What do you do to recharge your batteries after a long, hard day/week?

Just got home from visiting my nieces and nephew. There's nothing in the world like seeing their face light up when they spot me and run to hug and kiss me. Not to mention when they hang all over me when it is time for me to go home, and beg to know when they'll see me next! No matter how bad the week was, and this week was bad, I'm reminded that I'm loved. And that recharges my batteries to face the world again.

How about you?
 
recharge

There are a couple of things I do to recharge.. One is play with the kids when I get home, my two never seem to tire of swinging upside down with me holding their ankles, they are still little. The other thing I like to do is to sketch or draw, either on the computer or with a regular piece of paper and a pencil... I do draw that well but it helps me to relax.
 
Yeppers

Knowing that I am loved always puts a spring into my step and a song into my off key voice. I once had a sales job that kept me out till arround 2300, and sucess was usally not known till the next week. My 4 year old would here me come in and get up to go to the bathroom. Then she would invite me to share a bowl of icecream, and ask "So, how was your day, Dad?" It made the long days worth every minute.
 
I recharge on Sunday afternoons. When my daughter goes down for her nap, the boys go to the playroom for an hour and I get to soak in the tub. I take a long steamy bath, relax with soft music and sink under the water until I am pruned and the water is cool.

After that I am ready to try and face another week.
 
Aggression therapy

First priority is my kids. Getting on the floor, playing Legos, watching and being fascinated by their little minds churning out all those thoughts and creativity...its breathtaking! Nothing else matters at that moment.

Secondly, I like to beat on people with a stick (I play hockey)! Or, even better, I really to meet a bunch of friends out in the woods, enjoy the fresh air, sunshine and wildlife with them, then hunt them all down and shoot them like dogs! (I play paintball too!) Except most of the time they get me before I get them, which is half the fun! Afterwards we get together with our families, fire up the BBQ or smoker, and just turn into social critters.
 
Well now.....I take the batteries out of the vibrator...then I place them in the recharger unit plug it in to the electrical unit in the wall...wait for several hours tapping my foot in anticipation....snatch those puppies out of recharger...oh yeah unplug unit from wall outlet...then replace them in the vibrator and work on my battery for awhile then HEY...we are good to go 'til next time!

Sorry, couldn't resist....if there is humor to be found in anything you can bet I'll go for it! *forget runs laughing from thread!* *vibrator....in hand of course...anyone wanna use it on me....batteries recharged!*

*Blush* aw thanks CW! You are a sweetie! :D Have I told how much you make me smile...
 
When it all gets to be too much, I take an entire day for ME. I start with a long hot bubble bath, with scented candles, a glass of wine and maybe even a book.

Then I get all wrapped up in my big fuzzy robe and curl up on the sofa to finish my book, or maybe watch a movie. I usually end up falling asleep, still wrapped in my robe and my hair still wet from my bath.. so I wake up looking like Medusa but feeling like a Goddess. lol
 
Every day Manu and I take a 45-minute walk on the beach. We walk quick enough to get our heart racing. We go out just before sunset, and usually end up back at our car after the sun has passed over the ocean. It's a wonderful stress reliever. Without it, our asses would be shaped like our desk chairs. :)

When I'm at home and stressing on some problem, I pet Aiko. She's so soft and warm and loving...her big green eyes melt all my stress away.

If those don't work, I pick up strippers and choke em with piano wire.


(just joking, I swear. I don't even own a piano.)

a)..Listen to music.

b)Drink a couple of Beers,and listen to music.

c)Burn me a doobie,and listen to music.

d)Take a hot bath,and listen to music.

e)Eat a nice dinner,and listen to music.

f)Check the Literotica BBs,and listen to music.

g)Do some woodworking,and listen to music.

h)Grab the ol'Lady,and make our own music.

The older I get,the better it gets!"
 
I like to go grocery shopping. ***rimshot***
:D snicker snicker

But seriously - I like to grab some local coffee (don't need that fancy 'international' stuff. Guess I can't be in that Snobby Club that somebody put Expertise in) and then curl up on the couch and read some magazines.
 
I like to call my niece or we will chat on the computer, now that she has taught me how to use ICQ. She lives too far away for me to see her very often, but she always puts a smile back on my face. She is 8 & I am her favorite aunt, mostly because I have such good Barbie stuff for her to play with. I also like to come here & hang out, although with work being so busy, my online time is limited. I also have a really good friend that I go & see. She sells dolls, so I will spend an afternoon working with her, filling orders, packing & things like that. If all else fails, I take a melatonin & sleep for a few hours.
 
To recharge I like to shoot the rapids (at least class V!), jump out of a plane, free dive, rock climb, or 125 mph. on the bike. There's nothing like the extreme to get the blood flowing! After you've done all that the day-to-day shit seems pretty easy.
