I've been driving home to my parents' place from Adelaide for a very long time. Today, as I went down to Adelaide, I pointed the car in the direction of town, shoved on my audiobook and drove.
There's a difference between driving between Victor Harbor and Myponga. It's 20 minutes each way. it's just that bit further. It's also through a lot more scrubland where there are lots of kangaroos, making driving a little more precarious between dusk and dawn.
It's 20 more minutes to listen to my book or take in the calm of having the car to myself. It's also 20 more minutes to have to factor in to get anywhere. Like tomorrow, I'm meeting a friend for brunch in McLaren Vale. I'd normally give myself 20 minutes to get there. Tomorrow, I'll make it 40 minutes to get there.
I've got to get my head around this.
After over 35 years of driving home, it's inertia behaviour which you have to shift.
