Well, it has been almost 2 weeks since I have started driving on my own. I really need to thank everyone for the words of encouragement you gave.. it is like every time I get behind the wheel, I feel more confident. I go to work and instead of being nervous about driving there, I am back to being nervous about work itself And when it is a quarter to, almost time to go home, I am literally jumping with anticipation to get out there and get home on my own volition!!
Granted, driving has taken a slight toll. I need to get up earlier, since I do not drive like Mark, who makes my 20-minute commute go by in 10 minutes, heh. I just don't take "risks" yet when pulling out into traffic like he does with his more experienced eye. And I do Not speed.. well, it is tough on the country-road type hills where you find yourself gaining momentum, hehe.
I need to reinstate; I wish that I did not wait so long to get a vehicle. But then again there were financial reasons.. but WOW, is this cool!
