Exciting pictures from Easter at home!

 Springtime?

Too much time on my hands.

Sunday Project

Today, since I'm in Minnesota and am determined to take a real break before studying for boards, I decided to do a little project.  I picked this up yesterday, when we stopped at Ingebretson's in Minneapolis on the way home to Rochester.  So many delightful Scandinavian projects!  This one seemed perfect for my time at home.

 The Knitted Nisse.  According to Wikipedia (which we all know is more than sufficient for most needs), a nisse is a household spirit.  He is commonly a small, elderly looking man with immense powers to protect the farmer, his family, and his property.

What will I do with my nisse?  Maybe he will watch over me when I begin studying in earnest.

Skill

I think I'm living up to my word that my life will be boring for a while.  My life over the past 3 weeks has consisted, mostly, of studying.  A little sleeping.  All right, fine, a few excursions into Manhattan as well.  But mostly studying.

However, there was something pretty cool.  Exciting.  FUN.  Last week...I drew my own blood!!  And then I looked at it in the microscope and realized it's as boringly awesome as everyone else's.
