How many times.........
That's what I ask every time I leave the house only to return.
Today I was running late for a meeting. (To those who know me, that is certainly no surprise.) I was about 5 minutes behind when I needed to be.
Got in the car, pulled out of the driveway and realized I did not have a mask.
Backed up the driveway, ran in grabbed a mask. I was now about 8 minutes behind.
Road work on Flagg Road....but I went at the right time. No delay!
Drove 2 miles down the road and realized I did not have my phone. If Jackie needed help, she could not get me. Turned around and headed back. Got caught by construction. Finally got home. Now I was 15 minutes behind.
Got back into the car with my phone, my mask, my patience frayed, and got caught in construction again.
I reached my meeting 25 minutes late. The bad part was I had to leave early!
I managed to be there 40 minutes. I apologized for being late. I apologized for leaving early.
I would have almost been on time if I was not so damn forgetful! Granted, it did not help to be behind someone pulling a trailer and doing 40 or getting caught by all 4 of the traffic lights on the route. When I am not in a hurry they are always green.
I did have a relaxing dinner with Emily and John and Jackie, plus a couple of glasses of vino, which has relaxed me further.
Tomorrow I have a doctor appointment in DeKalb. When I leave the house I will do a double check for keys, mask, phone, wallet, Maybe that will help me not make two trips back to the house.
It could be worse. At least I remembered where I parked the car tonight.
Stay healthy. Stay happy.
Peace and Love
