Saturday 7/16 waiting for

Driving Lesson number 20. In true Adhd form, I have no idea whether I discussed the whole thing about getting my first driver’s license at 54.

I probably have as I got the permit a while ago and can’t remember when I started the lessons. It’s been quite a “ride”! A lot of fear and anxiety made worse at first by having abrupt random changes in teacher . I’ve had 3 teachers and tomorrow I’m trying a different person who runs his own business and meets in a perfect spot for my weekend.

I’ve developed a fear of buses I’m trying to work on.

There is more but here’s a “before “ photo waiting to start my lesson:

The beauty today is my attitude. I’ve prepared in that I woke up at 7 with no alarm which I love to do. Then I futzed around before getting bagels and cream cheese. I’m trying the gluten thing again so I use rice cakes instead of bagels. I did an almost 40 minute workout strength and cardio which helps to prepare. Then we ate and I left quickly as I like to be early.

I was gearing up, pun intended, for large streets with buses and lane changes, my least favorite thing, so of course this week we didn’t do any of that, easy turns etc. and parallel parking.
