Started with Rain and Ended with Rain

Rainy days always make me think of one thing...comfy clothes. If I could I would wear sweatpants and a black V-neck everyday of the week. Unfortunately for me and most of the population wearing that each day is not only socially unacceptable, but would also be detrimental to my job. Being a makeup artist at a small makeup boutique my appearance is very important. When I woke up this morning and looked out my window, all I saw was black clouds and thunderous rain. As I followed a rain drop pouring down my window a flash of lighting lit up the sky and BOOM. Going out on a whim I decided to wear comfy clothes. I effortlessly threw up my hair in a ponytail, and put some of my favorite shimmery bronzer on. Putting on my sweatpants was like sliding into a warm fuzzy blanket and I ran into my closet to grab my new hipster tennis shoes. They are not athletic shoes, but just really cute high tops. Sitting in my Earth Science lecture was like relaxing at home, I found that wearing comfy clothes are the way to go and I never wanted to go back to jeans and a cute top. Class was over and I was still loving life, I was walking back to my car when a throbbing pain caught my attention. The back of my heel was killing me. The walk back to my car was the longest walk of my life and I honestly didn't think I was going to make it. I unlocked my car door and sat down and grabbed my left shoe. Oblivious to the possible situation I pulled my shoe off. As I pulled I felt a sharp rib and I new I was going to see a gnarly blister. I prepared myself for the worst and looked at my heel. I had a ripped blister the size of two quarters with a lovely piece of skin hanging off. Trying not to totally freak out I took a breath and realized that comfy clothes aren't everything they seem. Looking out the car window it started to rain. Perfect.
