Thanks for the replies. They are helping me feel a bit better, so I'm going to try to get some sleep and face this with a fresh set of eyes in the morning.
I'm not actually sure that I have a good outlet. I am a bit of an amateur chef and like to cook Indian and Southeast Asian cuisine. I also am studying Mandarin Chinese. These are things I really enjoy but I'm not sure they are the type of outlets you are describing because they can have their own stresses and challenges. I don't think I have any real "down time" outlets so you have some good ideas that I think may be helpful for me to consider.
