12 of 12, April 2016 edition

The 12 of 12 Challenge was created by Chad Darnell and picked up by a number of random bloggers who linked back to him and vice versa. Chad stopped doing the 12 of 12 Challenge in December 2011, but passed the torch to someone who [sadly] hasn’t been keeping up with it. I am giving my shout-out to Blobby of Blobby’s Blog as he is the one who initially inspired me to do the Challenge, and he still does.

This is my 52nd “12 of 12.” A Tuesday. Normally a day off for me, but I somehow managed to jack up my schedule and have been working six days a week the last couple of weeks. And will be for the next few. Ugh.

I’m publishing this post late because our home computer had a hard drive failure, and while I’ve replaced that, I haven’t had time to “be myself” with trying to get the taxes done and working too much.

But here you go. My weak attempt at the 12 this month.

9:36 AM: I woke up to The Husbear moving some stuff around so he can put out compost in the flower and vegetable beds.

10:00 AM: The Husbear being... manly? He's back at the gym finally after the tractor accident.

3:35 PM: We only made it this far before the client had to tap out. She was having a rough day today, which translates into somebody's ability to sit or not for a tattoo.

3:54 PM: A picture more for myself, but these were the pigments I used on the client. So I remember to use the same ones for her next session.

4:11 PM: A little quiet time before my next client arrives. It was at this point that I realized I was starting to feel a migraine coming on. I rescheduled my next client and headed home.

4:43 PM: So many hard drive replacement decisions. On my way home, I stopped at Best Buy to pick up a replacement hard drive. I know it'd be less expensive to order it online, but I needed a new drive now.

7:09 PM: I had to run back to the studio to grab some files. My head is hurting a little still, but I managed to head it off with enough medication. I was trying to switch music stations, and hit the camera button instead.

7:44 PM: Attempting to reinstall Windows on the new hard drive. Buy my license wasn't working. Damn. Time for another option.

10:58 PM: I slaved the dying hard drive into The Husbear's new computer in an attempt to repair the drive enough to clone it to a new drive. ScanDisk was finding all sorts of errors.

Baker's Dozen: 11:16 PM: I'm tired. My brain still hurts. And I'm going to bed.

And now on with playing catch-up still…

Until next time...
