Do you ever feel frustrated?

As you know, I set several goals for myself yesterday. I did not have to work, so I got a bunch of projects going. The main one was getting my stereo working right. I did not succeed. One channel sounds great, but the other is dead. I am frustrated. But at least I am in problem-solving mode. The working channel sounds great. I will try to focus on that. Do you ever feel totally frustrated?

I feel frustration quite a bit. Being in my 70s my body isn't as strong as it used to be. And I have trouble with my memory. Those two things cause me some frustration. I hope you get that other channel working right.

@celticeagle Exactly! As the psychologists say, we don't lose memories; we lose"retrieval cues."

Not totally frustrated. Just irked sometimes. Although today, after holding for 50 minutes to speak to a council official I was almost at really pissed off stage

Heh. At 50 minutes, I generally hit the "a tad miffed" stage.

It happens that I feel frustrated, usually if I do not arrive to do what I planned to do.

Hope you’ll be able to figure it out. I hate it when stuff doesn’t work the way it should.

I did some problem-solving today. At least I think I know exactly where the issue is now.

These days I can seldom finish a work I decide to do because of my two pet dogs. So I take a decision but let go if I can't finish. No use feeling frustrated.

Are they projects you can do "a little bit at a time," like my coasters?

Yes, and when I get frustrated with myself it’s not pretty. Kudos for getting part of it done, at least.

That's a good frustration though. You can control it and fix it. Its the frustrations that do not allow us to do our Godly work that get in our way because you do not live like them. That's a whole other level of frustration.

Those who do "unGodly" works and do not face consequences frustrate me.

I reckon you have set it right.You are more than capable of dealing with it if you make up your mind to do it.

At least I have a plan for my next "test." I am trying to isolate the problem so I can solve it.

Sometimes. I felt quite peckish yesterday when cousin #3 canceled on me again. I had a lot of things for her to do.
