Okay. So it has been ages. But I got sick you know I had Bronchitis. I started coughing on March 31 which was a Friday. And I have no recollection of what I did that day. I know I went to work, and I think I came back early but that's about it. I think I stopped talking to Mirnoza that day. I mean nothing happened, I just wasn't sure where it was going and how much I should continue it. Like he stopped asking questions too. But he seemed nice enough. I hope to God I made the right decision. So let me think back to April 1. Which was a Saturday. I think abe had sent the group text that day. But before that I sent V a long very poetically written email- at like 7 something in the morning. It started off like a text and then I shifted it there. It felt good to write it even though I didn't know what the reaction would be. I probably also talked to Ami and cried because I hadn't made any progress on my paper. Then Abe made the group text and I called her again just to complain. Then I tried to do some work, and at 6 or so V texted me and asked if I was free and it was so nice because we had a talk and he said I was a good writer. These things give me life. And then he said it's funny bc the last time we spoke he had Thai and now he had Thai again. And I was like that was such a cute and deep thing to say. Then he talked about coffee (pretty randomly) and the cat came in and then Abe came home. So I said I to go. And Tabs Aunty had Called me in the middle of V calling me and so I called her back and she made curry and wanted to drop it off. And my Urdu was so choppy with her but I said thanks and asked kc if he could get it. But You see on the group text Abe said that we had to go to Ps house at 7. And it was 7:20 or so. And Abe was in his room and stared me down. And I was like did something happen? And it threw the look off. then he said we had to go. So i threw my black firaq on and went to their house. And I had no idea that two other families would be there. So it was good that I didn't go in my pjs. And there were some cute kids, the NYC family was moving to Detroit and the LI family had the cute kid who thought kc looked like a white blogger. Anyways I hung out with the kids and eventually we went home. There was haleem and Kabab kourma and nice carrot and caramel pudding dessert. I was coughing a lot so abe knew I was sick. This way, the next day, I missed the movie screening. And made dalia. And did some work and got some rest and then Monday I took off because I was sick and M didn't even respond to my email. And on Sun and Mon SB had asked me if I wanted to study but I was hacking up a storm with my cough so I said no. And there was food so I avoided the kitchen. Then Tuesday himmat karke I went to class and then left for my other class. And Wednesday I went to work and then Sumter came (and Kira reminded me of the conference). And then Thursday i went to class and missed Jc. And then got effes and was so sleepy bc I had been coughing all night. But I went to the DSC and sat on the 2nd floor and did work. That was the day Ames would be coming and I thought that if I went home, I'd just be super distracted. So I did my work as best as I could and went home around ten. When I was home, they hadn't come yet, so I did some more work. And then tried to sleep. But couldn't. I saw NN in the morning and hugged Ames like three times! Alhamdulilah. I was teary eyed when talking to n. It was good to see everyone. Then I worked that day at the office until 8 or so and came home. My bose headphones really came in handy. And I slept again without eating dinner just because my body was aching. Then Saturday I rested some more and spent some more time with the family and saw my suits. And today is Sunday and I expect the same.
