Same Old Change

Well.... After having switched from the moving world to the realm of a doctors office I have found that people are still the same.

Case in point, the doctors do have a life out side of treating patients. They do have families that they want to spend time with and while they do take good care of themselves they do get sick and need time off. Watching our doctors work when they should rest is the most heart breaking thing.

Also, we can not pull them out of surgery just because you have one little question. Would you like it if they were pulled away from you during your appointment? No, you wouldn't like that. Please don't do this to others.

But! It is only a few that do this. Most people are just happy to get in and out. Then there are a few that bring us goodies. I hate to say it but people that bring little treats like coffee or cookies are so awesome.

I will say this though, if you are very nice and understanding when things are thought to scheduled, being nice and understanding will keep you on the receptionists mind. This means that even thought there is no call list, if you were super understanding they might remember you and call you up if an opening happens. THIS DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL HAPPEN!!! The receptionists get a lot of calls and names with thoughs calls. It just helps them help you.

I will expand on this stuff more later. :3

Moving Preparation Ideas for Long Distance Moves

This is a pretty stander-ed list of things my parents did during our long distance moves. While it is basically a list of ideas for items that you would want to purchase when you get to your new house while you are waiting for your household goods to be delivered.

1) An inflatable mattress and a method of inflating it.
This is probably one of the most important things you will need if you go to your new home before delivery of your items. Some of the less expensive ones require you to use a pump or hairdryer to inflate them. Some of the better ones are equiped with their own pumps. both will make your wait eiser.

2) Dishes and silverware
When you get there swing by the local big name store and grab yourself a set of silverware, dished and glasses. It never hurts to have an extra set on hand, even after moving the set could be used for picknics, camping, for the kids or even for your next long distance move.

3) Towels & Robes
Either you purchase new or pack your current set, you want to make sure you have enough for everyone when you get to your new home.

4) Personal Items
This might seem like a no-brainer but little travil bottels of shampoo run out fast when you have kids. Toothbrushes and the like are also things you don't want to be packed by your movers.

5) Backpack of Things for the Kids
This is a big one. Until you stuff arrives your kids will have nothing to do inside the house. Unless you have get them to help clean the new house you should make sure they set pack a backpack of things they like to read or games they like to play. This was a must every time my family moved.

There are so many small things that you never realize that you use until they are locked away. Hopefully this list will help you in the process of your long distance move.
