In 2021 while on vacation in Italy my daughter completely ruptured her Achille's tendon, and after a surgical repair is really picky about her footgear and ankle support. And because she wears a larger shoe size than average for women, "One size fits all" doesn't work so well and finding socks that aren't just men's socks sometimes requires hunting around. Socks for xmas means she can toss the worn out ones. We discussed this very subject earlier this week before she left for Japan where they will walk up paths on forested hillsides to view ancient temples. Gotta have good shoes.

Today is starting out calmer but cool, and the rest of the week is supposed to have more of the off-putting windchill that makes outdoor excursions unpleasant. It's not like Canadian windchill of minus 0 proportions, but it's that it looks like it should be good walking around weather and when you step out the door the wind whips your body heat away from your head and neck and any exposed parts of your torso and you need to go back inside for the hat and scarf and gloves.

I need to do a return trip to the attic where there is enough airflow that I hope the sun shining on the roof compensates for the movement of air through the space. I need to finish some of the projects I've started and my next batch of Attic Dek panels arrived yesterday (purchased from NewEgg but drop shipped from Walmart - which, when I search, lists a price way higher than I paid, so I am truly puzzled.)
