August 2025
August 17, 2025 Sunday - We’re still down south. We started the morning with a nice walk around the neighborhood of the AirBnB. There were quite a few dear walking around. We had a great breakfast with the boys before heading back home. I got to spend the rest of the day with Riley.
August 16, 2025 Saturday - It’s high time I get away for a little bit. Riley came to stay with my pups for me so I could meet my friend and his family down south. They’re helping get their oldest settled in at college. It’s been so cool to see this kid grow up to be a cool young man with a good head on his shoulders. My friend’s have raised a good one!
August 15, 2025 Friday - Today was another really long day spent sitting at my desk. I’m really geting tired of sitting here. Fortunately it wasn’t a late night. When I was done I looked over and saw my bag of chocolates. I unwrapped one to eat and then unwrapped what was left and got this photo.
August 14, 2025 Thursday - I had a lot of work to do today. So much so, I took a couple of days off to get more freelance work done. Regardless of how busy I may be I still have to get out and walk the pups. It was warm today, but we’ve still not had a really hot day like most August days.
August 13, 2025 Wednesday - I did a couple of loads of laundry today. I washed my sheets and blankets too. I finished this last load just in time for bed. As I was making my bed I decided this would be my photo of the day. This is one of the ways Zak’s anxiety shows itself. Fortunately he doesn’t chew the blanket underneath. I’m not even sure how he does that.
August 12, 2025 Tuesday - Today was a full day of work and then a long evening of freelancing. I don’t remember that I did much of anything of than sit at my desk. I think the dogs are becoming bored with me too. When I was finally done for the day I realized I needed a photo of today. Zak was being lazy on the couch.
August 11, 2025 Monday - I did a grocery order today. I can’t remember the last time I ate cereal. And since I was ordering cereal I went with one of my favorites from when I was a kid. I ordered a box of Captain Crunch. I don’t remember what I had for breakfast but I met a friend for lunch at a breakfast place. To complete the day I had breakfast cereal for dinner. Not a bad day.
August 10, 2025 Sunday - No Photo
August 9, 2025 Saturday - I spent most of the working on another freelance project. It was a long day. I did get out to take the dogs for walks today. By the time. I finally decided to wrap up for the day and relaxed on the couch for a little while before going to bed. I was on Disney+ and saw that My Name Is Earl was available through Hulu. This is one of the funniest shows ever.
August 8, 2025 Friday - Guess what? Horse butt! Hahahaha. When we left the house for our evening walk, the neighbors were over near our fence. After our walk, I went in and grabbed my camera. By the time I got back out, they were still near enough for a few good photos, but this was the only one standing in the sun. I like how shiny he is.
August 7, 2025 Thursday - I usually work through lunch. I’ll just grab something and eat while I work. Today I decided to actually take a break and sit on the couch while I eat. I watched an episode of The Amazing Race while I took my break. Biscuit came and laid in my lap after I finished lunch. She was showing her gratitude for my sharing with her.
August 6, 2025 Wednesday - Yesterday, I changed the filter in my fridge. It crossed my mind to turn on the craft ice maker so I could celebrate. It took 24 hours to make the first batch. This evening, after doing a little bit of freelance work and riding my bike, I made myself a little drink with my Sinatra Select Jack Daniels. I try to save it for special occasions, but today will have to do.
August 5, 2025 Tuesday - Today was a long work day. I was working on another video for a client, and it was going really well. I’ve been watching The Amazing Race for a long while now. I started with the first season. I think I’m in season 17 now. I rode my bike for a bit while I watched another episode. After I remembered, I needed a photo for today. Zak was watching me ride my bike.
August 4, 2025 Monday - We had some bad weather blow through around 3:30 a.m. this morning. I know this because Zak was pacing, which includes him walking across my bed more than a few times. It made walking up for work a bit of a challenge. It also made getting through the day a bit of a challenge. Since I don’t drink coffee, I relied on these a couple of times today. I’m going to need to make another trip to Grapevine soon.
August 3, 2025 Sunday - Today I slept later than I’ve slept in a very, very long time. The blackout curtains I put up in my room make a huge difference. I did quite a bit of cleaning and quite a bit of freelance work. As dinner time was approaching, I got a text from my sister suggesting we do something not homemade. I took the pups for a walk and then we went into town to get dinner for all of us. They’re excited because they know they’re getting dinner too.
August 2, 2025 Saturday - I’ve got a couple of projects that I really need to work on, but my good friend knows how to get me to not work on the weekend. I mean, I did do some work this morning, but I didn’t spend the whole day working. I did spend quite a bit of the day doing this. Which makes for a very good day indeed. Happy Saturday, my friends.
August 1, 2025 Friday - I knew this day was coming. I’ve been staring at the box on my counter for a while now, knowing it was one cookie away from being empty. Now what? I’m still surprised how this cookie is just as fresh and delicious as the first cookie I got out of the box almost two months ago. Finding that Kilwins is helping me cope, but it’s not the same.
