Stress!
I'm so busy.
We just moved to this new apartment in Nonantum over labor day weekend, but we're still packing up the old place. Also, we have only one chair. I have a new job, and every day, Michael reminds me to set up my health insurance and my W2, and every day, my boss is not in her office. I'm trying to set up a kosher kitchen here, which is a project in and of itself, and I've got this stupid online course that started a week ago, which I still can't access the online materials for.
Michael's sister just got married today, and the ceremony was beautiful. Michael's relatives were surprisingly warm toward me. Lisa and Erich looked amazing, the food was elegant and delicious, and Erich's mom did a wonderful job with the arrangements for the tables. She made the vases, even. It was an outdoor wedding, and the weather was perfect, neither too hot nor too cold. The favors were maple candy!
Rosh Hashona is coming up on Wednesday night. It ends just as Shabbos begins. So I have roughly three days to try and kasher enough pots to cook enough food for three days. I can cook some stuff on Yom Tov, but I really ought to get as much done in advance as possible.
The new shul we are attending is lovely. It has a very relaxed and inviting atmosphere, in spite of, or perhaps because, it is a small community shul. Everyone seems to want to invite us over for dinner for various occasions.
But altogether, I will be glad when things calm down. I think it says something that I have hardly touched my laptop, or my research, in over a week. I've been incommunicato for at least that long, also. I hope my friends will forgive my extreme business. As it is, I am "stealing" this time to write an LJ entry as Michael is rushing around, unpacking, and simultaneously trying to get the nonsense with my course sorted out.
I'm tired as hell. And I think I am coming down with a cold.
I need a robot clone.
