Ramadan

I'm over it!

It has finally gotten unbearably hot here.  Since everyone is fasting the mood is low and no one is out during the days.  I am sweating myself to death!  The Ramadan drummer goes through the streets before 3 am.  If I had a bb gun I'd puncture that drum!!  But it's not like anyone is sleeping soundly anyway!  It's too hot to sleep and folks are out until all hours of the night since they aren't even eating dinner until 9 pm.  It's like they just switch their days and nights.  Seriously, whole families are out and about at 1 am!  The streets are noisy with folks and cars all night long!  It's a strange time around here.

I have tried to stay on top of our goodbyes.  I decided to be proactive and schedule times to see our friends.  If not, they'd all come around on Tuesday night before we move and want to hang out all night long.  I just can't handle that.  So, slowly but surely we've been meeting people, having folks over, etc. and saying goodbye.  It's exhausting!
