Yes, I also tend to ruminate on this stuff for a very long time (another kind of "stuck thinking" I guess, like that thread BethRags had a while back). And it has happened multiple times throughout the year, so I've pretty much been ruminating all year. It's exhausting. Beating the crap out of my house is pretty much exactly what I want to do. I probably would have if I were living alone. Trying not to let the bastards win is good advice. I try to tell myself they're being punished enough just by being the bastards they are.
