I know our sessions at Grimmauld and our meeting were two large steps forward, but I can't help but get the impression that we've made several steps back in the process. I'm fighting upstream against a bad first impression on one side, and a group that is slow to change on the other.

It's frustrating to see that things are going wrong, and try to fix it, and then see it not work.

Or get worse.

And even more frustrating than that is to have no bloody idea what I could do that I haven't already been doing, and what I've been doing hasn't worked.
