GUESS WHAT I DID YESTERDAY!
Well, that’s actually not too hard, as my title gives it away. My brother and I finally made use of our LivingSocial coupons for two races at TBC Indoor Racing, and brought our dad along for a bonding experience.
When I look at my Day Zero list now, it’s blatantly obvious to me that I wrote this item down before I started learning how to drive.
At first I was excited for go-karting.
Then I watched the safety video and started stressing because it reminded me of my biggest fear when driving: that I’ll crash into other people. (Also why driving is truly one of the most upsetting activities I’ve ever had to do.)
I also got stuck when making a U-turn in the same spot twice, because hey, I still don’t know how to turn properly, but after the staff member assisting me out of my personal Bermuda told me to ‘Turn harder’, that’s what I did — and was fine thereafter.
Oh yes, I took some 50-odd seconds to make it around a lap when other people made it in 35, but whatever. I beat my personal best of not crashing in the second race. Woohoo!
Baby steps are key to a happy mindset. ♥
In the afternoon, I also brought my mother to watch The Nutcracker as put on by Alberta Ballet at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre this season. (Activity not in blog post title!) It’s quite a splendid and sparkling production, so do go if this kind of thing interests you!
All in all a pretty lovely way of wrapping up my year, eh?
