Found my key! We are in! Food will happen.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Made a valiant effort to catch up. Glad that someone put in the vibrator movie link given the turn things were taking!
Ugh. Day could have been worse, but it wasn't good. Got my brother to give me a ride to a far away bike shop so I could pick up the bike, which had its gears and grips switched out. Let me brother go since it was mostly downhill home (my knee still hasn't healed so I have to take it easy). Explored on the way home, stopped by Trader Joe's.
Just as I got past Blair HS and its construction site, my bike gets a flat. I have kevlar tires and tire liners to try to prevent flats because even though I know how to fix a flat, my hands aren't strong enough to do it. Grr. Grr. Grr. I *just* had a flat a couple weeks ago so now I gotta pay again to get it fixed.
Give my brother a call, he's not answering. I have to push my bike, loaded with groceries, about a mile and a half to the nearest bike shop to my house. My hands are starting to get a bit numb by this time. I'm also getting sunburned.
Like I said, coulda been worse. Coulda broken down much farther north into Pasadena. Could have forgotten to put sunscreen on in the morning or have stupidly opted for a dark colored tee instead of a white one.
But when I got home I broke out the cheap white zin on the rocks and downed that baby.

Vortex, if the shoes are leather, you can dip them in water and wear them while they dry. They'll shrink to fit your feet. This is perhaps an extreme solution.
red satin pumps, alas.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Anyone have thoughts on dealing with shoes that are too big?I'm guessing crazy glue isn't an option? Maybe rubber cement? It comes off easier.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
A cobbler might be able to re-sew them.
The shoe-repair cobbler, not the pie kind. Though many things can be fixed with pie, shoes are not among them.

Got a blister on the forced march with the bike as well. Poo.
However, I have now showered the sweat and sunscreen off of me so I'm feeling better. I'm grateful to have someplace to do that.
Wish I had some shoe suggestions but I find no amount of desire to look pretty is worth the blisters and such that I get from shoes that don't fit right. If you're already using insoles and those heel thingies, you're doing as much as can be done, I think.

I always end up kicking off my heels after a couple of hours to dance at most weddings. Granted, most weddings I go to have been close friends, and I bring flipflops and stash under the table or something.
Maybe some of those adhesive corn pads that have more grip, and position them judiciously?
