I played roller derby until I very recently injured myself (I wasn't playing derby at the time of the injury as luck would have it), and I found that having a place to go twice a week to get out of the house made me a much better daycare provider.

Being injured made it much more difficult to chase the little ones around, so I'm hesitant to go back to the sport. What do you do? I need some ideas.

I go out to dinner with two provider friends. They really understand the job stuff plus we just have fun. We go for dinner and a little shopping once a week.

I'd like to do something else also, like a hobby, but haven't had many ideas. I found out that I'm bad at abstract painting though. My granddaughter said "How can you be bad at abstract painting grandma; it's abstract?"

I run, do yoga/meditate, ride horse, shoot bow, hunt, fish and when all else fails I knock back a glass (I lovingly call my "fishbowl") of wine

I bike every night I can. Sometimes a short ride, sometimes long - depends on how stressed I am.

Really I don't do anything to let off steam. I rarely get steamed to be honest. My patience sometimes becomes a nuisance to others lol

But things I enjoy doing are sewing and working outside.
