That is what I have been having each day - a nap, because I am full of a cold and feeling dreadful at the moment. Not to worry, thank goodness I did this page last week. Just the story to do.
Tim's words today are "I plan my whole day around the possibility of a nap" and one again I have done a Teesha border around the page to comply with the "collage fodder" and collaged my figure and the cupboard full of food in the bottom right hand corner to fit in with Elizabeth and Bleubeard's theme at Art Journal Journey.
Tia is finding everything a bit tiring these days. Maybe she needs a few early nights as they do say an hour before midnight is worth two after it.
She had her new ear pods in and was talking to a friend of hers on the phone and was taking advantage of doing simply nothing. She closed her eyes and just talked and listened to what her friend Bettina had to say. Bettina was not one bit like Tia, she was always on the go, plenty of hobbies and lots of friends to go out with. In fact she had just been telling Tia about her plans for the weekend.
She was going for a massage on Saturday morning and then off on a hill walking adventure with her local youth group in the afternoon. They would probably end up in a local pub early evening and have something to eat and a good old chat about this and that.
Sunday was all planned out too but Tia switched off at this point as she said to her friend "I plan my whole day around the possibility of a nap" and her eyelids drooped and she almost fell asleep there and then. "The only thing I have planned to do tomorrow is make dinner for myself and that is going to be something simple like a tin of tuna and some pasta. I think that is more or less what is in the pantry at the moment and I cannot even be bothered to go and shop."
Bettina sensed her friend did not want to talk but just simply wanted to be left alone to snooze and so she rang off. She was a bit concerned about her friend Tia, "she should have more energy at her age" she said out loud to herself, resolving to have a word with Tia's mum at some time early next week.

Fabulous piece, the story made me smile. My afternoons are always planned around my nap, the older I get the more I need it! But Tia should really have more energy at her age! Love the collaged frame! I hope you will soon be feeling better, a bad head cold is one of the nastiest things there is. Feel better soon, drink plenty of fluids and be specially good to yourself. Hugs, Valerie
OH no. I hope you feel better soon Neet. I like a nice nap, just for a quick recharge. I must be like TIa-smile. I like your border again this week. It's a fun edge. And nice page too. Thanks for joining us at AJJ for Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's challenge. Hopefully you'll feel better tomorrow. hugs-Erika
It's good that you did the preliminary work, another great story on the subject! Yes, people are so different and a fabulous, beautiful journal page was made for them!
I wish you a speedy recovery, hugs-Elke
Lovely art. Hope you get over thst cold soon.
Much💛love
A wonderful page Neet - love your images, especially the one of Tia :). A great border as your 'frame'.
Yes, with one thing and another I am almost looking out for a nap some days - most unlike me
Blessings

Sounds like you and I are in the same boat. I have been sick for two days and barely made it out of bed. I have to agree with Tia. I love her outfit and her eyelashes. This is a great story and fits beautifully with Bleubeard's and my theme at Art Journal Journey. Than you dear friend and feel better soon.
A nice story and art piece.
I hope you are well already xx
P.S. We have very nasty weather here; snow and wind!!
A bit late I know, Karen was here , then Claire and the kids which means I get nothing done. I don't even turn my computer on. Anyway, love your page and the saying fits me very well at the moment. I'm tired when I get up. I'm now off to Karens for three days so have had to do my page in advance.
Hope you are both well, hugs Wendy xx
