Decompression prep.

Post by Coat » Mon Jun 24, 2013 9:27 pm

We experience an array of feelings during exodus. Anybody have sweet setups in your default homes to top off this migration? 'bout to be my third burn, and I can't help dreaming of all those cherries on top of a grand burn.
....not sure if this fits in with other posts.

I'm giving this a nudge over to Transportation. If what you're talking about is planning for Exodus (and not just dealing with decompression), that's a better fit. Regardless, they're topics that come up fairly regularly (if you do some digging).

Well dealing with decompression does have a better fit for what I was going for, and I'd say that showers could be the most popular aspect of the return to the default world/homes. Just wondering about other ideas to make decomp. a little more blissful.

I've updated the subject to reflect Decompression to lessen the confusion, and moved the thread back to Q & A.

First year the stallion and I drove back together. Reflection and quiet time together. Easy decompression that year. I had a tough time adjusting back into the emotional wasteland of my job, but I think that was actually healthy.

Second year I had to flay back due to same job and stallion drove. Very hard decompression for the both of us. Just basket cases.

Perhaps we are too enmeshed but I don't care.

*edit to correct quite quiet quit*

Go camping somewhere green, preferably next to some water. Helps ease the transition.

I plan to prepare for decompression by compressing.

Perhaps I was not as emotionally affected by the event as some people. I felt the same sort of malaise that I feel coming back from any vacation. Maybe even a bit less as I immediately started planning for the next year.

Breathlessly trying to describe it to people, (east coast here, so a vast majority have never heard of it or know very little) also seemed to help.
