I now possess Vitamin C tablets from Annie and Vitamin C cough drops from Lauren. I will also probably eat my second clementine from Lisa shortly. I've been trying to drink lots of orange juice, but the orange juice in the juice machine downstairs isn't that great.

Layna wondered whether one could be like a hug cactus, storing up hugs. Sadly, we agreed that hugs don't work like that (i compared it to water-soluble vitamins -- even if you have a lot one day, you still have to start over the next day). Too bad.

Respectfully disagree, an actual hug is (much) better, but knowing that if someone were around they would hug you is pretty darn good too. And I don't think that they are water soluble. You hug a child (no matter what their are, and that stays with them, well to quote a good friend of mine...

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!

Perhaps i should have clarified. Layna's friend Cat says that 7 hugs a day are necessary for sanity, so the discussion about whether one can store up hugs was in reference to that (i.e. can getting say a dozen hugs one day tide you through a next day in which you get few hugs?). There definitely is something to be said for the knowledge that there are people who would hug you if they could, even when they can't. And yes, hugs are essential to healthy development.

I was just thinking about it and realized that I agreed and disagreed. (This often happens to me. It makes like very confusing.) I quite argree that I am healthier, happier, and all together a happier person if I get my hug quotient every day.

Then I started thinking what if I not only did I not get my quotient everyday, what if they were not there to get. If I get nothing else done today, I think I am going to make sure I hug some people. And not just here! Having said that {*hugs*}
