They were about the only thing that were doing well. About all my reagents were ruined by a recent move, today I found out even more stuff was ruined besides more issues that need politics to be resolved. Ack. I lay awake most of yesterday night, feeling irritation build up. I have been grumpy all dayEvo said:

Yes that works, along with putting it into a low gear, and hunkering down for a long cruse. I try really hard not to be upset by things I have no personal control over. Some times I half to leave my building, sit in my car and put on the radio, and shrug it off.
Hope your week gets better.

You're lucky you're just frustrated. I've been feeling quite agitated for nearly 24 hours now, and I have no idea why.
