Sunday Naps

Everyone enjoys a nice Sunday nap. (Everyone I know at least... (or should I say anyone who's normal? ... k, maybe i shouldn't say that)) It is very enjoyable to be able to catch up on some much needed sleep that may have been lost over the week/weekend. I haven't had a good Sunday nap in a while because I've been busy with stuff at the church, busy doing stuff with friends, or busy with other things like that. So today (well, technically yesterday since I'm writing this after midnight), I decided to take a nice little Sunday nap ... but I didn't really get one.

It was almost 2:00 pm, I just got off the phone with someone and I decided to lay down for a nap. At 2:06, my brother calls me about plans for later that day. No big deal right? I had just started to get comfortable - just a minor interruption and I soon resumed my nap attempt. I was fine for a little while - got a little sleep in - but at 2:28 a friend called to ask me a favor. My attempt was again thwarted around 2:40 when my brother got home and I talked to him a little about our plans for later that day. Then, after focusing my efforts on getting some rest, my phone rings again. 2:45 someone from church was returning a call I had made earlier. After that was settled, I again tried to get some shut-eye but 2:51 my phone rings again! It was an assistant stake executive secretary asking me if I could meet with a member of the stake presidency later that day. After that, I only had about 20 more minutes of my previously allotted nap time left. I got close to dozing off but then I couldn't sleep when someone who lives in the house behind my apartment complex was outside having a heated conversation on the phone with his ex-girlfriend about some money ($600) and a car or a motorcycle. I figured this all out because he also called someone else and was explaining the situation to them and saying it was unfair and that she needed to give him his money because it was still his money ... or something like that.

By this time, I couldn't sleep and I needed to be somewhere within a short amount of time, so I got up and went about my day. My nap attempt had failed.
