Today

I wore hijab to my son's doctors appointment today. That is a breakthrough for me because I am generally apprehensive about wearing hijab in front of people who knew me or are accustomed to me "pre-hijab". If I could live in a land of strangers I'd pick up hijab full time in a heartbeat. It's just this annoying fear of people's reactions that still holds me back a bit.

I'm getting braver day by day. Insha'Allah I keep moving forward with this!


**BTW, his doctor surely noticed, but didn't comment. The three times I've worn hijab in front of people I knew prior, this is what happened, as well. I can only imagine what might be going through their heads, but at least they don't verbalize any of their thoughts. (of course, if their thoughts were pro-hijab, it would be nice to hear them, lol)


I'm t-i-r-e-d. I hope they don't call me to sub tomorrow because I really need to get a marriage license. I also need to ship something I sold on half.com. I keep selling my possessions because I'm moving from a moderately large house to a two bedroom apartment. Since I've never moved before, I've had 22 years to accumulate a looooot of crap. The problem with selling it on the internet, though, is that things don't sell instantly, and in the meantime, you still have to store it all. *sigh* Once we finally have our yard sale (probably late July early August), whatever's not sold either through the sale or internet is getting boxed up for Goodwill.

I can't take clutter.


Ha. If you could see my room as I write this you would be dying laughing. I say I can't take clutter yet the floor in my room is not even visible. This is the work of my 25 year old slob of a sister. As I mentioned previously, she's getting married in October. I hope she cares for her new house better than she cares for our room!

Anyway, I'm rambling because I'm too tired to get up and do the dishes. Maybe just a short nap...
