ALMOST MID JUNE

My, My, My how time flies.  I am not sure how it goes by so quickly and why I still seem to have tons of projects that I want to work on but never seem to get to them.  I have just had a few stressful days (don't you just hate it when you get stressed in the summer?).  I volunteered to be a chair for an event for the sole purpose to get the committee members to meet and then they were supposed to do ALL the work. I must be a horrible chair person since I seem to be doing ALL the work.  The event is soon and add that to a snafu in another event and my stress level rose to the max.  I won't go into detail on what this level of stress does to my system but somehow I have to get through the next couple of weeks.  I hate it when you tell people what they are supposed to do for an event and then they just do what they want.  In the one case, I was out of town the day before, thought everything was in hand (wrong, wrong, wrong assumption) and come the day of and find things not quite perfect and people in an uproar, complaining and angry.  They sort of lambasted the wrong person about it (not me) and I feel bad that she took the heat.   Now please realize that the event while important and it did need to be done right is not life threatening.  With all the friends that I have that are having major health issues, I have a problem with the level of anger that followed this snafu.  The event was still a game.  Add that to the news this morning of the mass shooting in the Orlando nightclub and I have just a feeling that sometimes priorities are not in order.  However, it was still a snafu and I will have to monitor it more closely.  I realize that for the most part, no one reads this and my publicly airing a grievance it probably wrong, I feel somewhat better although my insides are still in a turmoil. I guess that is it for now.
