Sod that.
Two games tonight, shouldn't have shown up for either given the range of my effect on the outcome.
Replays might tell me I made mistakes - tomorrow should inform - but right now I feel the evening shat upon by bad dice. Losing is expected, but the perceived manner of these hurts; it would be funny were I in any other mood, so I blame myself for being so absurd as to think to try and relieve stress by playing.

abandon yourself to the dice, and enjoy whatever may come
let's face it, this is a dice game, and sometimes you roll all 1s... may as well laugh at it

I think your final comment hits the nail on the head.
I find myself that when I play while stressed out I position really badly and tend to reroll non essential blocks. Then of course you get turnovers that feel like bad luck, but are not.
I'm having one of those streaks right now, and they happen. Just remember to try not to take out your stress on your opponent. (I know that's hard)

Yeah - I hope that in neither case I made things un-fun for my opponents, neither of whom were bad to play against.
Laughing (at least outwardly) at bad dice is indeed the approach I try to take and clearly I need more practice :D
