Revelation

I think I never truly appreciated it when people said they have swollen ankles. Hahaha, what the hell is a swollen ankle, anyway, I admit I have laughed in my former life?

Last night I went to a 3 hour reception -- standing the whole time -- and at one point looked down over the precipice and saw... ankle skin ballooning over the tops of my slip-on shoes. Took off said shoe and saw indentations -- deep indentations -- where the top of the shoe ended, and the puffy ankle fat began. Wow. Intense.

On another note, you should have seen me mow down the caterers with the passed hors d'oeuvres. Nothing was going to stand between me and my corn-crab fritters!
