Cold

Today was so so so cold. After I was done helping Sister Keller clean her house and take care of her kids, I walked home. Alexis, who said she would pick me up, was busy walking around the mall with Mom for exercise. So, walking home it was.

It was around 5:20 when I left. The sun was setting and painted the sky this gorgeous orange color. I was enjoying myself quite a lot––just taking a nice stroll home, enjoying the sunset and time to myself.

However, after about 15 minutes into my walk home, I began regretting the whole thing. It was so flipping cold! I became so numb, I didn’t know what to do with myself. My body just hurt all over. I wanted to give in and call Mom and Lexi to just come and get me, but I kept reminding myself that this was good time to myself and that it was good to get some more steps in for the day––that, and no one was actually available to come get me. So, I continued my walk  home.

By the time I got home, Chris and Sam were actually home! What!? I should have just called them! I couldn’t feel anything on body where my coat did not cover. I decided to keep my coat on for a little while longer and go sit by the vent.

And thus concludes my anticlimactic story of my walk home.
