Premonition?

I had a dentist appointment scheduled this afternon (sssh, don't tell Brian). Note the use of the word "had." I just got off the phone with the receptionist, who advised me the dentist has called in sick today, and could I please reschedule. (This is my second conversation with her this week; earlier we moved the appointment from 2:30 up to 2:00.)

What is odd is that when I arrived at work today, I actually pondered, "If I have to cancel, they'll charge me a fee. Well, what if he cancels, say, because he's sick?" Weird.

The most annoying part is that I have mentally psyched myself up for this visit for a week — I am not a fan of dental work. Not to mention, I'd arranged my work, come in early / stayed late / worked from home this week, and otherwise cleared my afternoon.
