What is it like to relax? I pet, combed, hugged and played with my cat and got her some tuna. Does this count?

I'm glad you got at least four hours of sleep, Bonnie. I know how difficult that can be sometimes.

And yes, petting, combing, hugging and playing with your cat definitely counts too.

Hmmm.... I may have to look up adult coloring books, Fran. That could be a soothing way to unwind.

yeah it really is. You can get a few mandala's off the internet for free which i did and my t suggested a book of them which i bought the book she suggested. which i don't like.......b ut will keep ya never know. but i got books with flowers, and stuff like that and some of them show you how to color them so they look like they are really real. i got them off amazon and i think there was a naughty one on there but only one which is easy to bypass. just thought i'd give you a heads up on that one.

Its taken me a very long time to do my mandela cuz you use markers fine tip of course and i know if i did it alot id get really frustrated so i just do a little at a time and its really fun too.

been trying when i can
