Mercury Retrograde is an astrological event where the planet Mercury appears to move backward in the sky. It’s an optical illusion, occurring three to four times a year, and lasting about three weeks.
Often linked to communication mishaps, technological glitches, travel delays, and challenges in decision-making, there’s no scientific proof behind these associations. However, those who heed its effects often double-check details, avoid significant decisions, and embrace patience during this period.
The RV we found happened to be a fifth wheel. This meant I would need to install a hitch in the bed of the truck. I really didn’t want to drill holes in my truck, but fifth wheels really do tow so much better.
I ordered the hitch, which was due to arrive on Thursday August 17th. I planned to install it then drive to Reno over the weekend, and meet Bob on Monday 21st to finalize the transaction.
But the hitch didn’t arrive on Thursday. Or Friday. I texted Bob to let him know we’d have to push our pickup date back, and we agreed on Wednesday morning. I just had to be patient, and remind myself that things often take longer than expected. Especially in RV life.
