It means counselling.
Someone to talk it through with with absolutely no judgements.

Probably just post-holiday malaise given you were so free of responsibility and worries.
But don't swallow it down if you are having a hard time.
I know these things can take months to move (don't I just?) but if you can find a charity and/ or pay for just one session even letting it out might help.

Much, much love.

Talking things through with someone objective is probably a good idea.
I hope you can get things sorted, Ali. Sending hugs.

Just taken on some overtime.
Even though my shift today - samw time but Thursday not Friday - was frantic.
Got a financial hole to dig out of (surprise!) but at least I'm not drinking.

Tomorrow supposed to be off.
Working instead 09.30-13.30. Sounds nothing, but weekly lunchtime is busiest.
Still, hand over from the lovely Tink, and she's a hard and thorough worker.
Then hand over for Pig-Face (the nickname of a boy in a book who has the same Christian name.) I'm not overly fond of him though. Adds 15-30 minutes to set-up.

Expect I'll be asked to do 6 or so hours Saturday.
Short shifts, but pressurised if you take them seriously regarding customer service.
And seven days a week, with up to five starting at 06.30.

Sorry.
Writing this sounds all "woe is me".
It just feels like it right now so I may as well whinge until I get used to it.

Good news:
My lovely red shoes feel great in the house now. I just need to walk down the street til I bleed (I'll take flip-flopsor the way back) and then work on scabbing over.

Silver boots still tricky.

I'll never understand why you would wear uncomfortable shoes.

I've mistakenly bought uncomfortable shoes before and then just didn't wear them ever.

They're trying to impress other chicks, because we don't give a rat's ass about their shoes.

Heals make your legs look nicer. They thin the ankle area and engage the calves thus making legs appear more shapely.

xoxoxoBruce · 10-03-2013, 06:39 PM

Barefoot is closer to naked, therefore more desirable.

Aliantha · 10-03-2013, 06:41 PM

Haha....but you cant do that in a bar or respectable company.

Aliantha · 10-04-2013, 02:51 AM

Went to the doc today. I have pneumonia. No wonder i cant breath.

Chest xray next week if steroids and antibiotics dont help over the weekend.

DanaC · 10-04-2013, 03:08 AM

No wonder you're feeling low as well.

get well soon m'dear.

DanaC · 10-04-2013, 03:11 AM

I meanwyhile have some kind of flu type thing knocking at my door. I'm not into the worst of it, hopefully that will hold off til tonight and I have the weekend to recover, but I feel rank. Sore throat, congested airways, aching muscles, alternating between impossibly blocked nose and a running tap, and occasional explosive sneezes.

And today I teach a new class. Fucking marvellous.

Aliantha · 10-04-2013, 03:21 AM

No sore thoat here. Just congested chest and of course lungs. In a way its more bearable than a normal cold cause its only a problem if i need to use my lungs at more than about 30%. Anyway, i will survive. I suspect you will too Dana. Its just annoying when theres stuff to do.

Griff · 10-04-2013, 05:52 AM

Everybody is sick at my house. Pete is recovering from shoulder surgery and picked up whatever virus it is as well. Shorties are sick at school.

Sundae · 10-07-2013, 01:59 PM

Took the red shoes out for a walk.
Only to the local shop and back, but it was their first outing and we had no mishaps.

Wearing the silver boots right now.
Still have issue across the toes. And the fact I can't zip the left one up completely. And the pain in the balls - see, I can relate! Oh and slight balance issues.

So nothing that can't be worked on.
Let's put it this way, I can master the red shoes to the extent that I can wear them as if they are normal, as long as I do it regularly. The silver boots boots will always require a taxi, sobriety (good) and level flooring. But they may still be able to be trotted out with only a week's practice once mastered.

So you adapt your body and lifestyle to accommodate your shoes.
