So my husband is unwell so he’s sleeping upstairs in our bedroom. I remember the bins need to go out because it’s trash day. I search for my shoes-can’t find them anywhere. Before you ask-I don’t own many pairs of shoes at all. I have weird ass feet.
So I decide I’ll be fine without them and walked out onto the snow barefoot. I had to wrestle the bins out of the snow before I dragged the bins to the curb from our backyard. I start to go back through the gate and inside. My feet are cold. My toes and sides of my feet are scarlet and toes are sore. Really sore. I throw a blanket over my feet for a little while to see if having a blanket over them will make them feel any better. Alas, they do not.
I go upstairs to try having a shower-my toes immediately start hurting like 10x worse when the water hits them.
I immediately get out and dry off. I’m crying; my husband wakes up and asks what is wrong. I tell him of my sheer ass stupidity.
Him: “You what???”
I sit on the toilet and cry while he tries massaging my left foot around my toes. He asks me to get my warm socks. He tucks me into bed and puts my socks on my feet. He then starts massaging both feet around my toes. The pain goes away mostly, THANK GOD.
He kisses my forehead and tells me to never do that again. He says that it was a stupid thing to do but thanks me nonetheless for getting the bins out onto the curb for us.
We both have a cuddle in the dark under warm blankets as I regret my decision to take the bins out anyway despite the fact it’s like -10 C outside and I had no shoes on.
I’m not from such a cold place and have never had to deal with snow.
I am originally from a warm country and as such have never been around such temperatures or conditions.
Tl;dr: I fucked up by walking through snow barefoot, causing myself pain and I think my husband a little exasperation.
