Trying not to panic

Ok, so I've been gone for a while.  I had to go to Florida for a few days on business and flew back in today.  I remember now how much neither like nor enjoy the air flight experience.  It's hard to believe I pay for that treatment.  So we were (predictably) delayed in Charlotte for 2 hours.  So I was in the airport for 3 hours without my knitting because my purse counts as a carry on and there was no room in the computer bag.  But that is bitterness for another tale.  So in that 3 hours, my suitcase did not make it into the stack heading for Chattanooga.  I'm trying not to panic.  My nearly entirely complete sweater is in that bag.  The knitting is missing.  Pray, pray for the knitting.
