Vitamin C

I just ate an orange. It had been ages since I had eaten an orange. After expressing that I was craving a piece of fruit, a friend snuck into the UC and stole me an orange, apple, and banana. Vitamin C and potassium: both my body has needed. Got it!
I had a wonderful nights sleep. Substance free...well, a glass of wine and an Octoberfest from NPCC. Met the family there last night. Phil also showed. We enjoyed some cards and good conversation. and the entertainment of Dino treating glasses of wine as shots. Crazy kid. It was a pleasant stroll home to the company of Tove and her welcoming bed. But I got in a good 9 hours. Feeling good.
I dreampt that Tove and I shared a house but she had four bedrooms full of numerous down-filled plush beds while I was restricted to a wooden bunker without a mattress. hmmmm...did I mention my airmattress popped? The floor has been treating me well. Lately. Well, last night. I had a dream that Jane and I decided we were in love with each other and would begin to date. Odd. Though it felt natural.

Last night, Tove, Car, and I had a conversation about reaccuring dreams, spurred on from mine about giving birth to rodents. Or birthing pets, as Carlee put it. We discovered that we all had different views about this reaccuing dream of mine, because each of us had differing past experiences with the creatures. To carlee, they are the most vile creatures to ever exist, so she would interpret my dream differntly than Tove who thinks of a wise Splinter character, who interprets it differently than I, who's only real pet and first experience with real resposibilty for another life was with a rat. Perhaps responsibilbity has been on my unconscious mind lately. Perhaps life after death, or more specifically, what that has meant to her, has been on Tove's mind lately, as the majority of her reaccuring dreams are vivid tales of passing into the next life. Carlee has never had a reaccuring dream. She rarely remembers any. hmmmm.....

Finally got my piano music from the castle this morning. Played a little jazz before class. My fingers have missed the ivory.

So I'm an orange green. I am active, love adventure and freedom, and feel constricted by rules. I am curious, inquisitive, strive for autonomy and value knowledge. I was reminded this last night through an activity MESA provided during job training. The purpose was to recognize our tendencies so we can use them to our best advantage, as well as remember the varying learning styles of the children we will be working with.
I thought I would be more green than orange: focus more on knowledge and discovery than on activity and competition. Though I was pretty balanced across the colors, (with the exception of the orderly, detail oriented gold) orange prevailed. It always does.
