W back again with a great tale about how laziness and procrastination helped our dreams come true.
It all started with our condo being up for sale for more than a year without selling. E and I had had our fill of showings and were ready to give in and take the condo off the market. E was in charge of contacting the Sellers website we were using and found out there was a bunch of forms she needed to fill out in order to remove the condo from the MLS listing. Being lazy she decided to just let it stay on there. Low and behold with in a week we got another request for a showing. This turned into an offer and we sold.
During this same time we decided since we weren't going to be moving we should use our vacation time in the fall to get away and go on an honest to goodness vacation. The stress of not being able to sell was really getting to us and we needed some time away. W, that's me, was in charge of setting up the vacation details and buying the tickets and so forth. It being June and fall being a long time off W decided to procrastinate and not do any of this. That's when we get the offer and quickly find a great new house to buy. Now, we can't do the vacation thing because we are moving in the fall.
Thus our procrastination saved us from having to cancel any reservations and paying any cancellation fees and Laziness kept our condo on the Website so we could sell.
So next time Aesop starts giving you his line of crap about that Ant and that Grasshopper, you can you tell him the fable about W and E and how Laziness and Procrastination saved the day.
