I know you go in streaks, sometimes you're white hot for quite a few months and sometimes you throttle way back. Just OOC is there a seasonal pattern?

The weather has gotten reliably better over the past couple weeks and, birthdays aside, the calendar cleared up. I offloaded the vehicle smog check, safety recall, and med pickup on hubby ... Yay! So I've been able to get to yardwork, finally! a couple of days a week. OMG there's so much to do and my energy... and my knees ... ain't what they used to be. But for some strange reason dear daughter finds yardwork satisfying so I can count on her help.

Speaking of which ... BRENDA, I know you don't do this anymore but - cooking ahead for a week? That's a lot of work! It seems you do special occasion cooking and baking and light gardening and housekeeping. And going up and down the stairs. That would tire me out completely!

Well, on to making some chili con carne.

I just do it because it is a little cheaper for me, especially things like meat. And it is only for 2 or 3 days. Like this weekend. Turkey day if I don't go over to my boss' for supper, I got some ground bison that I will cook up.
Most baking I do is for my boss really. I don't do any housework for my boss anymore but I still have to pick things out of her garden. And yeah the basement stairs in that house are nasty now.

Oh, by the time I walk home. My feet are just howling at me and I am so glad to get my shoes and socks off.

Hope your chili comes out good.

Do you try different shoes to see if it would help, Brenda?

I swear by the memory foam Sketchers myself. My aunt is willing to spend quite a bit more and says that New Balance shoes are the best.

Made a world of difference for me when I was on my feet all day. Day and night. I used to just buy whatever was cheap and wear them until the treads were gone.

For all that I've blessed, and all that I've wronged. In dreams until my death, I will wander on.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


My feet are really wide at the toe, narrow at the heel. Duck feet. We joked that I had my own flippers but finding shoes was always really hard. I had to go to stores that specialized in X-wide feet for work, and I bought men's New Balance X-wide for tennis and everyday Then somewhere along the way I developed a bunion, and then some kind of pain syndrome, and now after chemo I have permanent neuropathy. I wound up getting slippers, but after a couple of months of using them as shoes it was like walking on cardboard. After going thru a few pairs I finally bit the bullet and went hunting for shoes that would fit and maybe give my knees some relief. Ultimately I went to orthofeet.com, been wearing them for almost a week and I think its helping my feet, knees, and balance.

So I'd start with New Balance if your shoes aren't working for you, but if you have a more specific problem maybe check out Orthofeet.
