For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> I have 3&#8243; of 8&#8243; of a chain maille bracelet (custom order) done which was hours of frustration. And now, I find after getting the first three inches done, I cannot for the life of me get it to work any further. It keeps just not laying right when I add the next section to it. Seriously, it&#8217;s like the pattern suddenly doesn&#8217;t work and I&#8217;m tired of fiddling with it.<\/li>\n<p><BR><\/p>\n<li> I&#8217;m working on a new pair of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.phoenixfiredesigns.com\/blog\/2010\/10\/stunning-gold-vermeil-peridot-gemstone-dangle-earrings\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bali-inspired Gold Vermeil and Peridot Earrings<\/a>&#8230;and I have one done but I&#8217;m getting annoyed at the fiddly bits of wrapping the <small>tiny, tiny<\/small> wire around itself to make the dangle.

It&#8217;s just really fiddly and requires me to really pay attention and I just don&#8217;t have it in me.<\/li>\n<p><BR><\/p>\n<li> I started another blog entry today going on about some of Love&#8217;s on-going medical issues but I found I just didn&#8217;t feel like going through all the details so I wound up saving it as a draft instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I think what this all boils down to is that I just have no patience or tolerance of detail work today. I just can&#8217;t focus enough on things to get them properly done. I&#8217;m just kinda irritable and annoyed at everything today because none of it seems to want to go to plan. (I even had to make a major substitution with dinner tonight when the first ingredient item refused to cooperate.)<\/p>\n<p>In other words&#8230;even though it&#8217;s a Tuesday, it&#8217;s been a Monday sorta day. I think I&#8217;m going to give up and try again tomorrow. Maybe I&#8217;ll find my motivation and focus then instead because it sure as Hell ain&#8217;t here tonight. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phoenixfiredesigns.com\/stuff\/emoticons\/jaded.gif\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I keep starting projects today but I find I just can&#8217;t focus enough to finish them.
