Well, not to encourage the party side or anything but I'll tell you, one thing that would get my head to clear for a bit there during the rougher months was when the kids weren't home, I'd treat myself to dinner and few drinks of choice (nothing overboard) just a casual night out on myself.

Hang in there.
