Going back to sleep

My first full week at school has left me exhausted, plus the better weather is very soothing. I feel a bit dehydrated, so I am drinking some gatorade 0 sugar and I am going to take a morning nap. This is my day off, and I will just catch up on household things today. No excitement, other than the little bit of rain. I will be back later. I appreciate naps more and more as I get older.

The closer I got to retiring from teaching, the more often I needed an afternoon nap when I got home from school. I hope your school year goes well.

Nothing better than a nap on off days. I am in habit of taking a power nap in the afternoon on weekdays. And a bit longer nap on weekends and holidays.. Naps work wonders

I like short ones rather than long.

Pretty asked me to thaw enough ground beef to make Yum-a-setta this afternoon. We haven't had that since last Winter... YUM! I woke up a little bit ago and am eating some fried chicken and mashed potatoes and drinking grapefruit juice. It rained here around 6 am for about an hour. It's 1:30 pm and 85F. I hope you're enjoying your day.

I have to either ask or look it up. I do not know what Yum-a-setta is.

@GardenGerty Yum-a-setta is a casserole. browned ground beef with diced tomatoes, then cheese and flavored noodles with another layer of cheese baked at 350F for half an hour. It's really good.

You deserve a nap. The older I get the less sleep I get. Weird. Enjoy your Sunday.

I get good sleep at night most nights, but a nap does feel good.

@GardenGerty Naps are the best! I miss them. I used to make the bed really nice; and then I would put my big puffy quilt on the bed, get underneath it and take a 2-hour nap. Felt so good!

I hope you have a quality nap! I’ve been grabbing ten minute naps this past week, and it is unusual for me to nap at all. Hopefully, your nap is a lot longer than that.

35 minutes is just about perfect.

There’s a meme on Facebook that says something about the “punishment” as a child of being sent to bed sounds like a reward in adulthood. Enjoy your nap.

Stay home, take a nap, something to that effect. Punishment then, refreshment now.
