Stepping Out
April 11, 2008 – 10:19 pmI am sure it was a tadbit suspicious when, on the nicest day we have had all year, I left school early, claiming to be sick. Unfortunately, much like Mike, my cold has turned into a sinus infection. I’ve managed to suffer at school all week because the pressure wasn’t too bad and we had a lot going on, or at least, enough things to keep my mind off how lousy I feel. But take a Friday, add some sunshine and warmer weather (the promise of spring), and suddenly no one is wanting to get their hair cut or colored . . . I managed to make it until two, when I accepted defeat and went home to curl up on my sofa to sleep.
Tomorrow its supposed to be even nicer out and though I will be in school, we have plenty of windows and opportunities to slip outside for a couple of minutes of Vitamin D. I am hoping I rested enough this afternoon and evening to get over this shit.
I found these today in my closet:
Mom bought them for me to wear at the wedding reception last summer, when my feet grew too tired and gave up on the heels, but I never reached that point. With the warmer weather coming, some of my classmates feel energized to wear more cute and Spring time clothing. I figured this was my personal expression of the upcoming Spring season.
Oh how I loved Jelly shoes when I was little. They were my favorites and I wore them until I’d outgrown them and stretched them out to the point of them breaking at the toes. I loved how the heels would catch rocks in them and then, you’d get to clean them out. They are not as comfortable as I remember them being. Or maybe, my feet just aren’t as tolerating as they were when I was little.
