…put on some socks!
I find myself lately having very cold feet. This in and of itself isn’t terribly weird; I’ve always had cold feet and hands. It’s not a circulation issue or anything, I apparently have excellent pulse in my feet, it’s just one of those things. For the months I was on Lupron (and thus in temporary, medical menopause) I was never cold – always just way too hot. After stopping it and having my surgery and such, I got back to my normal “I tend to be chilly” body temperature. (Which was quite a relief!)
But lately, I’m fine when I go to bed but some nights I will wake up during the night with my feet being freezing. Problem is, I’m not waking up enough to do anything about it, just enough to be annoyed by my cold feet. Eventually, after what feels like hours (but is probably much shorter of a time), I manage to get myself up enough to shuffle over to my sock bin and grab a pair, put them on and go back to sleep.
So many nights I feel like it’s hours of cold foot frustration. And, because I’m mostly asleep, I don’t realize I can easily fix the problem which adds to the frustration.
I know, I know, just put on socks before bed, right? Some nights I do just that. But it’s not super cold feet every night. And some nights, my socks annoy me if my feet aren’t cold and then I find myself sticking my socked feet out from under the covers because they’re too warm! So I just can’t win. And so, some nights it’s just going to be a cold foot experience I guess.
I do have to laugh though some mornings looking at the sock choices I make in the dark, half asleep. They tend to be, well, interesting!
