Worst feeling ever

So I have come to the conclusion that the worst feeling a hobbyist can ever have is as follows. I am currently at work wanting to paint some miniatures. IF that was not bad enough, the miniatures that I want to paint are 77 miles away at my parents house. Smooth move. Real smooth. Chances of going to my parents house between now and March.... wait for it..... wait for it...... ZERO PERCENT!  This would happen just when I got back to my apartment.
