must check temperature now

I had a dentist appointment today and wasn't feeling well in the hours leading up to it. I actually drove to the pharmacy down the street just to buy some of those disposable covers for thermometers so that I could take my temperature and reassure myself I wasn't sick.

As I got out of the car and walked up to the store, it hit me how ridiculous I was being. Would someone who was sick with a fever really have the energy to run a quick errand and remember to grab a CD before they left and be singing along with the music on the way? Even if they did, they'd certainly feel worse by the time they got there, and I felt much better (I'm assuming because I was taking action to solve my non-existent problem).

On top of that, my car's "check tire pressure" light was on, and it probably would have been a better use of my time if I had added some minutes to my for-emergencies cell phone in case I had a tire problem on the very long drive to the dentist. Because let's face it, that was much more likely to happen than me getting sick during my dentist appointment.

Not my most rational moment. Luckily, I did not have any car trouble. Or a fever.

Anyway, aside from minor crazy behaviors like the above, I have been doing well. Very little anxiety. Life is good.

Hope everyone else is doing good too!
