Cold Feet, Warm Heart
Or is that “Cold hands, warm heart?” I don’t know. Whatever it is, it’s more like “Cold hands, cold feet” when adapted to me. Does it mean you have poor circulation when your extremities turn into popsicles when the temperature drops? I had just gone to bed last night and my hands and feet were freezing. After laying there 15 minutes my hands were warmed up since I was able to hold them against my body, but my feet were still icy.
I could have worn socks, but they usually end up lost under the blankets somewhere. Plus my feet have this annoying tendency to overheat once they do get warmed up. Weird huh? Anyway, my predicament was solved when I jammed my feet under the pile of clothes at the corner of my bed. Within five minutes they were warm. I knew there was a reason why I maintained that rotating pile of clothing there! Next time my sweetie complains about it I’ll tell her how they saved my feet from frostbite. (She’ll just tell me to wear socks next time.)
So how does one improve their circulation anyway? Well exercising is one, but that’s not very convenient. Oh well, I’ll just continue to wear my gloves at the office. (Why do they keep it so damn cold?) I’ve been told that they make me look like a thug since they’re black with no fingers. Maybe I’ll start busting some skulls around here in a quest to find the thermostat!
