Glad to hear the holidays have turned out better than you expected.
I seems to be common that the LBS's cycle even when things seem to be better. It's a difficult path and there are times when some kind of closure any kind of closure is what gets stuck in our minds. Just to be over one way or the other. It can be hard at times to rein those fellings in.
My thought process involves not doing anything (or at least keeping it to a minimum) if I'm angry or upset. I still haven't settled into indifference or true peace, but it does come and go. It will come for good at some point.
