I brought a small, stuffed dog with me this morning. It's possible that this makes me pathetic, but I don't really care because he's fluffy and soft and very comforting.
This is exactly what I've been saying! Rather too timidly, so my "it should be perfectly acceptable for adults to bring a stuffed animal" campaign hasn't really taken off, but seriously. Some days you just need something soft and comforting that you can hug. I say it's realistic, not pathetic. :) And I have a small teddy bear (who happens to be dressed in a Star Trek uniform) that I bring with me sometimes. I usually know when I'm going to need him.
Good thing... way too late to be useful to you, but maybe tomorrow--we had a tiny little potluck lunch with the ESL faculty today, and it was the first time in ages I've looked forward to a meal. It also forced me to buy nicer things than I buy for myself, so I got to eat olives. Turns out my cat is crazy about them, too.
