The last time I did a 12 of 12 was in 2016. I may have been one of the last hangers-on of this thing I learned of through my friend Mike. 12 of 12 was a thing where we took, for months on end, 12 pictures on the 12th day of the month and blogged them. (This is my 26th 12 of 12 on this site, and I did others on old sites. I kind of can’t believe it.)
So at 12:23 AM I texted Mike my first picture and said “12 of 12 lockdown edition, you in??”
I got a text back at 12:24 am: “Let’s do it.”
12:23 AM
Good night. Had to show off my awesome dinosaur bedding, purple blanket from Steve, handmade octopus from Keri-Lynn (who swears she will never make another so I feel special), and guitar my cousin Dean made me long ago. Oh and the decorative painters tape that’s been on my walls for years.
9:38 AM
Morale boost flying across the country. The Canadian Forces Snowbirds took to the Manitoba skies this morning. Great view from our deck on Manitoba’s 150th birthday.
10:47 AM
Little Animal Crossing before I get to work. Got bored of the Trudeau press conference today which means the options are either work or video games.
12:30 PM
Editing my fourth-ever podcast for work. Still needing to google things to remember how GarageBand works.
Also I need to clean my MacBook screen.
1:08 PM
I was going to listen to a live recording of the Rational Security podcast because I’m a giant nerd, except it’s not til tomorrow and I have another Zoom scheduled then. Whoops.
2:01 PM
The video version of the podcast above. Little did I know at the time I’d have to do the tags all over again on both YouTube and Facebook because I didn’t update the title in the video intro and had to fix it, export it, and re-upload it.
6:27 PM
Happy birthday, Manitoba. My province is 150 today.
7:39 PM
We got a grocery pickup slot today. Giant strawberries that are delicious!
(If you care about our level of pandemic, yes, we are disinfecting most packaging, such as the strawberry clamshell I placed my strawberry atop.)
8:24 PM
Giant strawberries. Tiny watermelon.
10:29 PM
Actual footage of my expression when I realized I bought this tropical shirt on the island twice.
11:59 PM
I love having cute CNIB Guide Dogs on my kitchen calendar! Hiya, Potter!

Thanks for joining in on a slice of my lockdown life. Check out what Mike was up to (his is a lot more interesting, and pretty, than mine!).
Anybody up for a 12 of 12 resurrection? If so, I hope June is a bit more interesting! 😉
