thoughts at 3am

This morning, I woke up from a bad dream at 3AM, and somehow my mind wandered over to getting speeding tickets. From there, it occurred to me that my car's registration renews this month. For reasons that I still don't understand, I managed to convince myself that I had thrown away the registration card that I received in the mail, and that I no longer had a valid registration in the car. So at 3AM, I'm freaking out wondering what will happen if I get pulled over and can't provide the registration half of the obligatory "license & registration". Then I'm pondering that I guess I'll have to go to the DMV this week to get another copy, and what a huge pain that will surely be. A bit later I tried to convince myself that I didn't throw it away, and that calmed me enough to eventually drift off to sleep. This morning, I went out to the car, and of course the registration card was in the car. I hate my brain sometimes.
