So the countdown is almost over, I am about to end my trip to the states within the next 3 days or so. This Thursday hopefully I will be touching down in Kuwait, and man am I not looking forward to the weather there, I heard that it’s hot and humid and dusty. I am glad that I managed to run away for the hottest 2 months of the summer though so thanks Dad for that.
Anyways, what did I do? I’ve been on a major rest-fest now that my sisters are away so I am trying to get as much sleep as possible to tide me over when I get home and go back to my hectic work schedule. And no I am totally not looking forward to going back to work.
Thursday, the 28th of August, after walking in the rain, it still rained a bit and so we decided not to do anything other than have lunch I believe it was at the deli nearby. But otherwise it was a stay at home day of relaxation.
Friday, the 29th of August, we went out to Beachwood Place Mall, and just shopped around, mostly walking around and wasting time while having lunch there. That was the whole point of the trip, to get out of the hotel and just get a change of scenary and it worked. I can say that it’s almost over now. No more shopping from now onwards.
Saturday, the 30th of August, Labor Day weekend is really a tough weekend, wanting to go out and shop is bugging me but I am standing strong and on that day I spent most of it asleep and the rest of it going out to the Chicago Deli for lunch. Of course with my luck they didn’t have the pasta that I wanted so I went with a burger. By now I am so sick of burgers and craving good ol’ fashioned rice. Hell I am craving grandma’s home cooked foods. I can’t wait to get back to have some of grammy’s delicious Tashreeba, Kousa, Grape Leaves, and all of the favorite foods that I love!
Sunday, the 31st of August, I woke up very late, well early but then I went back to sleep. The planes that are flying every few hours are getting annoying, it’s their way of celebrating Labor’s day and it sucks. I woke up starving and decided to go out to the Deli place to have some pasta but unfortunately they closed at 3pm and we got there 3:15-ish or so. And the nearby places are all closed. So nothing left except the pharmacy to grab some microwavable dinners and unfortunately the lasagna I eat is not available and nothing is quite appetizing there, so I ended up ordering from Pizza Hut which took an hour and half to arrive. But over all, it’s been a quiet day.
On the 3rd we will be checking out and leaving heading towards Kuwait. And by the 4th we will be home. I am missing my bed, my Lulu, my #4, my Grammy and family, and of course my car. But under no circumstances am I missing work. At least I’m going back to Ramadan timings so hopefully things will be less dramatic.
