Car Overheating

I had quite a fright yesterday as I was driving, the light to my thermostat went on and it was at 260F. I freaked out. Well, my inside was panicking, but I just drove the last stretch to get home and park my car in the shade to let it cool off. I was originally planning on going to Safeway after going to the mall to return the pants I got from Banana, but after seeing my car do that... I just decided to give up and go home. I was really freaked out.

I called up my dad and he was giving me a string of worst possible scenarios in my really freaked out state of mind, which I did not appreciate so I was kind of loud, obnoxious and screechy. Ok, make that very loud, obnoxious and screechy. When I get scared or if I'm panicking and people only say things that freak me out more, I can't become nice. I yell, I get upset, and I'm just a mess, very not fun to deal with. (The saddest part is that I know this of myself =_=) Anyway, he told me to put some water in the thingy, which I did and to watch for leaks, which there weren't any. Not that I know of anyway.

Then my uncle came over to check up on my car and we didn't see anything wrong, so it might have just been the thermostat or that the water was low. It's been really warm these last few days, so we think that may be why =_=; *sigh* I really had a bad scare yesterday. I need to drive my car later tonight to test it out again 'cause I have to go to the city and I don't want my car to explode on me or something =_= So not a good feeling.

On the bright side... my taxes got filed and my check was deposited so life is good on the legal side. Now I have to go run off my stress and the dinner I just consumed. I'm still feeling kind of hungry, but I think it's my mind playing tricks on me. If I sit here any longer, I'm just going to continue eating. Better go run it all off. I'm getting so fat =_=;
