it's frustrating

 Life is full of frustrations.  Not heart breaking tragedies, just inconveniences in the pleasant routine of ones day.  For example, loosing a very close game of Mexican Train, which happened to me this evening.  But yesterday my spouse and I encountered one of the worst.  I exaggerate of course but I know you will sympathize when you see our plight. 


Take a good look at this 1000 piece puzzle that we finished yesterday.  Can you spot our frustration?  By the way, the blue boarder is not part of the puzzle.  If you've looked closely I'm sure you've spotted it - one missing piece.  Believe me we searched.  We shined our handy phone flashlights on every inch of carpet for a large distance around the table in all directions.  We searched the wrappings that the puzzle came in, and every possible place we could think of and some impossible places.  It wasn't lodged somehow in the hanging light fixture.  It hadn't got dropped into my yarn basket. It was nowhere.  We have finally concluded that it was never sent with the puzzle.  Somewhere someone has put together a duplicate of our puzzle and found that they have one extra piece.  

I'm happy for them.
