Thought for the day: I wish I were better at anatomy...


So yesterday was somewhat crap. Spent most of the day in bed, but thankfully managed to get up in the afternoon to have my first shower in three days.

Today my anhedonia briefly resolved enough for me to enjoy more pancakes and maple syrup, this time at Jacks (my favourite local breakfast place). Before you jump to the conclusion that my only comfort in life is food, I should also add that I enjoyed going to a Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition at Buckingham Palace today as well. I booked the tickets some time back, long before my depression took hold. The exhibition shows Leonardo's anatomical drawings. I assumed they had been brought over from Italy, but it turns out the Queen owns them. Lucky her.

The drawings brought back not-too-distant memories of dissection at medical school. My anatomical knowledge is shocking. When I started University I thought I would drift towards psychiatry as a speciality, so didn't pay much attention during dissection. That kind of attitude comes back to bite you in the butt when you're working though, especially now I'm on a surgical rotation.

It's now approaching midnight and I'm planning what to bake tomorrow. I wouldn't do this blog justice if I didn't share at least one recipe a week. Last week I made apple and apricot slices, but have managed to palm them off on friends and family so there's only one left. I'm thinking something chocolatey this time, but not sure. Will have to wait and see...
