\"Sometimes,<\/a>Rereading this post about a series of no good, very bad days in July of 2008 made me smile. It made me think of how my mother used to say, “This too will pass,” when I got riled out about nothing much. I hope it makes you smile, too.<\/em><\/p>\n

If my name was Alexander, I\u2019d be writing a children\u2019s book about the last few no good, very bad days. But since my name\u2019s Jolene and you\u2019re adults, I\u2019ll skip the illustrations and tell you what\u2019s been going on.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t posted to my blog the past few days because I\u2019ve been working on a big media project, and I hate media projects. Every time I opened anything, even my email, I got a nasty message saying I was dangerously low on disk space. So it was no iPhoto or iWeb until the project was done and burned on a DVD.<\/p>\n

The project was hard to burn onto a DVD, and I hate burning DVDs. My daughter helped me and after a while we both hated burning DVDs.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had two writing projects to edit. They popped up all of the sudden and had very short deadlines. I hate short deadlines. They fluster me so much I sometimes forget to save my editing. Yesterday, I forgot to save some editing and had to redo the whole thing. I hate redoing the whole thing.<\/p>\n

The weather\u2019s been really hot and humid for the last few days. I hate humidity. It\u2019s been so miserable, I\u2019ve been running the air conditioners a lot, and I hate air condiditioning.<\/p>\n

But last night, my daughter got the DVD burning to work, and I was able to trash the project and free up space on my computer. I finished both editing projects, saved and sent them. And the weather broke in the night so this morning\u2019s walk was glorious. As I walked I thought of a sunrise picture I took a few days back, before the no good, very bad stuff started. I knew I should share it with you since you listened to me whine about the no good, very bad stuff.<\/p>\n

I love sunrises. I hope you do, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
