Update: Uncle Tibbs

A few months ago, we found Uncle Tibbs lying on the couch. He seemed to be in pretty bad shape at the time and quite stressed out.

It's always good to check-in with friends to see how they are doing in challenging times, so let's see what he is up to now.

Ah, there he is! He's... lying down... oh no... this is not looking good.

"Uncle Tibbs, are you okay?" I asked. He did not respond!

I moved closer.

"Uncle Tibbs...?"

Ah-a! Uncle Tibbs can't hear me because he is listening to nice, relaxing music on his earphones. He also has fresh cucumber slices on his eyes to cool any inflammation.

And he is being served fresh water with a slice of citrus on the side!

This looks like a wonderful spa treatment for Uncle Tibbs! We'll just leave him alone to enjoy it and won't bother him this time.

And hey... this looks so nice... I'd like to have one myself...

Remember to RELAX everybody!

Also, thank you everyone for the birthday wishes last week! I received some cool stuff in the mail and will show you soon next time!

What's wrong with Uncle Tibbs?

It's been a while since I've seen Uncle Tibbs. I wonder what he's been up to lately. Maybe you are wondering the same thing. Let's go find him, shall we?

I saw him passed out on the couch.

"Hi Uncle Tibbs..."

"LEAVE ME ALONE!!" he roared, taking a swig of beer.

That was very unlike Uncle Tibbs to yell like that. He looked beary angry.

"Uncle Tibbs, are you okay?" I asked.

"I"M FINE! NOW GO AWAY!!"

Ooogie, Miss Feathers, and Parker came over to see what was the matter.

"Ohhhhh nooooooo," said Ooogie.

"What's wrong with him?" I was worried about my friend.

"It looks like he has a severe case of adultitis," said Miss Feathers.

"Woof?"

"Yes, it's something that only adults get. Usually caused by work and stress," she continued.

"It sounds beary serious. How can we help?" I asked.

"Well, usually it means that the patient needs more F-U-N. We can start by giving H-U-G-S right away."

"Okay everyone, let's give Uncle Tibbs a big hug right now!" I said.

"HARUMPH!!" scoffed Uncle Tibbs. The expression on his face did not change.

"We need backup," Miss Feathers said.

"I'll get help!" I ran off and came back with several stuffie friends.

Very soon, dozens of stuffies were hugging Uncle Tibbs.

"Mooooore huuuuuugss, moooooreeeeee," said Ooogie.

"Everyone, please hug Uncle Tibbs with everything you've got and send him good thoughts!" I cheered them on.

"WE LOVE UNCLE TIBBS!! WE LOVE UNCLE TIBBS!! WE LOVE UNCLE TIBBS!!" they chanted.

But it was no use. Uncle Tibbs was still angry.

"Wait, look!" cried Miss Feathers.

Uncle Tibb's face returned to his normal self!

"Uncle Tibbs...is it really you?" I asked.

"Hi Ajdin! Thank you for all the hugs just now! I feel so much better! And you're right - I need to have more fun!" he said.

I hope you will give someone a big hug today!

Nothing.

Sometimes it's nice to do nothing.

"Aaaaaajdin," Ooogie said.  "Whaaaaaaaat are youuuuuuuuuu doooooooooing?"

"Nothing," I said.

"That looooooooooooks niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice."

"Ajdin, Ooogie," Uncle Tibbs said.  "What are you doing?"

"Nooooooooooothing," we said.

"Hmm, I think I'll join you."

Sometimes it's really nice to just relax and do nothing.
