2 more weeks! It is coming up soooo quickly. I feel like I still have so much to do. Truthfully, all I need to do is sell my car and get rid of a few more things. It is so hard to see people I won't be seeing for a long time, however these same people are giving me great ideas of things to do while away.
It is especially hard to go inside my room and start to sort through my things. I have always had a problem with throwing things away, because it all means so much to me. Now I have to get rid of 99% of it. Insane!!! Stuff is just stuff. Getting weened off of materials is something we should all do, so that we can enjoy each other and the time we have together.
The past few days of work I have caught myself wrapped up in thoughts. Some one will break my train of thought and ask me if I'm ok. Oops! Didn't even realize I was lost in my head. 'Oh, ya I'm fine. Just have a lot on my mind' I tell them. With good reason too. With so little time left, it is time to update my research. I'm checking the weather and finding freezing weather; I'm checking the maps and getting directions and finding dirt roads; I'm getting my panniers packed and unpacked and packed and unpacked to get the practice. Getting people's information to keep in contact, making sure I have all my emergency information set up, getting squared away with my bank and car, getting a power of attorney just in-case anything happens...all of this and some is going through my head. How do I go across the Atlantic? Boat, freighter, plane? More adventure in the boat but more time too. Less time on a plane but no story/experience. Geesh! I know I'll have plenty of time to think about it on the ride to Long Beach, NY but this is just more to think about.
