Three things

1. The sudden lifting of a multi-year depression: awesome. Actually awesome does not even begin to describe it.  I had no idea that this was possible without chemicals, but here you have it.

2. However, due to the ongoing divorce proceedings, I am behind on pretty much everything all at once.

3. Unconnected: I wanted to mention this proverb to people currently engaged in a certain discussion. It is Turkish and therefore widespread throughout the historical territories of the Ottoman empire: 

it ürür kervan yürür
'the dogs bark, but the caravan continues'
