Spent 2 hours drawing a cat that looked like a potato with fur

I was half asleep at 2 AM and tried to sketch my cat Mittens from memory, ended up with this lumpy creature that somehow has five legs in the drawing. Took me another hour of erasing and redrawing before I gave up and just added googly eyes to make it a funny monster. Has anyone else spent way too long trying to fix a bad drawing that just got worse?

Watched my friend Sara try to fix a portrait of her dog for three hours. Every time she fixed one eye, the other one would shift and the nose would slide sideways. She finally just drew a speech bubble that said "I'm a abstract art now" and hung it on her fridge.

Oh, your friend Sara is my kind of people. I spent a whole afternoon trying to paint my cat once and ended up with something that looked like a fuzzy potato with ears. She did better than me, at least the speech bubble made me smile. There's something nice about knowing when to just call it done and let the art win.
