There's Nothing Like A Pedicure

[wlotus]

Due to a bunion, calluses, and an extra 25 or so pounds--I'm working on the extra weight--my feet are a sore spot for me. They tire easily, especially my bunion-inflicted left foot. If you are a trusted friend, a sure way to reduce me to a pile of mush is to give me a thorough foot massage. Part of the reason I tend to kick off my shoes at nearly every opportunity is because I am constantly running my arches over any firm thing I can find. I don't think my feet could ever get enough of massage.

Which is why I have had my feet in the vibrating, heated Dr. Scholl's Foot Bath for the past two hours. I've filed off months of dead skin; the new skin is tender and slightly sore from the pressure the calluses were putting on it. I feel like a reborn baby, and I am far more relaxed than I've been in a very long time. I'll need to do this more often.

In other news, tonight I am grateful for good friends and trustworthy family. Amen.

I love pedicures. I have baaaad feet. Flat feet with no arch support. My feet are perpetually sore. In fact, I can't recall a time when I haven't had sore feet. I wake up in the morning and the first thing I do is limp to the bathroom because my feet are so sore. It's kind of ridiculous.

My feet aren't flat, but in recent weeks my left foot has been especially stiff and sore. I think it is a combination of the extra weight I am carrying--I feel like I suddenly blew up about a week ago!!!--and the heavy calluses changing the way I walk. With the calluses gone, my foot feels much better. The weight will take longer to solve, but I am working on it a step at a time.

My feet are supersensitive. When my feet were soaking for the pedicure, I fell asleep. Then, when the guy began massaging my feet, they were so ticklish and jittery that the guy said, "Don't kick me"
