Those that know me well, know that I love shoes! I love flip flops, flats, pumps, boots, wedges, sandals, sneakers.... I love them ALL! I can't own enough shoes! My closet is normally full of all kinds of shoes. For now, though, most of them are packed up in storage. When I packed up my house, I didn't pack for this long period of time away from my things. HA! I would've packed completely different if I had known I was going to get sick and not have my own real space by now! Oh well!
This week was chemo #9!! I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Dear God, don't let it be the train!!! So, I've spent my days sleeping and today mom and I went out and spent a girls morning/afternoon at the flower show and antique shopping. I felt like I was walking on air today. The sun was out, the weather was warm, and I felt like being out for the first time in days! When I was leaving to meet my mom, I just threw my shoes on. It was a toss up between flip flops and tennis shoes. I opted out of flip flops because I'm not flip flop polished or ready to go in a moments notice.
So, as we were walking around the flower show, I had a moment of realization that I was so glad to be wearing tennis shoes and not wearing slippers around the house! It gave me a much needed boost! A pep in my step that I haven't noticed a lot lately. It means I wasn't in my pjs anymore this week- not stuck in bed because I'm too dang tired to do anything! It means that I wasn't schleping out into the yard with my hair all CRAZY, sticking up from sleeping. It meant that I was out and about, enjoying this day and the Chattanooga community!
Today, I love my tennis shoes!
Now... to go try to find my boots!!!
