4. I need new shoes
Sat Sep 28, 2024, 01:28 PM
Sep 2024

that have leather soles, the good old slippery kind that old people are not supposed to wear. Problem is, I wear compression socks, which means the shoes have to be wide enough to accommodate those thicker socks. I'm going to head over to Designer Shoe Wearhouse when I get a chance. Right now I'm working on Mushroom Bourgignon over Creamy Polenta, which was the reason I was in the damn grocery store in the first place.

And the poster above is right--don't tell anybody you fell. Next thing you know, it's The Home.
