The food replicators have not been functioning, so I recalled Admiral Dad from the Biblio System, and he made a layover at home-world to whip up some nourishment for the crew and brought it piping hot much to the CMO’s delight.  While on Biblio Prime, he attended a meeting of the Council of Nine with the Chief Engineer and updated them on our current progress.  There seems to be much confusion as to a time-frame for my return to home-world, but weight stress training was back up again these past two days and we are sitting at 2150 grams.

I’ve been getting really sick of my feeding tube, and yanked it out today.  Man that felt good.  Unfortunately, medical stated it was not quite time yet, so it had to be reinserted.  All in good time, but it’s difficult to remain calm about this I must admit.  All are anxious to see progress on this front.

Lieutenant Aunt Pam sent a long-range transmission requesting photographic documentation of me on the bridge for historical purposes.  I think she may be overdue for a promotion.

Also received exotic goods from Counselor Michelle, currently on leave in Cublandia, that really made my day.  I miss seeing her, and look forward to our rendezvous back at home-world in the near future.

Stay Calm.
