Happy Sparkly Friday

I just wanted to say that it should feel like a horrid Friday...normally everything starts breaking down and not working from now onwards. I think the analyzers enjoy Friday afternoons. I do wonder if the computers and robots we use have got more intelligent than they should. You can guarantee on a Friday afternoon when you think about going home, they start falling apart. Today I have decided to proclaim Fridays as Sparkly Fridays! In the hope that it doesnt have to be gloomy even though I peep out the window and its trying to rain! Not that I can promise to feel the same come Monday morning! So Happy Sparkly Friday everyone! I really do love this network, have been getting messages from some really beautiful people. I hope they know that. The kind of people youd love to meet up with and have a chat over some green tea. So I started uni on Tuesday, I have worked so hard to get there over the past several years. I am doing a degree in Biomedical Science. I am so happy about it, it has been a struggle, but would I want it if it hadnt been?! Can't say. But isnt it lovely when plans materialize. The reason Im doing it is kind of a stepping stone... Id obviously like to be a Biomedical Scientist, but the plan is deeper than that, Id like to find a way to bring conventional & complimentary medicines together, as I really feel that it would benefit the patient. And that afterall is the most important person in medicine...not trying to fill bed spaces or operating theatres or even if the consultant doesnt belive it would work....but whats to loose!? It was Eid the past few days, its what I refer to it as the sweet eid as traditionally thats when you have so much cake! But the kids have new clothes, toys and/or money. Everything has to be new...and it all comes from Uncle Eid! This is what muslem children look forward to twice a year can you imagine?! There will be another longer eid in a few months time. This is what I refer to as the meat eid! Where there is a lot of lamb! Some families get a lamb sacrificed as Abraham did. What some families do is keep some for them selves and distrubute the rest between communities and the less fortunate. Growing up this is not something I did in my family. But I witnessed it in Egypt (not the sacrifice itself though) I personally love both Eids, but havent really celebrated it in a long time. Well not openly anyway. I feel that my partner isnt keen. He is quite open on fews quite intune and spiritual though. But I find that somethings I need to keep quiet about. But hopefully in time things might change. The thing is I am not a raging muslem...Im not a raging anything...just trying to be me. But it feels like even just mentioning it you get funny looks. I feel that when I do speak about Islam that I like to give the positives about that idea (not calling it a beleif) The here and now Im just trying to explain things from the not so warped way of thinking. Its by explaining things that hopefully people understand. Its this online community that I admire that its ok to say things.

The thing with islam I find that its still a big part of who I am, I have tried to steer clear of it, but I cant help it. Maybe its because its been a big part of me its hard to wash it off.

I find myself doing things I didnt do before...such as eat pork! Which I do because my partner does and he doesnt like chicken (he has empathy) so I figured if I didnt change then when we go out or get food shopping then diet would be limited as he only has certain kinds of meat.

ANyways better run gotta get back to work.
