(repeat previous steps 8 times)
dragged self out of bed
winced at cold wood floor
(considered returning to bed)
pulled on ratty socks to compensate
took shower in lukewarm water
cursed ancient radiators
slathered face with lotion
pulled on 3 layers
still cold
made sad face in mirror
exaggerated the sad face for effect
let out a giggle
pulled on 4th layer
heated self with blowdryer
checked email to avoid going outside
dragged self outside
slipped down front steps despite presence of railing
decided to walk on street instead of unshoveled sidewalks
splashed by oncoming car
moved back to the sidewalk
stepped on what I thought was dry land
soaked entire right boot
determined to be more careful
stepped on what I thought was dry land
soaked entire left boot
attempted to feel toes
failed.
