I have a problem when it comes to buying shoes. Well, it's actually a problem with buying clothing in general. I'm cheap. Very cheap. I tend to have arbitrary price limits in my head and refuse to buy anything that costs more than that. This does come in handy considering our limited funds for things like clothing and shoes, but it also means that I tend to have a wardrobe of odd, non-matching, ill-fitting clothes. While it's true that I have found some great things at thrift stores and on clearance, I definitely have other clothes that are just plain lame. I will often choose to buy things because they are cheap, even sacrificing what I really want because it doesn't fit my predetermined price conventions. I am convincing myself to buy this jacket because it is comfortable, stylish, fits a wardrobe need (I don't have a blazer or jacket), and matches a skirt I already have. Oh and it comes in petite, so I can get a large that won't squeeze my tummy and not hav

One of my daughters got me one of those scooters the grocery store provides, after I was injured recently. She was having a ball driving it around, to get it to me. I rode it for about 3 minutes and told her to put it back! It was too embarrasing to look like an 'old person'. In your case, you may FEEL old on occasion, but at least you don't look it, too! And as was pointed out, it's TEMPORARY!
(I'm kind of like my Grandmother, who refused to buy a pair of 'nice, sturdy shoes'. My aunt told her that my other aunt had just bought some and loved them. My grandmother said, 'If Lola wants to wear old-lady shoes she can, BUT I'M NOT WEARING OLD LADY SHOES! Grandma was in her 90's then!)
"if you had one" = i.e. a Jazzy.
