Had to readjust my thinking this week. When Rob and I first started talking about making a skoolie, we had talked about leaving by the end of the year. Get the bus, fix it up, and just leave. Break the lease if we have to, but just leave. I have had this mindset since we started.
Rob would tell me about the perfect school buses he sees, but we never do anything about them, not go see them or they are too expensive. In my mind if it is too expensive, it is not the perfect one for us. Then we decided on a van to begin with, he started the same thing. Tells me that we both have to go look at the van when he finds one. He can’t go alone, because if he buys it, how does it (or the Rogue) get back home.
All of these things were starting to stress me. Leaving by the end of the year to me meant, maybe August, or even earlier. It just didn’t seem like we were getting anywhere with the actual vehicle. The other day, all my frustrations about this came out.
In the conversation, Rob said that he isn’t even planning to buy a vehicle until October! WTF! October?! Apparently “by the end of the year” actually meant AT the end of the year. I know, semantics, but I really was upset about this. It took me a couple of days to adjust my thinking to being here longer, and working longer. I’ve adjusted, but still not completely happy about it
