To nap or not to nap?

When my mind is too preoccupied with happy thoughts, I find it difficult to have even few winks. But I know that my aged & sick body needs it. Now, how to entice myself from having a nap? Maybe I need to have some drama to drive these happy thoughts to forgetlandia. Maybe a pinch on this arm could start the trick. Just thinking.

Thank you. That's our dear La Labs (the cat), underneath our Christmas tree, my dearest Manay. BTW, you have difficulty in sleeping? Oh! Please try a glass of warm water, before you lie down in bed, my dearest Manay. It worked miracles to me when I used to have that concern too. Re, nap this PM. I will have it after I post this answer to your discussion po. See yah later. Lab yah!

@crazyhorseladycx Oh, my dearest Manay! How I wished you to have relief on the simple home remedy I use. Am also into a glass of warm water with a tbsp each of apple cider vinegar & pure honey. It's doing me good too, esp when this gouty thing attacks! BTW, I just woke up from a peaceful power nap po.

Is that your pet in the pic? So cuuuute! It makes me smile and forget about the bad news I got. Ah life. I should sleep now but I'm still awake, not because I'm happy like you. Wish I could be right now but I'll just sleep this off. Maybe you should take that nap too when you feel like it.

Yes, my dear. His name is La Labs. He prefers to sleep underneath our Christmas tree. When he is awake, he starts playing with its decors. In fact, he threw a lot of the lower balls & broke them. We just can't be mad at him. We just bought replacements. Ha! Ha! Ha! Re, a bad news which you've got. I hope it's nothing serious, ok? Oh, yes. I always take a nap, no matter how short, because my Docs said my body needs it to re-energize (just like a battery, I suppose).

Happy thoughts keeping you awake is quite natural. May be you will dwell over them again and again and enjoy the experience. I sometimes wonder whether that is better than sleeping

Both do me good, my dear. And if I'd not listen to my Docs, I'll just remain awake & savor the joy of my happy thoughts!

Yes, my dear Anna. That is our La Labs. Of all places in our house, he likes sleeping underneath our Christmas tree. Ha! Ha! Ha! Re, not having a nap during the day. You are one strong person, my dear!
