Exclamation How do guys/gals unwind from a trip?

Hey fellas, just curious what you guys do to unwind. For me I get home say hello to my g/f, but don't really engage in conversation becuase I need at least 1-2hrs in complete solitude . Ill grab a beer (Sam Adams Summer Ale as of late), throw on the TV, strip off the uniform, bust out the laptop and do emails, come on here f;ip through the channels. After about 2 hrs I am ok, but does anyone else get very irritated when people want to talk to you/bother you as soon as you get home from a trip..................

Ya I definitely need some solitude after getting home. My fiance always wants to talk too and ask questions and I just don't want to deal with it. So I usually end up laying down to read a little or just watching tv. Sometimes I feel like I need the rest of the day to unwind and get myself back to reality.

I don't live with anyone. And since Im a commuter, I either get home really late at night or early in the morning so the first and usually only thing I want to do is sleep. With that, i unclip my cell phone from my waist and refuse to answer my landline.

On the bus on the way to the employee lot.... I grab a shirt out of the rollaboard put it on in the car. Stop by a store pick up a 6 or 12pack depending on how bad the trip was..... Get in the house, kick off the shoes, eat dinner that's waitin on me, while I'm eatin she's gettin ready for the show, so after I eat I go get my lady who's usually waitin butt naked in the bedroom. Lay there for about 1-1.5 hours and she listens to my horror story..(although 9-10 she has no clue what the hell I'm talkin about but she listens and makes me feel good).... by then the 6pack is gone and it's time to get it on!!! 4-sometimes 6 dayz without her can be bad on the body, and she understands this. Then the other stuff....TV, Internet, company Memos, catch up on a few chores, and then to bed....
