Just relax!!

Practice, organization and planning.

I installed a parachute hammock at the cottage, jumped in and ended up in the same situation as the comic.

I had to first learn to get in and out safely.

Then I built a small shelf i could place drinks on when reaching from the hammock.

Then I had to remember to bring my book, pillow, blanket, phone, headset and anything else with me for my hammock session.

The only thing that interrupts me now is a toilet visit ..... but I'm not installing toilet facilities in the hammock.

Brilliant. Now help me figure out how to relax in the tub without thinking about how I'm going to have to clean the tub when I get out
- Go to a hotel and pay extra for a higher end place with great bathroom / shower / tub facilities.
  I used to travel a lot overseas for fun .... when we were younger, stronger, healthier and had a bit of money. One of the best parts of the trip was in booking a really nice hotel near the airport just before you leave because you know you will be roughing it for the next week or two in budget hotels or apartments.
  Then it was also great when you came home ... we'd book the same luxury hotel at the end of the trip and there was no better feeling than to come off a long flight, crash into a big huge hotel room, run a hot shower and stand there for an hour ... then run a tub and soak there for another hour. The only issue we ever had was that my wife would always want first dibs and we'd take turns lounging in the water, while the other watched TV or fell asleep in a nice cool room with thick fluffy duvets, then at the end of it all, we both fall asleep like babies together... man I miss those trips.
Condom catheter, friend

I was actually walking this older dog, and getting impatient because it kept stopping to sit despite not seeming winded or stressed or anything being wrong, so I was like c'mon, c'mon, let's get moving -- we have to finish the walk...

But then I realised it was stopping at intersections and just, like, looking around casually. So I decided that rather than coax it onward I would wait with it.

We watched people going by, cars pulling in and out of driveways, listened to other dogs barking in the distance, sniffed at the wind whenever it picked up... I tried to figure out how many birds I could hear. It was really nice.

And then the dog seemed satisfied, so stood up and we continued our walk.

tl;dr a dog taught me how to chill tf out.

I do feel like this sometimes.

I wonder if this a sign of anything or if it's typical?

It’s a sign you need to relax!

Banana hammocking is bad for your back.

You gotta lay in it diagonally.

That hammock looks a bit too big to me.
