Perhaps the academic year, with the distraction attendant on its various obligations, helpfully kept our minds off what-all will happen over the next few months. The greater leisure of the last couple of days, however, has brought a wave of stress and anxiety as we look ahead to graduation, wedding, packing, relocating, finding a new place to live (and where?), working out a way of living up to Interlochen’s financial expectations of us, and maybe one of us even getting a job.
One thing at a time: I have lectionary reflections to write and a valediction to compose. That’s two, I can count, but if I alternate between them I may make some headway on both.
