Which part was subtle beast activity?
When you first got home you weren't fresh and energized and your beast was telling you that you were tired and stressed. You were really tired and stressed. I don't see any beast activity in recognizing that you were tired and stressed.
Later, if your beast was trying to tell you that you should soothe yourself with a little vino (it wasn't clear to me from your post if that's how it went down) then that was obviously el beasto grande rearing his ugly voice.
Anyway, good job on staying badass for another day. Get a massage for that stress. They are wonderful.
