health, mh, genuine PSA 

Periodic reminder that I keep a health and anxiety journal and it is one of the best ideas I've ever had.

Every false COVID scare, every political anxiety, every weird ache and pain and heart flutter, it all goes in.

And I go back every so often to annotate it with the results. Page after page of "nothing happened... everything fine... Shemp did NOT apparently die in a ditch somewhere... no, it was NOT cholera."

It's unbelievably comforting, having objective evidence of all the times I was not, in point of fact, doomed. I just can't recommend it highly enough, especially these days.
