Part of the relocation package with Caterpillar was a professional moving service. Allied Van Lines were the people that moved me and did a decent job. Unfortunately, it's boring. You sit there on the couch and watch them go through all your stuff. It took hours, and I don't have much stuff. Very strange indeed. It is nice to not have to do it yourself though, so I guess the uncomfortable bits are outweighed by my lazyness. Also, it was free so I can't complain. They didn't really pack up anything too weird together. The strangest thing I found was a sponge (new, thankfully) that was put in with my video games. When you get to your destination they are supposed to unpack it for you, but they basically take it out of the box and throw it on a table, which isn't very helpful. I ended up doing that on my own, so they didn't put all of my kitchen stuff in the bathtub.
Now I know I joke around a lot, and it's often hard to take me seriously. That being said, moving away from Peoria is probably the second hardest thing I've ever had to do. The hardest thing was signing Rick's DNR(do not resuscitate) order when he was dying of cancer. I don't mean to be overly sentimental, but it really did affect me. I know I'll get over it, but that doesn't mean it isn't hard. I know goodbye isn't forever, but what was there is never going to be the same, and all things change.
So one thing I've learned my friends is all good times have to end
and when those times come around we burn, we burn, we burn, them down
and I sing most every night when the lights are low and we all die
and we die most every night
we die, we die, we die
