What I could use right now is a good nap.
I think it's the change in the seasons, even though it's supposed to get up to 85 degrees today. Or maybe it's because midterms are coming up, or Missouri Hope is coming up, or ...
I am falling asleep at the computer while I type.
I miss my morning naps from kindergarten, when we put rugs on the floor. I didn't nap back then, instead staring up at the bare bulb in the hallway outside the door, and imagining conversations with it. If I had known that my future would be bereft of morning naps, I would have taken advantage of the time and slept.
Napping, especially in the middle of the day, is oddly satisfying, Thoughts of what needs to be done retreat temporarily and comfort seeps into my bones. My mind wanders into dreams of sorts, and then shuts off. Then I wake up 20 minutes later with my mind less cluttered and my body rested, and it's time to enter the fray again.
I really need a nap right now.
