Deselect triggers

Help! So I'm having trouble getting correct triggers to fire for a deselect state. The context is think of an image of a calendar that you select dates you want to request off (select = ring around number state) but then if you need to deselect a date, (ring disappears)  I can't get the triggers and variables to dance correctly to make this happen. 
Any ideas? The cheap fix is I made a "clear" button that jumps to "this slide" and the slide properties are set when revisiting to reset to initial state.
