Self Medicating

Here in Kuwait you can go to the pharmacy directly and tell them what is wrong, and they give you drugs. Through some recommendations from friends I have some very good stuff. I woke up this morning with a stiff neck. I have a back neck, losing the curve in it. So when I was giving myself a pedicure, it strained my neck looking forward and down for so long. And I have cramps, my period started. So I went to the bathroom and rubbed Fastum gel on my neck, shoulders, forehead, belly, and lower back. It's an anti-inflammatory. And now I am about to drink a glass with a dispersible tablet of Rofenac-D, another anti-inflammatory, analgesic. In about 10 to 15 minutes I should feel like the birds are singing and everything is right with the world.

a High Maintenance evening

I gave myself a pedicure and buffed my nails to high shine with a Sephora professional nail buffer. I highly recommend it for a natural shine. No polish required, so no nail polish to chip and look bad. Maintenance should be efficient and productive. Unlike nail polish which require too much time and attention for a limited time return. I talked to my Mom to tell her I was ok since I hadn't called in a while. I had some nutello by the spoonful. I don't know if they have nutello in the states - it's like chocolate icing and hazelnut spread. Yummm! And then I chatted on-line with 2 friends. One in the states and one in Iraq. And now I am listening to Prince's Sexy M.F. on my playlist. Yes I am.

overdue posting

Oh wow, I can't believe it's a month since I posted. I still have not recieved my civil ID which I need to buy a post paid phone plan that would include internet on my phone. Therefore I have not been able to post on the go. I am really frustrated not having my ID or my driver's license. After 5 months it's getting really old. I have lots to write about.
In brief - I broke up with my boyfriend, I was moved to a better job, I have a cool new boss and coworkers, I am moving soon to a nicer apartment, and I am working on a project to get a job in an awesome country that has nothing to do with the Middle East. Some things are still the same - the weather is weird, it's hot during the day, too many people here are retarded, my roommate is crazy, the uniform irritates me, the call to pray goes off at all hours and wakes me up, ...
to top it all off, the laundry service in the buidling talked to the building owner and the delivery laundry service is no longer allowed in the building. I finally found a service that I liked, that picked up and delivered, and now they are banned from entering the buidling. I had to carry my laundry down stairs, well, down the elevator. Where's the freedom of market? Consumer's choice? Oh right, this isn't a democracy.
I have a hair appointment tomorrow morning. Then I'll be back to update you all on my coming and goings of High Maintenance.
