Today was a good day. My appetite is starting to return. I touched base with some of my creative soulmates and we’re still on good terms. I had lunch with my Office mates and got the necessary teasing. I answered some questions about Islam and Ramadan and what the past month has been like for […]
Deep breaths. That was my initial reaction when it occurred to me how much Arabic I have forgotten over the years.
