Just got home an hour ago from a crazy day shift.

Showered, in pajamas, going to watch some six feet under with some tea.

How do you unwind after a long day of work?

Nah, save the Etoh for the end of the final shift of your week.

Chocolate and the Young & Restless usually does it. Then my kids wake me up to make supper.

Hahah we're not here to judge, Pepper. A glass of red wine at dinner has indicated positive health effects.

When I worked LTC, I always ended up falling asleep on my couch...sometimes in my scrubs :S

Well my first thought was

1. Bottle of Alberta Springs whiskey

2. Glass

3. Ice

Now
