What do you do after THE MOST stressful day?

This is the first time all day Ive had a minute to sit in peace.
Other than going to Happy Hour and getting tanked, what do you all do to destress and actually get motivated to go back to work tomorrow?

I haven't done it in a long time, but I used to love to make breakfast food for dinner after I had a crappy day- French toast, hash browns, stuff like that. It was very comforting, for some odd reason.

BTW - love your Josh pic, my Mom loves him. She tells me he is her boyfriend.

OK i have needed to destress lately - before I was saving for the wedding I indulged in retail therapy.
Now that I have um limits and cannot buy the entire fall collection from the Gap.

Bubble baths - With magazines, facial mask, hot chocolate, or white wine, music basically the works. Calgon take me away.

Pedi - just the pedi - manicure can drive me nuts sometimes. Go ahead get the 'spa' pedi that they charge you $10 extra bucks for you are worth it.

Barnes and Nobel or any reading in the book store friendly place - I have a few of my fav where you can get a tea or coffee and enjoy a book that you didnt buy.

I have a journal - I don't really religiously write in it - but it is nice to have a place to write down what I am feeling / silly lists of stuff draw whatever, sometimes I will just curl up on the couch iwth it and write away.

Drive out to the beach with a book my chair - and for now b/c it is chilly a big blanket I keep in my trunk. Read and hang on the beach as long as I like.

All this makes me feel better - hope it helps!

I had a pretty stressful day until 2pm. I came home and had a cup of tea and took a long shower. Unfortunately, I have to go to work at 8pm and get stressed out all over again.

I sleep! Whenever I'm stressed or upset I just go and lie down, I always wake up feeling better.
