Stress Free Day

Doing Nothing At All

Today is 17 January. Today I am not to do anything because my wife made me promise her that I will no do anything today.  She claims I have to much stress in my life and that I need to slow down.  I totally agree but and you know there is always a “but” involved…

Do you know how hard it is for me to do nothing? It is 3:56am in the morning and I am typing this blog. Why? I don’t know but it is better than pretending to be  sleeping.

I am not even allowed to “think” because I might start writing or fixing something. However, I am allowed to watch TV, use the washroom, eat and stay out of her way. I am not allowed to go near my metal shop, the garage or my gym.

What is on TV? Maybe, I will watch the Golf Channel and visualize me playing the perfect game.  On the other hand, maybe watch a Kung-Fu movie so that I can learn some new and useless awesome technique that want work because I can’t get caught flying across the room. – that is doing something.

I wonder how long I can really go without doing anything. I know that I cannot go for a millisecond without thinking. “Clear your mind…” tried it but I only come up with more ways to be busier.

Wait it is suppose to snow today. Maybe I can help my neighbors by shoveling their walkways when I am through with our driveway and walk way. Writing about walking maybe I can walk the exterior of the house and inspect it for any type of damages or needed upkeep.

Doing nothing is hard even when you are not doing anything at all.

Let me end now before I am caught do something.
