What do you do to relax, chill-out un-wind and de-stress besides chatting with other freepers?
Helpful tips thread...
Maybe...I just designed my dream bathroom and made it happen. Got the entire backyard and wildlife in this big bathroom when I want it.
Another relaxer is cleaning the pool. It's silent, methodical, calming work. Believe it or not.
I like mowing the yard.
mowing the yard? Now that is a strange technique for relaxing.
Rather, I like to relax and watch someone else mow my lawn.
What's relaxing is looking at the result of working in the yard - a well-attended, neat lawn and yard.

I relax by working. I veg out at times but yard work is theraputic for me.
laying back and looking up through the pine trees...listening to the wind rustling the pine limbs...watching the hawk soar thrugh the sky...the squirrels, the birds, the clouds floating by.
I can do this... yes I can.
no, silly...hubby likes to terrorize the squirrels with a b-b gun. I don't mind that, but we do not shoot hawks - or any other bird for that matter.
here's another one: sipping a beer on the beach, my toes dug deep in the sand, watching the world go by.
That's my fav.
Well, let's see...
I create and test a variety of recipes involving toenail clippings. Some of them are quite delicious.
I have a vast collection of mattress tags that say "DO NOT REMOVE - FEDERAL OFFENSE."
I weave clothing out of cat hair during shedding season. Sweaters, scarves, stuff like that.
I spy on my neighbors and put out a weekly newpspaper telling all the dirt on them.
Other than that, I just goof off.
like hell you goof off, missy. I know better. When do you come home, anyway?
Late summer, so I can go to a Texans game AND an Astros game.
I'm going on vacation around early May, but going to either England (I have a sister there) or Egypt. I guess I can say I'll go to some country that starts with an "E". I've got to protect the ol' tax break.
Or, who knows? One day, I might just wake up and say "What the hey...I've been here long enough. I'm going home." ;-)
Go to Egypt! I've always wanted to go...and whenyou come home, you must let us know... .
Stop me if I've told you this before . . . Egypt is an instant remote-control stopper for us. Whenever we see camels, pyramids, or mummies, we have to watch whatever the program is.
I have enough coffee table books on Egypt that I could build a coffee table out of 'em.
I would LOVE to go there someday!
BTW, you must let me know how you learned to knit cat hair. I can't even knit with regular wool. Do you make long threads out of the hairs, or do you just use teensy little knitting needles?
Someone say Egypt? Me too! or Morroco or Turkey or....
I have a think for camels, mummies and very old stuff too ;)
Drink at my Knights of Columbus Bar and argue politics.
Sometimes I clean house and cook but hardly enough to mention.
