It's simpsons quote day right?
Please please please please please please please please please.
Finally going to get my arse into the great outdoors and walk a bunch of ks before I get the few groceries I need. I have a botanic gardens and beach just around the corner ffs. It;s an average looking day but I have a floral umbrella, of course. I can hear birds chirping outside. I applied for a decent sounding job today and got a response to not so decent job too.
In other news: Wow! my feet have shrunk! This is good news, I was ladies 11 which aren't easy to find, but 10 is a bit easier. I'll have to go and check some 10s out. I'm not into heels, but fuck me if there aren't amazing ladies boots which rarely have sizes up to 11 without being really expensive.
I have wide feet and it's hard to find a good fit. You really just have to go to shops and try them on. Go mid afternoon when your feet are their largest too.
good luck
Thanks for the tip! Might wait till next winter and hopefully they're more like the final size they shrink down to.

Seymour! The house is on fire! No mother, it's just the Northern Lights.
Edit: Oh wow that's interesting that your feet have shrunk. But also have fun with that, size 10 is really hard to find. I'm technically a size 10.5, so it's great when I buy like vans or American brand shoes. So it's like, I can buy a 10 and be a bit of a tight squeeze, or I can be a size 11 and find fuck all.
Damn, oh well, apparently I might drop two sizes, if I'm a lucky. I get a bit dysphoric looking at ladies shoes so I've not really looked very much. I'm still pretty early on though. I'm starting to notice a lot of subtle and some not so subtle changes. It's pretty freakin cool.
I won't say it's impossible because I can still find shoes in my size, it's just a lot harder to look for. Though there are some brands I like that make larger shoe sizes which is cool. My stepmum has wide feet so it's really hard for her to find shoes as well. I know that won't stop the dysphoria magically (I wish it could tho, because like even though we're opposite, I 100% am with you and totally get it), but just know that even for cis women it's hard to find the right shoes.
