random thoughts – Day 1,275 – (Wednesday) – rain and boots

It was cloudy for most of the day and rainy for part of it. It made me nervous knowing that rain was predicted and there is a hurricane swirling and twirling in the Atlantic and reportedly headed for the East Coast with more wetness. There has been so much rain already this year.

After work, the walk to the garage was riddled with a tight calf and discomfort with every transfer of weight to the left foot. It was just like the days before physical therapy and before the March trip to Rome when I worried about being able to walk around like a tourist. Ugh. At least there is more therapy tomorrow.

At home, the puddle in the driveway was back in place which felt like a suggestion to check the basement for water. I was thrilled there was none and thanked the basement for all its work staying dry today.

Shoe loving.

While Sex and the City season 3 played in the current binge, my own little shoe loving inner Carrie Bradshaw decided to give the gray and lightly sparkly boots from Amazon a second chance. One boot had been tried on a couple days ago, and it pinched in the toes. It was restuffed with the foam and cardboard and tissue to keep the shape during shipping, and set back in the box with its mate. 

The latest wishful thinking was that maybe the first try-on was a fluke or the socks were too thick and it only felt too small in error. This time, the first boot felt fine so the second was tried on, and they aren’t too small at all. There was a walk around the house, and these boots are made for walking after all. Thank goodness for the procrastination and not hastily hitting “return” on the boots. The wedding guest footwear seems to be solved after all.

Now it’s time to get moving on the return of the curtains which definitely don’t work and need to be gone from the dining room table. Maybe later. For now, it’s Carrie and the girls and their shoes and clothes. It’s been years since we spent any time together.
