I'm getting old. No, really. I am.

I yelled a lot at Martha today, I think she may not return tomorrow. Poor girl. Not her fault, of course, I've been trough too much, that's all. And I'm not quite in the mood to write either, just thought I'd be breaking a tradition by not posting in here today.

Truth is I work well under preasure, but lately I've been having trouble with that. I'm not supposed to be that way. Maybe it's because I've been missing Rose more than usual these days, it's getting near the anniversary of her missing. I shall visit Jackie, as every year, and we'll probably talk for hours and hours about her, how she used to be, how Jackie used to hate me, and once again I'll promise her I'm gonne bring Rose back home. I know I won't, but she needs to hond onto to something or she'll go mad. Some lies are just necessary. And she'll sleep well that night, because she trusts me... About me, I'll just keep on trusting my own lies. Or trying, at least.

Moving on to better subjects, Sally found a girl today, her name is Morgana Levenworth and apparently she's infected with something that looks like the T-Virus. If she is, it must be a big step to our researches. I just hope we get in touch with her in time to save her. Just for once, I'd like to see a day when everybody lives. Just for a change.

Then again, I guess I'm just getting old.

So, Christmas Eve, huh? I don't quite believe people forgot about this day, it's not like it's just another holiday or anything. Martha actually didn't know about some of the traditions about today, like the food, the three and all the stuff about Santa Claus. I went through a whole lesson of Christmas traditions with her today.

We seem to be doing progress on the T-Virus research, Martha's helping a lot, even though Sally hates her. I really don't know what's wrong with Sally, by the way, does she really think we can save the world, clean the house, pay the bills and still manage to be free in the end of the day to catch a movie if we go through this on our own? If she does, I must find a way to change her mind, 'cause we don't. But then again, I think it's just her researcher pride.

We made a Christmas dinner tonight and I'm quite surprise of Sally actually showing up with a huge turkey for us. Martha made us the salad and me... Well, I bought the wine. It's an important responsability as well, and it's not my fault if I can kill someone with my food. The dinner went very well, considering Martha and Sally sat side by side and had knives the whole night. I'm starting to notice Martha is really helpful, not just in the lab. She stayed way long after Sally left and we talked about a lot of things. She'd have slept here if I hadn't kicked her out to spend some time with her family. Looks like she has family issues, I can't blame her myself.

Sally mentioned a girl today, Morgana Levenworth, who she found in one of her searches. Seems the girl is infected with the T-Virus. Sally said she'd try to contact the girl tomorrow, I hope she gets lucky. God knows we're all needing some luck around here these days.

December 23, 3027

If you saw how much time I used to spend typing away on my laptop, you'd think I'd have one of these ages ago. Well, that thought actually crossed my mind once or twice, but I never really did it. Lately I've been way too busy, so there was absolutely no time for me to spend saying nonsenses here. However, today I got the feeling again and decided I have the right to have some time for myself. So here it is, the result of that thought.

I'm a great [or so I'm told] genetic researcher, also known as The Doctor. I rarely get the feeling of telling people my name and I like that, it's kinda a demonstration of trust when I finally do. I used to live on Earth, before the meteore shower, but after I finished college and left the Army, I wen't to work on the Lunar Hospital, which ended up being a huge mistake. I don't know, maybe it's my temper, but I just didn't get along in that place. Still, made some great friends there, like Sally Owens, who works with me now. Oh, right, I forgot, I quit my job in the hospital years ago and now I search rare ilnesses, just for fun. I really love to help people, it's kinda a hobby.

Anyway... Today we've got a new member on the team. Her name is Martha Jones and she was sent to me by... Well, whoever sent her. The point is she's great, really, we had a cup of tea this afternoon and she seemed really honorable to work with me. I hate when that happens, when people see me like some sort of god or whatever, but soon she'll get over that first wrong impression. Or so I'm counting on. She also noticed the photograph of Rose and me in the living room. Maybe I should hide that, or not... Saving that thought for later, but people really should stop messing on my photographes, it's enough Sally telling me I'll never get over Rose. What can I do, she's right. Martha starts tomorrow, I bet it's gonna be a big day.
