Fritzy 22's Journal, 13 Nov 22

Yesterday I took Bobby for a quick walk - just to the corner of my street and back because it was so cold and I haven't received his vest or jacket in the mail yet. Actually it was still in my Amazon shopping cart so I ordered it last night. I then went on a longer walk alone, down to the lake where there is a nice level street that has a nice loop in the middle. While on that street I noticed a couple I didn't know with a dog. I stopped and asked them "is that Gus?" It was, I remembered him from the dog park about 4 or 5 years ago. It's funny I don't remember people but I remember dogs. They were amazed. I had never met the wife, but met her husband and college age daughter a few times at the dog park. We talked about 10 minutes. The walk home was really hard on me. I think maybe I was able to do it a week or so ago was because I was so motivated with the step counter. But I took the easiest hill home. I have to stop on it at least once to catch my breath. I was out of breath most of the way home. Maybe it's the colder weather, but something made it difficult yesterday. Sometimes I think it's the time of day I walk. First thing in the morning, as soon as it gets light is when I have the most energy. I go downhill quickly after that. I got home from the 2nd walk around 11:30.

No plans for meals today. Had coffee and 1/4 bagel with a tiny bit of butter earlier. Tomato soup later and 2 mugs of milk, maybe even hot chocolate later in the day for protein. My neighbor is doing a Costco run today and I asked her to pick up one of their apple pies for me. Hope I am able to resist it and just have small slices once in awhile. But I love that pie! I got a coupon for a free large one topping pizza at the local pizza restaurant. Got it using "points" at my local market. I am staying home for Thanksgiving and watching my sister's 2 dogs. So I thought I'd get the pizza on the day before Thanksgiving. I really don't want to watch the dogs but felt mean saying no to my sister. I'm fine with her older dog, but the shih tzu is about 7 months and somewhat a brat. I don't think she's totally housebroken either. I told my sister she will owe me.
