Okay, well today I think I broke all of the commandments of shopping and now I'm suffering for it.
1. Never never try on fitted dresses during PMS
sorry guys I didn't know what else to call it That little
(figure of speech) ol' size that you hate being in in the first place goes up when you are bloated. Also when the heck did I get kankles..or something pretty darn close to it. Those cute little flirty shoes just didn't cut it either as they cut into said kankles or what is pretty close to them. I think that's up there with that back stuff.
2. Never try on flirty little shoes when it has been way too long since you had a pedi.

Having a guy as the salesperson made it worse.

Can dry heel skin rip a ped?
Just a side observation - Why do all of the size 0 teens looking for some winter soiree all seem to come out at the same time you are cursing trying to reach the zipper in the dress.
3. Solo dress trying on is great so no one can see you sink to the lows of lows but it sure helps to have someone to zip up the dresses. #3 is - it is impossible to turn the dress around so the back zip is in the front and spin it around (ala a bra - KWIM). First of all the zip won't go up all the way due to the you know -
those things that shall not be named are problematic on a good day but PMS - OY 
and then you still have the same issue trying to twist it back around half zipped
just pathetic
Basically I could go on and on and on. Hours later it took me way to long to accomplish this shopping task so I cursed myself and left to head home calling DH for a consoling voice to say sign me up to the gym and he replied "Uhm it's 1 minutes to the end of the game the Patriots are leading..." Yeah, that's when I said the heck with it and went to the Wendy's drive thru. I rarely even eat fastfood but there was no Starbucks around.
Okay - so that was my day. I still have a lot of work work to do vs. cruise work. I have all of that as well. DH started his packing and that would be a whole other post.
