I'm happy and relieved: I had a whole bunch of difficulty in getting through to my past CPE supervisor to get a copy of my final evaluation (mine got lost in the process of one move or another). Since I need this in order to apply for residencies, this was causing me rather a lot of anxiety. So this was quite a relief. It also means that if it doesn't arrive (it's in the mail, right now), I can talk to my old supervisor about it without it being an issue...
Now I have a new (more transitory) anxiety: what to wear to my grandmother's wedding. I have all sorts of options, including:
1. a nice skirt (a little nicer than my usual shabbos wear, although I take it out occasionally anyways) with a blouse,
2. a snazzy top with a plain black skirt (but the top is a bright pattern on black, and my hat is black too- and I know one really oughtn't wear black to weddings. I'm ok making an exception to some extent, clearly, given the hat purchased for the occasion is black, but that much? Would it be insulting?)
3. A dark green velvet dress, that I do wear for shabbos sometimes, with a shirt under (it's sleeveless, and with too low a neckline to wear on its own anyways).
4. A green suit (I've had it for ages, never worn it, and think the shoulder pads are too big to really flatter me, but H thinks it looks lovely. It has the benefit of being in the same category as what my grandmother would have worn to such an event, I think, for quite a while. But hers would have been classier...)
Number 2 is probably the snazziest, but it's a lot of black, so I'm sort of leaning towards number 1, but then again... I don't know. Maybe I'll bring both, consult with Mom, and wear the other for shabbos?
Wish me luck. I don't know why I'm so invested in such a little detail, but I am.
Also- this evening I got an email asking me to participate in the wedding in some way- it's a lovely honor.
