4 days away, 777 posts in Natter and only 1 in COMM. I think I made the correct choice to skip to the end.
I didn't skip, though I skimmed some.
For those who did skip, this quick recap of Natter:
New Orleans flooded! Recovery efforts -- WTF??!?!?!?!!!?!?!?!? Heads must roll!
God, I need a nap. And yes, I know it was a three-day weekend; I took naps every day, too. And I needed them.
zzzzzz.
I woke up very early every day of the long weekend, very perky.
This morning, when an actual
alarm
went off, I was groggy and disbelieving.
I tried to nap to make up the sleep differential, but the math so rarely works.
I could be napping right now. The boy's asleep. I'm a putz.
Everytime someone calls Pierce smooth and perfect, I think of this pic.
that pic makes me think Patrick Swayze. I think it's the hair.

What IS it with that, anyway? And why does a nap sometimes make you feel human again and sometimes make you groggy all evening UNTIL you go to bed, at which point you are wide awake?
Eeep. A few minutes ago I stopped a nurse in the hall to ask about the PICU possibly donating some of the items on the list Kathy A linked to in Press last weekend, and she turned around and introduced me to the VP of the Children's Hospital, who was just coming out of one of the bathrooms that very second. The VP seemed really interested and excited, and at her request I just finished writing and sending her a detailed email about it.
I might actually be able to help people do something constructive. Eeep!

Ooh, maybe that's why it skeevs me a bit.

Has to do with where you are in the sleep cycle, really. Best thing for naps is to go no longer than 40 minutes.
I'm lucky with naps -- I always feel better after one. But that's if my body lets me take one.
I'm a good napper also, but yeah, 15-30 minutes seems to work better than an hour or more.
They should have a permissible naptime at work. I always had to hide somewhere to get my 15-minute midday nap; without it, I could do nothing productive. It was a benefit to the company for me to have it, but really frowned upon if caught.
