Moving along smoothly...

alexpgpWell, a Progress-M1 cargo vehicle took off "yesterday" at 4:32 am (Moscow time) [about 7:30 pm on the 15th here in Houston], headed for the ISS and a docking in about...15 hours or so.
Everything seems to be moving along toward that event...at any rate, the docking appears to be the focus of the comm passes I've handled tonight, though other routine matters have also been discussed.
Segue.
I think I'm finally getting used to this routine. The idea I toyed with a few days ago - breaking my sleep time into two periods, one immediately after the shift and the other immediately before the shift - is on hold. Having done it, I know it works, but I doubt it's a good long-term strategy.
For the past couple of days, I've avoided the post-shift drowsies and have had no problem staying awake until 2-3 pm or so and then getting a pretty solid "night's" sleep until 9:30 pm or so. Actually, if I do have a problem, it's that I keep getting offered work, which I keep accepting. I need to learn to say "no" from time to time, to retain my sanity, and I have to make sure I reserve some time to rest and "sharpen my saw."
I'm thinking maybe a visit to Colorado is overdue.
Next pass is in about 24 minutes or so...I'm up.
Cheers...
