Today was particularly productive. Sort of. At least, where thoughts are concerned. And that counts for something, doesn't it? Basically, it started like this:
It was raining when I woke up. I'm beginning to hate rain. I'm beginning to hate being wet. Actually, delete that – I do hate being wet and I do hate rain. Yeuch. I'm tired of being so wet that I'm likely to stay so sodden my skin will go all wrinkly. This planet likes rain, I've realized. It has like a love affair with rain. It never stops raining. No wonder the plants here are so ginormous and everything. Maybe I'll move to Tatooine after I get off this slimy rock.
So, I started thinking. Why not build a shelter? I have an R2 unit who'll be able to cut through some of the wood – if I can find non-wet wood – so I'll probably be able to scratch something together and keep the rain off.
Once the rain stopped (which was really late in the afternoon) I went looking for wood. I found some and piled it up on the beach. Tomorrow I'm going to start building something. Or, at least, Aree is going to start building something. I can't cut through wood. In the meantime, I'm going to look for some more birds' eggs and this time, I'm not going to run into any more Pink Furies.
(I hope).

I found three eggs! Lucky me! And all my ration bars are gone!
Oh… I have a really, really bad feeling about this. Welcome to starvation, Keri. Maybe there are some plants that are edible. Problem is, I don't know what is what!

So, basically, Aree's not thrilled with me right now. I had him cutting wood all day long while I looked for food. Well, a girl's got to eat somehow. I didn't meet anymore Pink Furies, but I found this really odd looking thing. It's like half-reptile, half-bird. It's orange and yellow and it has pink wings and is really funky looking. I don't like it.
I think it's the pink wings.
It followed me home.

Great. I have a pet now. The Funny Thing That Followed Me Home is curled up by my feet.
It has fangs.
Should I be worried now?

I just noticed this and I think I might have a slight problem developing: there's a rash on my hand. I'm not sure how it got there and it's getting really itchy and it's making my skin look weird. It's all… bumpy and yellow and red.
Um… I don't think this is good.

Rash is getting worse. Maybe because I only just noticed it and am now watching it. It's really, really, really itchy! Ugh! Where's hand lotion when you need it? I wish this datapad came with those little facey things that express your emotions, because I could really use the "Face That Is Disgruntled" one right now. Itchy!
On the up side, Aree finished cutting wood. We can start trying to build the shelter tomorrow.
The Funny Thing That Followed Me Home just slinked off. I wonder where it went. Hopefully it went away for good.

Well, I just got woken up by the Funny Thing That Followed Me Home. It was staring me in the face and its eyes were crossed. It was kind of creepy.
I hate this planet.
But it brought me a present. At least, I think it's a present. It's a rodent of some kind. I think it's edible. At least, it's quite dead so I don't have to kill anything this time.
