First of all, I woke up with a sore throat. Felt like it could have been strep. If you know me, I jump on these moments with every type of health remedy imaginable. Because I really TRY not to DO SICK. And honestly, it’s worked for well over 20 years ever since I started using essential oils, but that’’s a whole new blog!
I grab my oregano oil and make a couple of gel capsules with coconut oil, down those suckers, and gargle with some very warm himalayan pink salt water and went back to bed. Had to cancel my inner healing session and forgo Bible Study, which by the way, I do NOT like to miss. But duty called and I have to take care of myself FIRST. “First thing’s first!”.
I slept a few hours and remembered I had an order to get out that was already late, plus I had a sympathy card and birthday card I had designed that needed to be addressed in calligraphy to get in the mail. Then I remembered I had a top I had to return to Amazon to an area department store that is a drop off center. Not too strenuous when recovering…so I got those four things ready, ran upstairs to grab a pair of shoes to go with my brand spanking new orange casual palazzo’s and matching feather top. I reached for a pair of sandals that have pizzazz and matched perfectly and headed out to the car with everything in hand.
I had just pulled into the Kohls parking lot, package in hand and stepped out of the car when I noticed my right shoe was flopping. I looked down and could clearly see the insole leather had obviously broken free from the insole. Okay, having dealt with this before with my favorite silver sandals that I over wore, I knew I could manage to hobble discreetly into the store and no one would be any wiser! However, the drop off center was clear in the back of the store so it wasn’t a short little jaunt. I grab a cart and toss my purse and package into the front end and I get about half way back to the drop off station, and low and behold, the left shoe does the same exact same thing. Now I have both shoes to flop around in! Are you kidding me? I started shuffling like a little Chinese lady behind my cart, in a sort of “slipping and sliding” fashion.
Seriously now, I could have believed one shoe breaking but TWO? I stood there thinking, I’d love to just take these suckers off and walk barefoot to the drop off center. Certainly would be easier, but then it hit me: “No shirt—NO SHOES—No service!” Bummer dude! I managed to pull this whole thing off with not one person having a clue!
Now on the way back knowing I had to stop at our Hallmark store that has a Post Office to mail my package and two letters, I debated on going five minutes up the road to switch out my shoes, and decided, what the heck?! I pulled its off in Kohls with scads of people and Hallmark isn’t near as busy so I’m not wasting my time!
I pulled in the parking lot and shuffled on in package and letters in hand and was a cool as ice. No one noticed a thing.
But seriously now, does this type of craziness happen to you? I would LOVE to hear your crazy-over-the-top-can’t-believe-this-just-happened-to-me story below! Make this girl feel good, would you PLEASE?!!!
