On station...

alexpgpA very quiet night. Not a peep from the crew yet, and they've been up for just over 4 hours. According to the schedule, they should be finished with the weekly "housecleaning" of the station, and going on to other tasks.
I caught up earlier by preparing a couple of invoices. Another sweet payday coming up, but that'll be a month down the line.
Aha! Comm with the crew! The usual morning chit-chat, along with news that the proposed effort to aid the search for a missing helicopter in the Russian Far East from space has been called off, because the chopper, with the Governor of Sakhalin Island and most of the island's political movers and shakers as passengers, has been found. (There were, alas, no survivors, according to Russian news reports.)
I tried my hand, too, at writing a letter the old fashioned way (by hand, on stationery). It's actually hard to do, since I hardly write much at all in longhand any more. One thing I notice is a wildly varying writing style; I suspect a handwriting analyst (such as the ones hired by some large companies to screen potential employees) would have a lot of fun dissecting my scrawls.
I seem to have gotten back on track taking my BP meds. For a while, there, I was missing doses here and there, particularly the one I should be taking in the (actual) middle of the day, which corresponds to my virtual "pre-sleep" period between about 3 pm and 10 pm.
Off to review some flight documents.
Cheers...
