Another walk in the park.
Well, I was totally convinced that it was going to pour with rain today so I packed Cookie up and headed to the park early so we could get in a quick walk.
We had a very pleasant morning. It was cool and very nice, about 65 degrees. I stopped at a McDonald's on the way and got my "free" chicken biscuit (for $1.40). It was fine. I had a few bites of it and gave most of it to Cookie. She thought that was a real treat!
We had a very nice walk around the park. The usual group of school kids were there but they stay in the playground area so the don't bother us on the trail. We had a nice walk and the rain that I was so convinced was coming never materialized.
On the way back, I stopped at the bank and visited with my $$$. The tellers there all know Cookie and a couple of them even came outside and petted her. They usually give her a dog biscuit when I go to the drive-through window.
Still no rain. Once I got home and dropped Cookie off, it was still early, just 11:30. I had a bee in my bonnet to have yummy Greek salad for lunch so I changed my clothes and turned around and headed back out. But when I got to the Greek salad place, they were so full, there was not a single table in the place so I didn't got there. The same thing happened when I went to Plan B Place. So I finally gave up and wound up going to the same place I went to lunch yesterday. I had a black bean burger. It was very good but I am getting kinda tired of that place. If I go out to lunch tomorrow, I will NOT go there.
I wandered around Fashion Island for about an hour and a half. I went to Penney's (didn't buy anything) and Ulta (didn't buy anything). But I killed sometime. I stopped on the way home and bought my one lottery ticket for $2. And that was it.
Ithas been a quiet evening. I made hubby BBQ chicken. corn and pasta for his dinner, I had a delicious BLT. I found some turkey bacon and it is soooooo yummy. And it cooks up perfectly in the microwave. Cookie and I had it for dinner last night. She thought it was yummy too.
I still feeling like I am crawling out from under a rock. Last week was horrible. I just felt like a train wreck and I feel like my enthusiasm for everything has just fallen off a notch or two. I keep telling myself I am not going to get excited about anything because nothing ever works out the way I want it to anyway. I feel like I have just sort of given up a little bit. I am not sure of what precipitated all of this (I have my theories but I won't go into it here) but last week was perfectly horrible. I am feeling better now but much more subdued. I'll just sit here on the computer or do my crossword puzzles or read my book. That's it.
And that is it. My friend's mother who had the terrible accident on Mother's Day isn't doing so great (80 years old and had a TV and a dresser fall on her). I hope she gets better. The doctors did make a pointof saying that she was going to get worse before she got better and it looks like they were right about the first half. Now I hope they are right about the second half of their theory.
And.....(a whole different line of thought here) I am feeling VERY fat. Even though I am walking a good bit, I have not made it to the gym. My enthusiasm for that has waned as well > I don't know. I really don't .
Okay....it was an okay day. Not great. But at least it wasn't a horrible black hole.
Bye bye for now.
zGood night.

I'm glad you & Cookie enjoyed your walk in the park & the chicken biscuit. I haven't tried any. I hope you can pull yourself out of the doldrums. I know how you feel ~ been there myself. For me, if I start working out hard & steady something seems to kick in and I start to feel better but it is really hard to get motivated to start. A catch 22 if I ever saw one, aye.
Take care & I hope the poor woman starts to get better.
