I have brand new shoes. I also have a brand new blister on the little toe on my left foot. Bloody painful. I have developed a Gregory House style limp. It suits me.

Jennifer is not sympathetic. She told me that I should have worn the shoes in before I started using them. I told her that I did wear them in. I wore the shoes for at least.... oooh... 2 hours on Sunday night, while I lay on the settee watching "8 1/2 Women". I even walked to the kitchen and back in them.

My own fault then. Of course.
