Observations/Thoughts
These 6 AM – 2 PM hours are very difficult for me. My ability to end the day well typically depends on whether or not I get a late afternoon nap. This week there were fewer days without naps than days with them. With my 40 hours behind me this week and a busy day volunteering at a robotics qualifying event (my youngest daughter is very involved at her school), I was certain a nap would serve me well. My nap and walk needed to fit in around my modified schedule today–I was meeting with a salesman to get an estimate for a new roof. Once he left, I considered taking a walk. My droopy eyes won out. I lay down to read with full anticipation a nap would come over me quickly. (I did set an alarm to prevent excessive sleeping.)
After I woke, I planned to walk. it was not going to be a long walk. I just like to make a daily effort to do some amount of walking. As I considered the walk, the mist, the dark, and my growing ambivalence worked against me. I decided to sit on the couch and just finish my book. Another day to remind me not all walks involve movement.
