As usual I woke up at dawn and took my breakfast to fast at around 4am. I slept back after eating and woke up at 6:30am to prepare for work. I got to work early today due to no traffic.
Work was not how I expected it to be. Today was a bit busy because of the coming Eid celebration. I barely had time for my phone during working hours today sorry I can’t really display to you what I did today at work.
At around 4pm when we were balancing and rapping up to go home. It was declared that the crescent for the month of Shawwal 1444 was seen in Saudi Arabia today subsequently Friday, 21st April 2023 is the day of Eid Al Fitr. Even though the government had already declared Monday as a public holiday thinking that the Eid will be celebrated on Saturday. Who cares? What’s important and happy knowing is that I have from Friday to Monday as holidays. I will use them wisely to pay my sleep debts, that’s if my mom will allow me.
I still didn’t even have a dress to wear for Eid yet I was relaxed and happy because of the holidays.
We closed late today. I had to break my fast at work with just ordinary water from the dispenser. I got home around 7:30pm. When I got home, my mom called me and gave me two separate meats and said my uncle asked me to fry the meat for him. He is my mom’s immediate elder brother just that he’s still a bachelor. The other meat was for my grandmother too. She also wants me to do same. I had to steam and fry them separately. Hell of a work yeah?
After frying the meats, I went inside my room to look for a dress that will fit for Eid, I found one which I have never worn before. It was too big and long. I decided to send it to my seamstress house to make some alterations on the dress. Upon arrival, I met her preparing sobolo. Sobolo is a drink made from the flowers of the Roselle plant, a variety of Hibiscus. I decided to help her finish fast so she could be able to work on my dress.
