What is your favorite thing to do at lunch if you had a stressful morning?

[spasmo]

After thinking about the last few weeks at work I was wondering what y'all do at lunch if you had a stressful morning.
Do you go to lunch with friends? Do you do some quick "retail therapy"? Anyone for "primal screams" in their car while riding around? Do you sing along to your favorite CD in the car? Do you go somewhere serene like a park? Do you exercise?


I realize that my favorite bead shops have seen me a lot the last few weeks...

What do you do to re-set your mood and get ready for the afternoon?

I have to get away. Usually the beach (1/2 mile from work) or just sit in my car and read. I usually bring a book for breaks and lunch and it's good for me to take my mind some where else.

When I have a stressful morning at work, I skip lunch and go to the tanning bed. Relax and re-engerized for the afternoon shift.

Weather permitting I go for a 1/2 hour walk ...

I usually eat at my desk, but there have been days where lunch stays in the fridge and I eat in the food court just to get away. Usually my coworker joins me...or I join her. Since we work closely, we usually both need to get away. Sometimes I'll get a call from a friend in another tower in the complex about going out for lunch...we usually plan to go out occassionally but when it is a last minute call I know she needs to get away for a bit.

If it's after lunch, there is always going down to the food court for ice cream or popcorn, Coffee Beanery or Starbucks.

I hate to admit it, but I like to watch my SOAP...One Life to Live...I get so in to it that I forget about anything that has gone on that day! LOL I know, I know... :)

Nothing wrong with some guilty pleasures!

No matter how stressed I get food always seems to calm me down. If it is a Tues. or Thurs. I go to Great Harvest Bread Co. and get a slice of cinnimon crunch bread and if it is a really bad day I also buy a loaf and just munch away.

This is also how I stay so soft and fluffy.

When I've had a really hard morning at work, I'll run out & grab some new nail polish, facial mask, something that I can look forward to trying that afternoon when I get home from work! Just something little to get my mind off of things! lol : )

I hear you Blondgrl... I just LOVE the restorative power of OPI nail polish!
