Ok, may-be I shouldn't post this the day before Thanksgiving, but feeling a little stressed about tomorrow's meal prep etc.,  perhaps expounding a bit will release some of the anxiety.

 

What frustrates me...no sooner then I clean or wash something, DH husband dirties it.  It can be the bathroom, kitchen table, stove top, crumbs on the floor.  Its like running around after a three year old.

 

Another thing that irks me about myself is not being able to understand how to achieve certain tasks or functions on my laptop or cell phone.   I am far from being dumb and can follow directions, but just get so frustrated when I can't get "a machine" to do what I want it to do.  

 

Well I guess if I only have two frustrations I am lucky.  

 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

@Allegheny   I feel ya'........................BUT, please know, it's exaggerated reaction because the stress from the holiday prep.  Please try to stop, take a few deep breathes and exhale slowly.  Remember..."this, too, shall pass" has been a good mantra for me.  That, and trying to keep my mouth shut when I know I'm tired and stressed.  Still working hard on the last one almost weekly.

What frustrates you?  Mostly me.  I am generally the root of my frustrations.

Good one @Marp!  I certainly find that a lot of my frustrations are based on my own expections of myself.

I get frustrated waiting in line to check out (dept. stores, food stores, etc.) when there are many other registers, but just no one to open them. 🤔

Housework frustrates me.  It is boring and never done.
