Warm Bath, Cold White Wine

My daughter was home for four days  – then off again.  My cure for renewed empty nest blues – crazy cardio class, chilled white wine in warm bubble bath, and self-tanner.  I’m working on same principle of the scientifically proven theory that smiling – whether you feel  happy or not – actually improves your mood.  I’m assuming self-tanner will make me feel I spent weekend in Hamptons not doing said daughter’s multiple loads of laundry. Other cures?
