Flip-flops for the Week

June 20, 2006 at 7:53 pm (Current Events)

The sun hasn't quite made up its mind yet about coming out in full force here in Oregon- must be those lingering students still around who haven't left. Yet despite the flippant weather throughout the day, I have donned flip-flops. No, not the spongy, strappy kind that A&F boys wear even in hurricane weather. I'm talking about how each day has been different from the previous, flip-flopping between a wonderful, productive day to utter crap.

Today I want to just stay home and hide. I have four reasons I wrote down on a post-it note at work that justify hiberating in a dark hole. In an effort to put some of my mistakes down and look at them in perspective, they only seem to haunt me more. And so I wrote "LET IT GO" across all of the items I listed. That helped for about 10 minutes. Now, I've pretty much resolved that today will be a solemn day that will have to be handled gingerly. I will minimize speech and activity so as to avoid saying or doing something more to add to my list in my head.

Who knew flip-flops could be so heavy to carry? The one perk to them is that it comes with humility as a fashion accessory. How many American Eagles or Abercrombies offer that?
