Miller performed a checkup on me this morning. I was a bit embarrassed when she recommended I take the time to clean myself. She assured me it was nothing to be embarrassed about.
It can be a bit of a chore to wash yourself in space. There are no baths or showers because that would require gravity to pull the water down. Instead you have to use a pouch of small amounts of soap and water to clean yourself, using a rag to make sure the soap and water doesn't float loose in the module. It can be easy to put off, but I promised Miller I'd do it today. She sleeps on the sleeping bag that floats below me so I hope I didn't smell awful. I'd hate to be an inconvenience for her.
She says there does not seem to be anything physically wrong with me, but she will run more tests on a blood sample she took from my arm.
I hope she finds out what is wrong, as I am still feeling quite weak, and we will be landing on the icy moon of Europa soon. I made a promise to return home, I must find a way to push forward.
