I did go to the Skechers Outlet yesterday, and they had the shoes I've been eying online. The price was the same, with the added advantage that I got to try them on and there was no shipping cost. I paid $44, and I'm happy to have them. They are so comfortable!
I also got my haircut -- $17 even with the coupon! Price is going up. And while I was waiting for the outlet to open, I got a muffin at Corner Bakery for $2.
Once home, I did a load of laundry for $1.50.
My variables are up to 50%. But I think I have done most of my purchasing. I have a trip to BFF's coming up, as well as dinner in the city with friends, and an outing to the botanical gardens. And I imagine I will have to pay more medical bills.
I realized last night that I will have to pay my assessment fee twice this cycle. I already paid it, but it will come due again the day before I get paid again. Bummer. It will have to come out of savings, as the budget doesn't allow for a double dip.
I cancelled the rest of my physical therapy. I won't do any exercise until I see the doctor on September 6 and get the green light.
I have to report for jury duty on September 5. If I get chosen, and if the trial lasts more than one day, that will throw a wrench into some of my plans, but I guess the bright spot is that I would get paid a little. The worst part is figuring out how to get there (it's in the city) and where to park. I've tried to figure out mass transit, but it's too complicated -- two trains and a bus. Too many opportunities to screw up and be late.
New Shoes!

For walking and working out, I wear Merrells or Saucony's with orthotics inserted.

Plantar fasciitis is so tricky to deal with. There are specially trained Podiatrists who evaluate the biomechanics of feet and custom make or work with technicians who make the orthotic insoles that supports your feet. They are expensive and require organization so that you are removing existing insoles and transferring the custom inserts shoe, to shoe to shoe.
If your physician has identified your exact foot issue and submitted the bill to medical insurance in hope they would reimburse something. I was shocked to get a cheque for the full amount in about 6 weeks.

CB, great job on the shoe price! Sore feet are one of the biggest miseries in life!
