Day 9,788

I have purchased decorative Earth vegetation!

My vessel booted up quite easily this morning, despite remaining active until 12:00 AM. I did consume more hot burnt bean extract at my place of employment, which I will hereinafter refer to as “magic bean sauce," as I have grown quite fond of the flavor. I defecated twice during my hours of labor. My vessel was still sneezing frequently today, but my peers find it humorous, so I do not find it to be problematic.

There was a humorous incident at my place of employment today, which caused evacuation during mid-day sustenance consumption. Still better timing than the incident 3 years prior, when evacuation was prompted during defecation. I calmly placed my sea crustaceans and grain back into the container, and exited the building with my crustaceans. It was quite cold outside, as America is currently in its winter season. A peer lent me a neck warming garment, for which I was very grateful. It was very kind of her, though I am not as sensitive to coldness as other earthlings. 

After my hours of labor—during which I believe I accomplished many tasks, leaving me feel fulfillment—, I visited 3 establishments for item procurement, and 1 establishment for sustenance consumption, with my Earth mother. We consumed sustenance of the Chinese kind, provided by a screaming Chinese female earthling. My cookie had a paper inside, which said "The feeling of adventure is what sets the tone." I always have a feeling of adventure. I am exploring a foreign planet.

I purchased freeze dried strawberries for a recipe for recreational sustenance, which I will be creating during my days of no labor and unlimited sleep. I also purchased some additional face paint, as I found them to be aesthetically pleasing, and I enjoy decorating my vessel. 

I also purchased an excessive quantity of decorative Earth vegetation, as you may have observed from the images sprinkled throughout this report. 

I did not forget about my companion mammal, or my companion reptile. I purchased some vegetation pods as well, which I will be tending to until they sprout into additional sustenance for the reptile I have named, "Barry." The canine mammal received 2 bags of recreational sustenance upon our return to the habitat. I have attempted to consume this sustenance created for canine mammals before. However, it was much too hard for my human teeth. The companion mammal seemingly enjoys it, however.

I am enjoying my time here, on Earth. Though some days I curse myself for choosing to land on this planet, out of all planets, into this vessel, out of all of the vessels, I have found joy here. I find joy in my companion mammals, reptile, and fish. I find joy in tending to my decorative Earth vegetation. I find joy in the music of the now deceased earthling, Elvis Presley. I find joy in being with my Earth mother. I find joy in the earthlings in my environment who, though they may not understand me or fully know what I am, love me regardless. Though I occasionally feel homesick for my planet, and wish to return to the stars, my days here on Earth are limited, as are the days of those I love. I shall enjoy every moment here with my loved ones, and learn as much as I possibly can, until the day my vessel ceases to function. I will report back my findings daily.
