SORE!!!

Yesterday I wore my crappy Longs brand no arch support slippers to school and I freakin' paid the price. I think my pain tolerance is pretty good, after all, my childhood dentist fixed all my cavities without numbing my mouth ever, but yesterday was unbearable. My back and butt were super sore by the end of the day...came home and sat around (I actually have to sit at the table now and put my legs up instead of on the floor at my Japanese table), but it didn't help. I took a warm shower to try to ease the pain, but as I lie in bed, every little movement hurt like heck. After about an hour I tried to get out of bed to go use the bathroom...and I freakin' couldn't stand, let alone walk. I actually fell down...and it was too sore to stand myself up. I crawled to the bathroom (Dave wasn't home...freakin' on his dang boyscapade) and pulled myself up on the door frame, used the bathroom, then balanced myself on the counter until the pain started to get bearable. I went back to bed, and when Dave came home he helped me up again and I walked around. I was scared I would wake up this morning not able to walk, but though there was still pain, it was better.

So today I wore shoes, which was better, but my feet still hurt like heck and I swear shoes make me waddle even more. We went to Ala's to try to buy some Crocs, but of course they don't have the size I wear except in fluorescent pink. So we headed to Macy's and even though I fully don't believe in buying shoes (besides athletic shoes) that cost more than $20, I bought non-sale Calisto slide on wedges. I'll pay for the price of comfort after what happened last night.

Mine was mainly if I sat too long. It hurts though, so I know. It's that ache. Blech.
