Thanks for the shoe advice. It is the heels of my feet that are the most painful. My legs do not hurt at all.

I will have to do some major looking when I feel up to it but for now I can look online.

Feet hurting is the worse especially when you are on them for long periods of time.

I hope things go well this weekend with you H, maybe he will be in a better mood.

Glad the job is going well MWG. Also it was nice to hear that your h was receptive to helping more.

I know with working a full time job and the kids I too am very tired when I get home from work, but since I have been dieting I have way more energy.

Thanks for your support with my thread. What are your plans for the weekend?

[MidwesternGirl]

I am working five hours each day, Saturday and Sunday, then four hours each on Monday and Tuesday.

H will be here the weekend and then I asked him if he could do some grocery shopping the beginning of the week as well.

I need his help now more than before. He knows my feet are very sore, etc.

MWG,

Hate to go on about your feet but, before MLC my feet hurt me constantly. Heels too. Then I lost 50lbs. And now they are fine. So I do believe weight does make a difference.

I used to work at school cooking full time. My feet hurt me terribly then. To remedy I bought New Balance shoes. They seemed to work the best. Very expensive but no hurting feet are worth it.

I used to be on my feet a lot with my other job that ended in May but I was able to wear my regular sneakers. I had to get new shoes (black) for this job but with these shoes, my feet feel worse even though the shoes are very comfortable and I weigh less now than a year ago.

I will have to wait until Halloween (next pay day) to look for something better.

I have to get ready for work so I will check in with everyone later tonight, if possible.

H will be here today and tomorrow and will do things for me as well.

Maybe it is meant to be this way. It is much healthier for him to pitch in over here then it is for him to sit in front of a tv over there all day/everyday.

Plus he likes to feel needed and needed he is!

Hi MWG,
I hope your feet will get better soon and you will find some good shoes. Good to see that your H is helping you. Have a nice time and week-end with him. (((HUGS)))

I was wrong to blow my steam after I got home today. Not really to H's face but to some friends.

According to the girls, H was not in a good mood at all when he came over, which was about 20 minutes before I got home.

Before I knew this, I had come home, told him how my feet just ached and ached and he told me I need to get used to it, it's a job, etc. I was steamed.

His blood pressure is still very high, 105 over 150. And his arms were kind of numb, and we sat on the patio for awhile. Small talk or no talk and you could see that he just wanted to break down and cry. He said he is so stressed from everything. I just listened and I think he realized how my feet are really hurting as well. I told him I will not have off until probably next weekend.

He is coming over early tomorrow, about 2, he said but I do not get off work until 4. He is going to make those deposits for me tomorrow and on Tuesday he said he would go grocery shopping for us.

He left and kissed me goodbye several times. He really mellows out the longer he is here but I do worry about him.

I honestly think God is trying to humble him and he is getting hit from all angles.

He just texted me to let me know that he got there alright. He said he is so stressed all the time. And when he told me how much debt he was in, I just about dropped my jaw. I did not say a word.

Work today. I worked five hours today, will work five tomorrow, and am scheduled pretty much for the rest of next week. I am going to be so, so tired!!

At least H is willing to help out.
