Burning Foot Syndrome
You know, there really is such a thing? Its actually called burning foot syndrome too. I thought it was just made up. Anyway, apparently its more common in people over the age of 50, those who consume great amounts of alcohol for many years, gastric restriction in morbid obesity, or for those who have thyroid dysfuntion. For some reason I dont seem to fit under any of those categories. What do ya know? My feet happen to feel hot and burn-y-ish right now. My house is similar to that of an oven.
I love the sun, and I love summer. I tried to make an appointment with my new doctor this morning only to find out that she's on vacation until August 3. So I had to settle for that. I just feel like I shouldnt waste a moment on my birthday doing boring things. Who am I kidding though, I'll most likely go to work from my appointment anyway. Its not like my husband will be around.
Today Im going to Lake Cowichan. Leah Hobbs invited Esther and I. Her grandparents have a place right on the lake and its supposedly really nice. I've never been to Lake Cowichan. I am looking forward to it. The way I feel on days off seems to be that I shouldnt waste a moment's time doing anything boring or useless. No sleeping in past 9, because the day will waste away. I have to squeeze in as much fun stuff as possible. So when I suggested we leave around 10 Leah was like "woah Sarah, you're hardcore." Well maybe I am, what of it? She's on her first week of maternity leave. We're taking Esther on a brief tour through Chemainus to see the murals. Actually I dont know that Ive ever really seen the murals myself. I thinkI recall a sign on the highway from here to Victoria that says "Chemainus the little town that could" but i could be wrong. It might actually be Ladysmith that "could." But on this sign there's a picture of a stick person with a paintbrush. Arent I full of interesting things to say today?
My feet really are burning right now. I feel the need to soak them in cold water, and maybe I should have a shower, and find something to eat.
