Lucky you!

You get two posts in one day!
So, I hit 7 months yesterday (Sunday) - and with that came the first of what I'm sure will be plenty of the 3rd trimester lovelies. Swelling!
My hands have been swollen, not bad, and I don't take off my wedding ring ever...well, now I don't know that it would come off even if I wanted it to! It doesn't seem to be cutting off circulation yet so I'm not going to worry about it, but it keeps getting buried further and further into the finger swell lumpy finger syndrome I seem to be acquiring.
My shoes felt a little bit tight this morning, oh well I thought, I sit all day anyway. Oh well was wrong - oh no is more like it! I sit all day, that means all the blood rushes to my feet and sits there. My feet hurt after lunch so I took my shoes off. Bad idea! I can't get them back on - well, I could, but I didn't want to make them hurt even more. Luckily I have a "spare" set of flip flops at my desk so now I am doning the latest HR no-no fashion trend - beach sandals at work! In passing, my boss (who has an excellent sense of humor forutunately) passed by and cared not to object when I said "ya know, I can't wear flip flops in the winter time - I'm just going to wear my tennis shoes if I have to..." half way joking. I may move myself to a meeting room or vacant office cube where I can put my feet up. If I had 2 foot long legs, I could do that here, but even sitting normally, my feet touch the adjoining wall to the next workstation!
So - on to shopping for a new pair or two of shoes, but I'll be damned if I have to buy all new ugly clothes AND shoes!
Moral for the afternoon: they don't make cute work shoes in "practical".
