new term "the devil's nap"
May. 18th, 2021 12:07 amVery tired today but managed to get my prescriptions and return my library items. Made myself go to the dog park, but mostly sat on a bench. Abbie took a dip into the water to cool down.
Over the weekend I dog-sat for our greyhound friend Zoiks. He's very polite and easy to look after, but I could tell Abbie was a little stressed. She's glad to be Only Dog again.
I learned the term "devil's nap" which is when you go to sleep during the afternoon and wake up at night. My body loves this nap and I've learned to turn a lamp on so that I don't have confused, anxious dreams about the lights going off.
Still thinking a lot about BPM (movie) and Aristotle and Dante (book). My favorite book as a teen was "The wings of a falcon" which is sort of a slashy book that never names the queerness in it; I think the Ari and Dante books can replace that book for me as books to return to and carry around in my imagination. Touchstone stories, the kind of thing you can think about when you're stressed out.
Watched the first 2 episodes of "Rutherford Falls" and I'm finding it a little uncomfortable to watch. I'll keep going though, might hit better when I'm less tired. It's on Peacock which is NBC streaming (free).
I have a nerve block in a couple of days, thank goodness.
Things blooming: Lilacs, Tulips, strawberries, wood violets. The dandelions have mostly gone to seed. The landlord's kid finally mowed today; the lawn was getting a bit dire.
