My facebook status reads: "Rachel [is] supremely stressed about the amount of things that need to happen between now and Sunday".
I'm not convinced blogging about it will alleviate that stress, but I felt guilty that my last post was 2 weeks ago....and that it was about What Not To Wear, particularly when I'm wearing a jean skirt that my mother would hate (its too long for her tastes, but Meg approved it and its comfortable. So there).
I leave for camp on Sunday. Holy crap. Here's what has to happen between now and then:
* Wrap up my work at Gann.
* Start my work in Andover, even though the job doesn't technically start until the end of the summer.
* Continue my work at TAS, a wonderful congregation that, now that it has a rabbi to deal with things, has things it needs the rabbi to deal with. Good for them, typically excellent for me, just temporarily stressful.
* Figure out each institution's calendar for next year.
* PACK for camp....cause I figure it would go over better with the parents if I had clothes to wear.
* Clean my apartment so that I don't return to find that bugs have overtaken it.
* Deal with the fact that my management company wants to get new windows (yay!) but will probably give me very little notice to move everything "6 feet from the window" and cover it in plastic (boo....)
* PLAN for camp....cause I figure my staff would prefer if I come prepared for staff week. [Don't worry, it really is mostly done.]
* Reply to, like, 50 billion emails.
Ok, the last one isn't true. It was only about 50, and I did it last night. Thats what happens when you write to each kid (and their parents) in your unit at camp...not surprisingly, you get replies....
I wrote this post in less than 3 minutes. How's my spelling?
Now, time to put the contacts in, jacket on, pack up the computer, and bolt out the door!!!
Stress much?
