Understand completely. In my case it was hurt at the loss, and anger at what they did. I stayed home for two days hoping that they'd come back. Unfortunately, (or maybe fortunately for me) they didn't.

I also think I understand the conflicting emotions you're going through right now. In the time preceeding the break in at my home, I had been anxiously (and beilieve me that's an extreme understatement) awaiting news on whether or not I'd be nominated as an MVP. Of course, I'd come home every day and check my email in the hope of hearing something. The day the break-in occurred, I didn't bother. Next the day, I log-in here and find a post to me from Cetin titled "Relax" and congratulating me. He and I and Gonzo were all awaiting the news at the same time. When I saw that, I immediately logged off and checked my email. Sure enough, there was the nomination. So I think I can emphathize with what you might be going through right now.

Congrats and condolences again.
