A knock on the door at 8:02 this morning is going to derail me.

I just don’t know it yet.

No, at a quarter of the hour, I am still chugging ahead, convinced that all the sacrifices I have made over the last three years—the patience, the frustration, the fucking scrimping—are at long last starting to pay off. At a quarter to eight, I still believe that I have put miles between my present self and my past mistakes, that I have redeemed myself and there is no looking back. The tracks have been laid and they are straight and it is full steam ahead from here on.

Or so I think.
