I just do not need this right now

I am kinda freaking out. There are many reasons for this, including the sudden appearance of three deadlines that will have to be met, a score or two of appointments to keep, a flotilla of emails to send out, an event to organize, and a whole passel of errands to run before I leave the country in less than two weeks. I could go on, but I won't.

I will simply ask this question: why can I find every single library book I've checked out other than the two which have been recalled, are overdue, and for which fines are accumulating by the day?
