It's Monday, and there's so much preparation that remains. I've one more day at work to go and the enormity of that still hasn't hit me. There were a few patients today that got me to thinking that come Wednesday, I will not have a job to go to. For the first time in my life, I will be "between jobs". It's a little scary. I really don't know quite what to expect. Clearly all this preparation for the bike trip has absorbed what little mental energies I have at this point. My next to final package arrived from Amazon today. A larger saddlebag, and some socks. Two days ago, I packed my suitcase and backpack with all of the suggested items and discovered that I was a mere 20# overweight. I ended up ditching the suitcase and ordered a duffel, which should arrive tomorrow from Amazon, which will save me 10#. The remainder will be made up by shipping some supplemental food items, (bars, blocks, recovery drink) ahead. I've got about 3 lists going in the house of items not to forget. I will soon need to start a list to keep track of my lists. Last night, I was in a panic because I couldn't find my toenail clippers. They're in the house somewhere. I have some confidence that they'll turn up. If not, it will be another trip to Walgreens.
