Currently ours is dry... Not sure why.

I also drive down to the beach for a bit on occasion or swing by the game room. Play some old school Super Street Fighter II Turbo Champion Edition.

Always get out for lunch.

Damn fine question. Working on something with your hands rather than eyes usually works I stay in front of a computer all day as well so you got to reverse it manual work such a mowing grass, working on something mechanical, cleaning the house, cooking or sex etc.

I'd do that if I could get paid enough for it.

Some of my best times were just doing manual labor jobs... There are times when I miss it.

I always hated that bullshit. It's one thing if you are getting paid for it but when i had to do stuff like that it was for 7.25 and hour.

Go to the gym.

Alternatively, go hill-walking if you leave near nice scenery - good for cardio too. Failing that, a nice long drive or reading a book usually cures my eye strains.

Not an option, unfortunately.
