Repeat Pattern Monday : Daniela

Hier, durant ma garde, j'ai admis une jeune fille de 12 ans en unité de soins intensifs pour coma éthylique.
12 ans.
Ca fait réfléchir, non?
Elle s'appelle Daniela.
Et elle va très bien aujourd'hui.

Je m'en vais à l'hôpital ce matin... jusque demain matin. Vingt quatre heures en unité de soins intensifs avant de revoir Margot. Bouh :(

liste du vendredi : complete makeover

Vous avez peut-être lu l'enthousiasme de Christophe concernant l'arrivée de sa petite reine au Chili.
La voici fraîchement débarquée du bateau :

et bien, ma petite reine à moi, ça ne lui a pas plu.
On pouvait lire dans ses yeux brillants : "Mais, il va me mettre où parrain?"
Alors, on s'y est tous mis :
1. Le premier jour, papa a fixé une petite selle et des pédales.
2. Le deuxième jour, papa a fixé le claxon et le porte bagage.
3. Le troisième jour, maman est allé choisir les paniers.
4. Le quatrième jour, maman a clippé une perle rose à chaque rayon. Elle a d'ailleurs une ampoule au niveau du pouce droit.
5. Le cinquième jour, Margot a gonflé et attaché ses ballons.
6. Le sixième jour, Margot a rempli ses paniers (3 biberons, un nounours, des langes, un doudou, des biscuits, des livres, un hochet, des pantoufles et une couverture).
7. Le septième jour, tout le monde s'est reposé.

sketchbook spread 6 : highly prized open fire

Repeat Pattern Monday

I woke up so tired this morning. I suffered from a blocked duct around 3 am. I didn't know why I felt like having the flu... Well, apparently, the flu-like feeling is a sign that traces of milk entered your bloodstream and your body is treating the milk as a foreign protein (your immune system is fighting it).
Ahhhhh... breastfeeding is amazing.... but it can also be painfull!


P.S : C'est le 7° moisiversaire de Margot aujourd'hui! (Margot is seven months old today!)

liste du vendredi : random thoughts about ostrichs

1. The males are black and the females are grey.

2. The female's feathers are of poor quality. They are used to make feather dusters.

3. The male's feathers are transformed into fashion accessories (hats, evening dresses, Mardi Gras masks, feather boa...)

4. Ostrichs are monogamous (the female chooses the male).
5. Females lay an egg every other day.
6. The eggs are incubated by the females by day (as the drab females blend in with the sand) and by the males by night.
7. Most eggs take about 40 days to hatch.
8. They are equivalent to 14 chicken eggs (not cholesterol friendly).
9. An ostrich lives approximately 50 years.
10. Ostrichs have two toes on each foot with the nail on the larger.

11. They can cause serious injury with that nail (it can rip you open, with your intestines and others viscera coming out)

(reader friendly)

12. Ostriches can run at 72,4 km-per-hour (45 miles-per-hour). When being pursued by a lion for exemple.
13. They swallow pebbles that act as gastroliths (stomach stones that grind food)

14. Their brain fits into a teaspoon.

ICU night shift tonight.

I carry this in my pocket to feel less lonely :

ostriches = big chickens

This week's topic at illustration friday is CHICKEN!
This is my interpretation :

Come back on friday. My list will be about those ladies I met (and ate) in South Africa last summer!

Pas le temps de dessiner.

So, did you start? DID YOU?
Did you find the perfect journal? the perfect pen?

This spread is a combination of this and this.
