Getting Late

I have a local senior citizens club meeting at 11:00 - the first in over a year. I'm still sitting at the computer in my PJs, and the driver's seat isn't attached to my car. I installed another dash cam, and I wound up removing the seat. Everything is put back together but the seat. Installing the seat isn't a big deal - four bolts and some wires - but it involves old clothes, tools, etc.

This is what I do to myself. I delay for so long that it becomes too late to attend whatever it was I had in mind. Then I regret not going.

Okay, I talked myself into it. I'm putting the computer to sleep and getting ready!

Yes! The seat's in the car, and I'm cleaned up and ready to go. Just had to check my email. : )

As I was driving to the meeting, a little before 11:00, I realized that I was heading for the wrong meeting. One weekly meeting starts at 11:00, but this one starts at 1:00. So, I turned around and went back home and waited two hours. "1:00 and 11:00" are so similar! : )

How does a youngster like you get into a senior citizens club meeting?
You have a fake ID?

If I did that, my wife would note, "That's why it's important that you be a member of the Senior Citizens Club."

Jerry, check the yellow pages for the local procrastinators club. You will never be late for one of their meetings!

The term for me is Lazy. I never make plans although I occasionally make "Tentative Plans". That way when I don't go I don't feel guilty. I have sometimes made "Long Range Plans". I made long range plans to go to NY City thirty years ago. Every year I push it out another year. New York isn't going anywhere and probably neither am I

I'd be driving somewhere with my wife, and I made a turn. She'd say, "Where are you going." Then I'd realize that I was headed to the wrong place. I was just in the habit of turning at a certain spot for 90% of my trips.

I was once headed to North Carolina to visit someone. I was on the Interstate, and I called my wife. "Guess where I am. I'm on the Interstate heading north." Well, I was going to North Carolina.
