A Day of Fasting

I woke up around 11 am. I normally fast on Sundays, but since this Sunday is my birthday, I did it on Saturday instead. It was my second 36-hour fast, and it was easy to do. I did not feel any discomfort. I have been worried about my financial situation. I felt impatient and wanted to escape somewhere. I went to bed around 8 pm and read books. I heard my housemate talking on the phone, which made me feel sick and irritated. I wore earplugs that I got on an airplane. I was not able to fall asleep even after midnight.

A Fasting Day I woke up around 11 am. I normally have a day of fasting on Sunday but this Sunday is my birthday so I did it on Saturdaay instead. It was the second time 36 hours fasting but it was easy to do and I did not fell any painful things. I have been worried about my financial situation. I felt impatience and actually I want to escape somewhere. I went to bed around 8 pm and read books. I heard sharemate's phone call and it made me sick and irritated. I wore earplugs which I got when I took an airplane. I was not able to sleep even though over midnight.
