8 minutes

I've been awake for 8 minutes and I'm already thirsty.

I found out a couple of years ago that I sleep with my mouth open. Because of this, I wake up with a really dry mouth and throat in the morning, and occasionally throughout the night. Around this same time, I discovered that I should keep a bottle of water/Powerade next to my bed, so when I wake up I can drink it down and rehydrate myself. I forgot to remove that bottle last night.

It's taunting me.

The good news is that because I was so anxious about fasting, I actually dreamed I was fasting, so when I woke up it was on my mind and didn't start off Ramadan by breaking it. That made me feel good.
