Maybe that's what I have.. low blood pressure!... <br /><br />Wait a minute... nope, my dr. says my blood pressure's just fine.<br /><br />Too bad. <br /><br />I thought I had a legitimate excuse for loving to nap and feeling very swoony after lunch everyday. <br /><br />I love how you can make me laugh in reading in front of my screen.<br /><br />Now, I think I'll go lie down.

Then, I need to know for sure that nothing important will happen while I am napping. Too high-strung. I know.
