Day 3

Short one today - I don't anticipate writing every day, but a couple things stuck in my mind at the moment.

Didn't work out tonight, fell into the trap of coming home, curling up with some wine and trying to drown my thoughts. Still on track with  my calories for the day, even with the wine and without the workout, so that's a bonus.

Went out with my co-workers for lunch - one girl is leaving and tomorrow is her last day. Team dynamics are a funny thing...I never feel so isolated as I do when I am with a group that doesn't understand me that well and may not have the capacity to even follow my uniqueness (putting it nicely).

I can be in Detroit, or NYC, or even here with a few people, knowing without question we could all survive together, the trust is there but so is the knowledge that comes with long, deep friendships. But here alone, how would I go about building a band to fight together? Or would I just become the crazy, well fortified recluse?

Also bemoaning my lack of a boy at the moment, but that is another topic for another day.

Food for future thought - roles within a team, who/professions to include, what skills would be valuable? For now, I'm going to hope the world isn't thrown into chaos while I sip my pinot noir in my cushy apartment. I'm going to do some research and develop a list of stereotypical characters in survivor teams - what role would you play?

  2. Healer, I think. It is the closet I can get in this type of world other than Mom.
