occasionally, there might be a day, or series of days all in a miserable streak, where everything falls apart.
sometimes the sewing machine that has been happily and faithfully sewing through leather all its life decides it's like, SO over sewing through leather and you spend hours upon hours trying to gently coax it back into working properly.
sometimes, after the aforementioned stressful hours, you throw things in your sewing room.
sometimes, you decide to take a break from sewing to dye a bear suit for the children's Christmas pageant at church. YES, THAT'S IT, DYE THE BEAR SUIT. THAT WILL BE RELAXING AND SIMPLE.
sometimes you regretfully realize that you cannot reliably dye a bear suit all one color of brown for the children's Christmas pageant, and should probably never be depended upon to do anything important ever again.
sometimes your iPod battery dies in the car and you have to drive all the way to West Bend (read: North Pole), listening to music on the radio. (HORROR OF HORRORS.)
sometimes you spend your last $10 bill on tipping your lovely hair stylist, only to realize the donut shop only takes cash. (sometimes you hold up a line full of hungry octogenarians at the donut shop while you write out a check for $2.95. )
sometimes you wait in line for 20 minutes only to have Starbucks serve you poison, masquerading as a chai latte with a shot of espresso, and make it through a very difficult series of traffic obstacles before realizing it, only to have to turn around and complete the challenge all over again.
some times are just hard times.
sometimes, it's good to know that someone is for you, and not against you.

maybe that was Jesus' way of saying he doesn't want a bear beside his manger.
jk.
hope your machine starts running well again!
I hope today is better.
I will point out that it might have been a good thing that you spent your last $10 on the hair stylist's tip... It *should* have prevented you from getting that doughnut. :)
it wasn't for me! it was for Adam! i swears!!
(though, i might have had a bite. or two.)
