Here’s another edition of the Thursday Evening Post. 😎

I recently rewatched Season 9, Episode 16, “Roamin’ Bob-iday,” of Bob’s Burgers.

In this episode Bob Belcher’s family forces Bob to take a day off of work (by locking him out of his restaurant 😆) because he is overly exhausted from working too many consecutive days. 🍔

There is a hilarious song in the episode that occurs when Bob Belcher tracks down Mr. Fischoeder, his landlord, in hopes of getting Mr. Fischoeder to let Bob into his restaurant.

Lyrics:

Mr. Fischoeder: Doing nothing, Bob, is really doing something
Bob: That literally makes no sense. Maybe you could just give me the keys and…
Mr. Fischoeder: Bob, Bob, Bob, you’re not listening

There are times in my life
When I’ve had to do something
Hiring, firing, illegal trash dumping
But any time that I have had something to do
I always wished that I could bid that something adieu

Nothing, nothing, nothing makes me happy
Doing something is what I avoid
I adore diddly-squat
It thrills me a lot
And nothing never gets me annoyed

Oh, sometimes I have to do stuff, and I hate it
Likе paying off arsonists, showering, and shaving
Wait, did you just say “paying off arsonists”?
No, I said, uh, playing golf with pharmacists
Huh. Where was I? Oh

Nothing, nothing, nothing makеs me happy
(Happy, happy)
Nothing brings me nothing but joy
So if you haven’t tried nada
I really think you oughta
‘Cause all play and no work makes me a big, sexy boy
Big, old, sexy boy

Mr. Fischoeder: Are you starting to get it now, Bob?
Bob: Maybe. I mean, I guess you are a big, sexy boy, but…
Mr. Fischoeder: Well, of course, I am
Bob: Yeah
Mr. Fischoeder: Now let’s go do nothing somewhere else

I LOVE when Mr. Fischoeder calls himself a big, sexy boy! 🤣

I love EVEN MORE when Bob (my FAVORITE character) agrees with him about it! 😂

The lyrics in this song make me laugh, and I hope the song makes you laugh too! 😃

The idea of doing nothing is actually EXTREMELY important!

There is a tendency for people to judge themselves based on how much they accomplish every day, and this leads to burn out. 😴

Although it’s important to have goals and do what’s necessary for our survival, to take care of ourselves, we must take time to just REST!

What do you like to do when you are “doing nothing”?

Do you enjoy closing your eyes and noticing your breath? 🧘🏾‍♂️

Do you enjoy doodling? ✏️

Do you enjoy relaxing on the couch and watching your favorite show? 📺

Do you enjoy sitting outside and listening to the sounds of nature or watching wild animals move about? 🐇

Do you enjoy lying in the grass and watching the clouds?

When we allow ourselves the time to simply be present and relax without a goal in mind, we are able to recharge.🩷

May you find some time today to just do NOTHING because doing nothing is doing something important! 💛

May you be well! 💚
