Frustration

Like so many others, I easily become frustrated.  Even when there is a simple fix for the situation at hand.  It is almost like I enjoy being in a constant state of frustration, but I definitely do not.

While cutting fabric today, my rotary cutter didn't want to cut through the four layers of fabric that has become my template for quick pieces.  The easy solution was to unfold my fabric and cut two layers, which the rotary cutter could easily handle, instead of four.  I, however, decided to try to force the rotary cutter to cut through the thick wad of fabric anyway, which only served to frustrate me more because, of course, it didn't work.

DUH SAM!!!!

Then I received a call from my boyfriend who decided to tell me he would rather go to Charlotte with his room mate than to have dinner with me.  That only made it worse.  That actually made me really angry.

So I decided to break for a moment from fabric squares and inconsiderate men in order to fight the waves of frustration that had begun to wash over me.  Looking back, I only had about 4 hours of sleep last night.  For some reason I didn't go to sleep until after 4:30 a.m. and then I woke up at 8:44 a.m. to take my dog, Blue, out and couldn't go back to sleep.  Then I had to cut the grass in this ridiculous heat because family is coming over this evening.  

And of course I have a migraine to go along with this whole thing.  LOVE those.....

So I think I'm going to take a break from technology and read for a while.  Maybe nap.  When I feel calmer, I will return to my rotary mat and cutter.  Until then, Au Revoir.
