Frustration!!

Have you every had one of those days/weeks. If so you'll understand where I'm coming from. I am surprised that I am not bald...I have been pulling my hair out today and the last few days, with my emails!!!! I send them and they show sent...but....they don't arrive at their destination. So my question is...which cookie monster is chomping my emails? I know it's out there just gobbling them up so show yourself and explain.

To make it worse, I tried to leave comments on several blogs today and now Blogger has joined the ban on me. It just comes up with an error code and won't post the comment. Of course it only does it after I have typed my comment...sometimes I just hate technology,lol!!

Tell me, am I suddenly persona non grata, or literally "an unwelcome person"? What did I do....or perhaps it's something I said? I have been wracking my brains for some recent misdemeanour, like shouting at my PC (yes, I have been know to do it), but I can't think of a thing.

Even Charlie is not having anything to do with me today. I committed the cardinal sin...I fed Tigger first!! Now, he'll not eat his food...how dare I feed that pesky cat before him!! So for the rest of the day I am going to keep a low profile before I get anything else wrong. Perhaps if I grovel a bit to Charlie he'll relent and at least stop looking at me with such a reproachful glare.

The good news, well for me anyway, is that I bought some new pens and had a doodle. Pens are funny things..not all doodle well, these are really great to play with. So I decided to share some of them with you. They can be used as plain doodles or you can dress them up a bit. I've included a ladybug, an ant, a butterfly, a snail and a caterpillar. The drop shadows are just for the preview.There is a basic doodle and a dressed up one of each. Personal and Commercial Use are both OK.  Enjoy!

I'm sorry to hear you're having such a bad day. You know there was a full moon/eclipse this morning[or yesterday morning in your neck of the woods:o)] Maybe that has something to do with all the techno craziness!The sun will come out tomorrow and all will be right again in cyberspace!
Cute little Doodlebugs!

A.Marie said...

I am inclined to go with elf's explanation; my computer has been going absolutely crazy and I have been going there right with it!

I wonder what solar goodies were going on in my next of the woods (Central IL)?? :)

Ann said...

I think there may be something floating in the atmosphere that's screwing everything up because I seem to be having all kinds of problems lately too, not computer so much but things just haven't been going quite right. Love your doodles, way better than what my scribbles ever look like.

I think we all go through those kind of days when things just don't go right or in my case I get super clumsy and hurt myself. Of course who hasn't had issues with the internet and email. I know I have, and boy do I ever cuss the sucker out, LOL. But alas, this is only a temporary thing -- so hand in there, tomorrow is another day!! Thanks for the doodles, I get a kick out of them and enjoy collecting them. Hugs -- xoxo! (terri - hawaii)

So sorry your day was a bad one!! I was searching all over to find out how to leave a comment then discovered I was still in my e-mail!! Anyway, thank you so much for the cute doodles!! I really love them!
Hugs!!

Unknown said...

sorry to hear that you are having a crappy day. i have had many lately, so i can sympathize with you. i just keep saying to myself..."this too shall pass". hugs to you my friend.

Kessa said...

Thank you for the doodles June. They are so cute. Hope Charlie forgives you soon - I'm sure he won't hold a grudge against you for very long.

I have trouble leaving a thank you sometimes as well and then feel guilty that I haven't been able to - if I remember I'll try at a later date as I hate not letting someone know that I appreciate their gift.

Gail Burton said...

Oooh...how could you! Feeding a cat first would be punishable by death in our house, lol! Hope your day brightens soon.

I certainly think there must be some problem in cyberspace, my computer has suddenly decided to send out some old emails I thought had been posted before Christmas!!
You can imagine some of the peculiar replies I'm receiving - I think my family believe I've totally lost my marbles!! Anyway, hopefully all will be resolved shortly for everyones sake.
Thank you for the sweet little doodlebugs (it couldn't be that some of these have escaped and caused mayhem could it?? lol - no far too cute)

makeyesup said...

Sounds like you should go back to bed, pull the covers over you head and stay that way until the day is over. Hope the rest of the day is better.

i get just as frustrated with this computer too! wish i could help!
Thank you for sharing these CUTE doodles!! sure hope your emails get straightened out! Have a WONDERFUL day! :)

Yvette said...

Hope your day gets better. Maybe the computer gods are off a little themselves. Sometimes I think there is a black hole in cyberspace that things get lost in.

Thank you so much for the very cute doodles. You have a great talent.

We just wanted to thank you for the doodles. They are wonderful and also to let you know you are not alone. Technology can be so frustrating! When it works it's great but every know it throws us a curve and simply drives us crazy. Hope things get better on your end.

Unknown said...

I've had those days June, where it seems that everything goes wrong. The good part is that they don't last. :) I hope that tomorrow is a MUCH better day for you. Love the doodles they are cute!

Dorothy said...

It happens to me as well and of course it's only after you type a wonderful comment to someone you really like.

Hope your Karma is the best ever..

tajicat said...

Sorry to hear about your bad day, I think we all have them, some days just end up that way! It was probably just something to do with the internet. I hope tomorrow is a better day. Thanks so much for the cute bugs!

suruha said...

What a cute set of doodles! Thank you!

Now, about your hair-pulling. Stop! LOL I don't know why we do that, but, I go through spells like that often. It seems like everything I touch turns bad.

Thankfully, there are also the times where everything goes smoothly. They are pretty rare. It's a balancing act, eh?

Hugs, dear lady,

Su

Those are SOO cute! Thank you!

Gabrielle said...

Hi June, I must have missed the madness, but I see you have been relegated to servant in your own home, do you think your new master might have tweaked the computer stuff (ok ok the thingymajigs) or might he who used to be obeyed have done it? it's a mystery girl LOl
Oh just spotted the word verification is Aboosers, are they trying to tell us something.
The little bugs are sweet thanks and here's a big HUG

schellie said...

thanks June for these lovely doodles, they're realy cute! You worked the frustration out so well in a positive way!

Sassy Pumpkins said...

Thanks June these are adorable! Oh poor you, it sounds like my email system too...when they used to talk about Cookie Monster when I was little it was just a blue fluffy puppet that liked eating choc. chip cookies (man does my age show?), now days the cookie mosters prefer our poor emails! Bad cookie monster, bad! lol Hope things got better for you and that you are having a much better one today! Thanks again Hun!
