Meme, ,

My 44th “12 of 12!” I was home sick today. So, you’re getting a whole lot of fauna pictures apparently. I’m not sure what’s going on with me, other than some tummy troubles.

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

All pictures were taken with my iPhone 6.

My 42nd “12 of 12!” A somewhat coincidental number. At least in a few days it will be. But I’m being vague.

The 12 of 12 Challenge was created by Chad Darnell and picked up from a number of random bloggers who then linked back to him and vice versa.

All pictures were taken with my iPhone 6.

I woke up late, and then felt panicked and rushed until about 4PM today. I’ve been behind on getting artwork completed for upcoming appointments. So I wasn’t really focused on taking pictures. Which is unusual for me, but par for the course when I’m frantic.

1) 10:57 AM: This light. Ugh. Takes forever. But I prefer to make a left turn into traffic at a light instead of a right across traffic with no light.

Pic a Day in May: May 31, 2015

Meme

And, it’s the last day of May, so it’s the last of the “Pic a Day in May” photos.

Today I spent most of the day doing chores around the house. One of them being cleaning the gutters.

My mind is in here somewhere...

I really dislike heights.

Our buddy Ross is traveling for work, so I’m checking in on his cat while he’s out.

Pic a Day in May: May 29, 2015

Meme,

I was going to take a picture of the rain, since it’s done that pretty much non-stop since we returned from Chicago this past weekend.

Instead, I present to you Mother Nature’s wrath. Or at least her dislike of electronics. We’ve had incredible lightning here with all this rain. Unfortunately, a strike nailed our phone line somewhere down the line, which then took out the DSL modem. Which then took out the built-in network router. Which then traveled to the other wired network components and took them out: the Roku, the Blu-Ray player, and the A/V Receiver. Not to mention the DSL modem/router itself.

Dead...
Dead…

*le sigh*
