Jun. 8th, 2024 05:22 amSo, aside from my hiking shoes getting old and showing wear and tear, and one pair of my gym sneakers turning out to be too small for me, part of the reason we got a new pair of sneakers was because my right foot started to hurt a couple of weeks ago, to the point where I had to soak it in some bath salts a couple of times. Obviously, we chalked that up to sitting on my feet whenever I'm at my computer, which normally feels good when I've been walking around for a while (especially for so long at work) but had started to hurt my foot days earlier.
Yesterday, my foot started hurting again, despite a previous lack of opportunities to sit like that while everyone was here, leaving me to either other chairs or my or Marie's old bed. I had to soak it again, but then Dad brought me to work early, figuring he might as well fuel the pickup up while he remembers.

As long as I was half an hour early, I figured I might have something extra for breakfast, and ordered some homefries and a side of bacon at Bagel Boss. Not such a hot choice. The homefries weren't crispy like I expected (really, how come they're never anything like at Forest Hills Diner in Boston?), and I wasn't expecting so much bacon as I was given (more like two or three strips).
-----
Early on, while separating intact carts from jammed or damaged ones at the end corral where I was told to bring the latter, I asked these three girls walking down the edge of the parking lot if they'd like a cart (something I ask people in general when I'm returning some). They told me they were actually on their way to see some turtle that one of them had spotted (presumably, they might live in this condominium complex just across the street). I followed them just a short distance down the ramp connecting the premises to the expressway, hoping to take a picture to share, but they saw it was gone upon reaching the spot the original girl had spotted it originally. They did express relief that it wasn't run over, though.

Got another single after helping someone load two remaining gallons of water into his minivan.
-----
Finished Magical Girl Raising Project: Aces during my second short break.
-----
My foot never began to hurt from all that walking around, and I reported that to Marie at Mom's suggestion on our way home.
It did begin to just slightly after I came upstairs and took my shoes off, and Marie suggested I get a second pair to swap between every few days, but I have managed so far not to sit on my feet anymore. Should be able to keep that up until I really wanna focus more on my online activities than on how I sit, as had been the case just briefly early in 2018.
