Specializes in geriatrics.

Lots of sleep, a hot bath, and food.

I also enjoy cooking and planning my meals. Watching old movies is another de-stressor for me.

A hot shower, my bed, and the fan on.

Fan on= better than s*x?/////

I eat ice cream or if I am particularly famished, a burger that is fit for a king or queen.

Moscato,good sex, chick fil a for breakfast.

Ahhhahah thumbs up to the above. Love it

I crave french fries after a bad night (probably b/c I have starved most of the shift). So I go to McDonald's hoping for some fries and a fish filet and then they tell me that it's breakfast and they don't have those items until 11am. Then I am sad and drive home in despair.

Lol, exaggerating a little.

Specializes in ER, progressive care.

After a very tough week, I have rewarded myself with a nice pedicure or even a nice Swedish massage. I don't do this all of the time, though, maybe once/month.

Go out for breakfast with my coworkers after we get off work...maybe have a margarita or beer ;)

Otherwise, a nice hot shower, fan on, and SLEEP.

I lay in bed and do absolutely nothing. I get to a point where I actually debate if I should get up and go pee or just wait, because that would include getting out of bed....and that just sounds like something I can do later.
