Things I need to worrry about, things I don't

Things I worry about that I probably shouldn't:

• The conclusions to which other people arrive when they see me.
• The prospect of nerves overcoming me at the oral interpreter test and making me vomit all over the judging panel.

Things I don't worry about even though I should:

• Making sure I take the time to study for the test.
• Doing the laundry so that not a single member of my household is forced to go to work/school wearing a Halloween costume even though it is not Halloween.
• That my larder contains food that could actually be used for cooking a meal. No, chips and salsa do not count.
