Too much.

It’s just too much to keep posting about every horrible thing going on in the world. I get it. The entire world is a mess. I just decided that the only way I think of the word “supreme” is not entirely about the Supreme Court but about pizza. I don’t like supreme pizza cuz it has toppings I either can’t have or don’t like. That pretty much sums up me trying not to throw up because of the recent announcement. Then there’s SARS. People dying. Muslim people dying all over the world whether it’s Nigeria or Pakistan or anywhere else. Then there’s covid. I can’t freaking breathe anymore so I have to write out my thoughts. I just saw a challenge on Facebook about loving the Prophet (pbuh) because of what just happened in France. It’s just too much. I wasn’t going to post anything, but for that I had to. I wanted to just focus on my recent hike, but in my world that’s not a possibility. I have to speak up when there is an injustice. My prophet told me to. It’s not enough to say thoughts and prayers. I’m already freaking out about elections next week. I don’t know who I can talk to about this anymore. I had to say something regarding France. I can’t sit back and say nothing when people are defaming my prophet. I feel sick. I posted a pic of the last time I was in Medina. The most peaceful place in the world. I’ll post it here too.

Spina Bifida Awareness Day Hike

So I know I haven’t blogged in a while, I gotta get on that. So I had quite the eventful weekend. I voted on Friday. Don’t worry I voted blue. How could I not? I’m female, Muslim, brown of immigrant background raised in the US and I have a physical disability.

Which brings me to what I did today. Today is Spina Bifida Awareness Day. All month it’s been Spina Bifida Awareness month & Disability Awareness month. For a few months now I’ve been training with my PT to go on a hike. I wasn’t even sure if I was going to be able to do this. I mean I threw up this morning. Anxiety at its finest. Anyway, it turned out pretty awesome. We walked about a mile and I used my trekking poles and my walker. My legs are sore, but I’m feeling accomplished. I keep thinking about like inspiration porn where people who don’t know people with disabilities and call them brave for like every little thing. This is different. This is definitely a big accomplishment in my book. The mile was both up hill and downhill. Now I want to be able to do more like be able to walk for umrah. I know that’s a big stretch, but I wanna do it. I’ll post a few of the pics here from today.

Crazy concoction

So when I get bored or creative I tend to cook. The latest was this cream cheese spinach chicken thing. I don’t really have an exact recipe I kinda just through stuff in a pan and fried it.

Chicken breasts or thighs

Cream cheese

Spinach

Green onions

Salsa

Salt & pepper

Roasted garlic and herb

Red pepper flakes

Montreal chicken

Lemon cuz I made it way too spicy. I wanted like a creamy chicken thing and I ended up with a sauce but it was still good. All I did was take all those Ingredients however much I wanted and threw them in a pan and fried it.
