This Monkey has been a very naughty little monkey.
Tuesday night I did the short row heel. And then 10 rounds of the pattern after the heel. And everything was going great.
Until.
I put it on. And realized I forgot to "unwrap" one of the short row wraps, which, to put it bluntly, means I left out TWO ROWS during the heel.
Now, that doesn't sound like it's all that bad. The heel closed, it went together beautifully, and no one would ever notice. But I would. Because right there at that diagonal line where the short rows line up and the sock changes from being on the ankle to being on the foot? Yea. Too tight.

A LOT more yarn came out of the sock, along with a lot of choice words.
I'm so mad at myself for this. That's the last time I'll knit late at night with little sleep.
Edited to add:
Everything's good now. Monkey and I have made up and there's a shiny new short row heel (and some pattern rounds) where there once was a pile of crinkled yarn.
And best of all, it fits perfectly this time.

Bad monkey! Ugh...I feel for you. Ripping back on a sock (or anything in progress, in the round) is never fun. At least you caught it relatively early. Here's sending you good vibes for the reknitting!
I don't wrap my short rows, but instead do a YO type short row method. Glad you got it all worked out, though!
