A Size Ten


It's true!  I wear a size ten...shoe.

I'm currently working on downsizing my clothing size from a size 14/16 to a size 8/10.  I was not expecting my feet to go from a size 7.5/8 (most of my life) to a size 10.  I've been buying size 10 athletic shoes and wearing 9.5 sandals for the past six months.  Today I put on my most comfortable and favorite 9.5 black shoes and before lunch I knew something was up.

It felt like my toes were smashed up against a wall.  I couldn't wait to get home and get them off.  Now I have no dress shoes for winter.  Even the winter boots I wore yesterday for 'Give Drugs the Boot' day at school were small at 9.5.  I just got them last winter. So with no shoes and not boots, I have to go shoe shopping!

I also have to rid my closet of all of the size 9.5.  This makes me sad. I hope they find a good home.

Mid Life ... Crisis or Not

Image
As I mentioned yesterday, perhaps I'm in a midlife crisis.  I've been reading several articles and blogs:  The Midlife Crisis ,  10 Signs , and  Is it Real?  to name a few.  So I've decided, I am in a crisis and it is in the middle of my life.  But I'm not going to buy anything elaborate --- except maybe that trip to Ireland I'm planning this year.  I've been overly stressed and overwhelmed. I've been worried about my health and well being and I do feel inadequate in both my family and professional life though and that bothers me.  Nothing really has changed except my perception.  At least that's what I keep telling myself.  It's all me and how I look at things. And then I don't believe myself --- which causes a crisis!  UGH!

Movie Night

Image
It's family movie night at our house.  We just finished watching Earth to ECHO , a movie none of us had seen before. I liked it.  It was Sandlot ish... about a group of childhood friends, solving a problem and becoming better friends because of it.  It also reminded me of the Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, Flight of the Navigator , or  ET as the plot envolved children and space creatures or aliens. Next up is Big Hero 6 which we saw in the movie theatre and I wrote about in November.  I hope I can stay awake til the end. After that, they may watch The Book of Life but I'm sure I'll be asleep by then.  I love movie nightA

The Scooter

Well I'm back on the scooter I used for the two foot surgeries I had in 2016. It sure is better than the crutches! When I ring the bell I will think of the now retired librarian at our school who gave it to me five years ago. As I check my calorie tracker for today it states: 1694 calories food and 51 oz. water.
