I bought my first prayer rug today.  Actually that’s a lie.  It was given to me, if “given’s” a word anymore.  More or less they shoved it in my hands and handed me a white piece of paper that told me exactly how many times daily I had to lay it on the floor and face east.   The answer to that is five.   On the back was a description of this place called ‘Mecca’.  I have to learn everything I can about it by tomorrow at sundown or I’ll be punished somehow.  I haven’t been told exactly how but from I’ve been hearing, it’s pretty bad.  Even more so for us women.  So that’s it, blog diary.  I have to get busy.  More tomorrow.  Holly
