Doing this for posterity

[metawidget]

(and on chickcurious's open invitation, found through dzuunmod)

Five ways I de-stress:

1. Bicycle or walk. Anywhere. Best done in bad weather (either sweltering or overcast/damp).
2. Read something unrelated to whatever's stressing me (ever wonder where a bunch of my extensive store of useless knowledge comes from?).
3. Ramble to someone. Preferably over a hot beverage and/or stretched out somewhere comfortable.
4. Cook something. Without a recipe.
5. Take a hot shower. Emerge pink, tingly and clean.

I'll join in the not-tagging revolution here, but if this inspires you, go ahead.
