I needed a picture for a work thing today, everyone else had these amazing professionally done pictures and my last proper picture was done years ago. So I took a selfie. And I liked it. And I used it for the work thing. And it will work.

55 days AF and a beautiful fall day. And heres a story that happened yesturday. Everything has been going good, things running smoothly. And then I get a letter in the mail refering me to the Reponsible driving program (RDP) and stating that I have 45 days to pay $1200 for the program or they will cancel my license. Well that was a kick in my ovaries. Fortunately I was able to get a deferal on my car loan to cover the cost. And Im looking at it as another lesson as to why to be greatful for what I have and for my reason to not have alcohol in my life. Cheers everyone and hope everyone is well in my sober Fam! :two_hearts::two_hearts::two_hearts:

I never heard of Hoka before seeing them on my friend. She said itā€™s all sheā€™ll wear to work and theyā€™re worth every penny. Do you have any opinions? (Besides how well their boxes stack :joy:) Iā€™ve needed new work shoes for a while and have been considering the investmentā€¦

Well youā€™re in the right hands here. Iā€™ve actually done some personal training on them. I used to be that guy that literally only wore Nikes lol. Always made fun of people wearing these or anything that looks like a ā€œmoon shoeā€
Butā€¦ as Iā€™m getting older and everything hurts now, Iā€™m taking my comfort more serious. Knowing that you work in the service industry and run your tail off, you definitely want a pair for work! I wish I did when I bartended. Itā€™ll truly help your knees, hips, and joints. Theyā€™re going to cushion that impact from your body weight and pressure to the floor. They have different kinds for wider toe boxes, trail, non slip, etcā€¦ theyā€™re very popular now. And thatā€™s a statement to the engineering they put into their product and their customers. I donā€™t have a pair but Iā€™ve tried them and will buy a pair eventually. On Clouds are another good option too. Hereā€™s a couple suggestions for you

HOKA
Clifton 9 or Arahi 7

On Clouds
Cloudrunner 2

Personally Iā€™m more of On Cloud fan but they both are true to their reviews. Best suggestion is find somewhere near you, go there and try them on! Youā€™re paying good money for them. Get whatā€™s best for you :smiley:

Make a trip to the south and Iā€™ll hook you up with my sober fam discount. We can hit a trail and test em out lol

This! :point_up::muscle::facepunch:

Yer killinā€™ it!

I have had a few of those unexpected expense curve balls come my way latelyā€¦ always remind myself something I read on here a long time ago. In a year from now? We might not even remember the stressful situation, but we would remember having to reset the counter.
No reset necessary!
Onward we go! :wink::orange_heart:

Edit to add: Iā€™m gonna steal your ovaries line! :pray::face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Wow, thanks for your input! I havenā€™t researched stores that sell them near me, but I will. My friend gets hers online, but she knows the brand. I have flat feet and my right is a half size bigger than my left(:face_with_diagonal_mouth: annoying) so I have to try them on first. Nonslip is also a must. Iā€™ll definitely look more into it. Thanks again :blush:
