Kate,

Thank you. You happened to comment on one of my favorite passages in the whole article.

It's strange, when you're writing -- the things that resonate with you as the author don't always resonate with the audience, and a lot of people overlooked this paragraph. But for me it is the core of what a bad day is; I feel like everything is turning along the way it should be, but for some reason everything has become more fragile and easily broken.

I'm glad you enjoyed the passage (and hope that you enjoyed the rest of the article as well). Thank you for taking the time to comment, as well; it is always appreciated.

Best wishes,

J
