Rise and Shine on Aug 1 (you can only do what you can do and today you’ll discover that that’s more than enough), Aug 2 (it’s not every day when you’re given a fresh start or a reprieve. Make the most of it), Aug 4 (a heartfelt pursuit that was put on the back burner last March is now front and center), and Aug 7 (let others change their positions if they want. Your sights are fixed on the payoff that lies further down the road)

Duck and Cover on July 31 (call time out.  Mulling over the situation in separate corners stops you from rehashing the same argument), Aug 3 (you were asked to fill in on a temporary basis and now it’s time to pass back the reins. You’ll be in the driver’s seat again one day), Aug 5 (an adversary offers you an out.  Yours isn’t the strongest bargaining position so take it), and Aug 6 (you always knew you’d have to work hard for the money, but your current schedule is ridiculous)
