Tracy Island, later that same afternoon.
Journal Entry #1.
Well, here we go. Today I actually feel rested. The sleeping pills Dianne gave me worked, thank God. I don't know how much more of those nightmares I can stand. I guess I would rate how I feel around an 8, if I'm to stick to Dianne's instructions. I guess if I write all this stuff down, she'll be able to tell if the meds and therapy are working! Well, half the team is gone out on a call to London and so it's quiet at the moment. Later, I will talk to Scott about alternate training that I can do while I'm grounded. Note: no reactions to meds at this time.
Elise put down her pen and closed the journal. Stretching, she walked over to her balcony and looked out over the island. It was quiet. Soon the team would return and all the hustle and bustle of the de-briefing would liven things up for a while.
She walked back into her bedroom and flopped onto the bed. Looking over at the photo of herself and her parents, she smiled.
"I promise I'll get over this, and I WILL be the pilot I once was. I miss you guys." Turning her head away, she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
