Ten things I think about you!

My friend Suroor (whom I have known for a little more than a month, via blogging, and have never met in person or spoken to) sent me an analysis of myself…

Shazia –

1) Do you like white? I think you’d prefer white fabric over colours.

2) You sometimes fuss over tidiness and you love delicate and intricate patterns and designs.

3) I think you don’t like to wear heavy jewelry or dangling earrings.

4) I think you are somewhere between 5 feet and 5’ 4” tall and are not yet thirty.

5) You seem to get hurt easily but you don’t like to show it. Do you try to suppress your anger? I also have the feeling that you cry easily and don’t mind crying in the presence of people you love.

6) I don’t think you grow your nails; they seem short and clean.

7) I sense that you don’t like reading too much or let’s say you don’t care for it. Very long texts may bore you very soon. You may be very impatient sometimes.

8) I feel you are very honest and when you can’t be honest you prefer to be quiet. You don’t like confrontations (?). They make you unhappy and sometimes you would rather dig your head in the pillow and wish the bad times were all over.

9) You sincerely love those you love and you care a lot about them.

10) I think you leave things till the last minute and delay doing it until you must; is it true? I also think you are multi-tasking by nature.

Anyone want to guess which ones are true and which are false? Or take your own stab at the analysis?

Shazia Mistry, now working at home!

Yesterday I officially quit my job. I am not quite sure how I feel. I think a little depressed, a little unsure, a little happy, a little excited, a little concerned, mostly confused.

But, I certainly am looking forward to the opportunities ahead!

Goodbye Daddy

My dad, my stepmom, and my 2 sisters left us this morning to go back to their home. At the time that they left, I did feel sad, but I felt a lot of contentment and happiness, I was happy that my dad spent time with my kids and got to know them, I was happy to spend time with my sisters, and also for the opportunity to bond with my dad and stepmom. It was a great visit.

Tonight, I feel tired and depressed (t-pressed?), the house is gloomy, empty, and my middle child cannot sleep… he misses his aunties. Now I feel like crying, sobbing, now I just feel the loneliness in my heart. I miss the laughter, the chatter, the constant motion of having a lot of family, the love, the happiness, the peace.

But, my kids are back in their routines, and I can go back to putting my focus on them, and I am sure tomorrow I will feel better. And my dad and his family will be embarking on a new adventure of their own, as they move from Miami, back to our homeland of Trinidad, and I hope that God will make it easy for them, and let them find happiness and comfort in being around loved ones again.
