I do #1 with the dishes too...thought I was the only one :) "And sometimes, I enjoy the anticipation of an event more so than the actual event I’m anticipating!" I've 100% found the same thing when it comes to launching a new website. I almost always go through a post-launch "depression". I put it in quotes because it's probably not a true depression, but just a let down from all of the anticipation and excitement that's been building for months. Couple that with the fact that the results are never ever immediate, and you go from anticipating the biggest thing ever in your life to having to deal with the reality that it'll take a good long time for it to really pay off.
