When I have those "Calgon take me away" moments I usually head straight for the Library, get myself a few books I can immerse myself in for awhile...and then when I feel refreshed and renewed...I head back to reality and push the walls back where they belong.
I used to do the same ..but sadly now, there very rarely any new books in our library these days...and 2/3rds of the space where bookshelves were are now taken up by computers... LOADS of them, and loads of students clickety clacking all the time... not a quiet retreat any more!!
That's a shame @Holly Saunders...I guess you will just have to find a new quiet retreat...and I'm sure you will.
