You know, actually what was giving you mental block wasn’t the time away but the the experiences between. I imagine a little head scratching probably calmed you down a bit and I suspect you sorted it all out in your head once you stopped being angry.
Woodshops are good at calming people down. I like to think it’s the smell of the sawdust but it’s probably the fumes from the glue.
Keep calm.
