Nah, weird is the guy with one curtain on his rack. You can either see his feet, his head, or both depending on the maneuver involved.

That's my motivation to leave for the gym.

Just remember, at least once a week the supply department is gonna roll through your stateroom and mark every item that brings you joy as "hazardous" or "unauthorized"...especially most things electrical.

Keep a bit of space in your closet/desk for the "unauthorized" items. They do not (should not) open those up.

A roll of Velcro or double-sided tape
Teflon/silicone lube
Headlamp for reading in bed
LED flashlight
Multitool for on the spot fixes of random things
3M Command hooks
paracord
Earplugs (acquire these however you like, but they're a lifesaver if your stateroom is next to machinery/cat/LA)
Toe socks if you plan on running the PRT in fivefingers
Food you can make in a microwave or with hot water
Condiments of choice (hot sauce/sriracha, honey, etc.)
Coffee/tea of choice
Bunn filters - 1000 for $13 on amazon

A week? Of the pasta "salad" bar? That's it? Try like a month when your logistical tail zigs and NAVCENT tells the carrier "zag; you're being extended. Go directly to the Red Sea and start turning circles until we tell you otherwise."

Were we on the same boat? Because we did the same thing, after the week of pasta it was a week of rice and memory doesn't even recall the rest. I do remember time between RASs was almost a month and a half.

After we finally got resupplied, almost all of hangar bay three was covered with mail. It was actually pretty amazing to see.
