OT: Update on my Flying

Hi!
My trip is getting very close........I leave on Saturday morning. 
I'm doing pretty well...not in a mad panic over this past 2 weeks but I am feeling a little anxious this afternoon...hope it passes quickly.  I'm hoping by talking about it (well, by posting about it) I can discharge the anxiety.

Fear of flying.......there's an app for that..........LOL.........I just purchased and downloaded the Virgin Atlantic "fear without flying" course (app for the iphone).  I have not listened to it yet but will before I go to sleep.

To prepare for my flight I have loaded lots of soothing/relaxing music,  a scrabble app and a sudoku app so I can play and keep myself busy.  I'm also going for a "refresher" hypno therapy session on Friday morning.  I am amazed at just how unbothered (is that a word??)  I've been by the thought of flying....normally I'd be sick to my stomach and more than likely would have canceled the trip again. 

I am looking forward to getting home SO MUCH!  I haven't seen some of my family and friends for almost 2 years!!!!!!!
I'm already making plans for a trip to Omaha, a trip to Denver and a trip to Seattle.  Positive thinking!!!!

Thanks again to everyone for your support and your encouraging messages.  I'll let you know how it goes after I land. 
TTFN

Way to go Ruth!
I'm proud of you and during takeoff just close your eyes and meditate. That's what I do...along with holding my hubby's hand!

Have fun seeing your family and long lost friends. Your world is opening up and you are stomping those fears right out of your hair! Hugs- Debbie

Some people might not support my WLS decision. 
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.
