Check for "Pending Codes". The fault causing this might not be severe enough to trigger the SES light.
Two items that I would suspect, based on timing.
1) Evap purge valve might be sticking open, pulling too much vacuum on the fuel system. This may cause an intermittent P0452 code, but it only seems to trigger that code occasionally, even when the problem is continuous.
2) Heater on the forward O2 sensors might not be heating up anymore, so it's still over-fueling as it warms up. I've had this issue a couple of time. They only seem to last about 125,000 miles. Eventually it will cause a heater-open-circuit code but it has to get really bad before that happens. Earlier symptoms are what you describe, and may be accompanied by a pending P0133 or P0134 code (O2 sensor slow response).
Sometimes it's easier to diagnose by letting it get worse, although it's never a bad practice to make sure all your scheduled maintenance is up to date.
