Finally found an okay pair of walking shoes

It has been few months I have been searching for a good pair of walking shoes as my current pair of Reebok has given me enough miles. The pair of New Balance I purchased was a bit bulky and when I wore it, it was not comfortable and ached. Got 1/2 size bigger same thing and I had to return. 

As I have been searching all over, I saw this pair from Dr. Scroll's at Macy's caught my eye. I purchased two sizes, received the shoes, grey with egg plant purplish laces, beautiful. I tried it on, since there is no Wide option, the left pinky toe ached. I tried the 1/2 size bigger, it felt loose. 

The search saga had to be going. Then found another pair of the same brand in DSW, purchased it online and the shoes arrived. The reviews for this pair was slightly better than the one before. The previous pair and this both, felt comfortable when I tried it on. They are not super greatly made, but definitely better feel than New Balance. 

I tried it on few days to walk around the house every day to check the feel. Then, I felt the pinky toe pain on the left again but, not as bad as the first pair. On a Thursday, early morning I decided to wear it outside. It was slightly odd but, I gave it a benefit of doubt being a new pair. So, far its good. I love the color and shoes. It could use some more cushion on the heels though.

A beautiful Saturday with a heavy heart

One more Saturday today, supposed to be a beautiful day outside. I woke up around 7:30 am, went for a walk for almost 6 miles. I even talked to Punu for a long time, and came home. After a long walk, I needed some Green Tea and oatmeal cookies, which I deserved. 

I came online on my computer, did my regular thing and got fresh. I thought of dropping to Macy's to return the beautiful sneakers I had purchased. Unfortunately, those didn't work for me, one size was tight and another was too loose. It has been a while I went to the Mall wearing my high heels. 

 After returning the shoes, I was wandering around and that's when I saw Jessica Simpson's Pump on sale. It wasn't the price I wanted to pay but, still was a good price. I asked for the person to check the size for me but, it wasn't available in the store. So much excitement for nothing haha...

 

I'm still waiting for a good deal to come up someday on these. The Red pair and the Parisah color. That day when I found in Southdale, the price was so right except the size was a tad small. I still miss that.

Then it was time to come home as I didn't have a place to go anywhere else. I came home, what I saw bothered me.

So, far every Thursday this month has been my Friday

 It's very nice to take Friday's off which I have been doing this month. Guild conference started at 11AM CST, some where interesting.The first few were framework developers or who have been working in these Automation Test Frameworks such as Selenium, Cypress, Gherkin, Mocha chai, Applitools. Some others were discussed, I can't remember the names.

As I was attending one of the sessions, I saw an email popup. I have been waiting to hear a good news. I was hoping the email would say 'congratulations' instead it read 'unfortunately'. 

I was slightly disappointed but, it's for good is how I took it. So, far I have received emails with wording along this line. 'Although your skills and experience are impressive, we have decided to pursue other candidates at this time.' Even though, these are not the word you expect when you apply for an opening, this gave me an indication to me that, they read my qualifications. There is a lot of competition and I need to be better, word harder. 

My heart felt heavy but, I am sure, there is something better waiting for me. It's just a matter of time and that time is coming anytime.
