Nap Time
It's almost nap time at my house.
Nap time for me that is.
Since social distancing began I have been scheduling into my day nap/quiet time.
I busy myself all morning, eat lunch and then retreat to my room for an hour and half or so.
Sometimes I sleep. Sometime I read. Sometimes I scroll my phone.
I think I might sleep today.
I slept fitfully last night and woke up at 5:30 AM. I had to go to the store today and I was anxious about it which caused me to toss and turn until I finally just got up.
As the covid-19 pandemic spreads in the United States, so does my concern.
I left for the store at 6:45 AM. I took the necessary precautions but it is still unnerving out there. One must assume that everyone is contagious and that is just scary. I find myself looking at people so differently, wondering about them and who and what they have been exposed to.
That kind of stress and worry can easily exhaust a person.
It felt very intense in the stores today and my body felt tense. I find people aren't really smiling at each other as much. I find that everyone is feeling uptight and focused on getting in and out of the store. No time to dally. Lists are imperative. I am even organizing my lists by aisle so that I don't have to do any back tracking. If I have forgotten something, and it is at the back of the store, I really think about how badly I need that item.
Exhausting.
I'm going to nap.
Silver lining for the day: After nap time I have tea time with my daughter. Teatime includes a snack. Currently we are having caramel popcorn with our tea. I need to find a recipe for some little tea cookies. That would be yummy and would feel so proper! I did find flour at the store today! Win!
