Today I had a nap,, WTF? I don't 'nap'. I hate napping, it seems so lame, so weak, so ' I can't take it so I will sleep through it'. I envy people who can nap, whether it's a cat nap, or a real hour or more zonk out. It's just not me. Some how, during the day, I feel obligated to be awake. Things are happening, life is moving, the world is turning on it's axis, I can't miss that! And yet, today, I did. What? Why? How? At a certain age, I feel like I need to live every moment, feel every moment, see every moment. It just cut off time from my life line. I don't want to cut off that time! Even through bad times I have that moment of clarity that says "hey, at least your alive to experience this". I have had people in my life that have passed away and I am sure they would gladly give up that for just one more experience, good or bad, ya know?
I have never been a good napper either, I wake up grumpy, groggy, and grouchy. Not refreshed in the least. I don't think better, clearer, happier. I just wake up pissed off that I wasted time sleeping. After my 'nap' today, I jumped in the shower trying to clear the cobwebs, then I got bitchy. Not a good thing for people in my path!! Next time I get the urge to nap, I am going to slap my self, have a cold shower, and make a pot of coffee. I will be tired, sure, but hey, at least when my eyelids droop I will have a smile on my face. Hello world, here I '''zzzzzz" come!
