Today I completely messed up because I thought I set my alarm last night. I have a routine where I check my phone before bed to make sure the alarm’s on… but apparently last night my brain decided I didn’t need it.
I woke up in a panic and realized I was an hour late for an important doctor’s appointment. The worst part? The queue for this doctor was 5–6 months long, so missing it wasn’t just inconvenient — it might’ve been half a year before I get another slot. I threw on clothes, grabbed my bag, and ran out the door, heart racing and sweat forming from pure panic.
When I finally got there, the doctor still let me in, but I had to wait the entire day until there was a free window in his schedule. I spent hours sitting in the waiting room, half annoyed, half panicking, silently judging myself for trusting my memory over a simple alarm. My phone sits there innocently on my nightstand, smugly showing 20:46 as im writting this on my laptop, set the alarm for tommorow's work.
TL;DR: Thought I set my alarm for an important doctor appointment with a 5–6 month queue, didn’t, woke up late, and had to spend the whole day waiting for the doctor to fit me in.
