I bought a Palm Tungsten E2 to serve as Pepid software reader and my calender\/to-do solution.  Then I gave Amanda my blackberry.  It was a happy exchange, since she was in need of a phone and I did not need a fancy schmancy phone now that I had a palm. Then I got a new motorola phone.  It sucks that I donated my old one when I got the blackberry.  It worked just fine and I&#8217;d be happy to still have it.  But I need a phone one way or another, and this one is purple and shiny and all kinds of pretty.  So that&#8217;s something.  The palm I got is working great.  I had one when I went to CU so the user interface is second nature.  Pepid was obviously designed for this kind of device, because it works more smoothly than it did on the BB.<\/p>\n<p>I ordered some Dansko clogs to wear to clinicals.  <a href=\"http:\/\/freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com\/2008\/05\/22\/youre-hired-now-quit\/\">Zappos is a fabulous company<\/a>.  They sent my order overnight as a free upgrade. They answered all my questions about how the shoes should fit and style\/size availability.  Sadly, of the four pairs of shoes I ordered none of them fit that great.  I should have listened to the great reviews on their site, that advised ordering a size up.  By the time I was ready to return the shoes (at no cost!) they no longer had my size in ANY style of Dansko pro.  I looked feverishly all over the internet.  No where could I find my size except on weirdo sites for horse trainers and chefs, with no free shipping.  Today I took my big box of Zappos returns to the UPS store in Applewood and stopped by Mucellis&#8217;s Shoes,<a href=\"http:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/9cf15-dansko.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/9cf15-dansko.jpg?w=160\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203323030747045426\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> which was listed as a Dansko supplier.  15 minutes later I walked out with a great pair of exactly the shoes I wanted.  The shoes are handmade, so even within a single size the fit will vary.  The store manager brought out all 4 pairs in my size of the narrow shoe (which is hard to find, I called several places and they didn&#8217;t carry the narrow).  She apologized they only had 4!  She helped me figure out the best fit and color and was extremely friendly.  I was glad I tossed my student ID in the purse because they give a 15% discount on closed heel shoes to all nurses\/students, and 10% all other shoes!  (They also give the discount to teachers, and specialize in carrying larger sizes.  One of my readers may be interested in that.)  I totally lucked out by trying that store.  Apparently people come up from as far as Castle Rock to get shoes there.<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/91a09-chips-htm.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/91a09-chips-htm.jpg?w=160\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203323035042012738\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>And it&#8217;s a beautiful cloudy day with spots of rain.  My herbs are flourishing, my clematis and primroses came back this year.  I&#8217;m enjoying one of my guilty pleasures for a few moments before starting an essay about myself, due Tuesday.  You can guess which class it&#8217;s for.  By the way I got A&#8217;s on my first two exams &#8211; woot!  Oh, and So You Think You Can Dance starts up tonight.  Ah.
