Here Have Some Wine
According to an email that went around the interwebs a while ago - the best thing a man could ever say to his wife after a hard day was ‘here have some wine’. Apparently a great way to relax - and at some level yes that’s an okay thing, but sometimes you need something more. Something fulfilling and different. Not just the haze of an alcohol induced coma.
Here’s the way you said you would relax…
- If the day is draining,
just quit all your complaining,
take your brain off training,
your drugs are waiting. - Could I sleep in a box?
Could I sleep with a fox?
Could I sleep here or there?
Sleep is relaxing anywhere! - When my mind is waxing,
and all that thought is taxing,
I turn on that box thing.
And forget. - I could listen to a cello.
I could spend time with my fellow.
But I’d rather get mellow
with my cat named yellow. - Coming home, after a hard day of school work and sitting on the couch eating dark chocolate and whatching movies while it is raining outside…
- Grab a good book and go sit somewhere, letting your mind sail away to worlds unkown…
- Lie back, take it easy. Not worth getting breathless and wheezy.
Relax the mind and you will find everything today is light and breezy! - I relax by imbibing two hard ciders (6.5% alcohol by volume) in the company of my good friend Russell. 3 of them is *very* relaxed =)
- By soaking in a hot bath full of bubbles, a glass of your favourite plonk beside you and soft music in the background.
Now I think that last one is good fun even if you’re not drinking plonk. I’ve tried relaxing by watching the box too - but it just seems I get more stressed. I’m not sure that that’s the best way to relax. I did a 30 day challenge a while ago - not to watch the box - it was some of the most relaxing times I’ve had in recent memory.
Some of the most relaxing times I’ve had have been while reading - fantasy novels are great stuff to read and hanging out just not doing much. I was reading the local newspaper two days ago (they had an article on one of my favourite bands) - now that was great. Lara - my wife was knitting and nothing much was going on. Totally sweet.
So because of the delivery of the message - Rose wins today. Hanging out with her cat Yellow seemed to me the best way to actually relax. If only I had a cat. Thanks for the tip Rose!
