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.
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.
Weed.
Maybe reading, or listening to music, or watching something on TV. But whatever it is, I try to be stoned when doing it...
I get on my inversion table, and listen to a little music (today, it was Tangerine Dream). After that, some oolong tea.
I so wish I liked booze. Or pot. Or baths. All I got are naps. I wake from them just in time to go to bed for the night.
Ha !! You stole my thunder !!... That's what I do...nap to chill and then wake up to realize it's time to go to bed. Life can get really evil when we grow old.... ??
@IamNobody oh I don't know. Naps are the one thing I look forward to. A good nap is a gift
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.
Sometimes a movie, Sometimes I'll play some World of Warcraft.
But either way I'm having a couple glasses of wine with 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 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 .
