As the title suggests frustration is setting in today. Frustration in everything, even the good things. Poker went so-so over the weekend. Died in the couple of blogger games I played yet picked up a few bucks in the penny ante and nickle and dime ring games. Better yet I took a 4th in my league game, which added to the first a couple of days earlier, has expanded my lead for the month to 50 points. So why frustration? The next league game is tonight and it's the night I like to play a live game. Also tonight's game is stud, one I usually do well in. Altho the league championship gains me nothing but bragging rights it one thing I haven't been able to do yet. Been close a number of times but always a bridesmaid, never a bride. While skipping the game won't kill me a good showing could just about put a lock on it. But I like my Monday night at the Trappe. Thus frustration.
Frustration is also resulting from the stroke. While things are coming along pretty well I received a number of berry plants I ordered last summer last week. Right now they are sitting out there, bareroot, and I can't get them in to the ground. Add to the fact that today looks like a beautiful day to do some planting and again some frustration. The fact that the last time I ordered these plants a couple of years ago they arrived at the same time as 3 straight weeks of rain and thus died while I waited to plant them doesn't help. Thought I was going to get them in Sat since my nephew was off work but the rain screwed that up.
Finally the rehab. Still going well, notice the arm has a lot nore strenghth and I have a lot more control of it but now we are down to the small things and they are, of course, frustrating. Movement, strength and control in the fingers and hand, while coming along, are progressing at a much slower rate than everyhing else. While to be expected it don't mean that I like it. It's tough and, what else, frustrating. Add in the fact that I don't know if the stiffness I'm fighting in the fingers is due to the stroke and will eventually clear or from the arthritus I've had for years and will just be a major impediment the rest of the way and I'm also majorly confused.
So, all and all, it's frustrating, to which I have just added a modicum of boredom so we will say adieu for now.

Although it's only advice and advice from everywhere can be frustrating too, stick it out and keep the head up. All good things come to, and all that other crap!

Oh and if it were me, I'd figure The Trappe game will be there next week too. You've got a shot at taking the league down, so do that!

Just words, but hang in there. Frustration is a normal part of what you're going through.
I'm just sayin'.
