What do you do after a hard day's work?

It's almost hometime for me. Today was a busy day as always, and it is great to know I'll be home soon. I usually collect my daughter at daycare first. Then when we get home, it's time for showers, homework, feeding the cats and starting supper. Some nights I have to do the laundry aswell. But as soon as everyone is of to bed, I like to sit and relax, maybe read a bit. Sometimes even watch a good movie. What do you do to relax and get your mind off work?

I love to meet my friends after long working hours. When I am with my friends I forget about everything and can relax.

That sounds very nice. I'm always too tired to do much. My kids keep me on my toes. My friend always wants me to go out with her on a weekend, but I chicken out most of the time. - Ronelle

Sadly I am not currently working, not for the want of trying but when I was working full time I used to like to come home and especially if it was a really tiring stressful day have a nice long hot shower and get into my dressing gown and then crash out on the sofa and watch some tv, usually comedy to make me laugh and forget about the stresses of the day.

Neither! I love One Foot In The Grave that is my alltime favourite, has tears running down my face, lost count of the amount of times I have watched each episode I don't believe it.... It's true!

I would love to be a stay home mom again. I've been working full time now for about 2 years, and before that I used to be a "home-executive", I realy miss it. - Ronelle

Me too! You get into a routine don't you, like a military exercise, it keeps your mind of feeling sorry for yourself (me in particular) and you haven't got time to sit around and ponder. That's been my trouble if I could go out to work and do something I really enjoy then that would be more fulfilling and would definitely keep these black moods at bay x

Hi there, dears. Too much to do and too little time. I've been stressed out a lot lately, and have been very irritated. Luckily been sleeping well the past 2 nights. Wolfie, I'm rooting for you for that job!

every day is a new day but we have to do a lot of hard work daily. And after that we need to be relaxed and then ready for the next daz work. I used to be relaxed by having a bath with cool water and then have a cup of tea.

After a day full of work and meetings... the best thing for relaxing is to catch up with some sleep... it makes me relax my body as well as my mind...

Hi Fulton!(",) Now that I have a hectic schedule in my teaching career, I usually take a rest after work. Sometimes, I sleep to gain energy for the next day's series of lecture. There are also times that my way of relaxation is playing Luxor games in my computer and surfing the net. Being here in mylot is also a soothing way of relaxation for me because I can express my thoughts and share my ways.(",) I miss watching movies already. Before I used to have a marathon of great movies and even horror movies. As for now, my daily routine after a hard day's work is eating my dinner, watching tv and then study for my next lecture.(",)

had i tiring day today myself. the moment i got home i plopped down on the couch, and woke up, too late to go out again for midweek church service. that bummed me out, but i had to move on. feeling a little testy and irritable right now, since i feel like i didn't get to do anything other than school stuff. another day today though! to relax i'm mylotting, and checking up on my messages.

I hate it when that happens. Then you feel like you haven't achieved much and life goes past so fast that every waking moment counts. - Enjoy mylotting, hope you relax well. - Ronelle

Dear Friend, I think the best thing you can do is a have a little nap.But if you don't like it, you can listen to some music. Thanks

If I have to choose between going out and staying home, it will be staying home. I'm more of an introvert, and feel crowded between a lot of people... - Ronelle

Buster - My lazy Beagle Buster relaxing.
My job is a 24 hour a day job. So when I get off of work it's when I am out of the house. But I do try to get away one weekend every month or two to relax and relieve stress. I am my fathers caregiver which is VERY hard and sttressful work. Anyhow to unwind/rrelax I like to take a day or two and go to the local casino. I get great comps so I always have a free room there. I will try and get my wife to come having my son or daughter around to check on dad etc. But my wife doesn't like going to the casinos like I do. When I'm there it's just so relaxing and entertaining for me eithet winning or losing. It's just for me to unwind, relax, and lose some stress. Some days I just take a long walk with my dog Buster when dads napping. This is Buster in the photo laying on the couch relaxing like I should be doing. Hahaha!! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Hi grandpa Bob. Buster looks like a sweety! Unfortunately I only have cats, can you imagine the neighbourhood's dogs if I have to walk down the street with 3 cats on leashes!lol I take my hat off for you for the dedication you show towards your dad. Enjoy your next trip to the casino... - Ronelle
