Screwed up and accidentally flushed a baby wipe

Just completely lost my mind, don't know why I did it. It was just 1 wipe. I re-flushed a couple of times and nothing seems to be clogged.

Bonus points - I'm on a septic tank

Double Bonus - I have a 2nd tank with an effluent pump

Triple bonus - In Nashville, we are having major weather issues.

Do you think 1 wipe is an emergency or should I be ok? I was already planning to get the tank pumped this year, normally I do that in early summer.
