Am feeling better... but still napping when warranted. My Vitamin D level has been low over the years and my blood pressure is sometimes very low (low normal) 115/59 which may account for being tired or having low energy on occasion. But I usually bounce back.<br />I enjoyed a tiny bit of the cream sherry! Can't do much of any type of wine due to my tendency to migraines.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-10257690190381404662019-03-09T08:46:48.207-08:002019-03-09T08:46:48.207-08:00Dear Rian, I think that I've recently become a...Dear Rian, I think that I've recently become an ambassador of naps! I'm recommending them to everyone. In fact, I seem to go to sleep faster at night if I've had a nap during the day.<br /><br />I hope you are feeling much better. The low energy and the fatigue can be part of aging, but also I think they can signal that perhaps we truly need to rest before getting some virus or bug or being forced to lie low for days! Hope the entree tonight with the sherry tastes delicious! And that the resting with book and sherry is even better! Peace.

I don't get enough, and I certainly don't sleep well at night (OMG, the hot flashes right now....!). Anyway, I hope the rest does you good and that you feel more energetic again too. <br /><br />Enjoy your yummy beef stroganoff!Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.com
