Monday 16th

• Shoe shopping - just a week ago we found for my three year old ds a toddler 12 w-wide (double wide) at the Galleria and found that there is a shoe maker out there who takes my extremely high arched wide as flippers foot into consideration (men 13.5 w-wide) SAS - SanAntonio Shoes - not very inventive name, not very inventive shoes, but they fit me. AS my current shoes where split on the soles of the balls of both feet and the inner lining was completely gone. We decided to look into SAS and try to find a pair under $150.00 (I'm seriously thinking of going back to making my own.) We did find a SAS shop in Lancaster Tanger Outlet mall and I was able to get a pair of the closest thing SAS had to dress shoes for $128.00 about half of what a pair of simmilar quality and style as I've found so far... I wish I could just phase from here to a shoe maker in Hildalgo ... I'd have a shoe made for me perfectly pay the man $45.00 US and know that neither he or i was ripped off, but "transport me to ... scotty" hasn't worked yet.
• ds and I spent the early evening picking up the yard

February Lodge stated meeting is on St. Valentine's Day. It is strange that in my lifetime I've actually seen an event where attending Lodge would be a conflict with my health and family ... lol...

I'm going to have to rework my reporting process... using a subset of object specific queryies (stored procedures) takes too long to process ... wonder how the view/filter front end will function? ...
