Baby seahorses and wrapping paper

Yesterday was a crazy day! First I jumped when I was about to leave home and the doorbell rang, it turned out it was the postman with a package full of star trek stickers for me:) You guessed where it came from! I loved everything that was in it and the apple cider mix warmed up my day, but I couldn't resist taking some pictures of the wrapping papers! Seriously! Where can you find wrapping paper that has dinosaurs and a quiz? That you actually scratch the answers and see smiley faces?? AWESOME!

Then I got to the lab and we had baby seahorses! This morning we had even more. I am not sure about the politics of sharing pictures from the lab so I will just upload this one.


Oh, and I ended up the day thinking that I would have to pay for a second IKEA deliver, since they did not let me reschedule. Fortunately, today after biking to the Police Parking offices on the other side of the city, reading a text in dutch to the receptionist, I was taken to a lady that actually spoke English and who told me that my permit to place parking signs for a parking ban had been issued and was on its way by snail mail and I had the go ahead to place the said street signs. So I biked again to another corner of the city and rented the huge no parking signs with the 20kg bases... Called a cab, of course... had to leave my bike there, and placed them at home. I forgot to take pictures but I really have to... I never heard of a country where to have a van deliver furniture you would need police authorization and had to rent signs and place them yourself! At least the permit was free, the signs... not so much. And then I walked to school, and managed to make it here by 10am! Today I was looking at more clear and stained specimens, pretty cool.
