Stuff, stuff, and stuff

Getting rid of all my stuff has not been as easy as I initially thought. Little things pile up that can't easily be thrown away, be it a drawing my niece made when she was 5, my LCI certificate that qualifies me to teach the bike classes or the German environmental law books that I bought for my studies, but which could come in handy with any kind of job in Europe.
Well, there is one more trip to the Thrift store planned for the next couple of days, but I am looking into shipping some stuff to Europe.

Also, today will be my last Rabies shot. Good to have that finally over. Because of my delay I also will have the advantage of being able to completely finish my Hepatitis A/B vaccination. The third shot has to be done 6 months after the second (or was it after the first?). I was told that having two is better than nothing and accelerating the third shot doesn't have any benefit. But now I should be ok to get the third dose before I leave.

I am leaving Thursday, so I have a few more days to clean everything up. I am really looking forward to what's ahead of me!

I wish you the best of luck on this one! I had a friend who when he went away to college took only one backpack of his stuff and his disassembled bike in a box. I thought that was the greatest thing and tried for years to be able to get to the point where all my life could fit in a backpack. Have given up the standard of one backpack the last few years but it's still a bit of an obsession for me. I'll just live vicariously through you. Let us know how you manage.
