ECONOMIC DIARY GAME, Sunday 10 April 2022 - Buying Dates for Food needs for Breaking the Fast of Ramadan.

The turnaround time feels so fast, it doesn't feel like today, Sunday April 10, we have entered the second week of the fasting month, which means there are only 3 weeks left for us to be in this glorious month, to carry out fasting worship. These 3 weeks even though it looks like a long time, but it's not long, now time is running so fast, we haven't finished doing something, suddenly it's late, the days are changing imperceptibly, so we must really maximize the time we have to fill the month of Ramadan with all the deeds of worship that we have not done. Because time will not repeat itself, time will continue to run, lest we be left behind and even defeated by time.

After Sahur and Fajr I slept for a while, only about 1 hour, after that my wife took me to the Lhokseumawe City Reservoir for morning exercise, her legs started to hurt, she said, because she had not done morning exercise in the reservoir for 2 weeks. Actually I'm a bit lazy, because it's the fasting month. Indeed, we usually do morning walks around the Lhokseumawe reservoir on Sundays. Finally, my wife and I left for the Lhokseumawe City Reservoir even though it was already 07.30 AM, even though it was a little late but that's okay, so that the body felt a bit refreshed even though it was fasting.

Lhokseumawe City Reservoir is one of the tourist attractions, every Sunday and Saturday morning many people in Lhokseumawe City do sports here, there are morning walks around the reservoir, some also jog around this reservoir. The distance around this reservoir is about 3 km. The people of Lhokseumawe City really like to do sports in this reservoir because they exercise while enjoying the beautiful nature around this reservoir. In about 1 hour my wife and I had finished doing sports around the reservoir on foot, we deliberately didn't run, just walked leisurely, because this is the month of fasting. Even so the sweat on the body still comes out and the body feels good and fresh. After resting for a while by sitting on the bench beside the reservoir, around 09.30 AM we returned home. Arriving at home, after taking a shower because I was tired, I rested for a while in the living room while watching TV, finally falling asleep in front of the TV.

Towards the afternoon I went out of the house to buy Kumar fruit, because the supply of Kumar fruit had run out at home, as well as for me to buy more to take it to my mother's house. One of the shops that provide a variety of dates is the "Halalan Thoyyiban Herbal" shop. This shop is located on Jalan Darussalam, Lhokseumawe City intersection, located next to the Baiturrahman Mosque, Lhokseumawe City. In Aceh, dates are always sold before the month of Ramadan. This fruit has many health benefits and is very good to eat when breaking the fast.

Chickpeas, Black Seed Medicine are sold for Rp. 65,000/per bottle. This shop also provides olive oil, figs and others and sells a variety of honey, both local honey and honey from Arabia.

After I bought dates and Black Seed medicine then I immediately went home because it was time to break the fast soon.
