Walking is tricky today

My shoes have a little bit of a problem: they scrape my heels as I walk. I've had that problem with shoes before and as expected, it's gotten better as I walk in them more, but nevertheless I have a blister on my left heel that is healing only slowly because I keep walking in my shoes. In compensation, I've been shifting my weight toward the toe so it scrapes less. This has resulted in a sore spot of some variety around the seams of my left toes. So, my left foot isn't in great shape.

Now yesterday, in ballroom dance, we learned swing. Because I learned lead parts for waltz and foxtrot, I decided to switch to follow. Leads start with their left foot; follows start with their right. In swing, you do a whole lot of back-stepping with your starting foot - a quick step backward followed by an equally quick rock forward onto the opposite foot. I was having a lot of fun and didn't think much of it at the time, but this morning my right calf was seized up ridiculously.

Blistered heel and sore toe on my left, painful calf on my right. I can't compensate for either one without setting off the problems of the other! To top it all off, I walked up two flights of stairs at three o'clock to see my lab TA in office hours, only to realize that his office hours are at 3-4 tomorrow and were at 1-2 today. I don't know why I incessantly mix up my Wednesday and Thursday - my schedule is so different - but I do it perpetually. So I am unhappy about a number of things at the moment.
