Lesson for today. Do the best you can, but once you've done everything you can, let it go. If circumstances beyond your control make it impossible to finish a task you've set for yourself, don't get all bent out of shape, fussy, cranky, whatever. Let it go.
You did your best. Be happy with that. Control what you can, and leave the rest alone. Trying to control stuff that you absolutely cannot just gets you irritated, and really peeves off the people around you. Anal Retentive Control Freak isn't always bad, but it needs to be tempered with wisdom.
Let it go, and enjoy the rest of your life.
