I loved doing this because it didnt matter if the appointment was the next day or next week. I could "travel" the route from my home to my destination as many times as I needed on the maps so that when it came time to get to my appointments I knew what I was doing and where I was going no matter which frame of mind I was in and which alter was in control.
calling the place of the appointment the day before also helps to make sure I had the right address and didnt go to an old address or the wrong one. living in the city I do, treatment providers and health agencies frequently change addresses/ locations.

I was using google on my phone but I couldn't remember the name of the street or what it was near. When I called the office they told me they are near Lowes. I'll remember that now. Thanks for the helpful words. I think what bothered me most is that that has never happened before. I gotten lost before but not blanked out so completely. I didn't like it.
