God, why am I such a mess?

I cannot really function. I feel itchy and crawly all over...and totally not myself. I feel totally alienated from myself. I wouldn't have expected to have such a strong reaction. What the hell is wrong with me? I guess it really is a deep phobia. What a bloody wimp.

Anyway, I just realized that with feeling like this I could NOT handle the ridiculously overlong bus ride. I would probably be completely insane by the end of it. The reason I had taken the bus instead of flying in the first place was that I am trying not to fly whenever I can...trying to reduce that carbon footprint. But I just said, fuck it. I just booked the flight for 2 1/2 hours from now. Carbon emissions and all. Sigh. Oh well. I can't wait to be in my own home, and to try and relax.

You're not wimpy at all. You have a real phobia and are reacting to an experience that would be bad for anyone but is horrible for someone with a bug phobia.

Don't be so hard on yourself. It's been a crappy, stressful year for you. You were looking forward to the weekend and go the hotel experience from hell. It is no wonder you just want to be home. I hope you're there soon.

I'm sorry that you're having such a lousy weekend (oops--that's a dreadful--and unintentional, I swear!--pun). I hope that being back in your own space helps you feel better. Rest up and take care, dear!

go have a nice long shower/bath in your own clean tub and have a good sleep in your own clean bed.

Ugh! Just thinking about your ordeal makes me itchy! I hope you feel better once you are home. Oh and I totally would have caught the next flight home too, carbon emissions and all!!

It would have totally freaked me out too--I have some serious issues about (shudder) small creatures like that. I think not taking the bus is an excellent idea. Hope being home helps.

Good lord, woman. I would be completely freaking out, and my phobia is mild (if one can have a mild phobia?) compared to your! Give yourself a break, ok?
