When I get back from work I feed the pets and give them some fresh water. After that I like to take a bath and drink some coffee. I love coffee and it is one of my habits to drink several cups of coffee when I get home. I also like to write down the things that I have to remember the next day, and I write everything in my calender. After that I like to relax in front of the computer.
What about you? How you do usually relax after a long day at work? And what are the things that you do when you get back from work?

As soon as I reach home I takes bath and after that watch TV for sometime while drinking juice. After that I prepare my dinner and have it. Before I go to bed I opens my diary and write something specially when some new things happened, then only go to sleep.

I think it is a great to write about the new things in your diary. I do that as well. I don't write every day, but if something interesting happened, if I did something new, met some new people etc I like to write about it in my diary. Sometimes I read my old diaries, and it a good way to remember the things that happened and the experiences I had.

I don't work, but I usually do a few stuff to relax. First I take a nap. I don't know why, but I love taking naps ever since I was a kid. I had a part time job one time and I always took a nap after I got home. It helped me regain all my energy. I felt so relaxed and fresh when I woke up. After resting my body, what I could do is to have a good dinner. Having a good dinner is just making me feel good. After that, I would watch TV or sit on my computer. Basically I would do anything that makes me feel happy. It doesn't have to be in the house though. I could be outside the house like doing some sports with friends or something like that. Physically it's tiring, but it's different kind of tiredness from what you get from work lol.

Taking a nap that is a good way to get new energy. When I worked in a home health care team, I was always really tired when I got back from work, and I often took a nap to get new energy. I also get tired at my current job, but not the same way. Spending time at the computer is another thing that I enjoy. Spending time with friends is nice, but sometimes I don't have enough energy for that when I get home, and I usually end up in front of the computer instead.

Well, I usually relax at the end of the day by sitting and taking a cup of coffee. That usually my relaxing time. I often sit just letting time pass by and think about what I have accomplished that day as well as think about what I am gonna do the following day.

I also like to spend some time thinking about the things I have accomplished or learned that day and the things that I am going to do the next day. I usually have a look at the next day in my calender to find out if there is something that I need to do or remember. Sometimes I write about my day in my diary especially if something new happened or if I am very happy or very sad.

Hi,
I am not working at this moment, a full-time housewife.
I used to work before I get married.
So what I normally do after off from my work was taking train back to my house,
on the way back home will take-away my dinner,after reached home, faster go for my shower(need to refresh myself).
Then will have my dinner and watch TV at the same time.
I used to work on shifts and in some days I might work in the afternoon shift.
If I were on afternoon shift,by the time I reached home is midnight.So definitely,I will quickly have my shower and have a sleep for the next day activity.

That sounds a lot like me when I was working in the nursing home. When I got home I took a shower, and ate my dinner in front of the tv. Now I work at night and I get home around 9 a.m., so instead of dinner I drink coffee when I get home. If I am hungry I usually have breakfast at the same time, otherwise I wait for a while and eat breakfast a few hours later.

After a busy day, I have to relax and unwind. I like to watch television or read a book first. If I still feel like I need to relax more, a long hot bubble bath is usually the answer for me.2 people like this

A long hot bubble bath that sounds very nice 
I only have a small bathtub in my house, and it is not that comfortable (because of the size) but I still use it, because I enjoy soaking the nice hot water. It is especially nice during the winter months when it is cold outside

I wash, get changed into some home clothes and switch on the tv and relax. If I'm hungry I'll just grab something to eat, usually a snack of some sort. Then I get on with some studying, and when I get bored I'll just switch on my computer and surf the net. If I don't feel tired I'll do some gardening with my mum.
Sometimes I'm so tired that I just crash onto the sofa and sleep, then mess up my sleeping patterns but now it's the holidays! :D

Sometimes I also fall asleep on the couch. I just intend to close my eyes for a few minutes, but I usually end up sleeping several hours instead of a resting for a few minutes

When I get home I let the dogs out and give them fresh water. Then I change into my comfy clothes. Sometimes I just sit and watch tv, sometimes I go to the pool, sometimes I sit on the porch...but I always try to unwind and relax.

You are lucky to have a balcony, I wish I had one When I lived in an apartment I loved sitting on the balcony and watching people and the surroundings. I sometimes miss that. Going for an evening walk sounds like a good idea. Sometimes my husband and I do the same thing, and it a nice way to relax and get some fresh air. Right now it is very hot inside our house, and in the evenings it is nice to walk around outside instead of spending the time in the house.

I usually spend it with my bf. After work, I headed straight to his place or we will meet somewhere and will straight to my house. We hang it around there for few hours and then I spend it by watching tv or a little playing with my dogs.

It depends on my mood. I don't do the same thing after work every day or anything, I see what I feel like and adjust to that. Sometimes I meet a friend, sometimes I work out, sometimes I watch tv... it could be anything really, as long as it seems appealing to me at the time!
