I'm at the airport with my cat waiting for the flights to take me home to san francisco. You know, as much as I hate flying and always get incredibly nervous and worried (thank you anxiety and ocd), amazingly I'm rather calm having my cat with me. I think having her with me (and her being even more anxious and worried and way more cooped up than me, which is always my biggest issue anyway because I always feel claustrophobic) helps calm me a lot. I think it also helps me to travel with another in general, but I'm almost always flying by myself so I get more and more isolated and nervous. I'm glad she's here with me.

having read what I just wrote makes me sound like I need mental help-- yeah, ok, I already knew that. :-)
