i literally doubled their total wear time today if you want to know what I mean by "basically brand new"

goddamn

blisters?

hOW

rosebriar: one very mild one but i did the prep (bandaids under my socks at the heels)

legerdemain: I'd say "I love to sit in panels" but then i realized I did in fact walk the middle third of the dealer's hall (the part with other cons and orgs) so

we will see if any additional blisters have developed by morning

also mind i am definitely SORE. but

why?

it was "the $30 bright pink doc flats," "the flipflops I take the trash out in" or my heavy winter boots, due to my usual shoes getting fully soaked walking six blocks to the bus home in the rain yesterday and not being dry yet this morning, so

ah I see

(yes I did that same walk in the docs. yes it was also raining. thanks Seattle.)
