A Great Way to Freak Yourself Out...

...is Googling symptoms of strange biological occurrences. We all know this. So why did I search on "swollen ankles" when I know I spent almost all of last night sitting at my desk, sans sleep, trying to sort out a panicked student's paper? Oh, and do ya think the fact that I've gained at least 30-35 pounds in the last five years has something to do with it, too?? But no, I had to Google and see all sorts of scary possible diagnoses, and now I'm on the verge of hyperventilating.

Off to freak out a bit more...then to take the kiddo for a walk...and later put my feet up.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Hmm.
