thursday january 29

today i walked down the sidewalk after a modest snowfall and realized that the only pair of shoes i can wear in the snow are no longer snow-appropriate, since the toe has split and is now basically a welcome mat for snow and slush and ice to enter my shoe. throw in the fact that my winter coat is essentially coming apart at the seams and has needed to be replaced for at least the last two winters, and i spent most of the walk feeling like a homeless person, which may have finally provided the kick i need to go shopping.
