Not horrified but it does take some time to get back to the state of mind you were in when you wrote it originally. Currently working through this right now, actually. Going back and writing unit tests to remember all the methods I wrote six months to a year ago.

Yes, getting back to the same state of mind can take a while. I think as long as you can get into the state of mind, the code is probably okay.

I often work on diverse parts of projects, so I get this even day to day jumping between the parts.
