Tangled Mess

I think of this as sort of a companion piece to my entry from the 12th. Just a chance encounter that seemed an apt metaphor to sum up my day. Once I get this thing untangled I'll stick it in my ears and play some inconsequential blather to help me fall asleep. 

To be clear, the entire day was not miserable. It had its frustrations, small accomplishments, minor meltdowns, sweet moments, and near misses -- just all of them tangled up in a big mess.
