Afternoon Nap

Every writer needs to take an afternoon nap once in a while. I don't advocate a daily afternoon, but I think it an afternoon nap two or three days a week helps a writer's words to flow. I took a nap this afternoon because I wasn't feeling well. If I don't feel well a nap seems to refresh me and makes me feel better.

Today I took my mother in for a CAT scan, on the way home I stopped and bought a case of water. Because I wasn't feeling well, I had difficulty loading the water into the car at the store and unloading it at home. The case of water wasn't that heavy, so my problem was feeling ill. I guess I should have left the water in the car until after my nap.

I didn't think of leaving the water in the car and unloading it after my nap. Even if I had thought about waiting to unload the water, I probably would not have waited. This is summer, I live in Las Vegas; therefore, the water would have gotten hot if I left it in the car.

The nap did wonders for me. I feel better. I'm more optimistic then before the nap. The only problem, I'm behind on my daily writing. I did write two poems after I woke up, so I'm not behind on my poetry writing for the month.
