Maybe this is me being unaware of my own divergence, but that sounds pretty normal. We're attached to pattern as humans, and driving is one of those things you do subconsciously (or at least it's on the back burner in terms of direct focus) after a while. Makes sense you would conflate two super similar routes when you are essentially operating off muscle memory
