Do Not effingTell me it's #Insjallah #Inshallah or #InShaAllah regarding these Eartquakes. It's Mother Earth rummbling around.

I found out recently that I'm not physically capable of one key aspect of #Hajj, and that is unlikely to change.

But I'm also told that #Umrah during #Ramadan is a blessed journey, so I'm looking into that instead. Since I'm a newb, a friend has advised me to go with a group.

It's short notice and I can go only for four or five nights, while most group trips are at least seven nights. But we'll see what Allah SWT has in store.

#Islam #InshaAllah

Wondering what folks are up to for #NewYearsEve .

I don't celebrate this holiday, but I did have a #Soberversary yesterday (21 years!). It's nice to remember that, but do I do anything special? Not really.

Today's WORK: #Quranic recitation lesson, more coursework in #TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language), working on the monthly blog post I do for a Quranic learning platform.

Today's PLAY: checking in with a friend who just lived through a polar vortex in eastern PA, going for a walk along the #RíoGenil, birding, listening to one of my new or borrowed #Audiobooks (either Marylebone by Mick Herron or Silences So Deep by composer John Luther Adams). The latter was recommended recently by #ChrisLaTray , the #IrritableMétis himself, and I'm very psyched to dig in.

And I'll probably buy a #Bandcamp gift card for my son.

#InshaAllah
