Cold Feet
Today my feet have been cold all day. I am not sure why this is. They have three layers on them. Of course they now only have two because I took my shoes off, but that would only explain why they are frozen now and not why they were frozen between 7.30am and 6pm. It is cold today but it is not THAT cold. I have experienced colder days. Such as the one where it snowed. That would certainly be classed as a ‘Freezing Cold Feet’ kind of day. Today would be classed as a ‘Wear Three Layers on Your Feet and Then They Will Be Warm’ kind of day. I am confused and bemused about the ice blocks that are my feet. I quite possibly could be working towards developing their warmth rather than writing about it but then no one else would know about my cold feet. I feel I must share this problem that I am having as a warning to people to take action to ensure their feet never become this cold.
Therefore if you are reading this, do the following with immediate action…
1) wear FOUR layers on your feet. Today is a FOUR layer kind of day.
2) put the heating on
3) periodically jump up and down or stamp your feet to increase the circulation
4) do NOT, under any circumstances, put ice in your socks.
5) if you have an office job give it up NOW. I fear this is a large part of the reason my feet are so cold. Today has been a paperwork kind of day. I feel that my feet are allergic to paperwork. Yours may well be too.
Disclaimer 1: any accidents caused by jumping up and down or stamping your feet are not in any way my fault. Do not blame me. You should be more careful.
Disclaimer 2: I have NEVER put ice in my socks. I am not speaking from experience.
Disclaimer 3: If you love your office job and are sure that it is not the cause of your cold feet then it is fine to keep your job. Don’t give it up just because I said so.
Disclaimer 4: This post is in no way a metaphor. I do not have metaphorically cold feet, I have real cold feet… as in feet that are currently at a low temperature.

Hehe, I’m so glad you came back to xanga
My feet are ALWAYS cold, due to the fact that my office is always cold., so I agree that quitting my job may actually solve all my problems!
@thegirlwiththecamera - go for it!
@randaness - me too!
I’m totally going to quit my job and tell my boss that it’s only because “Claire told me to do it”. My severance package should be huge! Large enough, perhaps, to warm my feet if I were to cover them with the pile of severance money in which I imagine myself rolling around. This is a reasonable course for action, yes?
@MyxlDove - perfectly so. Though if it should all go wrong I refuse adamantly to take any share of the blame. If it all goes right however I will certainly take a share of the severance money!
6) Move to a warmer climate. That’s what I did and it totally worked.
@MyxlDove - What? You get severance if you quit? In Canada you don’t get it if you choose to leave your job, you only get it if your job is terminated by the employer.
My feet are always cold! Sometimes I even have to wear layers on my feet to bed!
