Reflections: Doubts can paralyse you. Sometimes, it is necessary to simply pull a Nike and "Just Do It!"

I have spent most of the previous week sick at home from a bad batch of cans. Boy, was I glad there was no botulism involved. While down with the bug, I had the opportunity to plan my next moves. There had to be a careful balance between finding fellow survivors and to ensure that no harm came to myself by letting stragglers in. I had no illusions about the kindness of my fellow human beings when resources are scarce and the fact that my prowess in self-defence was not on the top of my list of abilities.
I had decided to extend my forays in the open to cover as much ground as possible. To spread the message that I am a healthy human to other potential survivors, I needed to obtain loudspeakers to attach to the top of my MPV, and also spray paint to leave messages at various areas. Both of these were easily obtainable from another trip to the Mines.
The problem here was destination. Where should I direct the survivors to meet up? HQ Alternate was going to be my little secret, so the only available option now was to clean up the apartment on the 20th floor that I raided and prepare it for visitors. This way, I can maintain a barrier between the refugees and myself.
I made the trip to The Mines today and obtained the equipment I required, as well as additional food supplies without incident. To avoid exhaustion from my sickness, I limited myself to designing placards to place at the lift lobbies of my apartment complex to direct people to the unit on the 20th floor. My next step would be to clear the corpses and store some supplies in that apartment, hereby designated Refugee Home.
Once my strength is up, I shall begin my exploration to see if anybody else survived the Problem outbreak.
End log.
Great. :) /Snofs
