I started biking to the library this morning and my first thought as I started down the hill was "Oh, I should've brought my biking gloves." as it was very cold out.
Anyway, as I arrived at the library I realized that it actually opens at 2:00. At the time, it was only 12:30.
That nice thing about Fairhaven is that, when you can't go to one place, there are lots of other welcoming places you can go without worrying about getting mugged or something. Like the book store or the toy store or Tony's coffee! Another nice thing is that my dad's clinic is right there in Fairhaven as well.
I biked to his clinic and read a little of "Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" and then my dad himself, the honorary doctor Brad Day, walked into his own office to check something on the microscope.
Being the science-lover that he is, he never fails to share the things he finds fascinating with others. He shared them with me, in this case. But I don't mind because I'm one of the only ones in the family that doesn't just get bored when he starts talking about things like red-blood cells and cancer cells. Mostly because I'm the one asking the questions! In my dad's words, I'm his only hope left for having a doctor in the family. :)
We looked through countless slides of cells that look like this:
We put them under the microscope and looked at things that looked like this:
If you think that staring at purple dots all day is boring... well... that's your choice.
I love looking through the microscope! It's like being in your own little world where all their is are little dots and wiggly things that all do something to make your body work the way it does.
In short, I liked being there and choosing the slides you wanted to look at and then discovering certain cells in the sample and then getting a description on it from Dad.
When his next patient came in, I had to tear myself away from the slides and go to get my books when the clock struck 2:00.
Should be fun now, sitting around with all my math finished, reading my new books on Ireland and C.S. Lewis and eating food. Good combo, if you ask me!
