And I also have been kind of discombobulated afterward, if it's a particularly long nap of if I completely fall asleep.  I find that if I can lie down and keep my eyes closed and not have much noise, it's more helpful than completely falling asleep.  But that's just me. :)

George, I read over yesterday’s notes three times and I still can’t find the good news about BK’s new book.

This morning the alarm rang, I got up and dressed, After a moment's thought, I went back to bed and woke 75 minutes later. I slept quite poorly last night, as usual these days.

I have memories of naps in school...or was it kindergarten only?  Hmmm.  I do remember all the kids being instructed to fold our arms on our desktops and to rest our heads.  It probably lasted 15 to 20 minutes.

The sky is starting to show blue instead of that dismal gray of yesterday.

I wish I had something new to say, but I had a nice night's sleep and can recall nothing unusual in the dreams/nightmare department.

Right now, geese have started honking and carrying on in the pond behind my house.  There are better than a dozen of them floating by in a flotilla formation.

TOD: I don't take naps. Unless I'm sick. I figure I'll know I have covid when I take a nap.

TOD:   Naps: YEA!  I love naps. I would take one every day, if I could. But I only get to indulge on weekends.

We had an enforced nap time in Kindergarten. The person that remained the most still got selected to be the wake-up fairy as a reward.

I would love to be able to take naps more easily and more often than I do. I think the definition of a good nap is a power nap, which can’t be too short or too long. I remember falling into good naps years ago, and waking up feeling like gangbusters. Nowadays I can all too easily drop off while reading or watching something, like BK and others mention all the time. And sometimes that results in just the amount of snoozing I needed. But try to deliberately get a nap? Why is that so difficult now, damn it to HELL?

So who’s watched the opening ceremonies? Apologies if I’ve glossed over anyone talking about it.

HOW ABOUT THAT CANNED ETERNALLY LOOPING “WORLD’S FAVORITE THEMES FROM CLASSICAL MUSIC”??
