I bought some shoes. While you smile and nod and remark "That's p petty, bort," let me asplain.
I bought some shoes at the store. The last time I remember doing that was... well, many years ago. To contextualize this, it was in a time when I was prolly at my heaviest. It was mildly traumatic to be honest. I remember not being able to sit in the chair and comfortably reach my feet well enough to tie the shoes I was trying to purchase. Embarassingly enough, the store clerkman felt compelled to tie the shoes for me.
So, for many years I either bought some form of slip on or shopped via the onlines.
It wasn't really until recently - say, the last couple of months - that I realized I was stooping down a lot easier. No wheezing or doing some kind of breathing/holding excersize to psych myself to crouch down. It really hit home last week or the week before when I squatted down on my haunches (not quite sitting on my ankles, but only because that's uncomfortable on me joints) doing some work thing or other.
So. I boughten some nice new regular big boy lacing sneakers today. Though I shopped at one of those mostly self-serve style stores.
