Went to ER. For various and sundry reasons, including serendipity, I think this one might have worked. I'll have to work during the four day weekend to avoid having to take off non-existent sick time, but I'm dizzingly okay with that.
Naptime.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I often forget and have a lip balm in my pocket, or a bottle of water in my bag.
Wait, so I am going to have to remove my lipstick from my purse and put it in the quart ziplock bag? Oh, how dumb.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Lipstick is fine. A pot of lipgloss should be in the bag. Apparently.

I just want to make sure the security people don't suddenly say "Surprise! You have to throw away that brand new tube of NARS lipstick, so sorry".

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
This, and many other reasons, is why I just check everything.

Well, I'm going to have a carry-on no matter what, because there is NO WAY I am putting Clovis in checked luggage. If the airlines lost my wardrobe, I'd be pissed. If they separated me from my Devilbunny, Pete and I would probably snap. So, it's best not to take chances.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
They lost my luggage once and I never got it back. Checking luggage now causes me great anxiety.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My bag got thoroughly searched in Tucson the other day, and the TSA guy said it was because the way my keys and book settled next to each other looked suspicious. He really seemed to be suggesting I travel without one or the other, too.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
SFO has kindly started providing quart bags, which is nice. Still doesn't quite alleviate the frustration of STUPID rules, but it's nice!
Oh! When I was in the screening line at SFO on Friday( noticing the quart bags), all of a sudden there was COMMOTION at the metal detectors, and some dude TOOK OFF, knocking down signage and everything to block his chasers' way. He ran outside, several guards and cops ran after him, and then two squad cars started chasing him. No idea what happened or why he took off, but there was excitement and pandemonium for a minute. Luckily, we didn't get delayed at all, but it's still not how one wishes to start one's Christmas trip.
