I posted the link to The Chipmunk Adventure not too long ago both on Facebook and Twitter for one reason! To show the moment when Simon and Alvin are taken captive after trying to find Theodore who was stolen in the night to be the, “ Prince of Plenty.” They tried to bargain with them with their clothes and their, “Nice Shoesees”:!
That is the scene where Alvin is trying to bribe them to give Theodore back and he offers them clothes and, “Nice Shoesees.”
I will put the link here as well just because I think I will have to watch this movie again but there is a reason as to why the whole, “Nice Shoesees’” thing came up!:
So, I posted not too long ago that I got new shoes:
I remember that I crabbed about how expensive they were compared to how much they used to be and I thought that was that. The outsides of both feet began to ache a little bit and I couldn’t understand it because I’ve been wearing the same size shoes since middle school! I hadn’t had a new pair of shoes for a while, since before the shut down!
Well, my Mom washed my feet on holy Saturday and made an appointment for me early Monday morning so I went to see the dermatologist on Tuesday. My feet have been pronating for a while:
I hadn’t realized how much more pronounced it had become with me by not working out at Barwis because they stretched my feet out to prevent that but the other day, as my Mom was tending to my feet, I saw this and it startled me:
She is just holding my foot up and it is bending that way naturally and trying to find a pair of shoes to combat then is extremely difficult! We went to Total Runner in Southgate because their shoes support feet better. I remember buying running shoes for Sean and the coach telling us that the colors are not important, it’s the fit! I knew that going in and they told us to bring in my old shoes and we will see what’s going on.
I showed up there with no shoes on and just my feet elevated on a pillow because they were hurting so badly! I thought of The Chipmunk Adventure because seeing the salesman holding my shoes looked exactly like Alvin holding up his shoes! I had to laugh about that! That’s a movie I saw over 1 million times in my childhood!
So, he assessed my shelltoes and he said that the toebox was too small and fit me with some different shoes. He had three options. Knowing that color was not going to be important I just brace myself for all of the color options. The first one was a light blue which I didn’t like. The second one was black and navy which I didn’t like that much either. But the third option was MY option! I just took this picture of these shoes a few days ago and well after a month of having them and they are not worn at all meaning they don’t get worn outside on the sidewalk:
I have to leave my house tomorrow for bloodwork and another doctor appointment and I wonder if I am going to need to recover from that as well! I’m not even done recovering from the last outing yet!!!
As for the shoes, because of the problems I have been having with my feet, I only wear them upon transfer to my bed and to the bathroom. Otherwise, I am barefoot which is striking because that doctor who asked me so many months ago, “Why do you wear shoes?!” Now, the answer is, ‘just barely’ but at least they are purple!!!
