Apparently, there's something comforting about a routine designed to make me feel better. I've gone to the same office to have botox shots for dysphonia long enough that I could probably walk from the waiting room to the shot-giving room with my eyes closed. I know that when I leave the waiting room, I'll walk down the hall, turn left, and go into the same room where I always have my shot. Just as I'm about to round the corner, Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Up Around The Bend" often comes to mind; I like how the tune's lyrical optimism parallels my turn around the corner each time, so I hope it continues to be my earworm during subsequent appointments.
