This past weekend I had two friends each ask me different personal questions. They both said they always wanted to know but because of this blog, now felt comfortable asking. I’m going to share with you under the assumption that if they want to know, you might too.
The first question was: Do I feel cold on my lower half when it’s cold out? This was from someone I spend several hours each Saturday working outside with.
The answer is of course, long 😂. Okay, so my legs don’t necessarily feel cold but I do make sure I am dressed in the same number of layers on the bottom as I do on top. I’m naturally always cold whenever the temperature is below like, 73° so I tend to wear many layers anyway.
Even though I don’t feel cold, my legs can feel extremely cold to the touch. My circulation isn’t great so that can happen kind of fast. I try to move a lot to prevent it from happening or at least make me feel like I might not die of hypothermia or some other ailment found on WebMD.
When it’s really hot out, like in the summer in Arizona, and I’m outside for a while, it’s much harder to cool down. Wanna know something super weird? When I’m working outside in the summer one step away from death by blazing inferno, even though my legs don’t feel “hot” my feet send a signal to my brain that they’re on fire and I usually wind up having to take my shoes off. Why? I don’t know but if you do, please share.
The next question I was asked was when my friend and I were walking around this weekend. I was pushing myself up the ramp and she asked if it was okay or if I preferred to have people push me.
The answer is generally, no. I don’t. It makes me feel weak. I also trust no one and don’t need no frenemy pushing me off a steep sidewalk. Just kidding - I just prefer to push myself. Me pushing is like you walking. Most of the time you’re okay. Me too.
Sometimes ramps are steep or the ground is gravel or loose dirt and then I enjoy some help and a push. I also don’t mind asking. Just don’t push me really fast because you think it’s funny. It’s not. It’s scary. My kids think it’s hilarious. One day they’ll do it and I’ll break my face open and then who will be laughing? Probably them, they’re a little fucked up. We already talked about how I feel about falling so I’ll leave it at that.
I don’t know if anyone wondered these same things but if you did, now you know. If you have anything you want to ask, please do. I honestly don’t mind. PM me or send an anonymous email and I would be happy to answer :) ✌🏼
