Dont be so hard on yourself.....leave that up to others, if they can justify their criticism , otherwise tell them to take a walk!
Actually, I was the one to take a walk. I have a torn calf muscle that has been bothering me for ages but, as I've been doing a lot more walking while away in Yorkshire and the pain hadn't got any worse, I thought I'd deliver some tablets and cough sweets to my mother to see how my leg felt. I got to within a mile of my mother's when I discovered I'd forgotten to pack what I'd gone off to deliver. I'd only had to sit down 3 times to let the pain subside. So, anyway, I walked back and arriving home found that I had actually packed the stuff but in a pocket in my rucksack that I rarely use.

As I say, useless!

I've done similar, many times.
 
Was a long and strange task with soil, compost, coarse sand, horticultural perlite and gravel from 11:45 until 15 minutes ago. The neighbours cats came round to watch for a while, my lot stayed out of the way for most of the day, they know when I don't want to be bugged.
My neighbour popped by to ask if I wanted a lift with it, no thanks I said, he offered me the use of his bétonniere (cement mixer to you) and I declined, I mixed 2400 litres soil mixture by hand in a 50L bucket, ever the Spartan.
My patio looks like a fly tipping incident, I'll sort it in the morning. There are ways of squaring up to loss, I found one of them.
