You may take the high road, but Fiorella will take the low road from now on. Yes, she's donating every last high-heeled shoe in her closet (even the red ones, sigh) to The Caring Place for some young chick to enjoy while she grounds herself with flats.

Fio's hairdresser has moved to Washington State, which is too far a drive for Fiorella. It's not just the hair care Fio misses, but the company.
*
Fio wants a tummy tuck. Yeah, three kids with an average birth-weight of ten pounds will do it to you. Then there's that seventy pounds of avoirdupois she gained and managed to shed a while back.

More and more, the only part of the newspaper that makes sense to Fio is the comic strips.

Invisable Woman
Remember that scene in Pretty Woman when Vivian goes shopping in the posh boutique with a wad of cash in her hand, but no one will wait on her?
Well, Fio had her own Julia Roberts moment, but in a shoe store called Karavel. And while she may not have had cash in her hand, Fiorella did have a hefty credit card in her purse, and a determination to buy shoes in her brain.
Fio wants new shoes. She needs new shoes.
But it was like she was invisible. There were four employees in the store. Two of them were taking care of customers, one was behind the register, and one was putting shoes in the racks. Not one of them greeted or even looked at your faithful correspondent. Fiorella walked the entire store, looking at shoes, without being acknowledged in the least.
Where is Richard Gere when you need him!

Getting Personal
After checking out the price tags on clothes, Fiorella realized she'd be walking around naked if the US cut off trade with China.

Fio shares a damning trait with her mother--good intentions. Just like her, Fio often walks into situations that she should have sat out.
*
Fio needs new house shoes--and just when she has the old ones trained.
*
Fio is always singing in her head, even if her throat is dry.
*
Fio is the keeper of secrets--secrets other people have told her, and secrets of her own.

Sonya's Chewy Snack
Where, oh where, has my other shoe gone?
Not the one she's been chewing on--
Now without the inner sole
That Fio bought from Dr. Scholl--
But the other one, its lifelong mate,
Which Fio fears met a much worse fate.

Shoe Alert
There's hope. Fio's INR is 2.0, she is sleeping better, walked up and down the stairs twice yesterday, has started using the cane some, and, for supper, went out to Chili's with Husband. Now for the bad news: Fio's comfy black shoes with the velcro closures got lost somewhere between the hospital and home.
Please be on the lookout.
