Mismatched

I knew when the day began yesterday that it would be a long day because of the parent-teacher meeting in the evening.  Since Hiromi was coming home early and could take care of the few animal chores one of us does each evening, I decided to go to school dressed in parent-teacher's meeting clothes--not that different from the usual dress, but slightly.

It was a good day, but I was ever-so-glad to come home and relax after the end of the meeting and the socializing afterward. I sat on the couch and stretched out my legs in front of me.  It was then that I first saw it.  I was wearing one blue shoe and one black shoe.
