The same yet totally different

Ribbons of War goes into tech on Tuesday and I'm scared in an entirely new way.
Normally, I'm worried about all the things that are MY responsibility (which is a lot when you're a stage manager) and I make lists and fret and agonize. This time though, I get to worry about EVERYTHING that is EVERYONE's responsibility. It's freeing and horrifying.
As a production manager, I really don't DO much during tech. I'll run the notes session after each rehearsal and I'll support my SM throughout but other than that? I have a feeling I'll just sit and watch.
The scary part is tomorrow - Monday - load in. This is when I get to orchestrate a beautiful chaos that is everything arriving all in one day. I've made a schedule, rented a van, set aside time to go to the space today and clean but I still have a stone in the pit of my stomach.
I don't think it will go away until we're all good and closed.
