A picture a day for a year. I am glad that I told myself at the beginning that it would be ok if I missed a day or two. That would be part of the story of my year. It took me 30 days before I missed a day. I honestly thought about the picture a few times, but always while I was busy doing something else and my thought was, 'right after I'm done'. But well, right after never happened. I wish I had been perfect in November, but I'm ok with not being perfect. So here is the next week of pictures:
Day 25 Not an exciting picture, but a common sight for my week. There must be a nest of something under the tree because this week all she wanted to do was sniff under there. All. The. Time.
Day 26 The dog always steals the limelight in this house. But we do have other pets. We have a hermit crab. We at one point had a few (they were rescues from people that were not taking care of them) but we were down to one. They are an interesting creature. They live in communities, but they also are a bit cannibalistic. Just this week we decided to get old Hermie another friend. Lets see how long they can coexist!. (So here is the thing....when they molt they are very vulnerable and quite helpless. But while they are molting, they are also apparently very delectable to other hermit crabs. So we added another crab......it will either be a rousing success or a tasty treat. Pictured is the original crab......maybe some day soon I can grab a pic of the new one.
Day 27 My view tonight. The dog curled up beside me and the bird on the perch watching us.
Day 28 Time to wash the 'stinks' off. Zoey is not overly fond of baths, but she gets one regularly.
Day 29 Mertz stays pretty much sequestered in my office. This is her choice. She has the run of the house, but won't get over her fear of the dog so instead basks in the sun on the bed in the office/spare room. In fairness, she is a geriatric cat. She loves my work days thought. She will sleep an hour and then visit me on my desk for a few minutes before going back to the bed to sleep. And she will repeat that cycle throughout the day.
Day 30 - The day I missed. It was a relatively normal day. I worked. I ran to the store. Ohhh, I did create my Christmas Cards and had them printed. Other than that, a normal day.
Day 31 My new obsession. I have ordered a DNA test through ancestry.com. This is in an attempt to prove or disprove the mystery surrounding my fathers parentage. (He was adopted....and there is two possible mothers and two differing stories). While I wait for my test tube to arrive so that I can send in my sample, I decided to go onto the website and create my family tree. Oh my word How fascinating. And honestly, I am not just fascinated because it's my family. I am also putting together Jason's family tree and that is just as fascinating! For example: Jason's great great aunt must was married three times. Her first husband died in 1901 in a tragic train accident. (I've seen pictures of the aftermath). Oh lets not forget the man who had a family and grown kids and was divorced. And the census papers showed that he had a live in house keeper who had a daughter that lived there also. And somehow a few years later this housekeepers daughter was the mother to his 'second' family and his wife. The skeletons are coming out of the closet. hahahaha But yeah, to say I'm somewhat obsessed right now is an understatement.
So there you go, my week. Maybe I forgot to get the picture on that day due to the fact that I was doing my necessary things and just hurrying to get to the computer so I could play with my family trees. :-)
