The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week


Oh Lord. Sometimes life can be hard. And it's not just politics that I have to worry about!!

After many mistakes of trying to order work shoes online, I came to the conclusion that shoe shopping has to be done in person. Same goes for swimsuits and also jeans. I have found jegging's that I love, and I have ordered them online to find out that the same style and size of jeggings can be made in different parts of the world in different clothing factories, and they can fit differently, even though they have the same size and style/brand label. So, to avoid future frustration, I shop for these items in person now. Several people have benefited from my mistakes though, where I've delayed the return process beyond the allowable timeframe, and I've given my mistakes away…

My mother lived with me when she was 92-95. I inherited her very wrinkly skin which makes a bathing suit less than flattering, especially at my age. She taught me so much about how to age. While every year she experienced a new loss, she forged ahead with what she had left. Since my last suit was in shreds, I bought a new one along with a sun protective jacket to wear over it. I love the colors. As I venture out into public with my new suit in my less than flattering body, I hear my mom telling me to be comfortable in my own skin and forge ahead with what I have got. Wishing you well…

I have very simple tastes when it comes to sandals, but you may want to try an online company called Orthofeet. I buy my tennis shoes from them. They have great arch support and I find them very comfortable. They do offer some sandal styles. Ann Duncan

I hear you, sister. Bathing suit shopping can be SO over the top. I wanted to share with you a suit I recently purchase. I just turned 70. It's cute. Doesn't make me feel like a sausage. Immediately got complements at water aerobics. It did take a couple of weeks to arrive. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G8B97T7?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details


As for sandals, I had plantar fascitis so also live in tennis shoes. The running around sandals I wear are ugly. Boo! Life Stride has some nice looking flat sandals, though you can't wear them all day with PL. With physical therapy and remembing to do those exercises once in a while my feet are pretty much ok now.


As for a shoe for PF, I like…

I've seen Vionic - and they're the most attractive of the lot - I will have to look more closely!
