Victory is sweet after tasting defeat. Ok, I made a clever
  rhyme. That doesn't help things, I suppose. I blame August. Not
  my favorite month of the year, this one particularly so. It does
  get better, and sometimes it gets worse but either way it's
  worth sticking through it. The more practice you get with rough
  weeks, the more you can anticipate the unexpected and become
  stronger at dealing with the randomness of things, until a rough
  week suddenly is smooth, because you're prepared for the
  randomness.
