Frustrated

I am trying to do a project and nature is working against me. Nothing is working out correctly. I cannot find picture albums that I have seen every day for 30 years, They have left their usual spot and are in hiding until they want to be found again. Chemicals that I have mixed to perfection for the past few days are not mixing correctly today. It is as if this project is not destined to be. I am silently being told to abandon the project for now, until it is the correct time to try again.
