Continuing to water here. I offered some plants to a friend, so I'm watering before digging them up.
This is our homeless family week to host, and again, we're having behavior issues: poor respect for property despite strong entry rules speech, and signs, etc. One of the other volunteer leaders has left on vacation - Tues. - and so it's fallen to me to go back to the volunteers and families and get the message across again.
I'm getting tired of the difficulties in the program, and will round out my 4 th year next spring, and move on. It's quite possible another person would be more effective and supportive of the lead volunteer - the one who's left for the week - than I am.
For example, I am not interested in taking over her spot, and it would be good for her to get someone into the effort who would be.
So that has kept me going this week, plus some household maintenance things, but, BUT...
Last night I went to the game to see the Tribe beat the Tigers! It was great fun, the place was bustling and noisy, and I loved every minute of it!
Man how I dislike this man..
If you start burning out, back off for a while, get a rest, do some rethinking, you will guide yourself into the right direction.
Speaking of the Det. Tigers, I've been meaning to ask you baseball buffs here, if you are familiar with Eldon Auker
He is the baseball hall-of-famer (I believe he's in the HOF anyway) that was born in Mr. Prairie's hometown.
Ever heard of Auker, anybody?
Those behavior issues may well be what contributed to those people being homeless in the first place. Sorry to hear it’s been rough again for your program and especially for you Molly.
