I learned that even though I've been driving for half of my life, I still get nervous when somebody gets up on my back bumper when I am stopped on a hill. I start to panic and think things like "what if I get a leg cramp and my clutch/gas coordination gets screwed up so I roll back?"
It's a silly thing to worry about, but hardly the silliest thing I have ever worried about. When I was much younger, I used to worry that I would be kidnapped when I had a head cold. What if the kidnappers put duct tape on my mouth?!?! I can't breathe through a stuffed nose! Apparently it's not that uncommon for kids to have these thoughts, either.
I had a good workout at the gym today. I was inspired to start lifting weights again and my motivation comes from something I did this weekend. My car needed a tune up so I took it in Monday morning. I left my car there and walked home. The service guy called a couple hours later and said my car was done. As I was walking back to get my car, I had the thought that I needed to be REALLY grateful. Grateful that as an obese person I have the ability and the willingness to be active. So, I'm feeling a little bit like I need to take advantage of this. Who knows, the motivation may wear off in a couple days but I need to take it where I can find it.

You should carry your mace in case you are attacked by the westomaha crime syndicate.
My mace has a leaky nozzle thingy. The last time I carried it, I got some pepper spray on my hand. As soon as I got home, I had to pee and forgetting about the pepper spray on my hand, I wiped. Very bad situation.
