Sorry I Am Late, I Was Doing a Thing I Could’ve Done Literally at Any Other Time
<p>Sorry, I’m so late! I sprinted to get here. What a stressful day; I had this one thing to do, and if I didn’t get it done today, I’d lose the opportunity forever. Actually, I had all month to do it but somehow didn’t get to it.</p>
<p>Are they still holding our table? I know you booked the reservation six months ago because this place is impossible to get into. It’s a good thing I’m here in the nick of time and with one minute to spare. I’m technically 59 minutes late, but restaurants hold your reservation for at least an hour, right?</p>
<p>Can’t believe I made it! So proud of myself. Oh, and of you! You made it! You, my dear friend, have officially graduated med school, and I am here to celebrate <em>you,</em> as soon as I stop sweating.</p>
<p>So to make a short story long, I had that one critical thing to do today but when I woke up, I just wasn’t feeling it. After I dragged myself out of bed, I hand-selected 41 coffee beans, ground them, and made myself a pour-over coffee with my famous homemade oat milk. Then I finally felt ready to get started but I had to take Fluffy for a walk.</p>
<p>After the dog park, I sat down determined to get it done but my desk was too distracting. Piles of papers everywhere; how can anyone work like that? I certainly couldn’t. Obviously, I had to organize my desk. You know me, once I decide to do something, I just do it.</p>
<p>I cleaned my desk, sorted the file cabinet, purged the kitchen pantry, and did a load of laundry. The whole time, I was feeling an overwhelming sense of dread in the pit of my stomach. The pressure of the deadline was looming, but I had to finish what I started. So many Post-its. So many lists. So many expired cans of beans.</p>
