Frustration

ARGH D:<

Okay, so you remember how I was trying to make more earrings for the fantastic Miss Isabella Bennett…

I’ve hit a snag.

Namely, that pierced studs no longer have a flat bit I can just clip the stem off and then that stud is mine to play with… nope. They have a fucking NIPPLE on the back now for no reason whatsoever.

It basically means that I can’t glue ex-studs to the clips, any more.

I have tried everything I could think of. I’ve tried clipping that metal ‘nipple’ off. I’ve tried sanding it down. I’ve tried gluing it anyway.

All failures.

My options are either (a) give up[Not a chance], (b) muck around with hot glue gun glue and mould something to fit[Ugly as fuck, no way], or © find some other magic to aid in the conversion.

I wonder if soldering irons can help? Do they produce sufficient heat to re-mould that fucking ‘nipple’?

Farging roadblocks!

No, this is not about traffic.

I seem to be cursed to stay at or above 91.9 kilos.

I bounced back up into solid 92kilo turf, today. Grrr.

I’m so mad at myself and frustrated and tired and, to add insult to injury, my right knee has decided to join my wrists in the Painful Rheumatism Club.

Which means I more or less have to rely on diet alone on the days when it’s painful to move.
