Okay it’s going to be one of those multiple blog days as it’s really slow and I’ve got all my paperwork in order for my meeting with the lawyer later this afternoon. I spent the entire day working on it yesterday as was quiet around the office. I imagine it will be until the visa statements come in and them I’m expecting “expense-form-filling out hell”!! But until then, look busy! That’s the game plan.

Here’s my question for today: Why do shoes have to hurt? Some shoes are all day shoes and I love those kind. Some are sexy or cute AND comfortable but some are sexy or cute and really really not. Yesterday I put on a pair of shoes that I bought while down in Hartford, one of the only good things to come out of the trip. They are kind of retro and at the start of the day I suspected they wouldn’t be “all day shoes” but I was willing to live through it cuz they were so cute. As it turned out, after I put a couple of heavy-duty band-aids on my heels just below the back ridge of the shoe, they were fine.

Today I’m definitely wearing “not all day” shoes. By the time I was standing on the subway this morning my heels were raw. I walked from my house to the streetcar, from the streetcar to the subway station, through the subway station and onto the train. Raw…red (not yet bleeding) but raw. I had pre-empted worsening the blister situation by putting band-aids on the spots where I had them yesterday but this is now a higher location as they are sort of strappy and go around my ankle. If you were at the wedding, they are the red #’s I wore with my “cocktail” outfit at the beginning of the evening. I’ve put another set of band-aids trimmed to try and camouflage considering the teeny strap but I feel like a walking bandage.

What we go through for fashion.

Here's some help.
