Hello all just out of a curious though how do you unwind after a hard day's graft (work).
With me it's just sitting at my work bench doing a little bit of model making or watching a little bit of television or are you just to tired to do anything .
I have about an hour drive home so I spend that time either listening to news, music, or audio books. Once home, its chore time so I change in grubby clothes, tend to my chickens, gather/clean eggs, maybe a bit of yard work, depending on weather & light, make a bit of dinner (soup or the like), pack lunch for the next day, pack my gym bag for the next day & get that in my vehicle, lay out my clothes for the next day, get cleaned up & in bed. Maybe a touch of reading them lights out.
Weed.
Maybe reading, or listening to music, or watching something on TV. But whatever it is, I try to be stoned when doing it...
When I get home, I take a bubble bath and drink a glass of red wine with some music on. About two hours. Very relaxing...
I usually just bitch about everything in existence for a few hours. Internal screaming and a constant bad attitude, and a chip on my shoulder all enhance my disgust. After about 10 hours of this, I can usually fall asleep with some work.
There's a telescope sitting by my front door. A cruise of the universe does wonders for me, like meditation.
Playing banjo or guitar.
Learning Spanish or Mandarin.
Playing video games (Star Citizen or online texas hold'em).
Watching PBS or history/documentaries on Amazon Prime.
Reading the news (BBC Reuters or AlJazera).
Walk or light evening exercise if morning workout was lazy.
Hanging out on here!
After a normal day’s work, browse Reddit and Agnostic.com, maybe a little gaming, probably some reading.
After a hard day’s work, a glass of wine or a beer while playing a video game or reading a book.
After a really hard day’s work, to hell with all of that. A shot of whiskey, and straight to bed.
I'm usually here, the people on this website lift me up and the conversations are wonderful. That being said, I have many other hobbies, I have three quilts in progress (yes, I'm crazy) crochet and knitting projects, home decorating projects, two cats, and a stack of books to read. All of those help me unwind if I choose not to be here.
Sometimes a movie, Sometimes I'll play some World of Warcraft.
But either way I'm having a couple glasses of wine with it.
I fast all day so first order of business is getting food and fresher/comfier clothes, shoes off, smoke some herb. Little TV with dinner then back to listening to podcasts while I practice music, do yoga, work out with martial arts weapons and/or clean a bit if I have any energy left. Mostly just the former items while Im waitin on that second wind though. If I really need to wind down music and yoga are as intense as Ill get.
Too overcast to have warmed the pool , so no swimming tonight . Probably just scooter out to the mailbox , take care of all the junk mail . Have a load of laundry soaking in the machine so will start that later ,Meat and veggies waiting in the fridge for me to do something with them .
Depends. Today I'm doing tango. Sometimes, I just stay at home and relax. Sometimes I go for a pint with friends.
