January 2010 Departure

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful...

Assalamu Alaikum...

On the 1st of January 2010, Friday there was an electricity outage. I cleaned one side of the oven partially on that day, and I changed the gas canister for the gas heater on that day. I took a shower and shampoo on the 2nd of January.

I shaved some for the first time with a shaving device on that day. That day was the first anniversary for Al-Darb Diya. There was an electricity outage on the 3rd of January 2010, Sunday. I bought a new calendar for 2010 on that day.

I visited a friend of mine on that day. That day there was a family outing to Mecca Mall with me, my brother and my mom going there. It was the first time had been in Mecca Mall ever.

I prayed Qiyam Lail during the early morning for the first time in 2010 before the dawn prayer, on the 4th of January 2010. Two friends visited the home on that day. I got a new green blanket for my bed on that day.

My father called my brother on that day, because my father tried calling me but my cellular was in my bedroom and I was here in the living room, so I didn't hear it. On the 5th of January 2010, Tuesday I took out the garbage.

The garbage included an old blanket of mine. Since I had a new blanket, there was no need for the old one. I retrieved money from the bank on that day, and I took a shower and shampoo on that day. We had a family visit to some relatives on that day.

I clipped my finger nails and some of my toe nails on the 6th of January. The 7th of January 2010, Thursday was a long day for me, my brother and my mom. The three of us went on a family outing to my mom's dental appointment.

A new appointment was made for her and myself on that day. I dealt with getting a new Jordanian passport to a large degree on the 7th of January. Getting a new one isn't over yet. My brother and a friend helped me reach to the process I'm at now.

I visited a few friends of mine on that day, and I cleared up some books in the guest room. I observed some workers dealing with putting down a new carpet in the hallway on that day. I put up the new clotheslines and dealt with it on that day.

My mom changed the location of the land phone on that day. I took a shower and took out the garbage on the 8th of January. As for yesterday, which was the 9th of January 2010, Saturday, it was a long day.

I stayed awake throughout the night because it was early that morning my brother would be leaving Jordan back to the U.S. I played with my brother on the Playstation during the early morning before the dawn prayer yesterday.

My brother departed Jordan during the early morning of that day. I went with some friends who took him to the airport to see him off. Once we saw my brother off, my friends and I went back to my friends' family car.

The car key was inside, and we were locked outside the car. It took some effort but with help from some others we were able to eventually get into the car and leave the airport. As for today, the 10th of January 2010, Sunday, I took out the garbage.

I exchanged two empty gas canister with two full ones this morning. I had an outing to pay the telephone bill and later on afterward I retrieved some clothes for my mom from a tailor's shop.

This post is titled what it is because my brother went back to the U.S. during this month. As soon as I came back home yesterday from seeing my brother off in the airport, I slept for some time, and I eventually woke up close to the noon prayer.

It wasn't a comfortable sleep, but that was dealt with when I slept last night. I slept like a baby alhamdullah, getting the sleep I need during the right time. Take care, and assalamu alaikum...
