The virtues of afternoon naps

I had to go back early from work today for a doctor's appointment (no worries, it was only for something minor and it is taken care of). As it was in the middle of the afternoon when I left and my day had been very quiet, it was not worth going back to work, so I stayed home for the rest of the day. Which means that I spent a good bit of time with little Wolfie, then I... napped! For more than an hour. Which I rarely do, even at weekends. As our baby boy wakes up often in the night and the night before had been particularly rough, it felt really great. I had forgotten how rejuvenating afternoon naps can be.
