Before:
After:
After a long day of waiting for a truck and then a pretty quick loading time, it's done. The vast majority of my earthly possessions are on a truck that will be showing up in Boston in about 2 weeks.
Sitting in my living room, rolling around in a crappy old wheelchair that I bought as a poor man's camera dolly (because we now have no chairs), this is all very surreal. I think the part that made it all more real today wasn't my reaction to loading all of the stuff onto a truck; it was my friends' reactions. Seeing them realize that this is all really happening made it more real for me, and that was pretty sad. Saying goodbye over the next couple of days is going to be very rough.
That being said, I'm very excited for my pending road trip and subsequent arrival in Boston. I know it's going to be frustrating that my stuff's not getting there until about a week after I am. Once I arrive I'll definitely want to start unpacking and getting my life put together.
I have quite a bit to do over the next three days. Many errands to run, addresses to change, etc. It'll probably go quickly.

Wow, rolling around in a crappy wheelchair. That brings back memories. Well, really just the one.

Hey Ben, sorry I put you in that wheelchair. But next time you try to steal one of my necklaces, I'm going to take six of your fingers and five of your toes.

Best of luck with the move... I didn't realize that you owned all those chairs.

Yeah Ben, you'd better watch out. I hear Mr T fights dirty... pulling ears and such.

I don't know there Daniel, I bet Ben could take on Mr. T, even without the help of a partner. He just has to use his full-nelson grip.
or a restraining order.
