usually before I make excursions like these, I think about them a few times, and back down. but eventually it overcomes me and I jump out of the door and take off, however I'm dressed. As they keep telling us around here, no one is really interested in watching us, especially at 2 or 3 AM. Or break it down, go out to the truck and return, don't take the drive until the next attempt. Or while you are thinking about it during those failed attempts, set yourself up for the next time, shave, run out the door before you have a chance to change your mind, and go for it. My only restriction here would be to tell your SO that you are thinking of doing something like that, just for the forewarning, and to find out for sure how much she would dislike your doing this. I know my SO was always opposed to my being seen outside of my own yard, but eventually she suggested that going out in a skirt at night was okay with her, that no one would see me anyway in the car. (It may have something to do with my going out for ice cream though. LOL). Good luck, shedding paranoia isn't easy. Say "F#@k it!" and run!! (unless you are in heels) ha ha.
