Happy Wednesday Everyone! we hit the mid 20s this morning with a bright sunny sky. Hope the flurries for tonight don't amount to anything. I enjoyed my coffee earlier and tried to catch up on my notifications. I always seem to fall behind. One of my goals for today was to get a few things done before my daughter takes her lunch break. I was happily making progress. Downloaded 2 new books on my Kindle, called my insurance agent to go over my house insurance renewal which is coming up (left a message) and figured I'd spend at least 20 minutes working on my latest crocheting project (a pretty yellow & white baby blanket). I love to crochet but I tend to use that time to let my mind wander. Of course a million thoughts were going through my mind when I realized I had missed a stitch and the count was off by one silly stitch. If you knit or crochet you know that even one stitch can make the whole thing off-kilter so I spent the rest of my time trying to figure out where I went wrong and had to rip out inches and inches of my hard work. Now I'm back to where I need to be and can continue. Guess I'll have to pay more attention and count my rows more frequently. There's nothing more frustrating than having to rip out work already done. At least it's a little frustration but it gave me something to talk about here Any little frustrations in your day today?

Oh, that would really frustrate me too! I guess my frustration is just getting this magnesium to kick in. I keep trying to get my energy back, but it’s slow going.

I just knocked over my husband's soda cup that he's decided to put on the floor. Now I'm working on cleaning it up. Good thing I wear house slippers.

I'm glad you found the mistake and have it fixed, even if you did have to redo some of the work. We were cleaning up the living room when I went to get my boxknife, and it wasn't where it was supposed to be... I suspect someone used it for something and didn't put it back when they were done. (I kept it in my toolbox on the back porch.) So I'm using a paring knife to slit the tape holding boxes together so I can disassemble them and add them to the trashcan outside. If I don't find my boxknife before we go to Walmart again, we'll have to buy another one.

That to me would be as frustrating as cooking something on the stove and forgetting about it.

I'm sorry you have to go back over the same work again. But as you say, maybe you might think it will turn out OK with just one stitch missing - but it won't. My frustration today is that I just can't get over the feeling that I just want to go back to sleep!
