Gracious! I think I am totally going to have rethink shoes. Which is sad, because I am not talking Sex in the City shoes to be rethought. I am talking earth shoes, ballet flats and like you’re going barefoot shoes.

That forward press on my right side of my right ankle simply cries out in pain by afternoon. Is that limping I’m doing or simply a “new way of walking” which is what I tell people when they ask.

I am up, in fact, this late because my ankle is throbbing and I really don’t like taking medicines just because I can. Or could. I’ll give it another hour and then tell myself I’m silly, take some naproxen that the foot doctor prescribed and then get some sleep.
