I just took a nap. It was quick and to the point, lasting ten minutes. I used my trusty eye bag, which is sage scented, and made of pale green silk. (This eye bag goes everywhere with me.)
I have returned to work, after having first gone out to check on the chicken baking in the oven, and to eat one Chessman cookie, and am now back here, at my desk, toiling away. Totally refreshed.
I just took what is called a POWER NAP.
Even though the words 'Power' and 'Nap' do not in any way belong near each other in a complete sentence, it seems that people these days cannot let a good thing lie, and the innocent nap, the short snooze, can no longer be something as simple as that.
If one is living an insane life,the kind of life that includes huge amounts of over-scheduling and travel on jets, and rushing late to everything, one needs to take naps.
These frenzied, oops, I mean super competent people can't bear the idea that any activity of theirs be anything other than extremely important, so therefore they have re-named the 'catnap'.
So, I re-introduce you to your cat nap. It is now the Power Nap.
May you rest in peace.
How in the world can you eat ONE Chessman cookie!?
