Any distraction helps when you are enduring that kind of relentless stress. I'm using the Mama Mia soundtrack a lot myself, not that I have your kind of stress going on. I remember clearly working on a project where I started dreaming in numbers I was so stressed by the spreadsheet work. Just remember that there is an end and it is getting closer all the time. Enjoy every tool you can find to get through the tough time.

Any, yes, at least with your life being so eaten up with work you are escaping the current state of the world, or at least our country. And the terrible negativity of the election campaigns, well, one is negative anyway...
