Noi and I observed the fast ahead of Eid al Adha today; in fact, Noi also fasted yesterday. She made no fuss about it all, of course, while I battled through the afternoon nursing a splitting headache whilst falling asleep at the same time. I was not a pretty sight but, fortunately, I was able to get away from work reasonably early to keep it all private.
I didn't quite expect the day to feel as rigorous as it has done, but in its way it's been a tellingly useful experience. If nothing else it functioned as a reminder of the extremes other folks face on a daily basis without whining about it. I must confess, I whined quite a bit, but for the most part just to myself.
