Cold Feet

No, I'm not getting nervous about some upcoming event. In fact, I have cold feet. Well, perhaps it's not that they're cold but that I've lost some of the sensitivity in them and that feeling reminds me of having cold feet. I am whisked back to Canada and the bleak mid-winter where I stand out in the cold with the children. We play or walk or sled and then come in and my feet have lost their feeling. I take off my boots and socks and rub them till the feeling returns. At some point they seem to be very hot and then they return to normal. There is nothing I can do to change how my feet feel at the moment (and for however much longer it will last) but as I sit reading, I feel as if I'm back in a Canadian winter and I want to take off my socks and rub my feet.
