All it took was a nap!

I know some people roll their eyes when they see me post "I'm going to take a nap", and I can imagine them thinking what a lazy baggage I am, but I've learned that when my body says "nap time" then I'd better listen!

I never used to be this way, although a hot Summer could see me flake out quite easily. The past couple of years though have been a real humdinger, and my body started really acting up. I thought it, and I, had a pretty good relationship. 2 years ago, it decided that wasn't the case. 

After juggling the issues, and confounding some doctors along the way, we all seem to have come to a somewhat stable medium, but my body is definitely the one who makes the rules.

So, I was up this morning at 5.30am, doing my usual, letting the dogs out, packing hubby's lunchbox for work, and grabbing him something to eat for breakfast, and then, after he left for work, I checked emails, and went on Facebook to answer any messages, look at posts etc.

I started getting a little headache, and decided "ok, time for a nap".

A little headache may seem like a cop out to some, but my little headaches become big ones, which in turn causes me stress from the pain, which pushes my blood pressure up, gets the old ticker agitated, and then can actually make me have a pretty rough day.

So, nap time.

I dozed for maybe 30 minutes, time enough for the headache to go on its merry way and leave me to get on with my day.

I swept and mopped my bedroom and hallway floors, popped one load of laundry in the dryer and another load in to wash, and prepped dinner in the slow cooker.

Methinks that nap was very productive!

I still have a list of things I want to accomplish today and I feel pretty confident that I'll manage to get them all done.

Have a great day everyone!
