It might just be a matter of a particular vitamin supplement which your body can no longer readily absorb. I think I read somewhere that that can be a problem as we age. It might just be a result of these past several trying months and will resolve itself with time. But it can't hurt, can it? We care about you, Jean.

My pedometer said it was 2000+ steps, once around the store.

Not always easy for the elderly outdoors here in Canada, where the risk of slipping on ice is a big consideration. Have just lost my walking buddy, who's away for work for the next 4 months (our icy months) - we'll see if I get in my daily hour now. A minimum of 1 minutes at a time is recommended, half an hour even better if you can, and glad that you have Drummond Place Gardens.
