Long and busy day. Decided to journal tonight rather than waiting until the weekend because it was an unusual day as far as activities and food. Went to the zoo, did zoo stuff, some cute babies and it was a beautiful day once the morning clouds receded. Helps that there was no computer there to tempt me.
Zoo first, got some 7000 steps in there, most of which were hills. Love that part of the San Diego zoo. Walking through the jungle canyons they’ve created is one of my favorite things because the temperature drops around 10 degrees and it’s magic. Ended with banana split for lunch because why not? It was quite warm and we shared.
Since it was only mid-afternoon, went for a swim, it was an okay one. Some technical difficulties including an arctic fox who is not afraid of the water and is probably going to be the first dog to jump in. No fear and she barks at me and bites at the jets. Took some pictures in the bikini for my own personal project. I’m making a face at the computer now, but i didn’t delete any of them. Pics aside, i love swimming in a two piece when it’s warm. 868 strokes, 10.2 METs, stopped mid way due to losing the signal for my music.
Dinner was first time we’ve eaten in at the original Filippi’s since just before the plague began. We did a takeout at one point, but it was a nightmare. Made BF promise not to freak out over the parking situation before we got in the car. Wasn’t too bad. The spaghetti sauce was amazing. My grandparents used to take the family to this place and it’s still going strong for something like 75 years. Not fancy, just solid. Got home and decided to take a walk with the dogs. So, a pretty overall good day, although it was a little weird that the sales guy from my last car purchase called to wish me happy birthday. Whatever, dude.
Skyfari view of the park, baby orangutan, cute bear i can’t remember the name of at the moment, and sassy Lili, the soon to be water dog. We’re planning on taking her to Shelter Island this weekend, but she will likely be wearing a life jacket with a long tether because she forgets to listen.
A good day overall and time for sleep.
