Tonight I will be getting the rest of my stuff packed and staged in my apartment – ready for the 6:30am kickoff of moving madness. Marcus and Mike will be assisting here in Des Moines to get the truck loaded which will hopefully only take an hour at the most.
Once loaded up, we will make a brief stop in West Des Moines to drop off my couch and loveseat (in exchange for some sweet $$$). After that, it’s off to my parents place in KC where we will be met by my friends Mike, Matt, and Ryan. My goal is to churn and burn to get the truck unloaded so Marcus and I can hit the road back to Des Moines as quick as possible.
Once back, I’ll be left with a mostly empty apartment, save clothes for next week and basic toiletries and a captains chair so I’ll actually have something to sit in… how novel! I know full well that next week is going to suck beyond all reason. I’m not going to care about work during the day, and I’ll have just my lonely, empty apartment at night.
Next week will also begin the week of the “lasts” – “last Monday”, “last Tuesday”, etc. Hard to believe that two weeks from today I’ll be in the middle of my exodus from Iowa to California. A lot of mixed feelings are boiling up – excited at the new opportunity, but also very sad at some of the people I’m leaving behind.
Life is all about changes, and while they can be exciting, they can also be very depressing…
