It helps to actually put the freshly-ground coffee into the
coffeemaker before you run it. It says something about my current
mood shift that the first thing I did on discovering this was to start
mentally composing this post rather than cursing at my stupidity.
Point taken. What I really meant, however, was something more like "How long would this have to last before statements like 'it's probably temporary, but I'll take it' stop?" For me at least, I doubt I could enjoy this sort of thing fully if I was worrying about how long it would last, and since you probably can't change how long it will last (at least in a predictable way), it's not even particularly productive worrying.
In short, my advice is to maximize your enjoyment of it for however long it lasts. Of course, you seem to be heading in that direction anyway, so that might very well have not been necessary.
Not being depressed is, in a sense, its own reward; I'll enjoy it as much as I do, while it lasts. Whether the fact that it, like life itself, purely temporary subtracts from that enjoyment or adds to it is an unanswerable question; it is what it is.
