I feel...happy...today. Like, in a good mood. The same things that sucked in my life yesterday still suck, but I feel ok about it today.
Must be the weather. Sunny, not as dusty, and cooler. Not autumnal precisely, but at least it's not 95 degrees out.
I'm also looking forward to our trip back to the states in December. OH my God. I'm way too excited about it. I'll try not to kiss the ground when I get there. Being away from one's home country for over two years is no joke. I hold the people that spend their lives away from their home countries in a kind of awe. The personal strength that they have is truly not something to be taken lightly. To say that it gives one 'character' is an understatement.
I composed a list of things to take back to Jordan with us, and it's a bit extensive. I hope my husband doesn't mind hitting all the after-Christmas sales. Poor man. It's going to be an avalanche of good ole' fashioned shopping madness. Never again will I search in vain for a sharpie!

I'm sorry it feels so upside down for you over there.. what's your plans for coming back to the states for good (or at least for a while?)
Currently we don't have any plans. The spouse is under contract with his work, and he can't even apply for a green card until that is over with. I guess we'll see. I'm hoping that Salam will attend middle school and up in the states. Here's to dreaming!
Yay! Good mood is often just a matter of having something to look forward to, isn't it? I am glad to hear that you have some days that are better, mashaAllah. I was worried about you.
So true. It makes everything seem less difficult. Please don't worry too much. Often, this blog is just my venting ground. After I get things off my chest, I often feel better and can go about my day in an improved state. I hope you are well!
