sleeping without the fishes

I knew it was a mistake when I did it, but I tried to break in my new shoes on the flights home. Now I have blisters on the backs of my ankles. Argh. I'll skip wearing the shoes today and hope I can toughen up in time for the trip. Otherwise, it's back to the old shoes...

The Sealabration is today, but I couldn't make myself get up in time to go into town with DH. Now I feel guilty, but at the time, I just covered my head with my pillow. I think I slept 11 hours. The mental exhaustion factor.
