One Day Later, Can I Trust Me, Will It Last, Still No Cussing Please

At the moment I just would like to say to the world that I had a feeling.

I put on my left shoe.
I am a paraplegic and have very limited feeling in my lower extremities.
I'm living in the woods in Maine.
The temperature inside before the fire gets stoked isn't all that much greater than the temperature outside.
There is over a foot of snow outside.
I guess the temp inside is more than not that much greater than the temp outside because it is more than 35 inside right now and less than 20 outside, but then the fire is going now. Come to think of it, it never really does get much at all below freezing inside even in the morning but it gets like zero and even less outside so gee- I mean go figure, you know(?).

Anyway, the point of all this is that I put my left shoe on.
Well not that I put my left shoe on but that when I did put my left shoe on I felt a feeling of coldness in my foot, in my left foot. That's where I put the shoe.

Actually it's a sneaker, but my foot felt cold. I don't know if I've had that feeling in the past 16 years. Maybe occasionally while stretching my feet I've noticed dim sensation. But a feeling like coldness?? Now, sixteen years in?

Sometimes gifts are funny things.
But still they are gifts.
