To buy shoes or not buy shoes, that is the question!

Mama and I went to Mountain Chalet to order the ballet looking Vibrams. I always thought I was a fantastic sales lady because I think I might have been a great salesperson when I worked at The Buckle my junior year of high school.
I knew that deep down inside I was convinced to keep the Vibrams that that I'd been trying not to wear on on the pavement so they were still eligible to be returned, but when I had another person (my mom) tell me I should not return them I almost cried...lol.
For several days I had been only wearing them inside buildings and when I was able to wear them to work on Fridays, I would walk into work wearing them under my Crocs to prevent wearing them on the pavement. I was doing everything possible to make sure they were still returnable. Then the day finally came, I had a ride to Mountain Chalet and I was going to return the pair I'd been trying out and order a more professional pair.
I sat down and began talking to Cathy, my Vibram expert at Mountain Chalet. She knew that my plan was to return the Vibrams I had been trying out before I ordered the fancier Vibrams. This was something she had suggested because of the return policy. The fancier Vibrams have a very thin sole so she let me try out a pair that has a similar sole before placing my order.
When I explained the shoes to my mother and told her the exciting benefits, I'm not sure she was sold on the idea. However, today when Kathy was explaining all the benefits and I shared how my foot was already changing… I was convinced to keep the pair I had been trying out even though I had been bending over backwards make sure that they were still returnable, and order the other pair.
The fantastic saleswoman award I thought I had goes to Cathy. And I'm super excited to realize that my conscience is kicking back in. Along the same line, the calmness of my right arm is also kicking back in. I've spent so many years dealing with uncontrollable shaking my right arm that I forget to use it. It might take a little bit longer to complete tasks using my right arm but it is a lot more calm.
I'm not too sure that is very coherent but proofreading things on a cell phone is difficult. This might be but I'm not making any promises. I hope you had an amazing weekend and that this week is the absolute best week yet!
