This Week Small Wins

A school week with three odd days has been considered a stressful one.

Few months ago, chose to drive during odd license number although it took much longer route with crazy traffic. Then, after several trips for few weeks, decided that something should be done to stay sane. Switched to online ride for school drop and went straight home with the same car.
It turned out better for sanity although the taxi fare was not that agreable.

This week, finally found a much better way to improve the situation.

It began with a chaos Monday. The big fault was when I overestimated everything. Did all usual routine (breakfast, subuh, Quran, piano, Numbots, Rockstar, Piano trainer, shower and dhuha) with too much leisure until it was time to leave yet no single online ride accept the order. Started to get anxious and decided to walk to the bus stop hoping to get a vacant one. No result.

Crossed the pedestrian bridge. Still waited for a vacant online ride while keep ordering through two apps. No result.

School started within 10 minutes, a test started at 8.05 am and we were still standing 6 km away without solution. Texted the school asking for an online test. They said no more online test. She should come in person.

Dealt with crying girl at the bus stop while waiting for a miracle.

A driver finally accepted the request, but he was still 5 minutes away and had to make another stop. The longest five minutes.

Arrived at school 3 minutes before the test started.

Went back home with taxi fare cost 1,5x higher and energy level 1,5x lower than usual.

We learned better on Wednesday. Woke up 10 minutes earlier made all the difference. All routines done peacefully.

Again, no taxi accepted the request so we walked again to the bus stop across the apartement. Got a vacant one in an instant. Dropped at school safely then asked the driver to drop me at the nearest bus stop and proceeded to have museum trip.

Today was even better. All routine done even earlier. Maybe since it is long weekend, easily find a ride through the app while it was early. I aksed the driver to stop at the nearest bus stop and continued back home with another bus ride and morning walk.

This practice turned out to be the most beneficial.
Taxi fare reduced significantly. Morning walk under morning ☀️ fixed the mood greatly.

This week small wins : cost and energy efficiency, (finally) a nice craft work to be displayed!
