Friday afternoon

tasting the forbidden fruit

of a righteous nap

Filled with emotions from a somewhat difficult day from a personal perspective, I welcomed the opportunity to get home quite early for a Friday. I made a half-hearted attempt to be productive, but that lasted all of ten minutes before the siren song of my bed proved irresistible. I fell into a deep sleep that put things almost right with the world for an hour. It would have felt indulgent… if it wasn’t so necessary to put me in a proper state of mind.
