What do you do to unplug?
Just curious to know what everybody does to unplug from your day.
I know for me I go in a couple hours early to my full-time job so I can take an extended run over my lunch.
But that's just unplugging for the sake of my fitness. I guess I'm curious to know what folks enjoy doing.
I love going and finding new spots to eat and drink. My family in the city loves to support local too so they're constantly looking for new places to check out.
I don't drink anymore, but I'm happily the DD every time. Personally, I love to unplug doing anything woodworking, especially wood turning.
Would love to hear what you do....

Mine are two rescues. A pomeranian spaniel mix and a maltese who the heck knows mix. I've been involved in rescue for over 30 years now and have had more than a few great dogs as a result. I'm blessed.
Hooch sounds great, interesting mix.1 -
List time!
- Crochet
- Knit
- Play Magic Arena (card game)
- Read a book
- Netflix and chill (in the literal sense, not in the weird Millennial lingo sense)
- Rarely, I draw.

Work days I come home and sit for a bit and enjoy the quiet, maybe have a drink, then shower, go for a walk and listen to music if I can, come home and read.
Weekends and days off, I like to sleep in, even if I can't sleep, just lay and think (until it turns bad), then I have a cup of tea and "window shop/price compare" for a bit, ideally go for a run and then clean.
I like to cook a nice dinner on my days off. Manicure, hair treatment...make myself feel "pretty".
Evenings are the same...enjoy quiet, go for a walk and listen to music and read. Sometimes watch a movie.
Friday nights I try to buy myself a "treat". Lately it's been some tabouli salad from one of the fancy grocery stores...livin large!6 -

Wow! That's a great list. I know several that crochet. It's pretty amazing to see what they create.....and knitting, that's kind of other level to me.
Glad to hear there are still many who pass that on. Good for you!
Oh, and what's Magic Arena?0 -

It's no joke. Watched my grandmother for years as a kid and was like "Yeah, ok.....". I'm a programmer by trade but she was working that thread like nobody's business and I sometimes couldn't follow her if I tried to even watch to see her method.
It's a skill, there's no doubt, but I'm sure you could do it. 😀1 -
Reading, listening to music (live or otherwise), play with my kitties, talk with my husband1

I like to go for long hikes, listen to music really loud, & have some edibles2

I'm self-admittedly not a big reader, so props to you and all who are.
Love going to concerts....just took the kids to the 8 yr-old's first concert.....Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Three Days Grace......it was fantastic.
Really glad to hear your last one......that's an awesome thing to have.
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing!1 -

Nothing like hiking a hard trail! Gets the blood flowing, heart racing, invigorating!!
I’m obsessed with music!! I have it on about 75% of the time! The louder the better- that way you can actually feel it..lol...
