Welcome to bedtime stories for everyone in which nothing much happens.

You feel good and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nicolai.

I create everything you hear on nothing much happens with audio engineering by Bob Woodershine.

Our team is on vacation this week and we want to remind you about the importance of

rest and relaxation.

So we are replaying a favorite episode from season 8.

It encourages you to think of rest like you think of drinking water.

When you need it, you don't try to get by on as little as possible.

You don't feel guilty for feeling thirsty.

You just take what you need.

We'll be back with a new episode next week.

We also want to let you know that you'll soon be able to subscribe to our premium ad-free

feed right through Apple Podcasts.

And we'll have more about that on our socials and on our website.

Let me say a little about how to use this podcast.

Your brain needs a job to do and without one it will wander off and likely get into trouble.

But the job we have for it is easy and such a pleasure.

I'll tell you a story.

In fact I'll tell it twice and I'll go a little slower the second time through.

Your job is just to listen and pull the details of it around you like a blanket.

If you wake in the middle of the night, you could listen again or just walk yourself
