So you may have realized that after less than a week, I fell off the bus as far as getting a doodle up a day. I have a legitimate excuse, I went away for the Canada Day weekend and there was no phone service, let alone internet. But fret not, I have retroactive doodles!

Friday

Canada Day was spent driving down dirt roads (and I use the word “road” liberally) to get from my parents camp (“cottage” as it would be known in the rest of the world) to Fundy National Park. After a hike where Mike and I almost got lost within 200m from civilization and partaking in some awesome Canada Day educational activities, we tried three times to get some sticky buns before we were finally successful. For those not in the know, Alma sticky buns are “world famous” (though I cannot substantiate these claims).

Thursday

Spent a majority of the day driving to my parents’ “camp” (cottage). So no real update, just a quick sketch of a skunk, since we saw one on the way here. A live on at that.

Tonight Mike and I were part of an awesome charity pizza making dinner. Mike made the dough, I made the salad and everyone made their own little mini pizzas. We also had cake that said “Happy Pizza Day”. It was a great evening and I thank other Mike (G) for putting it on and everyone else who showed up to help out. There’s nothing better in a hospital than fresh food (the Globe and Mail agrees).

So far Mike has been providing the prompts, where he gets the ideas, I’m no sure. Today’s prompt was to open a book to a random page, close your eyes and point, then doodle that word.

Today’s word: beckoning

Also, I just watched the premiere of Combat Hospital and it’s way better than I expected. A good show even. (my standards for hospital dramas are pretty high, they must stack up to Scrubs). Though I’m a little biased because it is set at a Canadian Forces base in Afganistan.

So today’s doodle theme was negative space

I was inspired by my afternoon in nephrology. Turns out the kidneys are pretty cool, despite the general consensus from first and second year medical students.
