It’s the Friday Five<\/a>!<\/p>\n

(Sensing some sort of pattern here …)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. What are your favorite ways to relax and unwind?<\/b> Reading. Watching something fun on TV (or video). Blogging. Blowing up things in first person shooters. <\/p>\n

2. What do you do the moment you get home from work\/school\/errands?<\/b> Check my e-mail and blog comments. Pretty sad, eh?<\/p>\n

3. What are your favorite aromatherapeutic smells?<\/b> I’m not a believer in aromatherapy. I do like fruit smells, and spices. Since I’ve been drinking tea at work, my office has a nice spicy\/citrusy aroma to it when I enter it each morning.<\/p>\n

4. Do you feel more relaxed with a group of friends or hanging out by yourself?<\/b> Yes.<\/p>\n

Actually, I’ve grown much more social over the past several years. Once upon a time, it would have been unequivocably hanging out by myself. But these days, I enjoy (and am relaxed by) social activities, too. <\/p>\n

5. What is something that you feel is relaxing but most people don’t?<\/b> In the right frame of mind, I can find yard work (or doing the dishes) quite relaxing. Sort of a “getting things in order” relaxation, something relatively mindless that lets my brain rest while I actually accomplish something. Most people look at me kind of crazy when I say that.<\/p>\n

(I also do much the same thing on those rare occasions when Margie and I have a fight — clean, do the dishes, tidy. Probably for much the same reason. Still, I guess that means it’s a good thing that the house is so messy so much of the time, right?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
