Here She Goes Again

Yesterday, I worked from 9am - 11:45pm. 

Today, I only worked from 9am - 9:30pm. 

Tomorrow, I will work from 9am - 9:30pm. 

Saturday, I will work from 8:30am-5pm and then pack up my entire booth full of clothing, accessories, shoes, decorations, and fixtures, move it all back to my store, and set it back up again there.  Probably a 16 hour day, conservatively guessing.

And you want to know the REALLY crazy thing?

I love it.  I am so lucky to be in this show, and even though it is mind-searingly exhausting, I love every second of it. (Kyle, I will explain the mechanics of Mistletoe and Magic in detail after it is over and I have the use of more than two of my brain cells for anything other than selling clothes.  See, how that sentence totally sucked?  No brain cells!)

If only I could get my feet to agree.  Help me out, friends.  What is your very best remedy for super sore and aching feet?  Whatever you tell me I will do, because I trust you inherently and you have never led me astray (hello, Macbook?).  But really - help.  The feet.  They are very, very angry with me.

you can buythings overhere called party feet, sort of gel insoles for your tired and weary feet,which if course is absolutely no help to you at all if you don't have them there! I wish I could work with you and be all sort of helpful and fun....not helping at all am I? I know, just whine a lot when you get home, that will help I think.Then count all the lovely money you make and your feet will want to dance.Hoorah.

Dab a little peanut butter between the toes. Does the trick every time.

No,really...try soaking them in bath salts, if you have some. Baking soda works well, too. I'm not sure why, though...but it kinda fizzles and just feels nice and tingly. Definitely relaxes sore feet. Or, you could always have your hubby rub them for you...

Peppermint foot lotion. Massage onto feet and up calves. Do not neglect the calves. That is key in the foot massage process. mk

I'd have to go with the soaking the feet in yummy smelling salts and then lathering them in Crabtree & Evelyn thick lotion and sleeping in 100% cotton socks. Saved me during years of retail hell.
