like night and day

yesterday's rashi went just fine, in case you were wondering.  all 24 of them.  the ones i chose were not difficult.  a lot of it is mindset.  when she has to do more than she expects, she gets extremely upset.  i've noticed this before.  my method is usually to just gently power through.  i sometimes try to prepare her emotionally, but i haven't really seen that help.  there might be other techniques.  but it doesn't come up that often these days for me to apply strategic thought to the issue.
