Crushed

After 5 years i finally got offered a first appointment at the gender identity clinic. I hardly slept and had to be out really early. Rushed to the station and got on the train ready to make the journey. Then they announced the trains delayed, a trains broken down ahead. Fine, i got an early train, i can afford a delay. I wait and wait, nothing. I couldn’t get another train, none of the other trains would get me there. After 40 minutes i have to step off the train and head home. I wasn’t making it, even if i got a taxi, i wasn’t making it. The journey is a good hour, probably more with early morning traffic, and my appointment was in 30 minutes and 5 years, and I’ve missed the appointment… i hate this
