It's a source of frustration only because I want to work on it and I find little time available.
In that sense it has become a source of stress in my life. I enjoy the challenge and the time I spend on it.

Funny, as I got older I figured I'd have more free time as the kids moved out on their own. Instead, aging parents, financial
challenges, some family crises, and work have sucked me dry of energy and time.
To top it off, this Spring I had my thyroid removed due to cancer. I'm doing fine but, it's hard to get my replacement thyroid meds adjusted properly. The net of all this is my energy level has taken a big hit. After work, I find I just don't have the energy to go down to the basement and start working on the 'yak. I'm doing well. It's just a life adjustment I have to make.
I have to pick and choose what I can do now during any free time.

OK, I'll stop complaining now. : )
