Naps and more...



I am not a person who takes naps.

I used to nap all the time in college and then when the girl was a baby but not so much now. I love the falling asleep part but hate the waking up part and Im usually crankier when I wake up than when I went to sleep. If Im going to take a nap I want it to be like a three hour nap...you know, take-your-contacts-out-get-in-pajamas-put-the-noise-machine-kind of nap.

Im getting old...napping messes with my nighttime sleep and then messes with my day.

But today I did fall asleep on the sofa. The girl was on the computer, E was reading the paper, the TV was on Singers and Standards and the fan was on....SIGHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

I went to that yummy dreamy place between almost awake and almost asleep. I didnt stay there long just enough to feel refreshed. Is this what they called a "powernap" in the late 80's.
Im not sure but it rejuvenated me enough to get up and go to the grocery.
