so, I bit the bullet and decided to go for one of those shoe inserts. those things are expensive ($50) but with the way long shifts have been fucking up my feet, I think it'll be worth it. At least via discounts and coupons I can bring the price down to $35. here's hoping to hell they work, though. it'd be nice to walk normally around the house again. on a more positive note, I've noticed these new pillows have REALLY improved my sleep - if nothing else, I fall asleep a lot more reliably. Here's hoping that continues. (one thing I like about ttbp is that if you have more, it's super easy to add - you're not locked into an entry until the day's done)
