Day 3
1,000LY from Cel
Other than reaching one thousand light years away from the birthplace of ponykind...today was really boring. Nothing interesting. At all. Like, I found Jack and Shit. Maybe one metal rich planet but everything else were just balls of rock or big freaking snowballs.
So with little to write about I figure I'll write about my daily routine. Cause I really can't think of anything else.
So first things first, I have my ship's chronometer synced up with my homeworld Harmony, time zone +6. And I'm in a Cobra Mk.III. My cockpit/crew compartment is only about the size of my parents bedroom back home, with a small refresher. It's cramped but livable.
My never faltering internal clock always wakes me up around 8AM, give or take a few minutes. If I'm really tired I'll let myself sleep an extra thirty minutes. I'll get out of bed, and hit the refresher for my morning shower. I have to be pretty careful with how long I take though, my water tank isn't exactly huge. But at least I get a short yet warm morning shower. And yes I know I could use a sonic shower or one of the myriad of different auto cleaning spells you can buy, but I've always preferred a good old fashioned water shower. After that it's just the remainder of my morning hygiene.
Then its breakfast. The food isn't actually as bad as I thought it was gonna be. The wonder of magic that is my meal dispenser actually does wonders for the 'space food'. Out of the box the stuff tastes like cardboard. But the dispenser apparently has all kinds of spellwork to prepare food. Thank Celestia. I'd go nuts if I had to eat the, let's call it 'raw', dehydrated food. I also made sure I had my tea. Can't live without my morning tea.
By then it is usually 9AM. After that I have an hour to myself. I normally chill on my bed with my datapad and open the GalNet to take a look at what's going on in the news. Maybe exchange a few messages with friends or my parents. Even play some sims.
At ten on the dot I get into my flight suit, and get in my pilot's seat and start Curiosity back up. I then spend the next four hours exploring. At 2PM I stop, shut down most of the systems and have my lunch. I usually allow myself thirty minutes to eat and chill. Then it is back into my seat for the next seven and a half hours. I normally park the ship in orbit of a planet and call it a day around 10PM.
After I shut down the ship its dinner time. After dinner I have another shower and clean myself up. Then it's a few hours of me time. Tonight I watched a movie. And around midnight, which is right now, I write my journal entry for the day. Then it is bedtime. Turn off all the lights and tint the canopy so its opaque (My bed is just behind the pilot and co-pilots seats). And off to dreamland.
Rinse and repeat.
And I'm really tired. Time to go to bed.
Until next time,
