How do you "come down" from a bad day?

I have discovered that baking bread is a wonderful stress reliever for me. No machines, (other than the obvious oven needed to bake the bread in) just me, the dough and a solid surface to work on. Somehow watching that little ball of dough nothingness rise into this glorious mound of temptation begging to be baked...and pounding it back down, only to have it rise up and beg again to be baked, sets me right with the world. Crazy, but it works! Now I have to find someone to give all of this bread to.

Don't even get me started on the wonderful aroma drifting through my house as it bakes.
