Frustration

Today has been frustrating on so many levels.  At the top of the list was a home renovation project I've been working on.  Today, all I had to do was to hang curtains: put up two rods and hang the curtains.  Unfortunately, home improvement projects have a way of never being as simple as they initially appear to be.  At least for me.  This one luckily didn't require any trips to Home Depot, but something that should have been simple and taken a very short period of time has taken me all day (off and on) -- and the curtains still aren't up yet!

The thing I've noticed is that, despite the many frustrations of the day, I am still in a relatively good mood.  And there were no tears.  I have no explanation but I will look at this as proof that perhaps, for the time being, I have become a bit more emotionally stable.  I'm not confident enough to think that this is a permanent state, but it's certainly a nice change to be able to face a mountain of frustrations and maintain a calm demeanor and a dry eye.

I am hoping that tomorrow will see the successful end of the curtain debacle, preferably without any more setbacks.  I don't see any solutions in sight for the other frustrations, but I'm not going to let that get me down.  Not today.
