I'm in that space of living in chaos right now. Lots of change in multiple areas and I am instrumental in pushing that change in both, well, I am the face of the change, though it is driven or funded by others.
It is funny how different people handle stress in times of change. Lots of talking around issues, lots of finger pointing, they didn't do it.
Most times, if I can get people onto a phone call, or get them talking, we can find a good solution, and what was thought to be a negative situation is not as bad as thought before.
This last week there was a group that was not coming to the table. They wouldn't respond to emails, chats or work. They are burnt out, overwhelmed Yet the demand hasn't changed and we aren't going away.
Lo & behold, the s*** hit the fan this week, when it got high enough at risk, then they had to come to the call.
I don't understand people. They presumed they knew what was going on, and didn't. They refused to talk.
I have the same situation in a different environment. It is challenging.

i have wonderful people on the team to laugh it off. I have a good friend, who is the ying to my yang , together we are a dynamite team, and he just joined our team. I am so thankful. I can hand off items to him without any sense that i have to be engaged. He does the same to me, we know how to fire on items, and we can kncok them off without ego.
I also have another person who I brought onto that work team, who is also a strong reliable person, and today, he knocked off some tasks that will help us show we are making progress.
So, there are good items.
Ditto on the volunteer side.
The challenge is with those who build walls in times of stress instead of communicating more. the finger blaming, the presumptions. I get the human desire to hunker down, but, it is so counter productive.

I spent the whole day making meatballs and freezing them. I know that's not a big deal....but it's the first time I've ever done this. We were given about 10 pounds of ground pork and I had to do something with it, so I mixed it with beef, googled a 5 star recipe, and there went my day. Lots of pasta and meatballs in our future.

We use ground pork a lot in Mrs. M's Chinese cooking so I imagine we would have just broken it up into smaller portions and frozen it. Your approach sounds goods, though. I love meatballs and we don't really eat them much. We haven't even had "lion head", a type of Chinese meatball using pork and ground shrimp, for a long time.

Will you be getting busy in the kitchen now that you have remembered that great dish?
Are you speaking of "M" or nigh Mrs. 'M' ...

Mendella -- breaking it up would have been my preference. My husband actually helped butcher the pig and the meat was a gift. But it was delivered all in one huge bag, which my husband put into the freezer immediately. By the time I knew about it, it was frozen rock solid. So, I'm on my own this weekend, and thought it might be a worthwhile project. Note: I don't knit, or write or do anything creative. So this is considered a project to me. And living in a city with a large percentage of Italians, pasta and meatballs is everyone's go-to recipe.
Not creative ????????? From one proven by action to be priggishly so and the pig was turen'd into ... bales of things to be noodled over ...

I'm feeling a bit stressed. Baack to work tomorrow as spring break ends and I feel like I have too many things on the go. Hockey billets return Tues/Wed. A student starts with me Mon at work. Wed. lecture an lab at the local college-that I'm doing, Fundraiser coming up for my trip to India-time to book flight, get visa check into immunizations, birthday gifts to mail out6tablecloths to finish for my sisters wedding (have sewn 12). Nothing by itself is huge just being pulled many ways. So today I stayed home from church...
Pulled many ways ... God's ankh ... that deeper sensation ...
When I'm stressed, when I have 'to much to do,' I find it still really helps to take time out to be with others worshipping God. Corporate worship is one of the top priorities in my life.
