The culprits
Yesterday I had a particularly busy day. Apart from the usual morning home activities, with kids and ALL the pets, I had to get ready to go out for an appointment which I thought was only going to take up about two hours of my day but instead ended up going on for almost five hours!! Worst yet, I have been lamenting the fact that my closet is full of lovely heeled shoes. Shoes of various styles, colors and heights and they are all sitting there lined up in the “museum” part of my closet. I cannot wear these shoes any longer due to the pain they cause to my hips and ankles (Lupus)… Every now and then I dare to wear them but it must be for no longer than… say, two hours and I always carry a flat pair of shoes with me to change into.
Back to yesterday– I was lamenting the shoes- So I decided to grab a pair, dusted it off, NO I’m not kidding, and I went on my way. They looked so nice… an hour and a half later I wanted to throw them in the first garbage can I saw!! However I did not have my flats handy 
. I left these in my truck, this is LA, Parking was a couple of blocks out. It would be worse to go for the flats than to take the agony for what I figure could be no mere than another hour!! YEAH RIGHT… Swelling, cramping and numbing sensations by the time I made it home. Yes I know, it was MY fault… I will take comfort in knowing that I wore the heels for FIVE hours, which I have not done in I don’t remember how long and I think I am allowed to say ‘I looked good’, haha… 
I am guessing I need a larger purse to carry my flats in next time I dare wear anything with a heel. AFTER I (my body) heal from this little miss-hap; ouch…

Hello Maria,
Those are some pretty shoes!
Oh the pain of wearing some of those lovely heels, it can be frustrating eh? I’m a fan of the chunky heels, and have quite a few of those in my closet but you know most days I end up wearing flats soled shoes.

I hear you. I guess I just miss the days when I could wear whatever I wanted without the worry or wonder about what I would be doing an hour from the time I was getting dressed, because I could handle it, you know. (sounds petty) It’s not only the shoes. To me I guess they are a little piece of many things and so it makes me a little angrier than it should, lol.
