12 of 12

So I'm doing my 144th 12 of 12.

Normally it is 12 pictures taken on the 12th of the month. Since I only post once per day, you get my images the following day. All pictures taken with my iPhone. Click images to enlarge, if you choose.

Created by Chad Darnell and picked up from, what I can tell, any number of random bloggers who then link back to him and vice versa. Chad is no longer doing this, nor is successor coordinating the linking of other 12 of 12'ers anymore. Erik is back and I think he's picking up 12 of 12 again.  

04:21.  Yes. I was awake. ....at least for 12 minutes before I remembered to start 12 of 12. 

This is what happens when there is low/no light and you move your hand when you take a pic at 04:21. 

04:41.  Some days I just struggle with this game. 

04:54.  Technically, I saw the pangram first - and usually I put it in first - but I couldn't help the shameless self-promotion. 

05:31.  Gym time. 

Save 710, I have told no one I started back up at the gym. A different gym. I am there by 05:15 most every morning. I start with cardio - and usually that means a 20-30 minute run on the treadmill. 

I joined almost three weeks ago. I hate the idea of running, before and afterward, but oddly this time out, I have been enjoying the during. Honestly, it all comes down to the music to get me to move though.  My plan is not to bore you all with tales of the gym. Especially if I don't lose weight. 

06:39.  Iced tea. No sugar; no water (meaning, no extra watering it down water)

08:40.  Pro Forma time. 

Looking to hire a doc and need to make sure it makes financial sense. 

12:19.  Lunch. 

Gym also includes me packing lunches most days and trying cut down on sugar. Trying! And cut down, not out. I'm realistic here. 

Hot mustard chicken thighs with carrots and fingerling po-tay-toes.  Yeah, you have a Cooking with Blobby segment coming your ways soon. 

It looks like a lot, but the thighs photograph bigger than they were. And there wasn't tons of meat. 

14:16.  Eye Appointment. 

This post-it has been on my monitor for far longer than I care to admit (August 2021). I finally made the appointment today......for end of May, which was the earliest they had.  I got to toss the post-it away!!

17:25.  Pop up pup. 

He amuses the other people coming to pick up their dogs. The lady blocked the 6 other jumps. 

17:44.  Dog Food Delivery. 

36 lbs of it. 

18:16.   Thin!

I wish I were that thin, but I'm not. What dog goes to daycare for 10 hours and then gets a 1.5 mile walk?

19:02.  Soph. 

Can't have 1.5 of Shep and nothing of Sophie. 

This concludes this month's 12 of 12.
