{{{Tommy}}} I'd be beside myself, so I have no advice on not being anxious.
Giles, help! He's going to scold me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, maybe a small amount of booze... Also, slow regulated breaths. But really, I mostly find those things effective on no-good-reason anxiety.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I would be drinking large amounts of booze, myself.

I'm not the best example, but I drank a lot with Mister Kitty's illness when I didn't have to care for him. I'm not endorsing it. I just got maudlin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How can I make it go away, without drinking large amounts of booze?
God, I wish I knew. I mean, I'd suggest narcotics, so I'm no help at all. Also, breaking things.
So don't listen to me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

When Ozzie got diagnosed, I swore a lot, then after work went home and yelled at the vet (who totally deserved it, since he prescribed twice as much insulin as he should have, but then luckily forgot to call the prescription in), and then drank.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Has ABC gone off the air for anyone else?
Really weird. Several minutes of dead. And its not like my cable is out because I don't HAVE cable.

I cried a lot in the vet's office too. At one point, I think I freaked out the waiting patients. The awesome semi-goth ( she reminds me visually of the chick on NCIS) receptionist gave me a hug and walked me out when I became a blubbering idiot.
All the alcohol did was make me call my parents and cry harder. Which, well, it was probably a good thing. They're closest to me, they share the pet-cat-love thing, and I am mostly not embarrassed to cry in front of them.
Aw, man, tommy, I hope you don't go through my worst nightmares. Gonna go torment my cats now.

OK, since you people already know I'm a dork... I pried open my utitlity closest. Dude, I have a brand new furnace too! And they hauled out the old monster a/c unit. No idea how, cause it was bigget than the door. And they left no mess!
I think I'll pass out in shock.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
God, I wish I knew. I mean, I'd suggest narcotics, so I'm no help at all. Also, breaking things.
So don't listen to me.
Too late.
Well, at least I haven't broken anything.
I watched the two Episodes of The Simpsons from last Sunday. That made me laugh, which tends to be a good stress release for me.
Hmmm.... maybe watch another episode of Buffy? (I've watched the first four episodes of season one so far....)
