Oof

Helped my club out with the annual "Sunshine Breakfast" for the faculty and staff at the college. Meant getting up really early. Meant eating and running (without tea). Meant lots of standing and scrubbing. And, thanks to a former cook who told us all what to do and took over the stove, it was a smashing success.

But now I'm tired.

However, it's done, it was fun, and I found out that one of my accounting classmates (who's graduating on Saturday) was in PTK. I had wondered.

( Blather )

But now I should go. To nap or desod, I'm not sure yet. Probably nap. I really am tired.

Hoping you all had a good weekend, and may the week be even better.

Cheers!

Done did and To do.

Star date 264326535.4:

We managed to stay on schedule despite being attacked by rogue beings that looked like tree roots on the planet Alpha Garden's surface. The commander made references to religious beings and places, several times, as we applied pressure from one direction and another with little success. We "pulled out all the tools in the tool box," as he said, and managed to "make it out alive." His statements seemed improbable exaggerations, as the beings were known to be tethered to the surface, allowing for us to retreat if necessary.

It was odd to find they were replications of their former selves, and that we had essentially been battling tactile shadows, however. Their remains have been laid to rest, and that quadrant is now clear of any hostile lifeforms. We have sent notice to Star Fleet that recolonization can occur safely now.

Tomorrow we will have the task of moving several old friends of the Federation to new homes. The captain commented that it is a shame we have not found the Astilbes a suitable final home at this time, but he believes it will not be long before we will find one. He assured me they will be comfortable in their temporary home in the meantime when I asked if we should be concerned for their well-being.

We will also be welcoming new Federation members. I do not understand why everyone laughed when the commander asked, "Where did all the Thyme go," though. Neither Thymians have disappeared; we are fully aware of where they currently are. We also are aware of where they will be once we ferry them to their respective homes, so his remark seemed curiously inane. I think it is supposed to be a joke, but when I asked why it was funny, they tried telling me about how time moves at different speeds at different times. I do not understand how quantum physics makes that statement funny, however.

It also seems highly disrespectful to make fun of the Thymians' name. However, the captain did not deem it worthy of recording as an offense against the commander. And yet, later, when I picked up L. Thyme, moved him to my other side, and said I was "just passing the Thyme," he reprimanded me.

Humans are strange.
