Travelling this morning
So my Dad organised a family holiday for us (me, three stepsiblings, one step-partner, his wife and me) to go to Bali, leaving this morning.
He lives a 15min drive to the airport in bad traffic, I live 30-60mins depending on traffic. He and the others who live with him are getting an uber to the airport, I'm driving myself and parking in long term parking.
I spoke to him yesterday, (p.o'd because he'd made some snarky comment about me setting alarms) to say 'yeah, I know, I have 3 alarms set for 4-4:30am, lay off, I'm 34 and been living with myself for a long time' and he was baffled.
He's like "Why on earth are you getting up so early? We don't need to be there until 6:45."
My response "Because I need to leave by 5 in case there's bad traffic and because I need to leave a gap for my own errors."
I left at 4:58am, so proud of myself. Then I realised I left my wallet and though everything is on my phone, I probably won't have signal in Bali, so I need it.
Left again at 5:15. Traffic was great, made it by 5:40!
Parked and was on my way to the terminal when I thought 'Parking was way too easy, and I'm way to close for the usual area, I'm gonna double check'.
I parked in the premium parking which is $55 per day instead of the value parking which I'd booked at $14 per day, so I had to run back to my car and spend 10mins finding the correct car park and then another 10mins actually finding a spot, then wait for the bus to the terminal.
I'm here now, at nearly 6:30am and all I can think is "THIS!! This is why I got up at 4! Stop assuming I don't know how to manage my life!"
If I'd gotten up and left when he'd said, I'd have missed my flight.
Last time I had a flight to catch I was standing at the station, train rolling in, I had enough time.
but THEN I remembered goddamn Brexit and that I now needed my passport, whereas before my ID would have been enough. Cue to me RUNNING home. BARELY made it
