Journal Entry: Sol 237

05:30 AM - The soft hum of the habitat wakes me. Check the view. Still there. My window is tiny, but the Earth fits in just fine.

06:00 AM - Shift starts. Heading over to the solar panel array. Routine maintenance to ensure we keep the lights on and the habitats warm. It's peaceful work.

08:30 AM - Had to “pop into” the comms. Sarah “did something” to their climate control panel. Again. “As long as you’re nearby”. Ughh.

09:00 AM - Break time. Head to the glasshouse for a cup of coffee. The trees are in bloom. I miss the spring.

12:00 PM - Midday, and the sun blazes overhead. Which is not ideal: the landing craft is due for inspection. (A routine check to ensure it's ready for the next supply run.) Thank God for the shades in our helmets.

03:00 PM - The meeting hall is buzzing. Kinda nostalgic. Like you’re in a mall or something.

05:00 PM - Minor repairs on a rover. It’s got a good few years left in it. But looks like we’re gonna need the folks up at the Ol’ Jelly to send down a spare chip.

07:00 PM - Tuesday air battle. Crushed again by the mighty engineers. Sure, have your fun. Good thing paper airplanes don’t need repairs, huh?

08:00 PM Saw Tim. Still very hush-hush about his new job. I always wonder what exactly goes on behind the doors of the HQ. Such a huge building. And what are those gold panels on the sides for? Can’t be just for show.

10:00 PM - Back in my habitat, I reflect on the day. The beauty of the lunar base is in its routine. It's not glamorous, but it's ours. As I settle into my bunk, I steal one last glance at Earth before the lights dim. Another sol on the moon, and I can't help but feel grateful for this extraordinary, ordinary life.
