Thinking about going back to my habit of adding plenty, and I mean plenty, of padding for my train trips to my CI clinic. Despite leaving home more than double the time normally needed to get to the train station I missed my train by about 5 mins. I heard the train's bells has it left the station while I was hustling to parking garage elevator. Luckily the next train was only about 30 mins later and the last minute price was not too much over what I paid for my original ticket. Though I did catch my train home, I got to the station only about 10 mins before boarding. That lateness was due to my audiologist asking me to participate in some CI research and I agreed to do it (knowing that it might make me late - plenty of trains, just a matter how much more I'd have to pay for a later train). I had planned to stop somewhere to grab lunch on my way back to the train station, but instead had to hustle from the metro station to the Amtrak station.
