I did it. Alone. Completely. Despite being led astray by my assumingly trusty GPS, I made it to the car dealership for an oil change. And I'm victorious. There was a brief moment when I felt that panicky piece of me creeping in as I realized the GPS was about 2 steps behind each turn I needed to make. However, I kept it in check, took a deep breath and sure enough ended up on SW Marine Drive.
More importantly - I made it back and I PARKED! Yep - first time, pulling in backwards next to the Volvo with personal space issues. And as I pulled into our parking garage the song "Brave" was playing on the radio. I took that as a Providential fist bump and told myself, "Girl - you got this". And I did.
So there. The update I'm sure everyone who's ever read this blog has been repeatedly hitting 'refresh' to read. Anxiety conquered and a whole new world reopened. Plus - the car's ready for her first ferry trip on Friday to Vancouver Island.
