Doctor's Diary--Lunar 1

January 18, 2074
Dear Diary,
I'm on third watch. A rather boring shift, but I like that. There isn't a lot of work to do here, even during the busier shifts. Our diet is carefully planned, we all have a strict exercise regimen, and injuries are very rare. Most of the work done here is maintenance--contraceptives, of course, because the ecosystem of Lunar 1 will not be able to support more people for another ten years; and physicals, and minor first aid for lacerations and abrasions. Life is good in Lunar 1.
Another important task during the first two shifts is training. The Students have to learn many skills: heart, brain, and other diagnostics and surgeries; even work we know we don't have, like how to birth a baby. It's very important for our Students to know these skills, because some day they'll be Teachers. I'm on duty tonight with a Section 4 medical student, May. She just broke up with her partner; something about him not being open to her bisexuality. There are very few singles here; most of us came as couples (Tara says it's better for morale; ironic, because she's one of the few singles). My wife and I are in an open relationship, tho, so maybe I'll try to spend more time with May. She is beautiful. It's just a shame that even here, some people aren't open to diverse sexuality; we came here to escape the Terran ways and form a new life for ourselves. I guess even on the moon, we can't escape our nature.
Tomorrow's third meal is my favorite, veal cutlets made from peanuts. It's an old recipe of George Washington Carver. Don't care much for the carrots tho. I eat them because I know they're part of the dietary needs. Maybe I'll ask chef for the veal recipe; even though I can't cook, it would be great to put in my diary.
Time to leave; the wife's waiting.
