I hated naps when I was a kid. My brother and I grew up playing outside the house with the neighborhood kids (cousins and actual neighbors). Around noon-ish, I remember my mom would call us back to the house to eat lunch and take a nap. Of course, the other kids continued playing outside regardless of the time. I remember that I had to pretend to be taking a nap until 3 PM. I pretended to be taking a nap, meaning I was just lying in bed with my eyes closed, doing absolutely nothing. I hated the whole ordeal. Once I became an adult though, naps became my absolute best friend. I was even annoyed why companies do not have a “paid one-hour nap” thingy. Adults would be happier being at work and more recharged during the other half of the shift. I mean, I knew a lot of people who would love this. Of course, this would never happen. Ever. At least here. Cause why would it?

Anyway, just because I am an adult (as my age suggests), I appreciate naps a lot more. Granted, there is no rhyme or reason why I should be feeling tired considering I have not been doing any strenuous activity. But I took a nap today because apparently, I was too tired and falling asleep on my chair. What was that? Regardless, I appreciated it since I felt so much more energized after waking up. So that was good.

My boyfriend and I watched a movie today. We decided on Scream (2022). I actually got annoyed that Scream 4 wasn’t available on Paramount+. Which was fine really, I was just annoyed that that was the only movie not available on there for this franchise. Anyway, the movie was okay. We have some “how in the hell was this person able to do that” moments. But for the most part, it was fun. I still think the first one was the best of them because I think that was the most original. But then again, people can only recreate and continue this franchise so much. This movie was definitely a lot more stab happy compared to the other three that we watched. I liked it.

I was able to read a bit more last night. So I would like to continue that tonight. I mean sure, I did not manage to make a dent with Lord of the Flies, but I am hoping tonight would be better considering that I had a nap. We shall see though. I would like to finish a book soon. I mean, I’ve been reading a lot of webtoons again. And for the most part, I enjoy it, but I am also itching to just read a book now. Hopefully, my focus does not waver at all tonight.
