2025 Project 365 – Week Ten

I’d like to blame the current administration for the state of my nails, but in fact they break off every year at this time. It’s like they do such a great job of making it through the winter, and then say “nah dawg - we’re done,” when spring is in sight. Rude. 

Sunday, March 2nd      

Spring training baseball! I look a little maniacal here. Ha! 


Monday, March 3rd

My birthday! I had pound cake and banana pudding at work, and Dr. M picked some daffodils for me. And he got me a new vacuum cleaner! I actually asked for it - I was about to throw our other one off the porch. He also got me something else, but you have to wait until next week to see it (it just came today). I also went out shopping with my bestie - it’s been a long time since I had someone in the dressing room with me helping me decide what to buy. 



Tuesday, March 4th

I posted a before and after shot - last year’s birthday & this year’s birthday. Even though I know in my head that I’ve lost 63 pounds, I hadn’t really realized what a big difference there was!



Wednesday, March 5th 

Ash Wednesday. 



Thursday, March 6th  

I took today & Friday off from work, and spent some time running errands (dr. appointment, oil change, groceries). Meanwhile, Dr. M spent some time with the cat whisperer.



Friday, March 7th      

We had my family birthday party today. It was great spending time with dad & Sue, my brother & his wife. But we all know who the stars of the show were. 





Saturday, March 8th   

Dr. M came home from checking on his Pop and did some very productive deck sitting!



The time changes tomorrow and while I’m happy about it (team DST forever), I am NOT happy about how long it will take my body to get used to it. How do you feel about DST?

  1. Happy Birthday and may there be many, many more. Hooray for cake, too!

    I'm glad you went out shopping for some new clothes with a friend. That's always nice--to have a second set of eyes to help make decisions.

    1. Yes! She was a lot of help. I really miss having that since my mother died.

  2. My goodness! You look wonderful! I didn't realize how much weight you'd lost; that's real dedication. As for your gifts, that's a perfect illustration of a poem or quote that I can't quite remember and can't find. The point was that practicality and beauty belong together: like a vacuum and daffodils!

    As for daylight saving time, all I want is for them to land on DST or standard time and then let it be. It's the constant changing that's annoying. We don't gain or lose hours of light, so what's with the constant clock changing? Grumpgrump...

    1. I agree about picking a time & sticking to it. I'd prefer DST because I like having my light in the evening when I get home from work, but not having to adjust twice a year would be 100% better!

  3. You should be very proud of yourself. You look great. 63 pounds is a great achievement. And hell yeah, DST! I'm not an early riser and so I like that extra hour at the end of the day.

    1. Yes! I don't care how dark it is in the morning on the way to work.

  4. I love productive deck sitting! (Even though I don't have a deck.)

  5. What's DST? I'm from Arizona, the land of sensible people. (Along with Hawaii.) Congrats on that 63 pounds gone. Good work, girl.

    1. I was just talking about Arizona with someone yesterday - they were complaining that they have international employees & employees in Arizona & it's a pain to keep up with the time zone differences without having to add DST into the mix.

  6. Happy belated birthday! I've had my eye on a pound cake at Publix for a couple of weeks. But it's the last thing I need to even consider eating.

    1. Yeah I definitely can't eat cake as often as I used to!

Thanks for stopping by - I'd love to hear what you have to say!

2025 Project 365 – Week Twelve

To continue the nail theme, I switched out my nail polish yesterday & I hate it. It's a color I usually use on my toes, but it does ...
