Apart from a nasty headache on the first day, Ramadan has been kind
so far. I have tried to manage work, housework, cooking, worship and sleep as
best I can, with my special coffee time after I clear the kitchen and before
taraweeh prayer (accompanied by blogging time of course). Today, Day 9, seems
to have caught up with me a little. I got
to about 3pm and my brain turned to fog with nothing making much sense. I managed to get to four, get home and sleep
for an hour before iftar prep. Usually that
does the trick and I am good to go, but barely had I broken fast and prayed
Maghrib, that my body decided to do its own thing – sluggishly and in a slight
daze.
So I have left the great pile of unwashed dishes we seem to end up
with every evening, neatly piled by the sink.
I have got the girls to brush their teeth and let them sleep in their regular
clothes. I have my coffee, my airheaded
brain and my laptop and I am ignoring the older kids while they try to take
picture of me with the Snapchat app that turns you into a man.
I’m going to leave the dishes and ignore the kids. I’m going to finish
my coffee and then pray slowly. If I
pray a little less today, I’ll do it with the intention that I will allow my body
to recover so that I can pace myself better over the coming days insh’Allah
How do readers manage their heath and energy levels in Ramadan?
