1 second. :) There certainly are some frustrating times, and I even took a 20 year break from it (but not because I wasn't enjoying it). Even so, I love to play, and to have it (again) to look forward to each day. Like you, I sort of obsess over it, and I think about it a lot. It's a nice "mind break" whenever I need to be in a happy place! (During my nearly 2 decade hiatus, I'd just become disillusioned with life and obsessed with different things.)
Sometimes the learning can seem like a chore, but never the playing.
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
