Talking to myself, I gave The Big Kahuna a half-hearted insult and forgave Him in the same breath, then promised myself to come earlier next time. I took comfort in the thought that although I'd been skunked, I wasn't going to Hell. I found a broken bucket and reminded myself that we must make the best we can of whatever cirumstances we find ourselves in. I put the bucket in the trash but salvaged the rusty handle to use on a handle-less bucket at my house. At least this session wasn't a total loss.
Life's like that sometimes.
I hurried home to get some work done.
