No rest
Why does it always seem that I am so tired - to the point of physical illness- the day back to work after a long weekend? This really does not make any sense!
Ramadan is drawing to a close. Insha’Allah (Godwilling) Eid will be either Friday or Saturday. I am planning on going to a party (for muslim women). I am trying to decide how “dressed up” I should be. Eid is a holiday that calls for much merriment and fun. I am excited to be “going out”. Normally we just do a family activity that’s usually more geared for the children. My hubby will have to plan the kid festivities for once:)
Oh…I am too excited. I made Jamaican peas and rice for the masjid this evening for when we break our fast and eat. Families sign up to take turns cooking. I made that, salmon cakes and cabbage w/ smoked turkey. This was my first time with the peas and rice….I’ll let you know how they turned out.
I took the recipe off the internet but when I went to store, there was a West Indian guy in the produce section buying peppers and he overhead me asking my step-daughter about the peas and rice recipe on my cellphone. He told me to forget the recipe and told me the “real” recipe. I’m from Spanish Harlem so I can do spanish beans and rice but…we’ll see.
Sorry I missed it Safa! How was the peas and rice? I know you cabbage was good!
You’re not alone in always being tired. I’ve thought that maybe I need to: 1) change my diet; 2) take vitamins; 3) exercise; 4) get more sleep; or 5) all of the above! UGH! I too have the same dilemma of not knowing what to wear. But we’re going shopping today and tomorrow, so I’ll let you know. Talk to you later, in sha’ Allah!
Ma Salaama! Love you!
