Again, I am finding myself apologizing for not keeping up with this blog. One may think that since I retired and am pretty much staying home to reduce exposure to the Covid-19 virus, I would have more time to write on this blog.<\/p>\nAgain, I am finding myself apologizing for not keeping up with this blog.

One would think…. however, my days lately have been consumed with…
\n
\n…caregiving for my beloved husband. I will not go into detail, but it is very serious. Generally, he is okay, but we’ve had a LOT of medical appointments and issues which are exceptionally hard to deal with during a pandemic. <\/p>\n
As I work on the website, I select boots that I have not worn as much as perhaps they deserve. In fact, I am changing boots about 2 – 4 times\/day to try to give all of them some wear, and also realize\/discover which boots *may* be on the resale list because I am not wearing them nor have use for them, or just don’t like any more.<\/p>\n There is no problem wearing boots in the heat of summer — while you are sitting at a computer, cooking in the kitchen, or watching a movie in your air conditioned home.<\/p>\n I occasionally get out on my Harley, too, but not as often as I once did. I need to stick close to home these days.<\/p>\n Anyway, accept apologies for not blogging often. Of course if you have questions or suggestions, please drop me a note<\/a>. <\/p>\n Life is short: wear boots, even if indoors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Again, I am finding myself apologizing for not keeping up with this blog.

When not attending to my husband, I have been doing a LOT of back-end maintenance of my boots & leather website<\/a>. Since I converted it to HTTPS protocol, now search engines are finding it more often and visits to the website have increased rapidly from as low as about 200 visits\/day to now more than 2,000 visits\/day.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Tecovasbrady08.jpg?resize=196%2C300&ssl=1\")
<\/a>I am choosing to wear cowboy boots and motorcycle boots more often, and dress boots less. I also pull on work boots from time to time as I do work on our property or repairs on rental properties that I own.<\/p>\n
