 |
|
I needed to catch up on some science journal reading over lunch at work today, away from phones, email and walk-in discussions.
I keep the back Westy curtains mostly closed all the time so it doesn't look out of place if I decide to use my outer office for times like this.
So it was out to the parking lot, drop the dark mid-curtain, roll out the sleeping bag & fluff the pillows on the z-bed, then slip off the shoes & streeeetttcccch out in back for an hour of blissful, uninterrupted, quiet reading time.
Around 12:30, with the articles finished and feeling totally relaxed, a half-hour nap was just the thing to refresh me for the rest of the afternoon.
Having a Westy is so awesome...

| I did the same today, well almost. I just went in the back to read, didn't have the bed pulled out. Nice way to recharge. |

part of the reason I got a van, I regularly work 12 plus hour days.
45 min nap at lunch and I can make espressos on the stove

I'm not much of a napper, but I love my van for the mobile lunch room it makes. It's great getting away from the office and parking next to a close-by river.
Gives me the brief illusion that I'm camping... before having to return to the old "Hell Hole".

| My toddler is the napper in my van. We don't hesitate to take long mid-day trips that we would not do without the van. Nap time comes around and the boy sleeps on the bed behind the rear seat. Momma and I read a book or make some lunch for an hour or more while the boy naps. When he wakes up we continue on with our day. It’s all about the flexibility the van provides. |
