OMG! The Prices!

Remember me asking, a few posts ago, if anyone had an Amope Pedi Perfect?  Today I found myself at Walmart to pick up a prescription and I checked on the price.  I almost had a heart attack.  No wonder they were offering a $15. off coupon for it.  The battery operated one (it comes with the four required) costs $40.  You can buy a rechargeable one for $60.  *Thud*

As much as I would love one, I just couldn't see paying that kind of money for it.  I have a problem with one heel and the area where my toe is missing.  I guess I will just use the foot files I have even though it takes AGES for me to get them down to a decent section of skin.  I DID buy myself some special lotion made for feet, however.  If I use it first and let it soak in, perhaps it will be easier when I file them.  I also get a thick callus on the underside of my big toe on the other foot and that gets painful.  It can't be helped, however, since I use that for my balance now that I only have the one big toe.  Funny how that works.  You never realize that much of your balance is dependent on your big toes.

I did a little shopping while I was there since we needed a few things for the dinners I am planning on over the next few days.  I also indulged myself by buying some Gulf shrimp (uncooked) that I will probably make for tomorrow.  It's been a while since the Beast and I had peel-and-eat shrimp.

The Beast didn't do any work on the tile in the kitchen.  His scrubber, the broom and several different supply items are just sitting around, taking up space.  He just *didn't feel like it* because he said he was in pain still from what he did yesterday.  I'm sure he is.  He's getting more fragile by the day, it seems.  He always seems to suffer for a few days after doing anything physical.  He won't take a pain pill, or even just aspirin.  It's a man thing, I think.

I have to admit that I only take a pain pill when I can't handle the pain.  I have a high tolerance for pain so I just ignore it when I can.  But if it gets really bad, then I will take a pain pill.  I just don't want to ever be dependent on those things.  The ones I have are very mild and because I don't take them all the time, it's why (as my doctor says) they work well for me.

Time to head for bed.  Love you all.  Be good.  Be kind.  ***Hugs***
