Redhedd beat me to it! I too cook to relieve stress, while things are simmering or baking I walk the Bratchildren, come home and eat then take a LONG bath complete with candles and smellies in the water (I tend to use gardenia but lavendar is good) while soaking I read an completely useless and inane trash mag or book. (enquirer or a harlequin romance) something that just lets your mind wander and you will find humour in. Followed by fave jammies a cup of tea or cocoa or glass of wine (depends on my mood) and stupid I don't have to follow the story line TV!

Hope this works for you too....would you like me to run the bath?
