I've come to two realizations since I've been to Detroit - I have tiny earholes and since I gave birth to Benarooni, my right foot is bigger than my left.
For this trip I'm at a client that is a major car manufacturer and I'm training at their plant. To get to the training room, I need to cross the main factory floor which requires me to wear protective goggles and earplugs, which they had supplied me when I arrived. This isn't the first time I've had to wear goggles, but it is the first time I've had to wear earplugs. I stuck 'em in my ear and went into the factory. Well, actually, I stuck in the right one and took about 5 minutes to get the other one in my left because it kept on popping out. My earhole was too small to fit the little plastic earplug. I know I have small ears, but I never really thought to the level of my earholes. I mean, how often does anyone really think about their earholes?
Since I haven't been on a trip in a while, since January actually, I needed to go out and get a lot of travel supplies. One other thing I needed to get were some business shoes. My old shoes where worn out and they were getting pretty uncomfortable. That's what happens when you buy your shoes at Payless! So of course, I bought another pair at Payless. I found a nice pair, but they didn't have my regular size - a size 8. But since I'm in between a 7 1/2 and an 8, I found a 7 1/2 (i prefer 8's because I like my shoes loose). I tried on one of the shoes and it fit perfectly, with just a little leeway for socks. I didn't bother trying on the shoes at home because I don't have time for those piddly things, the first time I actually wore both shoes I was at the airport for my flight. I put on the left and it fit just fine. I put on the right and "What the ?!?! This shoe is tight on my foot!" I looked at the size on the shoe, and they were both the same. But it was tight on my right foot - my right foot is deformed! Deformed and enlarged by my ex-pregnancy!
Yeah, I'm a freak.
I miss my baby!
