"Be on Time Chronicles": Sometimes It Works Out

Yesterday I scheduled rides to go to work, then to the grocery store to get a flu shot. I scheduled 2 hours and 45 minutes to get from Point A to Point B and do what I needed to do at Point B. 

Turns out, I needed every minute of that time.

I don't know what happened with the pick-up from the library. 

The app said the vehicle arrived at 3:15. I was outside but no vehicle in sight. I called dispatch. They said the vehicle was 7 minutes away.

I got picked up 45 minutes later, at 4:00.

At one point I started getting stressed. But then I said to myself, "Maybe it will work out. Calm down, and enjoy being outside."

I then rode for an hour and a half.

The driver was stressed out.

Traffic was bad as usual

A passenger was being annoying. 

His schedule was bananas. 

"Maybe if will work out," I thought.

Spoiler alert:

It did.

I arrived at the store at 5:15.

I had 30 minutes.

I got my shot, then raced out and grabbed a few groceries.

My ride came less than two minutes after I paid for my groceries.

Success.

It was a challenging afternoon. 

Patience and a positive attitude got me through it.
