this whole shoe-thing isn't going well.

I'm going to need to take out stock in a bandage company. I'm using enough.

This whole shoe thing isn't going well.  Wednesday I threw out all my shoes that were "worn out" or curved because I've broken the supports.

That day I wore real shoes to school. I didn't have hose or socks on. It's September. Socks in September. Ick. So I payed for at the end of the day. Huge blister.

The next day I wore clogs to work. I thought it had time to heal. Friday and Saturday I wore my sneakers, with socks, and bandages. They didn't stick. I ripped my heals to shreds. They are like raw meat.

Today, I have covered my heals with wide bandages. And then mole skin. Mole skin never moves. Ever. You need to pull that crap off by force a week later when it's skanky and dirty.

We'll see if the raw meat heals.

Then I have to get at least one pair of slip on shoes. Sure I wish they were Birks, but that is not in the budget.  But I find myself walking less because I have to stop, put on socks and shoes. By then the motivation is gone.

For example I am working a lot at home. Multiple freelance jobs plus my classwork at two schools. I am busy 15 hours a day. And earning half as much money. But more importantly I was taking a "break" between tasks by walking around the big block. 10-15 minutes outside to get the blood moving and the fat burning. I've stopped. The whole break would be used by getting ready. I can't be spontaneous.

Now, I hear you. Just wear the sneakers all day. I'd rather shoot myself. Everyone knows how much I hate sneakers. They were designed by the devil. They are hot and they are heavy. No. i refused.
