Damn.... someone brought up the PJs! YES, I admit it that I have a similar number of sets of PJs as the number of amenity kits I've already copped to! To be honest, though, I tend to think of the PJs (and especially the slippers - OMG!) as diversion from the amenity kit condition. After all, I really do use them at least once after a flight - then, predictably, they end up shoved in a chest of drawers in one of the guest rooms at home (my own private space!).

After a number of weeks of therapy with my qualified mental health therapist (I haven't ventured to ask how one becomes 'qualified', but I suspect it has to do with licensure, experience dealing with first-world idiots like me with not a lot to worry about, and perhaps a few other things - @$275 an hour by the way!), I think I've stumbled upon my OCD with the amenity kits:

JUST SAY "NO"!

After all, didn't Nancy Reagan carry the torch (30 years ago? ugh!) to reject illicit drugs, and whatnot? I am going to 'man-up' and "JUST SAY NO" when offered an amenity kit in a couple of months on my next LAX-DXB flight.

Now, with respect to the PJs.....hmmm. Let me think about that one.
