Anyone who has ever been through a trauma can attest to the fact that when you're in the midst of it, all you crave is a "normal, boring day'. It's easy to be bored when you're cooped up in the winter.  Boring is bad. And then the power goes out.  For days.  And days. Isn't it weird how a nice, average day like today can feel so good when you're back to your routine?
