big girl pants, feet, garden, memories, obsessed, pictures, pond, runners, shoes, waiting, widow

a few weeks ago I was stopped at a light on my way to work and someone crossed in front of me with the most amazing green runners… it was too late to get out my phone to take a picture… a few days later I was waiting by Polo Park and a ton of people were rushing to make the light and many of them had cool shoes… again, no time to take any photos…

since then I’ve been obsessed with shoes…

wherever I’ve been walking, if I see some interesting shoes l stop and take a picture, after asking if it is okay…

people seem to feel special and always say yes…

here’s what I’ve come up with so far…

when my oldest was a pre-teen, she went through a stage where she always wore two different coloured runners… lasted for a few years and still now, if I spot someone with two different shoes on it reminds me of those days…

on my Facebook page I often put up pictures of my feet as I am relaxing by the pond… it has become a bit of a ritual to do foot pictures in various places now… getting pedicures, waiting for appointments, on vacation…

this one from March is of my son-in-law and I in Mazatlan as we were waiting for a strike on the fishing lines, which never did happen…

took this one yesterday as I was drinking tea and waiting for my hair to dry…

big girl pants, dry, feet, hot stone, hot tub, paraffin, pedicure, purple, widow

on Saturday I decided it was time for a pedicure… hadn’t had one since the September long weekend while I was visiting my daughter in Ottawa…

called and was able to get in… went on my own…

got a picture beforehand…

those pink slippers were kind of bright… decided on the pedicure with hot stone massage and paraffin…

was the very best paraffin portion I have ever had… Victoria did a great job of getting the wax all the way around my feet…

chose purple glittery polish…

came out very nice, although for the second time in a row it has taken a crazy amount of time to dry completely…

because my toes took so long to dry I decided not to have a hot tub that night…

next day when I went out for a hot tub had to wear water shoes and a toque as it is cooling off out there…

trip…

started the day off reading the lovely Secret Adventures of Tiny Toba… it is about finding and sharing gratitude as the authors took a motorcycle trip to the East Coast… I think my boys are going to love it…

  
then I spent some time gathering items and packing for our trip to New York, leaving a week today…

 

treated myself to a pedicure with paraffin and hot rock massage… want those feet to be pretty and ready for all the walking we have planned…

  
hard to tell, but those are purple nails, not pink…

easy to call, book the appointment and go… didn’t even consider calling around to see if I could find someone to go with me…

big girl pants are fitting pretty good today, lol…

surprise…

antibiotic, aquasize, big girl pants, feet, medication, pharmacist, reaction, sandals, snow, sun, surprises, widow

couple of surprises over the last few days…

last night as we were getting ready for aquasize, I noticed that my feet were red and warm… at first I wondered if it was something from the spa… or maybe from my sandals…

they were still red this afternoon so I contacted the pharmacist to see if it was something to do with new antibiotic I am taking to help with an outbreak of blepharitis…

 
because my body responds so poorly to any type of medication I was worried that I was having a strange reaction… Grant reviewed the side effects and thought it was a sensitivity to the sun… I had spent some time on the deck on Monday so that was certainly a possibility… when I got home I changed into some leggings which matched the marks on my ankles exactly… happily I think that confirms his idea… for the next month I will have to be very careful when out in the sun…

as I drove home from work it was spitting and I took this picture when I got into the house just before five… can’t believe that nearly all the snow is gone…

  
I had a lovely nap and woke up to this just before eight…

  
not such nice surprises, lol…

maybe I won’t be wearing my sandals to work in the morning…

feet…

big girl pants, boots, dinner, ECCO, feet, sandals, veggies

stopped in at the grocery store on my way home…

really just wanted to get home and have a nap, but I was out of fresh veggies so took the time to pick some up… 

once home I put some chicken and squash in the oven and cooked some asparagus…

 

dinner was yummy and I ended it with a single piece of Lindt White Chocolate with Coconut flakes… can’t get that bar very often…

on Monday I went looking for new boots as the ones I’ve been wearing have been hurting my feet… got boots and a new pair of my favourite ECCO sandals as well…

   

happy because they were all still on sale…

the boots look good and are very comfortable… particularly like the fact that they have two zippers which make them easy to get in and out of…

I wear the sandals all through the winter because they are so comfortable… before I found this brand my feet hurt all the time… now they are happy…
