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 58th “12 of 12.” A Wednesday.

10:12 AM: It's raining. Ugh. Something it would continue to do all day. — 10:12 AM: It’s raining. Ugh. Something it would continue to do all day.

11:49 AM: The first of two tattoos today. This started out as a joke with the client, and morphed into this awesomeness.

5:13 PM: We get some interesting things from clients.

5:56 PM: This Alex Grey piece was supposed to be the second tattoo today, but the first one took all my creative energy. So I had to reschedule this one. It stinks to have to do that, but if the client wants me at my best... — 5:56 PM: This Alex Grey piece was supposed to be the second tattoo today, but the first one took all my creative energy.

6:08 PM: And then Windows decided it needed to update.

8:01 PM: Time for dinner. Like a cake left out in the rain.

8:27 PM: The road to the house is washed out. I guess we had a LOT of rain. /joy

9:43 PM: Luna wants to go outside to go potty, but she doesn't want to get wet. — 9:43 PM: Luna wants to go outside to go potty, but she doesn’t want to get wet.

9:47 PM: Tucking the Husbear into bed for the night.

Baker's Dozen: 10:38 PM: A snack. I wanted chips and salsa, but someone ate all the salsa. And then I looked for my can of spray cheese, and it was empty. Someone strikes again. So it's this crappy little banana. — Baker’s Dozen: 10:38 PM: A snack. I wanted chips and salsa, but someone ate all the salsa. And then I looked for my can of spray cheese, and it was empty.

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. — 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. — 10:18 AM: Been on the couch since I woke up. And Luna is right there beside me.

11:25 AM: milli wants to know why I put my shoes on.

12:03 PM: The Husbear starting repairs to the driveway. Again. Hopefully for the last time. We've switched from gravel to deep-bed concrete with stones. Maybe the waters won't wash this out? Maybe. Water always wins. It's patient. — 12:03 PM: The Husbear starting repairs to the driveway. Again. Hopefully for the last time. We’ve switched from gravel to deep-bed concrete with stones.

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. — 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.

2:29 PM: The Husbear has made some progress on the driveway. And Luna is checking for level I think.

2:31 PM: Decking completed, next up, the stairs. Hopefully tomorrow.

3:17 PM: The Husbear wanted Mexican for dinner, so he called in to the restaurant here in town. This is the Blackhawk Burrito, and it's ginormous. — 3:17 PM: The Husbear wanted Mexican for dinner, so he called in to the restaurant here in town. This is the Blackhawk Burrito, and it’s ginormous.

10:43 PM: Catching up on some of my guilty pleasures between naps on the couch.

This is my 55th “12 of 12.” A Tuesday. We got home yesterday evening from our July walkabout, so it’s a “down day” to get things in order before we return to our regularly scheduled lives.

9:02 AM: Laundry. So much laundry. How do two grown men go through so much laundry on a 10 day trip? I can't even guess how many loads it'll take. — **9:02 AM:** Laundry. So much laundry.

For now. — **1:10 PM:** I mostly got the interior of the Jeep clean. Mostly. I wiped it out with a wet towel last night, then had to do it again this morning. I think most of the dust is gone.

No “plus one” this month. I’ve got a pile of stuff to do still before tomorrow starts…

19 Years and Counting

Dang. It’s hard to believe it has been 19 years since we first met in person. 19 years that I wouldn’t trade away. We’ve come a long way, and done so much together.

Almost then... and almost now. — Almost then… and almost now.

I love you with all my being, my wonderful Husbear.

Until next time...

This is my 54th “12 of 12.” A Sunday. A very sad Sunday. The attack in Orlando early this morning still has me rattled. The family and friends I have in the area have all been accounted for, but for a lot of people that’s not the case.
