I felt like shit this morning. I slept from 9:30 am to 7 pm and laid in bed dreaming for an hour or so before I got up. I was a little dehydrated from not drinking water for so long. I ordered delivery for dinner, ate, and did a little computer work. It's hard being quiet but awake and lively when there are 2 people sleeping in the apartment. By 1:30 am I was tired again and went back to sleep. I had the worst headached when I woke up this morning at 6 am. I ate cereal and dranks some tea and water. I felt better for a few minutes and continued to drink water. But then I started feeling like I was going to throw up. And the 2 aceteminiphin.... weren't working either. My mood wasn't helping either. My brain hurt. Everything sucked. I'm so dehydrated from sleeping too much. I need sleep. I need water. This whole place sucks. My bad crazy roommate is home today for some reason. Again, her very existance puts me into tense state. She's cooking and it stinks. She doesn't use the exhaust fan. My maids were here yesterday and the place was spotless. Now there are crumbs everywhere. She's grating on my nerves. I drank a glass of water with apple cider vinegar fast and took a hot shower. The headache began to ease up. Afterwards I rubbed jojoba oil all over my body. My skin is starting to look better, the red dots are gone, the trench foot is clearing up, and my nails are starting to grow again. Thank goodness I am in the office. Now I'm feeling better. So I am eating dessert - Egyptian Kilo which is another version of baklahva - walnuts, honey, crunchy pastry. delicious.
I almost booked another massage today at the Hilton Spa. I've decided to wait until next weekend (payday) and sign up for a 3 month membership - $500. I get 5 massages, unlimited access to the aqua medic pool, sauna, steam, ice room, and Turkish bath. I also get 4 free passes for a friend. So I can get a massage every 2 or 3 weeks and use the Turkish bath and sauna on the other weekends. Then enjoy the private beach, have lunch in one of the 5 restaurants, and then finally come home. If I get a boyfriend he can use the free passes and we can enjoy the day at the beach and fine dining.
I'm waiting because I am enjoying having money in my account for a change! lol. And I need to work on 2 resumes today, go to the grocery store, and finish my laundry. i also like having enough money to pay for a plane ride home. Just in case something happens here and I need to get out fast. If something happens and I loose my job, I have to pay for a plane ride home. If I should break a Kuwaiti law of even the simpliest type, if there is potential jail time, I need to get the next flight out before they put a travel ban on my passport. Unfortunately my passport is still being at processing waiting for my residency card. They say you can get it back in 24 hours if something happens. This might sound like I am being paranoid but when you live in a foreign country and are subject to their laws, not all of which you know, then you have to be ready. And people do leave in the middle of night. I have already seen it happen. Chicken or beef? referring to the meal selection on the plane. Hit a camel - chicken or beef? Offend His Royal Highness the Amir - chicken or beef? Get in a car accident with a Kuwaiti citizen - chicken or beef?
If you hit a camel, you have to pay for that camel and 3 generations of camels. it's something like $90,000. If you get into a car accident with a Kuwaiti, you are at fault. Pay for it all. It costs $100 just to get a police report. You need the police report to get your car fixed. They won't touch it without the report. It's so bad that the major rental companies won't rent to people who work for my company because too many of us have gone chicken or beef on them and left the rental company with a wrecked car.
ok, the sugar is kicking in. I need to get ready to go to the store before it gets too late in the day. For me, this morning, it was almost chicken or beef or vegetarian... but I think I can hang in here...
