trying to be sensible

I have been doing a lot of hand sewing this week.  Not very exciting when it comes to pictures.  It is for a new to me dress so there will be pictures when it is done but I am doing and embroidery stitch for the hems.  It takes time.  It has been a good place to let thoughts come and go.  And talk people down from emotional highs and lows.  

I have never helped with funeral arrangements before.  This has been interesting.  I have come to a place in my life where I try very had not to create drama or deal with drama in my life.  Having a significant person die alone creates drama for many people.  I feel like every one should do there best in this situation.  Sometimes your best is just letting go.  Because this involves the ice skating community, not going to happen.  Emotionally, I am tired.

I have been having problems walking this week.  The heel bruise I have became much more painful when I had to wear more dress like shoes.  It had been suggested to me that I could try a new pair of shoes with more padding.  It is where I spent my morning.  Trying on shoes.  Everything I put on my feet felt better then what I was wearing.  I

had a few conversations while I was shopping.  The outdoor store I went to had people working there who have actually used a lot of products.  I got into conversations about how far I walk, about how far I have walked since June.  I realized I should have probably replaced these shoes last June.  I just hope there is healing that goes on now.  I did do the sensible thing and bought more then one pair so I can rotate.  I have about a week before I know I have to wear a more dressy shoe.  I am pushing for healing.
