spontaneous combustion

Every once in a while, I have a few days where my skin feels like it's on fire. Last night I couldn't bear to have the covers over me b/c I felt like I was going to burn up. I couldn't sleep. I kept alternating between uncovering myself to cool down, and covering again b/c I thought maybe I finally got cold enough, and then trying a combination of one foot in/one out. It's just my legs too. When I place my hand on my thigh I can feel how much hotter my legs are. It didn't help that Alex was snoring next to me b/c I blamed my inability to sleep on him. In retrospect, it was the ridiculous temperature differential in my body. Sorry Alex!

I also finally pumiced my heels last night. They had gotten so dry that the skin was cracking and getting caught on my socks. It was painful. But now they're much more tame. Yay for that.

For the last few weeks my company has been running our clinical trial at the hospital, which involves me getting up at 5:30 to get to a 6:30am meeting. That's no fun! Hurray for naps though. And I get to come home ~3pm.

I hope I don't combust tonight.
