Day 9,791

 

I did not initiate sleep mode until 3:00 AM, and did not startup until 2:00 PM today. I began my day with my favorite part of every day: sustenance consumption! My Earth mother and I visited a sustenance consumption establishment, called a “restaurant,” in which other earthlings prepare your sustenance in exchange for currency.

The establishment that we visited had a “buffet.” A buffet consists of a variety of sustenance placed in large containers on a table, which the consumer earthlings retrieve themselves. Traditionally, the earthlings sneeze and cough on the sustenance, prior to placing it on their platters. I always consume so much sustenance, that my vessel’s abdomen becomes so full that mobility is compromised. Earthlings call this a “food coma.” 

The sustenance that I selected at the buffet is as shown in the above images. It was all delicious, though I could not quite identify it all.

We then visited the Mart of Wal, which I find to be an odd name considering the fact that I have never found a Wal there, nor do I know who Wal is.

I purchased another decorative Earth vegetation, an upper garment, sustenance vegetation pods (as America is nearing Spring), beverages, sustenance vegetation for my companion reptile, and moist feces chute wipes.

Upon return to the habitat, I produced recreational sustenance.

I am beginning to feel concern in regards to the amount of decorative Earth vegetation that I have purchased, and the amount of American currency I have used. However, I feel joy when I lie in my room of decorative Earth vegetation—a small jungle of refuge that I have created. Perhaps, whether it be in regards to currency or emotions or physical energy and time, it is not the amount expended that is important, but rather, whether or not however much was expended, was expended for something important. Importance also varies between earthlings, and earthlings tend to forget this. Earthlings tend to be heavily affected by one another, in the process losing the data of what is important to them, rather than what should be important to them, from the perspective of external others, and I believe it to be an important task, to pause and ponder every once in a while, to ask oneself again, what is important.
