12 of 12 | february ’15

February 12, 2015February 16, 2015 • by kerri

I used to do this thing called 12 of 12, where a bunch of people took 12 pictures throughout the day. Well, when Chad (the guy who thought it up) stopped hosting the link roundup, it kind of—to my knowledge, at least—disappeared. The last 12 of 12 I did was August 2013.

A year and a half later… here goes! (It helps that I actually had an interesting day today. Such is the spend-most-of-my-time-at-home life…)

12:03 am | kitchen.
We had our kitchen redone earlier this week. This has resulted in my inability to reach many cupboards.

2:47 pm | kitchen.
Yesterday I realized that my networking cards have my old Twitter handle on them. I went to a tweetup this evening, and tried to get the same-day type from Stapes, except I can’t find my Visa card so I missed the noon order deadline because the Visa Vanilla website wasn’t allowing me to set up my gift card, and RBC told me my Visa Debit card was too old to activate. So I did not get new networking cards in time.
[With that said, also, no cards were exchanged: it was all about the tweetup.]

5:02 pm | bus.
Moovit is the greatest app to ever happen to transit.

5:35 pm | CBC Manitoba.
Marcy kicks off the #CBCTweetUpMB event.

5:44 pm | CBC Manitoba.
I met up with Alyson before heading to CBC.
She did a pre-weather selfie with John Sauder from CBC, on the air.

5:56 pm | CBC Manitoba.
Cakeology + CBC Tweetup cupcakes and cake balls?
Yes, please.

6:33 pm | CBC Manitoba.
Touring CBC Manitoba. This is what the union of radio and TV looks like.

6:44 pm | CBC Manitoba.
And now for Kyra with the weather.

6:47 pm | CBC Manitoba.
Oh, no big deal, I’m just in the weather, guys.

6:56 pm | CBC Manitoba.
This is so all the animators and graphic designers and people can stay/get creative.
BUZZ LIGHTYEAR TO THE RESCUE!

6:57 pm | CBC Manitoba.
Somewhat amusingly, the last picture I took inside CBC today was the welcome sign.

7:59 pm | Sobeys.
And… the last picture for the day…
MOON CHEESE? Like… dehydrated cheese.
Thanks but no thanks, (not-)NASA.

I’ll be sharing more pictures from the CBC Tweetup soon […or so I say, this is what happens, okay?], but visit the #CBCTweetUpMB Storify, or check the hashtag on Twitter and Instagram for more!

(I’m not smart enough to figure out how to link to a hashtag on Instagram… I hope this is actually difficult…)

And… hopefully I’ll get another 12 on 03/12/15!

12 of 12 – august ’13!

August 18, 2013August 18, 2013 • by kerri

On the 12th of the month, some people snap 12 pictures throughout the day and blog them. Here are my pictures from August 12th, 2013!

10:44 am – bathroom. Yeah, glamour. Didn’t take enough pictures so this one had to be included, which I took to send to a friend. So, I take two of these a day to basically prevent me from dying, instead of their intended purpose of preventing babies. So, I was not paying attention at all and ended up snapping my first pill of the pack out of the wrong day–since I take two a day, i usually start on the corresponding day of the week [sans stickers usually] and pop AM out of row 1 and PM out of row 2 for the first week, then do the bottom row all screwy like. So I tried to reverse what I did this round, and now everything is confused.

10:55 am – kitchen. Candy and Concerta. Which, you know, reminded me of the Green Day lyric from Jesus of Suburbia “the bible of, none of the above, on a steady diet of / soda pop and ritalin . . .”

12:34 am – kitchen. “Let me write it on your hand / so you won’t forget.” (Write It On Your Hand, Marvelous 3). NEED bus tickets.

1:05 PM – bus stop. Trying to get across the street but there are too many freaking cars. Don’t jaywalk, kids.

1:42 pm – bookstore. Why are the chem books like this, and the physics books not? THIS IS ALL PHYSICS. Also oh my goodness fancy.

2:03 pm – annex. About to meet Bryan for lunch. He and I are known to discuss the people who clean the floor in this building 80 times a day, so I tweeted this picture to him. [80 times is probably not an exaggeration].

2:42 pm – boon burger. Super simple vegan burger from Boon. To see Bryan’s mountain of meatlessness, click here.

3:15 pm – boon burger. This is how they remember where the order goes to :D.

3:19 pm – bannatyne ave. Bryan and I taking pictures. Except, you know, he wasn’t ready for this one but I HAVE TO INCLUDE IT BECAUSE I DIDN’T TAKE ENOUGH PICTURES. At least he looks like he is laughing, right? :]

3:20 pm – bannatyne ave. There we go! :]

5:05 pm – grandparents. Bryan dropped me off at my grandparents’ place, where they were outside and thus not answering their door. I figured it out and then sat here for awhile.

7:16 pm – grandparents kitchen. Late supper, which was all good due to getting boon’ed so hard. [Thanks for the variety of uses for Boon, Bryan!]. Grilled cheese, yay!

12 of 12 – may 2013!

May 16, 2013May 16, 2013 • by kerri

On the 12th of each month, a bunch of bloggers from around the world take 12 pictures of their day and blog them. Here are my pictures for May 12th, 2013!

9:32 am – car. Iced coffee on the way to the cabin for the day.

10:22 am – beausejour subway. Subway: everybody’s got one. Getting lunch to eat at the cabin.

10:30 am – beausejour main street. How kickass is this bowling sign? Also I had a conversation with someone walking down the street while taking this because she totally takes pictures like me.

Division%20No.%201%2C%20Unorganized-20130512-00211.jpg

11:25 am – cabin. Pretty sure the first sight of this view for the year is one of my favourite feelings.

Division%20No.%201%2C%20Unorganized-20130512-00214.jpg

1:45 pm – back deck. This is my view while studying (for a class I dropped the next day. Good use of time there.)

6:12 pm – kitchen at home. I still love this water bottle I snagged from an unmanned booth at the World Congress of Asthma in Quebec. LUNGS.

7:50 pm – kitchen. My friend Dia from the GTA sent her aunt over to hand deliver some get-well gifts for me following being in the hospital, which was really sweet of BOTH of them! These cupcakes were a part of it, and amazing :].

10:39 pm – bedroom. Finished my friend Scott’s book Life is Short, Laundry is Eternal tonight. Fantastic read.

11:10 pm – kitchen. I think I basically decided to drop this course when I saw that the final exam was worth 40% and the paper was only worth 15%.

11:14 pm – kitchen. Knocked the salt/pepper shaker over as I was packing up my stuff for the next day. This happens frequently, but usually I don’t have to sweep up this much salt from the table.

11:18 pm – bathroom. At this point I was convinced that the tape from my IV was never, ever going to come off. Except my friend Steve is a smartypants [with far too much experience with the medical tape] and suggested trying acetone (i.e. nailpolish remover). Totally worked, but I didn’t try it until a day or two later.

11:25 pm – bedroom. Far too late for bed on a Sunday.

12 of 12 – april ’13!

April 13, 2013April 13, 2013 • by kerri

On the 12th of each month, a bunch of bloggers from around the world take 12 pictures of their day and blog them. Here are my pictures for April 12th, 2013!

9:33 am – vaughan. I was lucky to get my 12:30 doctor’s appointment moved up to 9:30 [also known as “come whenever” because the assistant loves me]. I’m always mildly curious about this store.

9:36 am – doctor. I pointedly ignore this sign. One time, my doctor walked into the office and I put my phone down and took my earphones out of my ears, saying “You know, if I actually listened to those signs and turned my phone off whenever I came in here, I would never get anything accomplished.” My doctor just laughed and told me “That’s fine.”

10:02 am – doctor’s office. I make faces while waiting, apparently.

10:12 am – lab. Classy, Dynacare. Classy.

10:13 am – lab. Doing a full check on the anemia today, apparently. I told the doctor “Okay, if they’re going to take blood, can we check more than just one thing?” Hemoglobin, platelets, ferritin (storage iron), iron and TIBC later. I think Complete Blood Count was checked off somewhere, too.

10:16 am – lab. This process is all very quick after I actually saw the doctor. I got the grown up needle this time. And I got to tell the phlebotomist all about 12 of 12, and she tried to tell me good times to take the pictures so they’d be cool :]. She was awesome!

10:24 am – vaughan. I honestly walked by this puppy in the window, thought it was fake, and had to turn around and do a double take to determine its realness. Verdict: real puppy!

10:35 am – school. Bought my textbooks for my spring course so I could take one of them to Accessibility Services to be sent off to be made into an eText so I can audio-ify it. The AS assistant is awesomesauce, and we had a fun discussion about this course and how she wants to take my books and read them. :] (And Starbucks. And how it needs to be the weekend.)

12:06 pm – boon burger. Best. Vegan burger. Place. Evaaaar. DINOSAURS.

12:39 pm – car. If you have a tea reading done, do you get to drink the tea?

4:14 pm – gym at work. “Miss Kerri! The chicken’s leg fell off! [Gym teacher’s name] puts them on top of her pens when that happens! Put it on your pen!”

5:45 pm – front lobby. Out of work early. Pre-coaching dinner.

12 of 12 – march ’13!

March 17, 2013March 17, 2013 • by kerri

On the 12th of each month, a bunch of bloggers from around the world take 12 pictures of their day and blog them. Here are my pictures for March 12th, 2013!

7:28 am – work. Walking into work. Because it is EVERY DAY that you see a giant fake rock when you walk into work. [This is the joy of needing to walk through a drama room to get to my job in the morning. It is mildly interesting about 80% of the time.]

9:48 am – starbucks. The annex that includes the Starbucks at school gets its floors cleaned more times a day than the rest of the university does in a year. New project is to stealthily take pictures of the annex floor cleaner, and tweet them at Bryan.

2:06 pm – kitchen. My parents got home from Florida today. Since I didn’t get to go, I got lots of presents. Like this Peeps tumbler! (And yes, whenever I type “tumbler” I have to double check to ensure I didn’t type “tumblr”.)

4:07 pm – bathroom. Yes, you’ve probably seen this already if we are friends in some sort of internet-y capacity. As I finally post this on Sunday, it’s just about time for another one!

7:21 pm – kitchen. Fitbit needs charging. This thing requires charging so infrequently, it’s a wonder I don’t accidentally run the battery dry more often.

8:55 pm – kitchen. Having a nice chat with my buddy Mike on Twitter.

9:30 pm – bathroom. About to scrub the hell out of this pen to get it off of my leg. And arm. And the side of my tummy from yesterday’s body comp lab. The pen on my subscapular area, however, is a mystery to me whether it is still there because obviously I cannot reach, nor see, there. Also, if you look closely you can see one of my knee scars [out of four].

10:40 pm – kitchen. This is not going to be done today. Especially with working in a daycare, where we obviously do not do post-“expiry” dairy, I can’t bring myself to do milk anything more than the day after the best before, even if it’s still technically good. It just weirds me out.

10:56 pm – bedroom. Thank God I don’t have to set my alarm for this time tomorrow–6:50 is early enough.

11:05 pm – bedroom. Been living out of this bag for ten days. Good to be home.

11:13 pm – bathroom. Bedtime meds. [Yes, I did have a boring day and yes, i am desperate for pictures at this point.]

11:18 pm – bedroom. Sleeping in my own bed for the first time in over a week, instead of my grandparents futon. Like I said, good to be home. [Actually, I had a nap here one day last week. Sleeping on a futon is not apparently great for the energy levels.]

Kerri on the Prairies
