The Power Nap

My day got a little messed up right after a good start.  I had a plan for homework and studying this morning and it was going well.  I actually made Grandma Vi's breakfast casserole and had just put it in the oven for the 1.5 hour bake time when I sat down, got on the computer and was navigating towards my SUU portal.  A text message came through saying that one of our cooks was sick, Dave had a presentation to do for a class and could I come open the store.  Yep.  I had 30 minutes or so and let the casserole continue to cook before taking it out, loading it up and finishing it at the Brick House.  My homework and studying would have to wait.  I eventually finished the casserole, got to sample a bit of it after the lunch rush and then set it aside to take home.  Hopefully it is good in the morning cause that is the plan for breakfast for a few days.  Anyhow, I didn't end up getting home until 6:30ish and then had to come up with dinner.  Once I got through dinner and some clean up I finally had a chance to sit down and look at that homework around 8:30 or so.  I couldn't keep my eyes opened and wasn't retaining a thing so I finally said screw it.  I went up to my room and took a nice little power nap a little after 9.  So wonderful.  I came down at 9:30, got through my reading with out a problem.  I am sure to have to employ the power nap on a regular basis.  Sometimes running on fumes is a difficult thing and a little breather helps to bring some life back.
