A Nap...the pause that refreshes

United States
August 7, 2018 3:10pm CST
After a terrible nights sleep I dragged myself through the morning. Coffee was only 50% effective so after lunch I took the dogs out and we all took a nice long nap. It was just what I needed and now I'm feeling much better. I'm having a nice glass of iced tea and a little disappointed that it's too hot to sit outside. At least we haven't had any storms and I'm hoping my daughter gets home from work without any trouble. We have some fresh corn on the cob which I want to cook on the barbecue along with some burgers. Easy dinner once again. How was your day?

It's still early afternoon here and moseying along in quiet hot fashion.

We had some delicious corn on the cob a week ago. I love it when corn is in season!! I have a 20-30 minute nap every day since my concussion. I have to or else I cannot make it thru the day. Today it was from 12:20 until 12:45 that I napped. And I actually fall asleep during that time. I look forward to the day that I won't need a nap unless I've done something that has really tired me out.

It's good that you're resting every day to recover from your concussion. I don't nap every day but today it was really needed.

Kind of boring..my company wanted me to re do one of my mystery shops, I opted not to though. I need to conserve cash for my trip..and it wasn't close by. I went to a meeting tonight. I was a few minutes late..but it was in full swing by the time I got there with a full house!

Nothing like a little nap- and I too have some terrible sleeps sometimes. They say a nap is so good for you and if feels marvellous!

Good that you had a long nap. Sometimes it's just what our body needs.

I'm glad your nap helped you feel better. =) I spent part of the day in the hospital.

It's hot here too. We spent the afternoon watering the garden and packing boxes! Just two weeks to go. I think that we are going to have to get some corn though... kind of a little treat for the summer we have given up!

I might end up taking a nap at some point today since I didn't sleep well last night.

My days are being hectic these days because our pet dog is being very naughty.

I had a good day today. I really didn't get any sleep last night but I didn't feel bothered too much during the day. The twins Speech Therapist came over at 10 this morning. I had to drag them out of bed but it all worked out. I made a nice chicken casserole for supper and there is enough left over so that I don't have to cook tomorrow night. I did quite a bit of work online today. I worked on the ABC's with the twins while I was cooking. Keith got home early from work and we had a nice evening. It was hot as all blazes today. We ended up missing Lil Keith's football practice because Keith did not want to go sit out in the hot blazing sun and because for some reason my face gets a horrible rash on it when I am in the sun these days and it hurts really badly. It is almost midnight and I am pecking away here on myLot and enjoying my time. I need to get to bed soon but I doubt I will.

AT least, you get to have a long nap and a walk with the dog before that. Here, it was sunny, then it became a bit gloomy. But I am just inside our office at the second floor. The heavy curtains on my back were opened by me to always catch a glimpse of how is the weather outside is. In less than 2 hours we will have our dismissal. I will go straight to the restaurant owned by a high school batchmate where some of us batchmates will have dinner as invited by a batchmate from Australia.

The day was reasonably cool, so I decided to cook yesterday evening, Moroccan meatballs (koftas) with spiced garbanzo beans and Tzatziki (cold yogurt and cucumber sauce).

We still have afternoon here and it is too hot. I think I will take a nap now as my eyes are aching.
