Nothing. A whole lot of nothing! I don't mind really. It's just too bloody hot to step foot out of my door, so I haven't done much of anything. Abu Dhabi has literally been 100+ degrees F on most days, with what feels like 100% humidity. I. Can't. Go. Out. There.....
Ramadan is here, and I've been fasting... And let me just tell you. I'm Muslim but I've never done it before. The first couple of days are the hardest, quite miserable for me really. I just really, really, wanted to drink some water. My throat was like a talcum factory, and my lips were absolutely parched. It was just too much for me. I usually drink like 900 glasses of water a day, and the first 3 days of fasting were very difficult. I made it through however, and it does in fact get easier. The fourth day I could just feel myself leaning into the fast, and accepting it, frustrations yielding. Today on the fifth day, I am lying as still as I can on my couch as I write this. I think if I keep my mind busy, I feel less worried about my physical state.
I can't even get through this post. I'll finish it up later!
