Professional Patient: Be Kind to Yourself after an Appointment

I actually go one step further -- during the school year, I schedule one or two appointments together -- usually ending with my CDE in the afternoon, because no matter how bad things have been, she's always on MY side.

Then I take the whole day off and take myself out to lunch. Nothing is a better treat for a teacher than real lunch with adults in the room and someone serving you. In other words, don't go to a buffet!
