It was a busy Wednesday which then became frustrating. Had therapy on my feet seems the fatty tissue on the pad under the toes is atrophying and causing mild nerve damage running up the leg.

Growing old is hard.

Now I have the terrible task of going out and finding a pair of acceptable quality lace up walking shoes. (My size 5 Easy Spirit mules are 'not acceptable'.) Into which I have to fit my new custom made orthotics. I HATE SHOE SHOPPING! It is a very frustrating process for me, because I wear a 5.5 or 5 depending on how the shoe is made. 99% of stores don't carry that size any more and say they can't order it. I get pointed to the children's section. I'm 62 not 6. Dora the explorer is not going to cut it with me. Besides children's shoes are poorly structured for an adult.

I've been told they don't make my size any more, they ship them all to the border states, yadah yadah...all of which are lies. Ordering online is a haphazard affair because no 2 brands are sized the same...thanks China for the crummy unpredictable sizing. GRR! Venting.
