It's a beautiful sunny day, and all I want is a nap.

I just can't get motivated today.
And frankly, it's making me angry.
I've enjoyed some porch-sitting today, soaking up some sun. I've got plenty of work to do around here, I need to mow the grass, I have to buy groceries.

And all I want to do is take a nap. WTH?

(I've dozed, just typing this.)

Nap for 30 solid minutes, then get up and kick ass.

If your body or mind needs the rest, give it rest.

It's not a weakness.

Spot on.
I was off Friday and ran around like an idiot. I got a lot of things done but still had a few things to do.
Yesterday was a graduation party and after that, I went home and went to bed. I was whooped. Today I'm busy again but almost done.

Still can't seem to do a danged thing. Grr.

Aye, me too. I took a nap, forced myself to mow and edge, then took a nap. Now I want....a nap. But I don't want to be up at 4am.

You're just gearing up for football season, when millions of Americans sit around for hours on end doing nothing while dreaming they were the people they were watching on the television.

Who cares... Take a Nap...
I was pissed at myself the last two days for being unproductive.

I am supposed to be packing the house up but I went enjoyed the afternoon sitting and reading.

Then periodically i would come in and check the orioles.

For some reason, my energy spiked at about 3 this afternoon. I washed the truck, ran a pile of stuff to the recycle bins, and bought groceries.

When I got home I tackled a PC project for a friend, scrubbed/bleached the coffee pot, put a new light in the dining room, did some laundry, and even got a visit from a friend. The the dog and I went walking.

Why the heck could I not have been that productive this morning? Geez!

I take a 20-30 minute power nap every afternoon; usually with a kitty in my lap.
Wake up refreshed and good to go.

I very seldom ever take a nap. Feel like doing it sometimes, but almost never do, unless I am sick.
