La retourne
HANANE IS BACK!! She is beautiful and glowing and healthy and I have no idea why she had to stick around the hospital for such a long while. Baby is beautiful and will remain unnamed until the special fête de bébé, which I would imagine will be happening this weekend now that everybody's home.
I kept having stomach aches, so I got "doctor's orders" that any and all meats were to be avoided for the rest of my stay here in Morocco. Thus I am now fully vegetarian and my belly is so much happier. Mother acts like it's a real scandal but she will have to deal.
It's really cold here. People are back into their full winter gear. The sun keeps not being out during the weekend, putting a serious damper into efforts to go out into the city and see things. I just went out with the ladies to a (very long) hanuut run to get snacks. We go back and forth among the same half dozen places for things like yogurt, cookies, ghaifa (Moroccan pancake) with honey, apricots, dates, cheese, cokes, Hawai (carbonated pineapple juice), and bread, of course.
The funeral is finally over and done with. The house was filled with people and couscous for three days solid and the party never stopped before 1am. I have not slept too well because of the guests, the babies, the 3am phone calls, and the breaking of glass.
BT dubs, pistachio yogurt is one of the most delicious foodstuffs ever gifted to mankind.

Hey! Take pictures of your house and room and more of your family and stuff if you're allowed to. And the bathroom and kitchen and everything. I want a nice, detailed picture of where you've been this whole time in my head. You're so friggin cute!! I also have some bad news, kind of. I registered for classes this week and my fall semester starts August 24. I don't know if you still want to be here for that extra week or not, with me at school and all. You could come with me. Or stay and sleep or whatever. I just wanted to let you know. I love you with a passion!!!!!
PS. I made lamb today, and will make a ham tomorrow for Easter. I couldn't decide which of the two I wanted, so we're doing both! Yummm!! Yay, Easter!! Yay Jesus!!
"mother acts like it's a scandal but she'll just have to deal"
