How to Relax

It’s been 8 days since my plant went out on strike. The time off has been a little rough. When I am asked, “how’s things going?” All I can say is that it feels as if you’re driving along in your car at about 30 mph, stomping on the breaks and shoving it into park! Relaxing is hard work. I’ve been driving my wife Susan a bit bonkers by simply being restless. Slowing down, taking it easy….That’s for when you retire; not for simply being out of work.

I have a paper to write for one of my classes. I am working on the story of Abraham. 29 pages of notes to read and edit to get a 1500 word paper. I can’t sit still long enough to focus on my notes.

I started the week washing my truck. Then I decided to strip all the old wax off, polish and buff, steam clean the engine, shampoo the carpets…. Then I did a friend of mines truck… Now I have another set up for next week if the strike is not settled.

See, I know how to relax!!!!
