woke up to a lovely email from a dear girlfriend back in California. had some nice company for breakfast. came to work to be greeted by mass chaos, construction and seriously movement-restricting, ankle deep, clay mud. had an informative class where i was able to ask a lot of questions we talked about beneficial insects and garden design. really great. did one of my favorite meditations of cleaning out the seed bank. observed that the baobob tree cutting i planted was swallowed by clay mud in the rain. no sign of it anywhere, whatsoever.
was able to visit with my hands down favorite Kenyan girlfriend. lots of venting and filling in on happenings of life while we ate lunch in a mini greenhouse away from everyone else. what a wise, genuinely awesome woman.
discovered that the new Mexican intern packed a KEYBOARD (not small either!) all the way from Mexico and taught him to play the upper part of Heart and Soul and we played it together several times until i felt like a kid again and missed my sister so much it hurt.
cooked my own dinner with fresh basil, tomatoes, fresh chard and some pasta, onions, garlic and pepper. mmmm mmm mmmm man i am hungry all over again just thinking about it.
spent some time training Jack and was re-convinced that he will be a really well-trained dog one day. the way he looks at me honestly makes me feel like i am the greatest person in the world and i don't even know why. we make each other so happy just being around one another. until he bites me a little too hard trying to play and then i put him back outside.
became inspired by a few different possibilities for employment. really thinking outside the box and it feels spectacularly refreshing. i think i am going to think outside the box ALL of the time (or as often as i can remember to! ha!).
