Knots

Hi guys!
         How's everyone doing today? I hope you all had a good week. If you were wondering, it was a good one for me too, well mostly. And as usual, the weekend has been the best part. But I'm still going to tell you guys about my week though, so fear not. Well, Hardest part :Knot tying. I started doing topographic anatomy this semester (some universities call it ''surgical techniques'') and all had been great until I met the knot tying part. I mean your girl can even suture (partially) but I can't seem to tie the ''ropes'' the way surgeons are supposed to. Take note, I CAN tie them, just not like a surgeon should, that is, with minimal contact with the body of the patient. It was pretty frustrating. And I'm still working on it. It led me to thinking about knots.. a lot. All kinds of knots, literal and figurative. You know like how your stomach can be in knots when you're nervous or how you can tie yourself in knots when you tangle with the wrong kind of people? Yup. My conclusion? Good things hardly ever come out of knots, HARDLY. Except the fact that knotting keeps sutured wounds closed.
          Best part : Friday! My Fridays are the best to be honest. I get to learn pediatrics in a children's hospital and I close the earliest AND get to see friends in the evening after a stressful week. This Friday was extra cool. Spent time getting to know my new group mates and I dare say we had a ball. There were quite a few clashes based on the different perspectives of the male and female species on relationships and love. It was quite an intellectual conversation. We started a French group in my congregation this week and I'm very excited to be a part of it. I'm trying to bring my French back as my brain seems to have been taken over by Russian. Safe to say I've got a lot on my plate and surprisingly, I quite like it. I love a good challenge. I may be practicing some of my French with you guys too. I'm trying to stay in the multilingual state of mind. ;). I plan to spend the rest of my weekend cooking, eating, practicing my knot tying, studying and resting. Basically try to be as productive as possible and be ready for the new week.
          I took a few pictures when I went thrift shopping today and during the week, with my phone too. Nothing too fancy.

Sunshine today. Spring is coming people!

      Don't panic just yet, there's a lesson for the week ''practice makes perfect'' (or almost), knot tying or not, no pun intended. I'll try and try again. Prayer helps too.

      Thanks to all who stop by and comment and follow. And thanks to my mum who reads EVERY single article and tells me whether or not she likes them. Have a great week guys! xx

       

Memoirs of a Good Weekend

   

   Hello beautiful people! How are y'all doing today? In case you haven't noticed, someone is in a fab mood today ^_^. I had a great weekend- good food, good people, great stuff (nasty weather though). I'll give you the highlights.. mostly. The weekend started on Thursday for me, visited some friends who live an hour away from my city. It was snowing cats and dogs! but I got there in one piece. We did our manicure :D and made some delish pizza :D and caught up on life and American Idol. There were a lot of laughs about Nicki Minaj's Nicknaming. Got back home Friday evening and caught up with my friends at Seattle Grace Hospital ( Its from a TV show- Grey's Anatomy).

     I had movie night Saturday, finally saw Life of Pi. Beautiful visuals. Loved the Bengal tiger, I can't wait till animals and humans get to live together (Isaiah 65:25). Then that mind boggling ending (SPOILER ALERT), I do not want to believe that Richard Parker was his way of blocking what really happened. I actually stayed up all night picturing his second story where the Zebra was the sailor, the orangutan his mother, the hyena the cook and he, the Bengal tiger. I'd rather believe that it was just him and the animals on the boat. Well, if you haven't seen Life of Pi, you should, its really good and then you'd understand all his rambling better. Ohh and I watched the Togo-Algeria match with some friends, I thought it was a bit slow, hopefully as the competition progresses, we'll get more action. But it was still great!

   I learned an important lesson about forgiveness this weekend too. Its important, for your health, your peace of mind and your relationship with God. I know this might sound cliche, but someone you haven't forgiven has control over you and I don't know about you but I like to have control over myself and not have the mere sight of someone piss me off every time. I'd rather be indifferent *shrugs*. Also, one question, I'd like to know your opinion (if anyone's reading this, lol) sound off in the comments below ''Do you think looking back at the past is healthy?'' I think its got pros and cons, like it helps you see how much you've grown and how much you've been blessed and how much you've learned from life. It can also be unhealthy, if you let the past obstruct your future kinda like looking at the rear view mirror too often while driving and neglecting looking ahead. I'd really like to know what y'all think.
     And now, the best part, :) PHOTOS! Enjoy!

Its winter wonderland
