Naps: the Pros and Cons.

Pros:

1. Sleeping is good.
2. I love my bed. So warm, so cozy.
3. I get some of my best ideas in that state between sleep and awake.
4. My dreams are odd and sometimes funny.
5. Did I mention that I love my bed?

Cons:

1. I wake up groggy.
2. My bed? Don't want to leave it.
3. Those great ideas? I forget most of them before I'm fully awake.
4. Sometimes I do weird things in my sleep.
5. No, you can't make me leave the bed.

I took a nap a little while ago. I know it's not even noon yet, but I woke up early. Really early. And I was tired. Really tired. Why did I wake up early? I had some ideas I needed to get down. I only remembered one of the ideas. I wrote it down on the notepad beside my bed and then couldn't sleep. So I got up and did the design that woke me up. You so owe me, J. I promised you two banners and-- by golly!-- my brain was determined to follow through.

After that, I crashed out for a few hours. I woke up spitting. Yes, literally spitting onto my pillow. I'd had a dream in which I'd eaten something unappealing. For the life of me, I can't remember what that was now. But I spit on my pillow. Spit. On my pillow. Not drool. Actually "ptooey" spit. I had to change the pillow case. I grossed myself out. That was the only reason I got out of bed today. It was so warm and cozy. Outside of the bed? Not warm and cozy. But no spitty pillows either.
