Extreme case of snaggle tooth.

I found one of those too in my dog's bed! Must be a stray cat thing.

Yup exactly!!! 🤣🤣

Haha so true!! We have a new cat in our pet family too and she is now starting to finally show our dog affection and is much more comfortable with him and every time she does now, since my dog is used to her hissing and swatting at him, it is like my dog is like "what is this!??! Does she like me or is she tricking me? Oh boy, maybe she wants to play! Or maybe not....I am excited now but also still ready to dodge that paw swat." 😂

Looks like you are in the air and ascending to your cruising altitude now! I guess departure was delayed but hopefully you are not delayed too much on arrival. Hope you have a smooth flight, I'll be tracking!

Awesome!! Glad the first flight went well and glad you got to distract yourself some. Talking really can just allow you to think about anything else, which inherently helps lessen the anxiety, and then before you know it, the flight is over!

And of course, try to relax and you'll be done with this second flight and landed before you know it! ☺️

I am trying to track but not sure if their plane info is correct or changed. I assume you already landed your first flight and may be waiting to board your second? Anyways, I'll be tracking as best I can! :)

We will be here, watching and looking out for you! We are here for you and you can do it, you will be safe! You tracked my flight yesterday and that was much appreciated, so of course, I'll be tracking yours too! :)

Yes, I feel like doing that too, but I know that is probably way too dramatic 🤣. Typically, I give the pilot a huge Thank You! when I deboard instead haha!

We made it!!! Thank you for tracking me! Just waiting to taxi at a gate and deboard and get myself home and in my bed. :)

Nice!!! Yes we just landed and it was a surprisingly smooth ride, even with takeoff and landing. Hopefully the airport is not still backed up, pilot is trying to taxi at a gate now.

Yup! This one I am the most nervous for just due to the weather we may encounter while flying or landing. But just one more flight!

Awesome, thank you!! 🙏🏼

Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement. :)

Yes! I think so too. Austin airport has been much better than SLC and Sacramento. I really cannot wait to be back home tbh!

My flight to Austin is later, from Salt Lake City. I am currently waiting to board my first flight from Sacramento to Salt Lake, taking off at 5:29PM local time (DL2587). Then I will takeoff on DL4136 from SLC to Austin at 8:55PM local time. I will be coming into Austin about 12:30AM (fun!).

Sorry! That was me, I do apologize for creating an anxious frenzy regarding that, I was going through it too then. Hopefully the comments on my post helped some with reassuring you. I will also be flying into Austin this evening too. If I will be okay, so will you. I share your fears, but I have been doing a lot better today in managing myself and just reiterating what I was told. We can do this! I will track your flight too as I wait for mine. :)

I get this too, especially in morning flights. And I also can never sleep on the plane. I feel you, the anticipatory anxiety is strong when you have a fear of flying. I have 2 flights tomorrow evening and am trying to do my best to get decent sleep tonight. Just know you are not the only one! Not sure ever how to combat it besides just catching up on all the missed sleep once the flight is over.

So true, the business would not work well if we constantly fell from the sky or put ourselves in a scenario where we could.

This is very helpful and insightful! I did not realize this and this definitely eases some of the worries I had regarding the wind speed. Makes me feel much better understanding this.

Thank you! This helps a lot, I do need to repeat this to myself and put trusts into the pilots who do this everyday. I know my anxiety is unwarranted but sometimes I have to vent it to release it and allow myself to correct it. This is much appreciated.

Thank you for the comment. I was not aware of this, this is very reassuring!

Thank you, this helps a lot. I do need to trust that the pilots know what they are doing and would not put us or themselves in unnecessary danger.

Thank you all for the reassurance. This really helps me a lot. I know my fear is not rational and stems from just a fear of the unknown and being so high up in the air. I have not flown a lot in my life, so this would be my first flight in potentially stormy or windy conditions. Of course I am going to fly, because rational me knows it will be fine and I do want to get home, and I know the pilots want the same as well. Irrational me is what starts getting to me sometimes when it comes to flying, just due to not knowing what is going on and being so out of control. The reassurance from others who have flown in different weather conditions or do fly themselves really helps ease those developing worries and I am better able to tell myself that it will be okay.
