Sneakers or Flip-flops?

Sneakers or flip-flops?  That is my choice of footwear today.  It's a little frustrating, since if I want to wear a dress I either need to wear sneakers with it, or wear the flip flops that are not great for walking.  I also don't have slippers - I wear the flip flops around the house. It was more practical when we were at the hotel to get flip-flops than slippers, and now other things have been more important.

I probably should go buy a pair of dress shoes, AND slippers, AND sandals AND maybe even some boots...   But it's so hard to find a single pair of shoes that really feels great, the thought of looking for so many sometimes stops me from looking for ANY.  (I had bought TWO pairs of sneakers this spring, the ones I'd chosen to wear for Teresa's graduation, knowing that in Boston that walking is inevitable, and the other pair, still in a box, at the house...  gone...) 

Decision-making becomes overwhelming... do I want a pair of flats, or some low heels? Should I get black or brown or maybe a nice navy?  And then, again, it really doesn't matter since I don't have much clothing to wear them with, so maybe I should get the black since it goes with everything... but maybe I need both.

And at some point I just I accept that I'm overwhelmed and I walk away. That's just the shoes. My shoes.  Just one little tiny insignificant piece of all that we're rebuilding.   So many CHOICES!!!!
