The Familiar Panic of Pre-Shipping

I seem to have achieved impending panic.  This state is the result of attempting to not be waiting for the phone call which will tell me exactly when the books will arrive, while simultaneously contemplating exactly how much we’ll be spending on shipping in the next two weeks.  Fortunately this is now a familiar feeling.  I go through this every time we’re preparing to ship books.  I know we’ll get through it and everything will be fine.  Unfortunately that knowledge can not banish the stress completely.  I need that phone call I’m trying not to wait for.
