Stagflation minus the economics

I can't remember what the issue was, but in elementary school, I remember having some problem at school and feeling so overwhelmed that I never wanted to return. Of course that's a common feeling, I know everyone feels like they want to scrap it all and just start over sometimes.

Right now, I'm sure there are some that feel that way about the economy. I'm no economist, but my dad was telling me today that stagflation is pretty much the worst kind of crisis that you can have. It's so spectacularly awful because no one knows what to do about it. It's so complex, especially with the interconnectedness of the global economic system that even the most brilliant market pupeteers aren't sure which strings to pull, or where the cause-effect relationships are anymore.

Our family isn't particularly effected by the economy, but I'm feeling the effects of stagflation in other ways.

1) Emotionally draining relationships.

I have absolutely no idea where the cause-effect relationships are anymore. Days and weeks are passing, and the stock continues to drop. Excitement is turning to panic. It's taking more emotional currency to get the necessities, and growth has seemingly halted.

2) Touchable accomplishments

This marks two weeks that I haven't even touched my crafts. Yarn sits on surfaces waiting to be useful, but time is more costly than ever these days. I'm being pulled in several directions at once (work, volunteering, family obligations...etc.). It all seems to suffer.

I was thinking that I had another point, but I see now that I don't. Happy crafty Tuesday all...Hope yours was more productive than mine.
