Paranoia

[therealocelot]

Today I was riding the bus, with Leif in his carrier. He was sleepy, and just kind of staring up at me. He wasn't moving, not even blinking, and for a moment I was afraid he'd somehow died. Then I touched him, and he moved, and my heart rate slowly returned to normal

I've touched DJ to make sure she's alive. I'll bet it's common. :)

I've done it before, with both Leif and the cats, but I don't think it's ever given me quite this much an adrenalin rush.

Tell the Grands I said "Hi."

I said that once about New Mexico, and I'm still waiting for something to happen. :)

And yes, I too have had that "My kid's dead?" scary thrill, on a few occasions. It's worse when they've been sick for a few days.
