the airport....Yeee!! :*(

I am going to Las Vegas tomorrow

I take a med that I once had a script for but no longer have a script for...but with no script it is scheduled so even though it helps me focus and function and act a bit more "normal" and I am somewhat dependent on it, I can't take it with me since I no longer have a script and I can't get a script because I need help talking to the doctor and I no longer have anyone to help me...

I also have herbal supplements to help with my sensory and cognitive issues...will they want to search/confiscate those? They include b vitamins, l-theanine, and something called neurozime (or something like that (for cognitive function)...because I easily become very overwhelmed and scatterbrained.

I also want to take Puppetrina with me (my puppet I talk through and make videos of)...but I am worried they will want to seach/confiscate her...

I have been told that they completely x-ray everybody and that I will be stopped and searched just for seeming strange and I can't not seem strange...

Is it really THAT draconian....

Will they confiscate my Badger Balms that I rub on my temples for stress just because they are in metal tins?
Will I completely hold up the line for having stuff like my herbal supplements and badger balm on me...
Would they want to dismantle Puppetrina, who's body is held together with metal springs?
Would they really have the right to confiscate her?

Anyone have tips on do's and donts of the whole airport thing?

Yes, they will probably confiscate your drugs. We have GNC's here, you can get more of the non prescription. As for the scripted one, go to the pharmacy that filled it, they will have record of you having a script. The puppet they may want to scan, but if it's only springs and no wires you can put it in the checked luggage and they ought to leave it alone.

I am only planning on taking the supplements..liquid b-vitamins for stress and l-theanine..an amino acid found in green tea...I am just anxious about going for 3 days without the one I can't take with me..I want to take puppetrina in the carry-on...I am upset about multiple little things....

I have been behaving very badly and negatively towards Flakey..and calling him "sir" which he hates.....we have to leave in 2 hours..I will not be able to sleep till we get on the plane...

I can't stop being hostile and negative because I don't want to go....I am incredibly nervous and mad at myself for behaving so badly...I also can't focus enough to pack...I am just sitting in a heap of stuff....

I have a necklace tied on my neck with a piece of hemp twine that is so tangled that it won't come off unless I cut it ...will they make me take it off?

ok in vegas now..less bad than I thought it was gonna be so far..Puppetrina and my ukulele made it through security.....I have only had to cover my ears once...I curtail sensory overload by focusing on one object and ignoring everything else around..our hotel is the Rio...they charge out the wazoo for everything...the tv is mostly pay tv and I accidentally pushed the wrong button and 6 bucks was automatically added to our bill...at least one of the "free" tv programs is exercise tv and it has yoga and stuff...
I am decompressing from the plane ride which was very scenic..
the view from our hotel room at least has mountains in the distance...
I had to interrupt my yoga video to do some internet stuff...
Now I have to go take a shower...
Today we go to our convention and
Tonight we are supposed to go see Penn and Teller...
