Hey buddy. I'm sorry. It's a bummer. I think when we are in the thick of it, there is this high energy that keeps us fueled. Then when things settle down--with or without them back--we eventually reach a place of despondency or a dull numbness.
Blu,
There's something to that. I found that I so thoroughly enjoyed kicking @ss that when there was no more @ss to kick I either had to stir up trouble or find something to do to take the edge off.
