When I'm Ready to Go...

I realized this...oddity...about myself this morning. Maybe I'm not alone, but even I think it's strange. But it's not something I can change, for whatever reason. I've TRIED!

When I am ready to go somewhere, I'm ready to go THEN. I do not like to get ready for an event and then have to wait before I leave. For example, if I am getting ready to go to church, when I get my shoes on (which is typically the last thing I do), I am pretty much ready to pick up whatever I need and walk out the door. I suppose, in a way, I should be a "last minute" person in order to save myself the "problem" of having to wait on someone else. If I could train myself to get ready at the last minute - when I know everyone else will be ready when I am (NEVER GONNA HAPPEN) - then maybe I'd do okay. Oh - I don't like to get ready too early, either, even if I'm the only person who is going. If I have to be somewhere that requires me to leave at 9:00 to get there on time, it drives me nuts to be ready at 8:40, have nothing to do, and then have to WAIT. Yeah, I realize there is always something to do, but unfortunately, the things I think about doing at times like that are things that I can't start and then leave to finish later.

Maybe it's some type of time management issue...if I have nothing to do - or things I need to do can't be completed in the filler time - maybe my mind thinks it's wasted time. Another thing that makes me crazy is having an appointment in the middle of the day and then having to arrange everything else around it.

I know...I know...you don't have to say it...
