Club Sheba

@sheba2011

Another beautiful day in the ‘burgh but we will be getting your heat next week. I think I’ve run the a/c more this year than any other I can remember.

We have been out to eat many times, mainly to take mom for birthdays/holidays. In fact, our best friends just said yesterday that we need to go out for lunch. Our numbers are up and most of them are in the younger adults. No new restrictions in the ‘burgh. I am leery about the Olympics and hope they can get through the games without major problems or cancellations.

Not sure on my nieces, haven’t seen any scores or heard from my nephew. I know they played Monday and Tuesday so on to the next tournament. Pretty sure they go to Pinehurst next week for the world tournament.

Ditto – I hope you are more rested today and your husband is better.💗🙏💗

Good Afternoon Sheba2011, Florida is sunny and hot but then again its July. I hope you and your family are having a good day.
I am worried about Oodiebom, only having a little news every day. I am awear we all don’t really know each other here. But we can still help out when we need help.

Sheba, my post didn’t show so here it is again. Good day to you in Oz! Love the trails and we might go on a 3 day hike when it gets cooler. The yellow high heel shoes are gorgeous and sparkly! Pictures are great! I think the people who are not vaccinated are the ones landing in the hospital. I just hope people will get vaccinated.
Sounds like a hot trend in Oz. Glad you and Poppy get out early. We usually wait until late afternoon. If we go too late the mosquitos come out.
Have a great day al!
Hope Oodie and hubby can be on their way soon.

Oodie, thinking of you and hubby today.

The Importance of Napping

A short nap during the afternoon is common in many countries and can provide an energy boost and clearer senses.

As we focus on the many obligations we gladly undertake in order to create the lives we want, sleep is often the first activity that we sacrifice. We’re compelled by both external and internal pressures to be productive during many of our waking hours. While this can lead to great feats of accomplishment, it also disrupts the body’s natural cycles and leaves us craving rest. Napping represents a pleasurable remedy to this widespread sleep deprivation. Though judged by many as a pastime of little children or the lazy, the need for a nap is a trait that all mammals share and an acceptable part of the day in many countries. It is also a free and effortless way to improve our health and lift our spirits. A nap is relaxing and can improve our mood, vision, reflexes, and memory.

Lack of sleep, whether ongoing or the result of a single night’s wakefulness, puts stress on the body and mind. It can negatively impact your physical and mental health. At one time, napping was considered a natural part of life. In the past hundred years, however, electricity and modern conveniences have provided us with more time to engage in personal and professional activities. Consequently there is now less time for sleep. A mere ten minutes of sleep in the middle of the day can leave you feeling more cheerful and alert. A half-hour long nap can sharpen your senses and refresh your energy reserves, and a shorter nap can even sustain you through a long day. Napping can help you make up for lost sleep and serves as a supplement to your usual sleep schedule. You may need to give yourself permission to nap by making naptime a part of your day.

Feelings of guilt about napping or being preoccupied with other activities can keep you awake when you are trying to take a nap. If you need help, surround yourself with soft pillows and blankets or soothing music. Try to take a nap at the same time each day and use an alarm clock to ensure that you don’t fall into too deep a sleep. Learning to nap and enjoying its benefits can help you reclaim your natural right to nap. You nourish your being every time you take a nap. AMEN! 😘😎🌹

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California may this be a good day for you and your family.

Think of you Kitten stay well and safe. 🌹

Cherie,

Stay safe and cool in S. California. 😘 Take care my friend. 💕

@shoelady60,

Good day in the fabulous ‘burgh. 😎😘I hope you had a good time this week being
out and about. I do my fair share of going here and going there I just mask up. 🤣

I have yet to eat out in public I think I will wait on that in these parts.

How are the nieces doing in their Golf Tournaments? So sad that all the Athletes
entering the Olympics are getting sick with Covid. I hear most have had their vaccination.

These kids train so hard and had to wait a year to participate in the games and it may
all change in the 11th hour. I just hope no more are affected by this thing. Ugh!

This will keep you nice and cool. My mind and heart is still on Oodiebom. 💕

@71flowerchild,

Good day in Texas just be well give the fur babies a nice hot OZ pet. 🤣😎

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😘😎 I was watching the telly earlier and those Covid-19
numbers are going up in a lot of States. Really? We almost made it until the new Variant
just came out of nowhere. All my family are fully protected and they are still masking up
in public and so am I. 😎

I understand about getting all the facts from your post. 🌹 Take care and enjoy the view
and hike today. My time out will be brief I like to walk and so does Poppy. 😘

We are getting warmer by the day tomorrow will be triple digits not only in OZ but a lot
of places. Shizzle!!

Happy trails to you and stay safe and cool. 😘😎
