Best thing about today: 12/6/21

Best thing about today? Went to the local mall — very tony place — just to walk around and do a little shopping. It’s an outdoor place with lots of grandiose mis-60s architecture with a nice view of the Pacific. Koi pond, nice landscaping, and a gorgeous Christmas tree that is a popular photo op. Got the Christmas shot set up, perfect pose, loyal pooch posting adorably. And…I look down and the dog is taking a dump on the pristine display. While wearing a scarf that says “L’il Angel”. Merry Christmas, Newport Beach! You’re welcome!

What a deal!

Best thing about today? The shoes I wear for my flat (flat!) feet are expensive (Brooks Ariel @ $160 a pop). At least they’re expensive to me. So I’ve taken to searching for them on eBay. I’ve scored a number of good deals on either new or lightly worn shoes and I’ve saved myself hundreds. I’m stockpiling them…it’s my way of prepping, lol. But today I got a virtually new pair for $18. It’s an old model…I believe they’re 2012s…but the damn things look pristine. I am inordinately proud of myself and feel kind of like…
