March 2025
March 31, 2025 Monday - While we were out yesterday, I took the car to the car wash. Today we got out to run some errands after work. When I got to the end of the driveway, my tire light came on. I stopped to air it up before driving into town. While we were stopped there, I realized how covered my car was with pollen. But even with all that pollen, it still had a cool reflection as the sun was starting to get low in the sky.
March 30, 2025 Sunday - I spent a big part of the day doing some freelance work, but after Dutton was picked up this afternoon, I took the pups to town to pick up some prescriptions and more ribs. We also picked up some dinner for all of us. The girls ride up front so Zak can have the back to himself. I’m going to need a free weekend soon just to vacuum the car and clean all the windows.
March 29, 2025 Saturday - This weekend I have a house guest. Dutton has come to stay with us again. She’s my niece’s little corgi. Biscuit and Pancake are not the least bit happy about sharing their space with an excited 1-year-old. Zak didn’t mind so much until she spent most of our couch time in my lap. He was kind of moody the whole time she was here.
March 28, 2025 Friday - I usually take the pups out for a pee break a couple of times a day along with their normal walks. We go out the side door, and this always makes Zak think we’re going for a ride. There’s a little ditch/stream that runs along the side of the property on this side of the house. A few of these were growing there.
March 27, 2025 Thursday - Today after work, I finally got out to do some grocery shopping. I came across a display full of ribs. I took a photo of this slab to send to my brother. One, to confirm this was a good price and two, to let him know the ribs were on sale at Kroger. Unfortunately, there was a limit of two per person. I’ll have to come back a couple of times before the sale ends.
March 26, 2025 Wednesday - I was talking with my boss yesterday. She was having a long day. I mentioned we should have lunch, and coincidentally, she was available today for lunch. She had something going on in Dallas, so we met there. It was good to hang out with her for a while today. I’ve been pretty fortunate to have had quite a few really great bosses.
March 25, 2025 Tuesday - I had a doctor’s appointment today. I took the pups with me for the ride. After my appointment, I took them to get some lunch. I had the windows down for Zak. He was pretty excited while we were driving in town. At one point, he was turning around in the back and flung a drop of drool directly into my ear. I love this guy, but he’s such a dufus.
March 24, 2025 Monday - Today was another long day of work. I sent the files to my client last night, and they had a few edits for me to work on this evening. Fortunately, the edits were pretty easy and didn’t take too long. I did have to go for a drive and pick up some dinner for me and the pups. I mean, they had their food, but since I was getting something, I couldn’t not get them a snack too. Biscuit was pretty happy after.
March 23, 2025 Sunday - Today I spent all day wrapping up the first round of videos for the freelance project I’m working on. I took a quick break for lunch, dinner, and to walk the pups, but other than that, I was at my desk. Toward the end of the evening, I got this photo of Zak relaxing on the couch while I was working.
March 22, 2025 Saturday - I slept in for a bit, but then spent most of the day today working on the freelance project I got last week. It’s editing several videos for a breakfast franchise. I love breakfast for any meal, at any time of day. This made me hungry all day. I took a break to get lunch. But spent most of the day at my desk.
March 21, 2025 Friday - My friend who makes cookies sent me a ridiculous text the other day. “I made cookies. Do you want some?” The answer will always be, “YES!” She sent me a box of her Oatmeal Chocolate Chip with Pecans. These are definitely one of my favorites. I put this in the microwave for 9 seconds to warm it up. This was my snack after lunch today.
March 20, 2025 Thursday - This morning I had to go into town to get some lab work done. This is the photo I was trying to take the other night. I used to not let the window down far enough for Zak to stick his head out. He would get excited and step on the button and roll down the window. He would jump, try to jump out when he did. The new seat cover covers the doors now too, so he can’t do that.
March 19, 2025 Wednesday - This morning, we had a late breakfast. I’m out of avocados, so we had my other go-to: egg, ham, & cheese on sourdough toast. I used to make two of these and eat half of each and share the rest. Now I make two: one for me and one to split among the pups. I pop their yolk so it’s less messy when I cut it for them.
March 18, 2025 Tuesday - Today was another really busy day of work, and then an evening filled with more work. I took a break and took the pups with me to get a pizza. Zak was hanging out the window most of the way. When I finally stopped at the pick-up window to get a photo of him, he wouldn’t be still at all. I got a few, but he was really blurry. This was the best of all the photos I took. I like the red glow on the side of the mirror.
March 17, 2025 Monday - A little bit after our morning walk, I grabbed my camera and got this photo of Zak relaxing on the couch. I knew I was going to be really busy with work and then freelance work. I got this while the light was nice, and I wouldn’t have to worry about it for the rest of the day.
March 16, 2025 Sunday - I got another freelance gig doing some more video editing. I spent a big chunk of the day working on that. There was a ton of footage to go through. This one is a restaurant franchise, and it makes me want breakfast the whole time. Toward the end of the evening, I realized I needed a photo for today. Biscuit was lying on the couch, so she got the nod.
March 15, 2025 Saturday - Today I went to hang out with my friend and his family up in Plano. I made one of my better batches of guac this time. We grilled wings and corn. But the real reason we’re here is to relax on the patio, with a Jack and Coke and a good cigar or two. Today was a really good day, with good food, good friends, good drinks, and good cigars.
March 14, 2025 Friday - This morning we took a little later walk than normal, and it seems we almost interrupted a breakfast meeting at the end of the block. Zak and Pancake were quite interested. Biscuit couldn’t care less. Probably because she can’t see that far. As much as Zak and Pancake were reacting, the birds couldn’t care less.
March 13, 2025 Thursday - This morning, we had avocado toast with eggs, feta, and oregano for breakfast. The one up front is for me. I love a sunny-side-up egg. I popped the yolk on purpose on the one in the back. I did that so it wouldn’t be so messy when I cut it up for the pups. Zak is 96 lbs. Biscuit and Pancake are both about 14 lbs. Zak gets a proportionately bigger piece.
March 12, 2025 Wednesday - Today was a pretty busy day with work. I finished working on a video for a client today, and even though I’m still having a hard time getting up in the morning, I’m loving the longer daylight evenings. After the evening walk with the pups, I came out and got this photo of more dandelions in the yard as the sun was going down.
March 11, 2025 Tuesday - I got my hair cut today. The girl that’s been cutting my hair for the last 25 years is in Dallas. My cousin also cuts hair here in Burleson, so I alternate between the two. Today after my haircut, my cousin and I went to get some lunch. It was good to talk about movies, shows, and cars with him.
March 10, 2025 Monday - When I was a kid, I remember thinking this was the coolest Stormtrooper costume. I had a couple of these action figures when I was a kid, too. I got an email from Target a while back that showed this latest helmet set was coming out. I ordered this the other day, and it was delivered earlier today.
March 9, 2025 Sunday - The other day when I was at the grocery store, I was walking down the aisle and saw the boxes of instant pudding. I haven’t had this in forever, and I really do love pudding, but pudding cups are kind of gross. I made this last night and couldn’t wait to try it today. I took a break from some freelance work and had a few spoonfuls.
March 8, 2025 Saturday - A while back, I bought a bright orange McLaren. Yes, it was a Lego set. I mean, seriously, Zak wouldn’t fit in it. Not that he would fit in this one either. I slept in a little bit and then spent the morning putting this together. I didn’t sleep well or hardly at all last night. My right shoulder is really uncomfortable. I took a nap later in the afternoon.
March 7, 2025 Friday - Today I took a break at lunch and took the pups with me to go grocery shopping. I was walking down the aisle and glanced over and saw these on the fridge shelf. I remember really loving these when I was young. It might be flavored with other natural flavors, but the primary flavor tastes terribly artificial. I tried to drink this on the way home and didn’t finish it.
March 6, 2025 Thursday - I was tired of sitting at my desk toward the end of the day, so I decided to move to the couch for the last hour of work. Zak was sleeping until he heard me turn on my camera. He opened his eyes just before I took this and rolled over a few moments after. I love his rusty red, black, and white coat. He’s a handsome boy.
March 5, 2025 Wednesday - Today I had to run an errand at lunch. I’m not 100% yet but I don’t feel too bad anymore. While we were out I picked up lunch for all of us. After our evening walk and dinner we relaxed on the couch. This is the best part of the day. Having all three of the pups on my lap keeping me warm.
March 4, 2025 Tuesday - I’m finally stating to feel better. Still not good but less bad. I actually worked from my desk today, all day. I did a bit of laundry too. This evening I took the pups for a walk down to the mailbox again. I got this photo while I was checking the mail. I bet the pups are looking forward to getting back to our normal walks.
March 3, 2025 Monday - The prescription that my doctor called in for me comes with packets of these two pills for each dose. One of the side effects is it gives you a metallic taste in your mouth all the time. That’s bad enough on its own but waking up with that in the morning is just awful. I’m glad tomorrow is my last dose.
March 2, 2025 Sunday - Today was basically a replay of yesterday. I got another photo of Zak being lazy on the couch next to me. Did y’all know Gal Gadot and Gina Carano were both in Fast and Furious 6? If I had known that I would have watched that one a long time ago. These movies are not very good but this one was at least entertaining.
March 1, 2025 Saturday - I slept in quite a bit today. I’m still not feeling all that great. Again, I spent most of the day on the couch, resting with the pups. I got this photo of Biscuit at some point during the day. This was just after she woke up and her face was suffering from significant bead head.
