Happy 7th birthday to our little milli, and her sister micro who’s hiding somewhere as always.

12 of 12: September 12, 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 57th “12 of 12.” A Monday.

I was supposed to work today, but went to bed early not feeling that great, and woke up this morning feeling even worse. So I rescheduled my appointment, started some antibiotic regimen for my ear infection, and laid around the house for the most part. Hence most pictures coming from one of several vantage points, and some from close times.


9:10 AM: Luna follows me around when the Husbear isn't home. I just woke up--with a massive earache--and I'm not feeling all that well.

10:18 AM: Been on the couch since I woke up. And Luna is right there beside me. Although I think she's telling me she isn't having any of this and wants to go outside.

2:01 PM: Even though I'm in a little pain and not feeling all that awesome (and dizzy, did I mention dizzy?), I got the decking on the second story deck finished on the barn. Yet another project that has taken way too long to get completed.

This is my 56th “12 of 12.” A Friday. For y’all. My “Thursday”, as far as workweeks go.


I failed this month. I only captured 10 good pictures. 🙁

I came home to have the power shut off not long afterward. And the Husbear informed me that the truck had a problem I needed to look at. And the Internet was down, before the power was out. *sigh*

10:31 AM: I overslept. I've felt "off" the last few days. But I'm fresh out of the shower. So I'm starting the day late.

I have zero idea of what’s happening here, but it’s almost the same look I make at the yearly prostate exam.
