I realized months ago that I need at least one new pair of shoes or sneakers, tried DSW with no luck at all, and then didn't get around to trying again because I didn't know where to shop. And then covid-19 happened, and shoe stores don't count as essential in Massachusetts, so it was either wait for weeks or months longer, or try shopping online.

Merrell's has a website, and some of their shoes have fit me in the past, so it seemed like a good place to look. They had almost nothing in my usual size, but quite a bit in men's 7 wide, which sometimes fits me. I have ordered three pairs of shoes, of significantly different design, in the hope that at least one will fit. (If they all fit, wonderful, I would love three pairs of shoes that fit and aren't significantly worn out.) That was about as easy, emotionally, as I can remember shoe shopping being since I was able to walk into a New Balance store, point at my feet, and say "hi, I'd like these in 8WW," but it still used a lot of executive function.

I also made french toast for lunch, and carved the chicken that [personal profile] cattitude roasted for dinner. Our delivery order from McKinnon's arrived, so we had roast chicken for dinner, and put a package of chicken thighs in the freezer. We are also well-supplied with cold cuts (for Cattitude's breakfast) and ground meat. The plan is to make a large batch of bolognese sauce, some of which we will freeze.
