I am in the process of returning to my normal exercising outdoor loving self. Even though I am quite tired much of the time, I am trying to make a point of walking the dogs and taking Lily out in her stroller. I have been doing quite well. On Thursday night, I was pretty worn out, but I decided I needed to take the dogs for a quick run anyway. They had lots of energy, and I know that exercising is supposed to give me more. We were about halfway through our run when a guy pulled up next to us in his car and asked me where I took the dogs to get them groomed. If you know about my dogs, you know that they are nothing fancy. They are both very sweet, formerly stray sweethearts, but well groomed they are not. I told him I take care of them myself, and he said he would pull over so we could talk. He pulled up to the next corner and turned right. When I got to the corner, I turned left. It was the plan from the beginning. I had to turn to get home. Also, I do not really need to be talking to strange men in cars. It was nice to be noticed. This sort of thing used to happen quite regularly when I was just out of college, but it has been a while. I do not plan on making this a habit if I can help it.
