific Time
I'm not sure why I don't put my dentures in first thing in the morning. Perhaps it's because I'm still getting used to them. Perhaps it's because I need to go into the dentist for another adjustment. Perhaps it's because I can't seem to do anything complicated before my first cup of coffee in the morning.
Anyway, I've found out there are certain things I can accomplish without my teeth in my mouth. I can say prayers and I can drink coffee. The problem with drinking coffee without my dentures is that sometimes my coffee runs down my chin. I suspect there are other disadvantages to not putting my dentures in the first thing in the morning and I'm looking forward to finding out what they are. After all, life is an adventure and I'm going to treat the rest of my life as an adventure.

The Feast of Mashiyyat (Will)
Jamál (Beauty), 1 Mashiyyat (Will), 166 BE – Sunday, September 27, 2009 about 3:57 PM Pacific Time
Mom and I attended the Feast of Mashiyyat (Will) last night. The feast was spiritual and the reading were beautiful. I did have a little problem with my dentures when I was reading. This is the first time this has happened, my dentures shifted in my mouth while I was reading. Normally, the shift or move around when I am eating, but not when I am reading aloud.
Thinking about it, I have to admit it was humorous. After spiritual and business portion of the Feast came to social portion. The dentures stayed in place while I ate a couple of pieces of cantaloupe. Of course, I took small bites and ate slowly. I have found that is the best approach to the denture issue when eating. Now all I have to do is figure out what to do when the dentures shift while I am talking or reading.
I am not going to stop attending the nineteen-day Feast or agreeing to read when asked. I just have to figure out what to do about the denture issue. Perhaps I am using the wrong type of denture adhesive; maybe I should be using a powder instead of the type I am using.

I have a lot of catching up to do in Mashiyyat
Jalál (Glory), 19 ‘Izzat (Might), 166 BE – Saturday, September 26, 2009 about 12:53 PM Pacific Time
I have a lot of catching up to do in the next nineteen days. There are some thing I should just let drop and not go any further with them, but I probably won't. All right, it's my own fault that I'm behind and that doesn't make catching up any easier. I'm not sure what the problem is, at this point. I'll figure that out by the end of Mashiyyat.
Tonight is the Feast of Mashiyyat, my mother and I are going. I'm not letting attendance at the nineteen-day feast slide simply because I'm behind. Eventually I'll catch up and even get ahead, it will take a little time, but I will catch up and get ahead.

Friday at Last
Istiqlál (Independence), 18 ‘Izzat (Might), 166 BE – Friday, September 25, 2009 about 4:43 AM Pacific Time
When I was a child, Friday seemed a bigger deal then it does today. Perhaps it had to do with being out of school for two days and visiting my grandparents. We stayed with Grandma and Grandpa on the weekends. That's one advantage of living in the same town with one set of grandparents, you can see them more then once a year.
I remember weekends as special, perhaps because we (my brothers, sister and me) spent them with my grandparents. I don't think we did things differently then we did at home. In spring and summer, Grandpa took us to the Lake; I think it was staying with my grandparents that made the weekends special.
The weekends don't seem special anymore. Friday isn't as exciting as when I was a child. I think I'm in a rut. Today I plan to go to the bank, withdraw some money and pay a bill. Wednesday I went to the bank and did the same thing. Thursday I went to the dentist to get my lower dentures adjusted again. Friday just doesn't seem special anymore.

The first Thursday in Autumn
Istijlál (Majesty), 17 ‘Izzat (Might), 166 BE – Thursday, September 24, 2009 about 5:52 AM Pacific Time
It's the first Thursday in Autumn 2009. This morning there is a chill in the air giving Las Vegas an autumn feeling. Last night was warm. In fact, it felt more like a mid summer evening then an evening in early autumn. That's normal Las Vegas, normal desert autumn weather. Evening feels warm and morning chilly some times even cold.
It's too early in the season for a cold morning. It's too early in the season to consider turning the cool air off. I expect the day to warm up enough for the cold air to come on. I'll keep an eye on the temperature and perhaps in late October or early November turn the cool air off. About Thanksgiving, the temperatures will be low enough to turn the heat on.

Autumnal Equinox 2009
Fidál (Grace), 15 ‘Izzat (Might), 166 BE – Tuesday, September 22, 2009 about 5:52 AM Pacific Time
Today the sun cross the celestial equator at 5:18 PM EDT, which is 2:18 PM PDT. After the sun crosses the equator it begins to move southwest (at least in the northern hemisphere). On the first day of autumn day and night is of equal length.
I miss autumn in Oklahoma. The change in season is somewhat more noticeable there then in Las Vegas. The leaves on the trees change colors earlier in Oklahoma then they do here. I'm looking forward to my next-door neighbor's Oak tree changing colors, but that won't happen until late November or early December.

I have a choice of DSL speeds
Kamál (Perfection), 14 ‘Izzat (Might), 166 BE – Monday, September 21, 2009 about 12:49 PM Pacific Time
I have to decided on the DSL speed I want. The choice is between 512 Kbps/128 Kbps and 1.5 Mbps/384 Kbps. Once I decide which one I want, I'll e-mail my Internet service provider's techs. The costs of both speeds are within my budget, I just don't know which one to go with today. I'll have to decide by Wednesday, September 23, because that's the deadline I've set for this decision.
Perhaps I'm putting more effort into this decision then necessary. I just don't know which speed would be best for me at this time. The more I look at my options the better 1.5 Mbps/384 Kbps looks to me. My gut instinct says that's the one I should go with. When I listen to my woman's intuition, I make the right choices and when I don't listen I regret it.
I'm going to say some prayers about this decision today and tomorrow. On Wednesday, morning I will e-mail the techs with my decision. Even when my gut tells me to do something, I like to pray about it because it doesn't hurt to have a second opinion.

Sunday morning beauty
Jamál (Beauty), 13 ‘Izzat (Might), 166 BE – Sunday, September 20, 2009 about 6:10 AM Pacific Time
Sunday morning dawn
beautiful flower of a new day
Las Vegas wakes up.
I look out my living room window and watch the sky change from deep black to light blue-grey. A new week begins as summer ends. This morning the slow transformation from first light to dawn reminds me of a flower blooming.

My Grandmother liked the heels of bread
Jalál (Glory), 12 ‘Izzat (Might), 166 BE – Saturday, September 19, 2009 about 8:26 AM Pacific Time
My grandmother liked to eat the heels of the bread, so when we opened a new loaf we would pick begin with the slice behind the heel and live the end piece (the heel) for Grandma to eat. We did it this way and this is a habit I still practice, which explains why I find bread packages in the fridge with just the heels and nothing else.
I opened a new loaf of bread yesterday. I took the second slice of bread without thinking about what I was doing. This morning I took two more slices of bread and noticed what I was doing. As usual, I went past the heel and took the next slice. I stopped, took the end slice and made a peanut butter sandwich.
This incident started me thinking. There are many things I do without thinking because that's the way I've always did them. It's difficult to break old habits, however, there is no reason to continue doing something because that's the way I've always did it or that's the way I learned to do it as a child. The process of transformation requires change.

Looking forward to a sleepless night
Istiqlál (Independence), 11 ‘Izzat (Might), 166 BE – Thursday, September 17, 2009 about 10:38 PM Pacific Time
I'm not sure whether I'm going to write, do housework, say prayer, read, or a combination there of. The only thing I am sure about is sleeplessness. I'm not tired. My eyes don't want to sleep. My mind doesn't want me to sleep. Therefore, I'm going to stay up most of the night. There are times when it's better to accept the idea of sleeplessness then to go to bed. Tonight I'm accepting the fact I'm not going to get any sleep no matter how hard I try.

On Monday Evening I miss the stars
Fidál (Grace), 8 ‘Izzat (Might), 166 BE – Monday, September 14, 2009 about 7:08 PM Pacific Time
It's Monday evening, I sit at my computer glancing out my living room window at random intervals. The sky blushes pink, which indicates that the sun is below the western mountains. It will soon be completely dark in Las Vegas and Clark County Nevada or as dark as it ever gets in a city the size of Las Vegas.
Sometimes when I go out after dark, I can look directly overhead and see a few stars. This is on clear nights when there are no clouds. Normally I go out and check my car doors before night fall, but I'm going to wait until it gets a little darker to check them tonight. Tonight I'm waiting until dark because I want to look up into the night sky and see a few stars.
It's been a long time since I saw more then a few stars at night. I haven't seen the only two constellations I can identify in a couple of years. The only constellations I can identify are the big dipper and the little dipper and in order to see them it has to get a lot darker then it does in Las Vegas. To see constellations I have to go out side the city.
I miss the stars. I miss being able to go out my front door, looking up into the night sky and seeing hundreds of stars twinkling.

The Pets I have known
Jamál (Beauty), 6 ‘Izzat (Might), 166 BE – Sunday, September 13, 2009 about 9:33 AM Pacific Time
I've had a personal relationship with numerous pets during my 62 years. The pets I'm most familiar with are dogs, cats, and birds. When I was growing up in Blackwell, Oklahoma, we had a reddish-blond Cocker spaniel called Patsy, a black Cocker spaniel (Patsy's son) called Skizicks, and a black ans white cat called Mittens. Later my grandmother found a Siamese cat call Jay and she had a Parakeet called Pete.
Through the years, I've had other cats and dogs in my life. In Shawnee, Oklahoma, there was a little dog, called Peanuts and a mixed breed called Bonnie. In Las Vegas, Nevada, there was a Springer spaniel call Specks and numerous cats. All these pets gave me unconditional love and acceptance, in addition the taught me responsibility and caring for other creatures in the universe.

Saturday is good.
On normal mornings, it takes me several prayers and large mugs of coffee for me to see the beauty of a new day. This morning I wake up happy and let grumpy sleep. I prefer to wake up happy because it begins the day joyous and positive.

I used to enjoy doing surveys
‘Idál (Justice), 2 ‘Izzat (Might), 166 BE – Wednesday, September 9, 2009 about 6:42 PM Pacific Time
I realized today why I don't enjoy doing surveys anymore. It isn't that the surveys are less fun or interesting. I the problem is my Internet connection. My connection is slow and it slows down about 9:00 or 10:00 AM. Because the connection is slow the surveys take a long time to load and to complete.
I'm taking care of that problem. I'm going DSL, now all I have to do is decide the speed of the modem. I have a choice of three speeds at three different prices. The least expensive of those will double the Internet connection fee. It's affordable, but with a sacrifice. I'm not sure just yet what to give up. I have a choice of giving up bottle water or soda.
All right, the soda would be best to give up because water is better for a person. That doesn't mean I'm going to give up the soda rather then the bottled water. I've tried giving up the bottled water and I don't drink as much water if I get it from the tap. I have until the fourth Wednesday, when my check comes in to decide.

The first day of Might
Fidál (Grace), 1 ‘Izzat (Might), 166 BE – Tuesday, September 8, 2009 about 9:30 AM Pacific Time
It's the first day of Might, the first day of 'Izzat. We, my other and I, attended the Feast of 'Izzat (Might) last night. We enjoyed the Feast; we always enjoy the nineteen-day Feast. There were three announcements of upcoming events, so I have three items to add to my planning calendar this morning.
Because I over slept this morning, I got a late start. I'm not sure how much of my "To Do List" I'm going to achieve today. I'm going to have to redo some of the items for 'Izzat anyway. Another thing I'm going to do is calculate interruptions into my writing and housekeeping time.
I'm going to schedule writing sessions for five or ten minutes at a time. If my memory is working correctly, I can write only about five minutes without encountering an interruption of some type. The same thing goes with housekeeping chores. Therefore, if I schedule a job with the interruptions included then I might be able to get something accomplished.

Monday is Labor Day
Monday is Labor Day. Summer is over. The full equinox may not be here, but summer is over. Children are going back to school. Stores are having Labor Day sales. I'm thankful that the next power bill, which is due October 6, is under $300.00.
Summer is over
the neighbor's dog is barking
good-bye to hot days.
I did a load of laundry this morning and the neighbor's dog barked. I think he barked at me, but I'm not sure. He could have been barking at a bird or another neighbor's cat. There is a fence between my backyard and the neighbor's, so I could see what the dog was barking at.
Bird song echoing
sweet melody of summer
autumn approaches.

Heartburn in Las Vegas
Jamál (Beauty), 18 Asmá’ (Names), 166 BE – Saturday, September 5, 2009 about 9:09 PM Pacific Time
I have a bit of heartburn tonight, I'm not sure why. I don't think it's anything I eat, but it could be. Heartburn isn't normal for me, therefore, I don't have anything in the house to take care of it. I'll try some milk and Dr. Pepper before I go to bed. I'm not going to the store this time of night to buy something.
Tomorrow, when I go to Food 4 Less or CVS, I'll get something to keep on hand. Of course, once I have the remedy in the house, I won't have heartburn again for a year or two. If I have heartburn again in 2009, then I'll talk to my doctor about it. If I get it more then once a year then there may be a problem. Otherwise, I'm not going to worry about it.

It looks like sunset
Istijlál (Majesty), 15 Asmá’ (Names), 166 BE – Thursday, September 3, 2009 about 1:34 PM Pacific Time
It's only about 1:30 PM here in Las Vegas and it looks like sunset. The clouds have gathered, they cover the entire sky. I did laundry this morning, I brought the cloths into the house about 12:30 and they were dry. It's a good thing I didn't plan to do any more laundry today.
I don't know if it's going to rain or not. We don't have a T.V. that works, so I haven't look at the news in a while. I do get a daily paper, but normally I don't read the weather for cast. I also get weather information in one of my e-mail boxes, but I haven't read that either.
It doesn't matter to me whether it rains today or not. I'm home and I have no intention of going anywhere until tomorrow. I went to the store yesterday and bought several items. I bought a case of water, two twelve packs of Dr. Pepper, a large can of coffee and a large container of chocolate ice cream. I have meat in the freezer and potatoes in the fridge.
Most of the bills I can pay online, so I really don't need to get out of the house for anything. I have enough laundry detergent and fabric softener to last me a few days. The cats have enough dry food for two or three days. In addition, we don't have to get any of our meds refilled until Saturday or Sunday. There just isn't any reason to get out of the house today.

Most of the bills I can pay online, so I really don't need to get out of the house for anything. I have enough laundry detergent and fabric softener to last me a few days. The cats have enough dry food for two or three days. In addition, we don't have to get any of our meds refilled until Saturday or Sunday. There just isn't any reason to get out of the house today.
