Shoe updates plus Pfizer vaccine

anna_wingAs a now-VIP customer of the dance-shoe shop, when I went to pick up the evening shoes (having had them re-soled from felt to rubber for regular wear), they pulled out a couple of boxes of rolled-up strips of interesting-looking leather dyed in different gorgeous colours, and said, "Let us design you a pair in snakeskin."
So now I have two more on order, both in 1920s styles, with normal two, and two-and-a half inch heels for, hopefully, occasional day wear. I am not sure why they used Imperial measures, but perhaps this is the US influence on South Korea, where the shoes are made. One will be in a beautiful silvery-green snakeskin with silver leather trim, and the other in a bicolour pale gold and taupe snakeskin with bronze leather trim. I was firm in declining the suggestion of Swarovski crystals, even just a few on the strap at no extra cost. I did spring for the special inner soles with extra arch support.
I doubt that I will be able to return to the motherland for at least another six months, but the shop will hold my orders for me. Something to look forward to.
I got the Pfizer vaccine shots while I was back. No issues, much less painful than the tetanus vaccine. Sore arm on the second day after the first shot, and sore arm and sudden desire for an afternoon nap on the dayafter the second one. Some tenderness to the injection site for more than a week, but very minor.
