Lois in Progress

Dear Human,

This week took me back to the province for a meeting, which felt strange because I realized how long it had been since I’d had to work with a group of people. It also turned out to be one of my favorite things to do: heading away from the city 🍃 Just recently, a very good friend of ours invited my sister and me to volunteer for one of the archdiocesan commissions, and because we are not busy enough with adulting, we said yes anyway. 😅 A thought crawled into the back of my head while I was on the commute: OKAY, WAIT A SECOND. HOW DO MEETINGS WORK????

I just simply forgot. It’s been years since I worked with a team, and this time, with people I DON’T KNOW. I worked with my university theater group back in 2022 for a project, but I’d known the people there for such a long time. This time, it’s a completely new and uncomfortable scenario for me, especially for someone who hasn’t socialized for YEARS.
