Unfortunately, I always manage to forget to pack something. Luckily, unlike the time when I went to DC for a long weekend and managed to forget to bring ANY shirts, this time it wasn't such an important thing, but seeing as I am going to be spending this coming weekend in Tel Aviv, my absent bathing suit was a bit of a dilemma...after a bit of fruitless searching so late in the after season, I passed by a fabric store, and, returning to my old ways, solved the problem that way. In the end, making my swimsuit instead of buying one resulted in a much better fit, and a much lower price.
Another thing that I did not bring with me? A regular suit. Of course, when packing I saw no likelihood of needing one, but since I am interview in Berlin next Tuesday, I do. Unfortunate new piece of knowledge: imported stores in Israel are very overpriced. Sorry Israelis. I have managed to borrow a black pencil skirt from a friend, and think I have scrounged together an acceptable outfit from the closet I did bring with me. Since my interview is the day after Yom Kippur, and has been moved from 2:30 pm to 10 am, and since the only HM that once was open on sudays in Berlin no longer is, my plans to buy something quick and easy have fallen through.
On that note, I will be spending Yom Kippur in Berlin. Yes, Mom, I found someone to go to services and breakfast with. And to add to the fun, like I said before, leading up to my week long stint in my favorite european locale, I am spending the weekend in Tel Aviv, going to the beach Friday with a couple of friends, and finally meeting my new found extended family at some point. I'll probably look for something to make my interview outfit abit more conservative, too.
In other exciting news, Chelsea and Caroline have booked their tickets and are coming to Israel!!
Need to finish packing now, and Chasidus class is in six hours...
