A little progress today

First things first. Yesterday, I thought long and hard about hobbies. I searched the internet i.e. "best hobbies for doctors" etc. This is my shortlist

1. Knitting - it will improve my dextrity and surgical skills. There was this really good YouTube video on it. My mom-in-law is also due for a visit soon so I can always learn it from here. Plus, there is a "thread shop" just around the corner for me to get supplies. This is high on the list for now. 

2. Cooking - I do like cooking and it gets my chores done of feeding myself and the husband. However it involves searching for new ingredients (more time and money spent). If I use whatever I have, i end up with the same recipes, obviously. And I am already interested in cooking. It won't be that much change for me. 

3. Gardening - Who am I kidding?

I have a project for this month. There's an empty wall in the house that we want to do a collage of photo frames on. I'm quite excited about it. 

Today, I brought the bottle of water to the hospital, drank 3/4 of it and stupidly forgot to get it home. 

I came home early (5pm) as it is not my duty today, and went for a jog for 15 mins. Achievement! 

And I am here, blogging. 

Oh and I studied after lunch, for about an hour. Most of the days I just doze off after lunch in the library. 

I would say, a nice day well spent. 

Thought of the day -

One of the most bugging and nagging thing for a married couple is money. When I was single, I shopped whenever i felt angry, pissed off, moody, sad and happy, which is everyday few days. Spending 300 rupees for dinner was not a big deal. I didn't think twice about going for a coffee with a friend. But now, all expenses are double the amount even though the salary is also double (him+me) but I still stinge. Now, saving up is a big deal, and so is buying a house or car. However, my point of this paragraph is, taking care of our finances is a real challenge for a couple but at the end of the day, the month and the year, I feel we have matured a little bit more as a couple.
