Sounds like you have the "blahs". Comfort food is a good cure for the blahs. My personal fav is buying a fabulous new pair of shoes on sale. Fortunately, I've been pretty perky as of late lest my closet overflows and I am ostracized like Imelda Marcos - who was completely misunderstood.

Successfully buying new shoes is a mood lifter, yes, I think I can remember that far back clearly enough. Not having any spare money to buy shoes is a downer, not being able to find any in my size is frustrating, and stores filled with nothing but styles I don't fancy is disappointing, so for a starving artist who wears size 12 pumps and is a little picky, it's a risky strategy.
But now that I'm not in the deepeset blah zone, a scouting run is in order, to see whether the less extravagant stores that go up to 12 have styles I like this season, so that if there's anything left over from the birthday money my mother said she was sending (I know what I'm doing with some of it already), I'll know whether trying to spend the rest of it on shoes to take my mind off of car frustrations will be a good idea or not.
I just have to steer clear of the web sites that have suuuuuch preeeeeetty shooooooes that cost thirty or forty times as much as I can even think about spending.
A lot of the pointier style shoes are longer than the regular size so you might be able to find like an 11.5 or an 11 that fits. I usually have to go down a half size for them.
You do know about the Manolo right? shoeblogs.com Ask him. I'm sure he'd know where to find size 12 pumps for reasonable prices. And eBay - lots of size 12 shoes for under $30. http://tinyurl.com/3ca7go Those black and white ones at the top are way cute!!
