Hey Bunny, glad your Easter went better than expected!

I was dreading...
I feel that most of the time, we do that, and wind up with much more anxiety and pain ahead of time, vs what reality brings us. It's human nature though, so hope you can shrug it off..

I'm still plenty mad but I can't do anything about it right now, so I'll deal with it later.
Just my 2 cents on this... Well, I take that back, more like my 1/3 of my 2 cents, I think I had to pay my STBXW the other portion, but I used to do this as well, and I don't think it's good for us. Putting off your feelings for later doesn't help you in the here and now, and silently builds resentment and other crud we don't need.
What we can do, is accept how we feel at a given moment, mindfully, and that helps move through it. I work on this regularly, and it's not easy to be mindful of your current emotions and just allow them to be there...
Hugs, and Happy Easter!
