RantWoman Sleeps--or Not

I have been about to give up on mail order shoes but somehow X wide with velcro on both sides of foot makes it all manageable. Cross fingers for end of day update. Love love love this style Now how will feet do by end of day?  5:32 hours of sleep. Tuna and celery salad and iced tea for breakfast.
