I sometimes have to remind myself that I am adult here. That I am a well educated, responsible, worthy individual. Perhaps it's just the population that typically strolls through this place, but some of the main stays can be fairly condescending. I'm sure it is frustrating to constantly be training new people and never know who you are going to get, but that's what happens when you build a transient community garden/hostel... ya know?
But despite that it was a pretty good day today. Got up early to try to catch class, but she was sleeping... again. I think tomorrow we've decided on an afternoon time slot - get out the hot sun and not have to get up as early! So instead I went into the garden to weed for a bit. Today was another cleaning day for me, so I spent the bulk of the morning cleaning with Grace and then got roped into making the green salad again. Lunch was fantastic. Stir fry, rice, sweet potato fries, radish green salad with dressing, and a small piece of elk meat. Delicious. I guess the girls raided the dumpster down the road and scored a bunch of really good produce that then became our lunch. Definitely did not expect to eat from a dumpster today, but its just part of the adventure. After lunch I finally got to get back in the garden which is really where I want to be. I planted carrot seeds in a zig zag fashion and prepared some beds for transplanting cabbage. It clouded up a bit so we decided to plant some corn down in the lower field and it started to rain. Then it started to hail. Lisa and I took cover in the green house until it stopped. After the rain it seemed like a perfect time to bathe, which seems to be a rare opportunity here, so I embraced it.
At one point this morning I stopped by Muna's house and she invited me in and read me my star chart. It was interesting. Apparently I'm a Pieces. huh. I thought it was interesting. She's convinced that I am set with money for the rest of my life and that I will have a very strong career that might even make me famous (famous nurses?!). She did peg my dad's personality and roll and my life spot on though, so that was cool. She also told me that I am courageous and to not date any more musicians :) noted. Looking at my palm I am to have a long life and and strong career.
All this talk of career's got me thinking it could be a good day to apply for a job. It just so happened that a wonderful position was open at University Hospital in Denver in their Emergency Department was posted, so I thought, what the hell. Put it into the universe and see what happens, right?
I'm ready to hit the hay. I wound up helping Muna for a couple hours in the evening - its exhausting trying to keep up with her train of thought and figure out what it is she actually wants you to do. She's one of those people who you're not sure if she's absolutely fucking nuts or a genius.
