well, last night, when I went out for a hot tub, I put on my water shoes and toque…

the toque always reminds me of my beloved;-)…

when I’d gone out the night before and climbed up the steps in my bare feet, they were cold;-(…

and so it begins…

I was feeling bad about needing them already, but when I looked at previous times I’d started wearing them it had been towards the end of October, so I guess I shouldn’t be complaining…

eventually…

out and about today!

well, I went to Canadian Tire and Subway, lol…

my grandson picked me up and once we were in the store we asked for help finding the water shoes I was looking for… the young man we dealt with didn’t seem to be having a good day… he appeared a bit unfriendly, but eventually did produce the shoes…

then, in another section of the store, the woman helping us was very knowledgeable and friendly and found what I needed quickly;-)…

and the cashier was pleasant, so all in all a good experience… and the store wasn’t crazy busy…

at the sandwich store, the young woman we dealt with was very helpful even though we caused her some confusion with our order, but she figured it out…

we enjoyed our subs when we got home…

a couple of jobs around the house and off he went;-)… then I had a nap😂…

flew…

last night, as I was putting on my water shoes to go out to the hot tub, I spent a few moments thinking of when I wore them in Hawaii…

I have two pair… the others are in perfect shape, but don’t fit as well or feel as comfortable on my feet… even though these ones have holes in the toes, they were the ones that flew to Hawaii…

when I put them on here, it is to protect my feet from the cold and snow… it was my son-in-law who suggested I wear them rather than slippers which could get filled with snow, or might not be in the right spot when I get out of the tub… they work perfectly and I wear them right into the tub and back to the house…

on Maui I wore them to keep sand off my feet and to keep from being burned on the boiling hot sand…

from minus 20 to plus 20 and back…

toque…

enjoyed some time in the hot tub this morning…

although, having a hot tub Saturday evening and Sunday morning doesn’t work that well because my water shoes don’t have time to dry completely… they are rather cold and soggy, lol…

watched chickadees and nuthatches come and go to the feeder and have snacks…

a bit later in the day I watched more chickadees and nuthatches in the front yard…

such fun to get to enjoy the moments with the critters all around…

footwear…

big girl pants, footwear, pain, sandals, water shoes

actually made it to aquasize tonight…

went pretty well… got through the class and moved the whole time…

  
wore these old water shoes… they used to be a bit on the small side but now they fit perfectly…

was talking with someone about wearing sandals all the time and the reason I do that… they also have problem feet although their shoes are fancier than mine…

  
used to struggle with pain in my feet all the time but once I started wearing this brand of sandals the pain evaporated…

so I wear them all the time…

headache…

big girl pants, headache, hot tub, moon, water shoes

woke up with a bad headache… my arm was very sore, as were my feet and back…

went out for a hot tub, wearing my water shoes and that worked very well, particularly as it was snowing like crazy and my slippers would have filled up with snow… wore a toque and a baseball hat to keep warm and not have snow in my eyes…

then went back into the house and slept for another few hours… still had the headache, but it had eased somewhat…

basically have done nothing all day, and my head is finally feeling better… feet are okay and my arm has improved as well…

going back to bed and looking forward to a good day tomorrow…

as I went upstairs just before dark the moon was gazing down at me so I went and got the camera and tripod and took a few pictures…

moon over the trees...

moon over the trees…
