Lost & Late
I did paperwork all morning, catching up on bookkeeping and paying bills. By noon, I was tired of it but not finished. Richard came home for an hour after working 8 hours and had to leave for another five and a half hour stint... They are short handed. He's always good natured and willing to bridge the gap.
I'm a very lucky lady to share my life with a guy like that. He looks after me, makes sure I get to appointments, etc. He calls to make sure I'm up and dressed on time and checks up on me when I go places. He does it in such a sweet way and is never condescending about it. He got me out off a jam this evening, too.
Tonight was the premier meeting of the new ladies Bible study. I had directions sent by Terry, I had a Mapquest map, I had detailed verbal directions from my honey who knows Galt like the back of his hand... I even left 30 minutes early!
Just a few minutes after I left the house I realized I didn't have my cell phone. Never mind," I thought, "I can find my way." Amazingly, I remembered Richard's directions... or so I thought! But I must have turned them around some way because I could not find the street.
Soon I discovered I had neither the map I printed nor Terry's directions. I still had plenty of time, so I began asking people. None of them gave good directions. Now, I was going to be late. I drove to the church so I could call for directions and let everyone know why I was late.
The phone is one of those fancy kinds with all sorts of buttons and I couldn't make it work right away. Finally, I was able to call out. The ladies had turned off their cell phones I guess because I only reached voice mail for them.
I called Cathy and talked with Pastor Rob who told me how to get on the computer where I brought up a map. I tried to print it only to discover the printer was so slow to warm up, my meeting would be over before I got a map. I then carefully wrote out directions and headed out again. I was already 30 minutes late.
I'm not sure if I was heading in the right direction, but soon saw Richard's cute little red pickup flashing its lights behind me. He led me to the Bible study and when it was over, Terry led my out... back to the church. I know my way home from church.
The Bible study was good even though I was late and two ladies didn't make it... I am excited about it. We have a wonderful group of ladies and will learn much from each other.
I'm going to make a few test runs before next week.
