60 Z and Sea Cookie moon is huge, orange tinged and near the horizon So peaceful This morning Tante Z demanded I accompany her to the beach I was feeling nauseous and came down the stairs in jeans "No no no el bahr PISCINE" I might throw up "You will regreeet. Okay you go change, I wait, okay go. Take this fruit, go." (She handed me a bowl of fruit) "Go, go, go. BRING BACK BOWL!" The sea was the prettiest it's ever been Yes you were riiiight Tantey thank yooou I could see my feet And a fishing boat? And teeny fish AND SO MANY JELLYFISH Blue ones O_O I started a whisper chain AZRA2 (blue) "It's blue" "The blue ones are worse" "What's blue mama?" "Never mind" "What is it?" "Anadeel" "You mean jellyfish?" Apparently some people just say the English word jellyfish with an Egyptian accent and don't know the word anadeel Arabic point for meee I bought too many beach snacks The grilled corn lady doesn't have a thousand children-- Z said they're all orphans she's taking care of I bought termes ...Lupini beans -- sounds like opera singing beans And coated peanuts and roasted seeds And then 3am Yosry showed up with Fresca (sweet flat circle wafers they sell at the beach, since at least the 50s) 3am means uncle 3 is the throw up letter 3am Yosry's been around since I was a teenager So I got an assortment-- they have Nutella ones now! Koreans call Nutella the devil's jam Koreans understand food Then I had pizza with Tante Then I ate my moussaka at home And now I want to throw up again Good day! Baba called from Cairo when I was at the beach, he's doing landscaping? He's very excited about it I think he discovered the joy of home renovation doing up the Sahel chalet and now he's on a roll Good for him --and maybe more trees for the birds! Oh, also, Ozzy sent some unhinged Andrew Tate shit/weird sexual stuff at 5 AM (not kink shaming, context shaming) so I released the kraken and blocked him Kraken= word wall I can't deal, I tried If I've learned anything these past few years it's that my energy is limited and precious |
