It’s all sort of nebulous.

Sounds like there was a bit of a swing, but nothing too serious. You picked some pretty good indicators, but as you noted, there's also the change of seasons bringing on new moods.

Your particular brand of humor (pragmatic? deadpan?) just cracks me up -- you always get it.
