It's sinking in

It's Monday and I'm not at work. I'm overwhelmed with job-related suggestions and ideas, for which I heartily thank you all! It's sinking in that I'm really on the next step now.

Emotionally, the next step seems to be the grumpies.

This morning I had my annual doctor's appointment in which nothing gets done and I pay $430 for the privilege. I'm also currently under a wave of foot-related grumpy, probably because last time I was off work I could run. I'm relearning how to eat right (my usual pattern is to snack on junk all day) when I don't have friends coming by my desk reminding me it's lunchtime. But have I invited anyone to lunch? No, I've just sat here. I haven't even responded (yet) to one friend's invitation to drop by her house.

I'm hermiting.

Worse, I'm ignoring stuff. Under the guise of taking a break, I'm doing nothing at all. I didn't go swim this morning, and I could easily have. I haven't tried to find new special shoes now that the ones I'm wearing are falling apart. Ditto jeans. With all this free time I've put nothing in the crock pot, and I've baked no cookies or pies. I haven't touched the shirt I started sewing last time I was out of work.

I know that though this is minor, it will grow and feed on itself if ungoverned. Activity, that's what I need. A good long run would...

...dammit.

Okay, maybe a load of dishes.

Magic Shoes

HAHAHAHA I bought shoooooooes! I found exactly two web sites willing to sell these magical things to random laymen.

I even got them in extra-small, which means it'll take a lot longer to rip out the stitching around the ankle. (On my current size S, when I try to pull the ankle cross-strap snug enough that I won't wobble, I pull the soft body of the shoe inward away from the rigid heel cup.) If I'm lucky the pivot point on an XS is as good for me as what I've been wearing. Dare I hope it will be better?

I will post pics if I get around to decorating them like I did the others. :-)
