Nevertheless, I tried to come up with an offering, minus all the ick.
12:01 a.m. - After the approaching tornado drama of predawn Sunday, I spent most of the day napping off and on. So, by midnight, I was wide awake again, and I figured that since I was awake, I would start my deep Spring cleaning. I started by pulling all the winter clothes out of the closet.....
12:45 a.m. - and storing them in the cedar chest.
1:06 a.m. - Yes, I know the clock says 1:16, but I do the 10 minute fake-out, where I set the clock ahead by 10 minutes so that I won't be late. Of course, I know that it is 10 minutes fast, so I end up ignoring it, hitting snooze again, and then ultimately being 10 minutes late.
7:27 a.m., 7:30 a.m., 11:49 a.m. - This is really three photos in one. You see - I live less than a mile from work, so I have this same exact odometer photo from when I left for work, when I arrived at work, and when I returned home.
7:42 a.m. - This is my snack/lunch/mint drawer in my desk. I replenished my supply of Lifesavers and Granola bars over the weekend, so now I'll have fresh breath for at least another month.
1:14 p.m. - After arriving home and being sick for about an hour, I needed a shower because I felt pretty icky. Seriously, the best thing about my house is the shower. I'm probably singlehandedly responsible for the Georgia Drought, as I will stay in the shower until the hot water runs completely out. And if I get tired, I can just readjust the direction of the sprayers and sit down on the bench and take a nap.
2:03 p.m. - After the shower, I took some medicine and settled into my chair with my pillow and blanket and watched a little TV. There's Jason Castro from American Idol on some daytime talk show. This shot is for my BFF Traci. I swear, the two of us haven't been this ga-ga over a long haired, stoner musician since we were in college.
2:21 p.m. - I'm starting to feel ill again, so I figure I better take a couple of quick shots before I end up incapacitated again. But I don't really feel like getting up, so here is a picture out of one of my windows.
2:22 p.m. - and of my foot. I had my last pedicure on last month's 12 of 12, and the toes still look pretty freshly painted. I think I got my money's worth.
2:24 p.m. - Yep, I'm gonna be sick again. But about that time, my cell phone started that horrid beeping noise that it makes when it is close to losing the charge. So I plugged it in to recharge. Told you - thrilling day going on here.
2:53 p.m. - the meds are getting the best of me, so I'm going to lie down for a while.
Hopefully, next month's 12 will be better. Oh hell, how could it be worse? I'm planning to take the kids on a day trip that week, and the 12th is the day that I'm eyeing.
Oh, and as an addendum, today is Day 18 of the gratefulness experiment. Today I am grateful for finally feeling a little better after a day of feeling horrible.

Feel better Joni! You have my Mom's cedar chest & a North Hollywood porno shower.
Oh no! Sorry you felt so ill, I hope you're feeling better! And that you avoid any tornadoes.
I'm mighty impressed at you cleaning out your closet at that time of the night though!

I am totally jealous of your snack/lunch/mint drawer.
I love your shower!
I'm sorry you were feeling ill yesterday. Hope today is much better!
Well of course I forgot all about it being the 12th. again.
I think Jason Castro looks just like John Travolta. It's eerie. I don't watch American Idol anymore though. (yawn)
Great 12 of 12 though. Glad there were no vomit pictures.
And your shower rocks. When we built this house, I considered the jets, but cheapness took over. Now I wish I would have done it.
I'll be in Atlanta around October 28th to maybe November 7th ish. I would love to see everything, and take lots of photos, of course!
Joni, hope you are feeling better soon.
Cool photos! Feel well soon!
