My 2012 365 Project
Over at 365 Project I’m posting a new picture every day. Not the most artful or thoughtful picture, just the picture that sums up my day.
At the end of each month I’m planning to post a short story (or maybe a series of connected story fragments) that are inspired by that month’s photos. I can guarantee a complete lack of reality or fact in those posts – that’s the point! I haven’t quite figured out the format for those posts yet, but it’s almost the end of January so I guess I should figure it out!

I have so many things to update you on, my loyal readers, that I don’t know where to begin. Consequently, I keep logging in and then getting so tangled up trying to organized my thoughts that I lose several hours to the Manatee cam and then, oops, time to get to school.
Wild Manatee Cam at Blue Spring State Park.
Warning: that’s a good quality feed and there are 344 manatees wintering there so there’s lots of manatee action and I can’t be responsible if you stop bathing and lose your job because you’ve gotten sucked in.
Today wasn’t a total loss for me. I didn’t make it to the gym, but I put on my gym clothes at one point and seriously considered it. I’m at the gym so much it was recently suggested to me that I run for the Board of Directors. Missing a day isn’t a big deal.
Plus, I figure that somedays wresting into a sports bra is workout enough. I’ve found the most brilliantly comfortable running bra on the planet (Moving Comfort, Juno). It looks like body armor, but it’s sheer engineering genius. And while it’s challenging to put on, it’s got clever velcro closures on the straps so you never have to worry about it being difficult to remove when you’re sweaty and tired. I always think it’s important to have an escape route in case of, I don’t know…fire or something.
I don’t know why I think that.
