Things are not always as they seem, and we were not all popped out of the same "cookie cutter."

I also take medication for a thyroid problem and I am a diabetic (very well-controlled) but I seem to have the coldest feet, just about any time of year! During these last few cold nights I have sat at my laptop with my feet wrapped in a heating pad! I kinda used to feel like Dirigo when we first moved down here from Maine. 46 degrees wasn't all that bad. Heck, a hood and four layers of clothes, plus gloves and wind pants were all I needed for a round of golf in that weather! Now 46 degrees is awful! Hubby never put long pants on for several years after we moved. They now hang at the front of the closet and he puts them on more often this time of year. It's amazing how some of us change our tolerances the longer we are here! Call it thinning blood, call it just plain turning into a wimp, I'm not sure what happens. My feet are freezing!!
