Long Weekend

We had a long weekend with a holiday today to honour the Muslim celebration of Eid which marks the end of Ramadan. It was nice to sleep in (no Rufus the Rooster crowing every 3 1/2 minutes for some strange reason... I guess he was enjoying his holiday too! Usually, he begins his morning routine around 4:00am and continues on even throughout the day... and no, I'm not kidding. Oh, and did I mention that he resides in a neighboring backyard...nice and close to my window :) ). I enjoyed a leisurely day of cranking the worship music both in the house and my classroom as I spent time in both - cleaning, marking, eating, and planning for the week. And now I am soon on my way to a restaurant called Bourbon Cafe which slightly resembles Starbucks (also has a full menu for meals) for some good food.
