Ramadan Kareem
Fasting is so much easier this year because am not a chain smoker anymore. I had the caffeine withdrawal symptoms the first couple of days but they faded. I just make sure I have a cup of coffee for my suhoor and am fine.
In the past few years I would find it so difficult to be productive on Ramadan mornings. Now I see that most of that was actually nicotine withdrawal. I haven't stopped smoking completely. I had a couple of cigarettes after iftar on the first day. And I do smoke sheesha occasionally. But I am no longer a nicotine addict. I no longer need it everyday. I no longer need it, period. I might still have one because I want to - not because I have to. Which is cool.
At work, we will be having the annual Iftar banquet on Wednesday. A big event that. And an interesting one because most of the people I work with are not Muslim. The event is a PR thing and is mostly for the benefit of the clients. And they're usually great Iftars too. Really nice food. Quran before. Prayer after etc....You'd never believe it isn't organized by Muslims. It's kind of sweet actually how much effort they put into it. I really appreciate it.
Ramadan Kareem everyone!

Happy Ramadan, Lou. Glad to hear you are doing so good. As for smoking, it is indeed a cool thing not to be addicted to nicotine or the smoking social gesture. :)
Ramadan Kareem, kol sana wenty tayeba:) and K.
Happy that you get rid a bit from the smoking habity , and 3okbal when you quit it completely ISA.

I see everyone writing "Kol sana wenty tayyeba" which i dont know what does it mean, but i assume its a good thing u should say on Ramadan, so Kol sana wenty tayyeba, Loulou.
Its strange that ppl spell it different.
Happy Ramadan.
Happy Ramadan to you. I hope you enjoy the Iftar banquet.. and good for you on the smoking. I don't smoke really but I do like sheesha now and again.

Thanks everyone!
It's our second Ramadan as husband and wife. Last year, K and I had our katb ketab in Sept & Ramadan started in Oct. So technically we were married in Ramadan. But it is the first Ramadan we spend together under the same roof. Sounds like a good enough reason for him to get me a present right?
heheheh, walahy lo gablik hedya youb2a "al mafroud" zay ma bet2ouli :) amma ba2a lo magabsh 7aga youb2a tegebeelo inty benonasbet your marriage anniversary we te7regeeh:)

Allaho Akraam Ya Lou, Bass don't take so much time to write keda cause of Ramadan.
Hope you enjoy your time at the Iftar.
'Sounds like a good enough reason for him to get me a present right?'
i totally agree :)
Salam alaikum!
Since you are no longer addicted to smoking, I suggest you quit entirely! Islam forbids damaging our bodies (and the environment and other people) as there's no usefulness to smoking. Just felt I needed to say it.
I like your journal. I hope the insomnia goes away. Have a good Ramadan!
Your blog is Owsome. This is very nice and informative blog. Ramadan Dua Day 11
