What is it about these 'let's do it now' episodes DB and I are experiencing?
I think I have figured it out. It's called 'time is moving on'. While in our younger years we fling around such expressions as 'I'll get around to it', or 'I'll do that down the road', or 'that can wait for another year', or 'someday' like ticker tape at a parade.
Before we know it, 'someday' has knocked on our badly-needing-paint door. Dang, time is sneakier than a kid in the cookie jar! We don't have 40 or 50 years in the future anymore, so we might as well DO IT NOW.
If only we could put an old head on young shoulders. When it comes to accomplished goals, a somewhat sense of urgency or 'Do It Now' way of thinking helps......Big Time.
Now to the point of all this....once again, an off the cuff comment has DB (Dearly Beloved) and I making a major move.
While wandering around our winter home of Yuma, AZ one day last December, he and I decided to "just look" at a few of the thousands of RV's in the many dealerships in this city. Yuma must be the RV capital of the world! Ha! Have you ever gone 'just looking' at puppies???
Here it comes.........that off the cuff remark......:
"Why don't we upgrade? Less expensive than Canadian prices at home, the dollar is almost at par, it is our 24/7/365 home and will be for 7 to 10 years, we will have to upgrade in a couple of years anyway, why not 'Do It Now' and enjoy more room and more modern ammenities longer???"
Besides, poor cat Sid is allergic to something in the RV. Vet put him on antihistamines and all he did was sleep. He barely even snored and Sid is a champion snorer! I cannot have one of my furry-purries suffering, so that was the final catalyst.
MOVING DAY WITH FRIENDS NOREEN AND BRYAN
This is how you move from one RV to another! Just walk the plank
Once we made a firm committment, the Universe went into overtime and even though we had to climb a few mountains, incredibly wonderful and helpful people 'turned up' to guide us along our way.
YES, IT'S ME
We are enjoying:
- Four slide-outs rather than one (roooooomy!)
- 30" plasma TV
- 2 more feet of length (that's a lot in an RV!)
- A fabulous workstation/desk for me
- Not having to walk sideways in the bedroom
- A sink in the 'water closet'
- More storage ( I LOVE storage!)
- Marble floor in kitchen and bath
- 7 years newer
- Granite countertops
- Dark cherry wood
- And did I say a hot tub on the roof? (kidding!)
The mattress platform is so high I feel like the 'Princess and the Pea'. "Climbing into bed" has a whole new meaning...I am only juussst able to get into bed without a step stool. Either that or take a run at it from across the room. But I practice yoga, not high jumping.
We have been in our new RV for 4 days and Sid is allergy free!
