It turns out . . .

[swan_tower]

. . . that when my orthopedist tells me that for my own medical good I should embrace the Way of the Ankle Boot for the rest of my life, and I go on a thirteen-day trip in August, and then six days later I go on a five-day trip . . .

. . . then when I get home and take my boots off, choirs of angels burst into song.

If anybody needs me, I’ll be at home, not wearing boots.

Are we talking prescription moon boots,

or ordinary leather shoes with ankle support?

Man, as an occasionally Very Tired Person, do I appreciate the "sitting down and angels bursting into song" thing.

But. Like, do they have to have heels? (I've seen some without, is all.)

Ordinary shoes -- but since I work from home, I don't normally wear boots all day long, day after day.

These don't really have heels -- there's a slight lift at the back, but we're talking less than an inch. The issue is just having my feet enclosed and working all day long, for days on end.
