It beat me up today

Lace? I hate lace. Who's idea was this anyway?

I was almost finished clue 1, honestly I was. I was imagining how BF would photograph the piece to best show the design, the beads. I was planning my triumphant post. Ya, well. That was then, and this is now.

All joking aside, how on earth will I manage row 5 zillion, if row 125 reduces me to a shadow of my former self?

Tomorrow is another day. Beware Mystic Waters, I am a stubborn woman.
