it hurt pretty bad.
even though i got special "dry socks" to prevent blisters, i got 4. there were two on the bottom of one foot, and then they became one. i had a little ceremony. i don't know why i keep saying that.
this is so gross, but i definitely popped and drained them all so i can get back to walking tomorrow. the internet said not to, but i said...you're not my mom, internet. this is what's going to happen. deal. i took measures to prevent infection. stop freaking out, everyone.
so i've mentioned to people that i'm having trouble with my ankles. and i also said that i had these problems before, because of my job. which doesn't sound true. i just work at a preschool, not a...landfill. i don't know where people get bad ankles. but you probably wouldn't think it would happen at a preschool. however.
will you please look at this picture of my work shoes, which i have to replace every 4-5 months.
you'd think i spend my days traversing* lava rock or something.
i know what some of you are thinking. "maybe if you replaced the more often, your feet wouldn't hurt." false. i just know you're wrong. even if i did that, the fact remains...my work shoes look like that after a few months, and yours probably don't. i don't know exactly why, but my job is hard on feet.
it's something about the floor maybe? it's really hard. other people complain about it. and i'm constantly going back and forth between squatting and standing up, because they're little people. i've started doing some feet stretches that i found...on the internet.
=)
enough about feet, my least favorite subject. blech.
last week i took a picture of the all-star dinner i made last week. which i mentioned. green bean salad (green beans, tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onions, feta cheese), with a side of MANGO and avocado. YUM. look at this. don't you want to eat this?
*i looked up the definition of "traversing" to make sure i was using it right. every now and then i lose confidence in my lexicon. my lexicon is so exiguous. ANYWAY. i entered the first letter "t" into google, and the first word it searched for, just based off that one letter...
"tyranny."
100 more pages of the federalist papers, and maybe google will think i have a life again.

you're hilarious. but i'm thinking maybe you should buy actual tennis shoes for work, they will last longer. my tennis shoes started falling apart on the inside about a month or so ago since i stand on my feet all day too. so i feel ya.

That meal looks delicious, but, somehow, not as delicious as it probably should following, as it does, graphic discussion of your blisters.
wait a minute... have you been walking in Vans or something like that? That picture is not a picture of a show you should be walking in... which could be why they're FALLING APART! Girl... no wonder you have blisters! Those are NOT walking shoes! You need to get some Nikes or Adidas or something cushioned and supportive! Sheesh... you silly. ;o)
ps... I know that neither I nor the internet are your mom... but your bad ankles are probably a result of wearing VANS or tennis without arch support. I know... arch support sounds like something your grandmother would be worried about. But seriously, I work on cement floors walking circles around arenas all day and the only thing that saved my feet were buying a pair of Asics. good arch, thick cushioned soul, breathable... blah blah blah. Trust me on this one friend.
