Lazy Day

I woke up at 4am and remembered that I was supposed to - I was on elk spotting duty.  I ran in my jams to the boiler room and pulled on my rainslick gear, but, as it turned out, it didn't rain.

The restricted diet meant I had no energy to run today.  I plodded along and dodged elk dung.  Dr. Ian says it will take my body about four days to get used to reduced calories, no sugar, and limited if any caffeine.  Beautiful. 

I saw a little squirrel about six inches tall - at most.  Really tiny guy  nibbling at a toadstool.  Looked like a fairy tale drawing. 

I saw no one around the base today and nothing much happened but tomorrow I really do have to run and make sure I make it to Portland 1 base and get some tests done.  Eerily the Commander has been avoiding me, but it could be my imagination.  Until next time readers... :D
