      That’s the “I might be okay” moment, followed by the body’s too early, “oh, we’re there?” at the last few feet. Sometimes you can distract the mind a bit more by focusing on something else while you make the last steps. A lot like how flying works in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, you have to notice something totally off-topic and forget you’re about to hit the ground.

        Indeed. One of the most important steps to take to not shit your pants, is to stop thinking about how you’re about to shit your pants. 🙏

        Idk I don’t seem to count myself as having made it until I’m sat

        In my experience there’s an inverse square law where the urge approaches infinity with proximity to the bowl

          This is so true. I’ve had accidents happen like right as I’m unfastening things rushing to sit down. I swear there’s a psychological component to this.

    The colors are indicating speed and not heart rate I think. Makes sense that they went faster close to home and slowed down inside the house.
