Weekend wrapup

[giza]

This past weekend was pretty quiet. Being too injured/sore to drive 5 hours to Confluence, I instead took Amtrak down to davinwarter's place on Friday night, and spent the weekend there.

I did very little of my usual online stuff over the weekend, but instead spent most of it sleeping, socializing with Davin (who I haven't seen outside of a con in years), or having a few drinks. In the process, I've learned that my relative lack of consumption has turned me into a relative lightweight. How lightweight? Well, I spent more on food than booze this past weekend. That's probably a good thing for my liver.

On Saturday night, a bunch of us (Davin, November, ryvex, Dusk Dargent, Syme Lion, and others) went to Dog Fish Alehouse in Maryland for dinner and drinks. Many inappropriate jokes were cracked at the table by myself and others.

I got back home earlier tonight, and discovered that there was a bunch of activity on the PA-Furry website for the 2 days that I was out of town. Figures. :-)

I noticed that with my feet, it's not so much distance walked as it seems to be just wearing shoes is enough to press on my feet and aggravate my symptoms. That's not fun, but the more than I keep my shoes off (such as in the train), the less pain I have to deal with.

What kind of shoes do you normally wear?

New Balance walking shoes. Been wearing them since 2003 by the recommendation of my past pawdiatrist. The new pawdiatrist liked 'em too. :-)

I wear leather sandals for my day-to-day wear.
That solved a problem I'd been having with pernicious athletes foot that I had since I was in my teens.

Only down side so far is the lack of places that make them with really good arch support.

I've seen quite a few people around here wearing the Five Fingers Shoes (http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/indexNA.cfm) which are really peculiar looking. They do also make you look like you've got pawpads underneath too.

I have no idea if those are a good idea or not, or even if you'd find them comfortable. ask the pawdiatrist!

I saw some of those shoes? at Anthrocon. Wish I could remember who had them on.
