What's the opposite of letdown?

I usually come home from the Feast and struggle to get back into the routine of everyday life. I'm determined not to do that this year. I think I need a new phrase to be coined as an alternative to "post-Feast letdown." Something that fits with the renewed determination and excitement I had after this Feast.

post-Feast kick in the pants?
post-Feast supercharge?
post-Feast fire-up?

I haven't figured out what to call it yet, but I'm going to make the most of it while it lasts, and hopefully make it last all the way to next Feast.

Weirdness

On two of my last three runs I have been bitten by an ant. At approximately mile 5. On my neck. ?? Seriously, I am not that slow (Jonathan) that an ant could chase me for 5 miles, then climb to my neck and bite me. And this is on two different routes, so it's not like I'm running through the same ant hill. I think I only didn't get bitten on the other run because I only went 2 miles. I'm now officially afraid to run 5 miles.

Also, people all over the US are calling me worried that my car warranty is about to expire. Weird.
