Yesterday the weather was nice, so at noon I walked to a shopping center (about a 20-minute walk) and I bought (ironically) walking shoes.
They were $70. A little bit of a sale, not much; more of a teaser sale. But the key thing is they are comfortable. New Balance -- the first time I have bought this brand.
I bought a half-size larger than my usual. Are my feet getting bigger? Anyway, I definitely needed the toe room. And now that I will be wearing sandals at work, I definitely needed some reliable walking shoes. My boots were good for the walk and the workday, but my sandals will NOT do for the walk.
In the late afternoon there were quite a few muffins left at work, so I snagged another one. That's two free breakfasts for me. I would never take two at the beginning of the day, but if they're still there at four o'clock, I don't feel guilty. Anyway, I know this crew around here well enough to assume the leftovers will get thrown out rather than used. (I just ate one -- it was delicious!)
Next Tuesday will bring another free breakfast -- a fabulous one -- when we have our Retirement/Recognition Breakfast. It is such a good breakfast buffet I look forward to it all year! It also marks my work anniversary, as attending it was my first "act" upon the joining the staff. So it will be four years here at the College. Two more to go! (And a few months)
My big accomplishment yesterday was to get signed onto my health provider's website. It looks like it will be pretty slick -- no more calling the doctor's office, it'll all be email. My "assignments" are: get lab work done, schedule a Cat scan, find out when I last got a DTP shot (also find out if insurance will cover it), get a shingles shot. Oooh, lots of needles.

My mother had shingles and said it was the worst thing she ever experienced.
