I once borrowed a volume of Welty short stories from the library, and could scarcely manage my way through one of them, because, like you, I was desperate waiting for something to happen. <br />And, as you say, one's mood certainly does influence one's take on any piece of literature. Sorry to say, but my exposure to Welty's short stories has caused me to set her aside for the indefinite future.
