Hi All, I went shopping at the mall in full Fem attire for just the second time today. I was so excited and everything went great. I walked around for about 2 hours. Sat and had a bite to eat at the food court. Went to all the major anchor department stores and browsed the women's sections. I even had a SA at Penny's ask to help me look at shoes and helped me try on a couple of pairs with no issues. After a couple of hours my ankles were starting to get sore. I still haven't built-up the strength to walk in heels for more than a couple of hours. I had on 2" booties that I just love to walk around in but my ankles are still weak. So I decided it was time to leave. When I walked out of the mall I walked into a snow/sleet blizzard in the good old midwest. Nice 1" layer of snow/ice on the sidewalks and parking lot. Snow crews had not yet come out to salt or plow. I have NEVER walked so gingerly in my entire life. I took baby step after baby step. My sore ankles in 2" heels on ice covered sidewalks were not a good combo. All I could imagine was wiping out on the sidewalk, hitting my head and being knocked unconscious and having the EMTs called to whisk me away to the hospital. SURPRISE !! Fortunately I made it to my car safely and had no mishaps. But it was an intense walk to prevent any mishaps. But the mall outing was once again very FUN and enjoyable. It seemed like I blended OK with no unusual looks or stares. It gets more fun every time I venture out in Fem.
