In grocery store and thinking my shoes feel kind of bouncy. More as I’m walking. Looked down and there’s a trail of black rubber in the aisle. My rubber sole was disintegrating as I walked. They were thick heels on very nice leather shoes. But I’ve had them thinking back probably 20 years! Haven’t worn them much since I wear mostly casual now Anyway the other started disintegrating too so at least I wasn’t lurching too much down the aisle. The trail of various size black rubber bits was quite impressive! Got home and told Jerseyguy . He said why don’t you get new soles? Nope. Think it’s a sign to throw them out !

My blinds for the windows came way early, I wish we were ready to put them up. But we have 4 windows out of 9 ready so at least that's good.

I am having a f'ing hot flash. It's like the first one today.
And also, I have to be less extra at work. Folks were used to me being me at my old job. I have to tone it down a little bit.

Wow, some guy in the little town we are from of 200 people just had a murder 20 minutes ago. A guy demanded a divorce from his wife and then shot her. They have the house surrounded. I called hubs, he hadn't heard it on the news. I told him likely from a police scanner and be careful answering the door. We don't have much happen there. Why would he shoot her? You can always get a divorce.

The damn redbud tree stump I have been working on digging out for what seems like forever, finally came out tonight. I know it's a school night, but I am going to celebrate with an adult beverage.

I had something similar happen to me 5 or so years ago! My son got a kick out of telling people he couldn’t take me out in public anymore! My designated happened on sidewalk headed into church for funeral service. Not rubber sole but the bottom of stack heels. Both shoes at same time. I just kicked debris off and kept on walking The person we were honoring would have gotten a kick out of my dilemma. He had a wicked sense of humor and was EX family. He referred to me as “the outlaw instead inlaw”. Good soul.

I can only control what I can control. I need to keep repeating that.
Which is not a hell of a lot.
God it's been a hell of a couple weeks.
