This past week was one of the worst weeks I've ever had to deal with, but in a bigger sense it was not that bad. I simply felt that the weight of the world was on me -- having survived it relatively well you would think that I'd be able to handle anything that comes my way. I think it's a safe bet that I can -- within reason of course. I don't want a repeat of this week though to try my patients. One bad week this year is enough.
