Tired. YES.

Im off to bed.

I have a need for 2 good ways to relieve stress.
1)for when my coworkers are having a smoke break, cause Im not a smoker, but I do need to chill the hell out in a drama ridden work place

2) this is a critical need- I need to find a way to relax after a frellin hard day at work, when Ive got a huge project at home, that doesnt take a WHOLE lot of time, is enjoyable and not very expensive. Because I need a good replacement activity for that feeling of "god what a day, Im gonna go home and have a beer".

Things I have tried- for number 1) deep breathing. Reading inspirational stuff. taking a short walk.
for number 2) going to a meeting. having a shower. playing with the dogs. doing service work.

These sometimes work. I am still looking for healthy and enjoyable de stress activities. Thanks

Put an and play an exercise DVD. Any kind will do.

Sit on the couch and watch them get all tired out as you eat cookies and milk. Always made me feel better.
