post-field crash
I may as well own up to it... I've been not just stressed, but fighting depression on-and-off for a few days. Not terribly sociable, and I've had my selfish and antisocially insular moments. I need to apologize to several people I've hurt in the meanwhile.
Reasons? I don't know... every time in the past few years that I return to mundane reality at home after a long trip testing something in a faraway place, I seem to get cranky and depressed about 3-5 days afterward. That, plus this time I received three different rejections of various social sorts from individuals, clustered in the same 5 days after I returned from the field, giving me ample fodder to beat up on myself. And take it out on those nearer and dearer... sigh. My bad.

It's really unfortunate that all your long stretches of travel happen so close together, although I know there's not much you could've done to change the scheduling. If you can swing it, i think you should take a few days off work after you get back from Japan and give yourself some time to ease back into things here; maybe it will help to not have to worry about dealing with all the accumulated work issues on top of trying to get used to being back at home.
