tanaiseIt's all slushy here and I couldn't wear my boots and a car sideswiped a puddle all over my coat and pant legs.
I was thinking that really, I need to set up rules for myself re:Twitter, and then follow them. I'm not sure they'll always be the same rule, mind you, or I may have a number of overlapping/mildly contradictory rules, but I want it to be fun and silly, and not detailed updates on the minutia of my life. Except those parts that are fun and silly, of course. I was thinking today that it could be only things that could be followed by "Best Day Ever" or "Worst Day Ever" (such as the above with the woe and the splashing and all), but then it gets more complicated because if I do a Worst Day Ever, I would have to follow it up, as does the yellowdog, with a Best Day Ever as well, and that's a lot of pressure. So I'm still working on the rules. The standard one I do use is if it's something silly that I text message to a friend, I usually also send it there.
I need to buy things. Which is okay because I currently have the money to be buying things, so, you know, why not! except I have to buy pants--and I hate buying pants, particularly since the Gap on Newbury is closed down, so I will have to go to the gap in Harvard Square. And I have to buy shoes which are the only things I hate buying more than buying pants. (though, really, that's isn't quite right. I love buying shoes. I would buy shoes ALL THE TIME if I were rich, and thus it wouldn't matter if I bought the wrong shoes now and then. but I am not, and my feet are cranky, and so I will need to go and try on endless pairs of shoes only to buy something on impulse and either a) discover immediately that it makes my feet/knees/hips/ankle/Achilles tendon hurt or b) discover after several months that it makes my feet/knees/hips/ankle/Achilles tendon hurt, whereupon I will either a) stop wearing it at all, b) stop wearing it as much or c) want to stop wearing it, but have no other shoes that hurt any less in the basket o'shoes in my bedroom. I am at point C at the moment. I have jeep pumps that make my toes ache (the curve of the toe of the shoe is right in front of the big toe joint, which hurts if I wear them too often) and are not particularly good for my knees either. Totally worth it for one-two days a week, non-sequential, which doesn't even result in pain usually, but not *really* winter shoes. I have boots which last time I wore them took off a band of skin around both calves from the rubbing. Not overly annoying except when showering, but still, nothing I want to repeat today, so they're grounded while I finish healing. I have the sneakers that hate my heel and are somehow aggravating whatever tendon issue I have. And I have lots of sandals of varying degrees of success. And that's great and I look forward to wearing them, but at the moment, I have three pairs of shoes and I hate them all. And, while I found some shoes that look promising, I have to walk over there. And I am feeling against the idea of walking right now.
At least my pants I can look up on the internet tonight and buy new pairs of. The sneakers I want to try are a new-to-me company, and thus I don't dare guess they'll fit and buy over the internet.
I think I'll go make some tea so I stop falling asleep over the keyboard.
