WARM HANDS COLD HEART

You know that old expression, "cold hands, warm heart."

I've been quoting it all my life.

I have freezer hands - cold like death - corpse hands.

People who shake hands with me almost always do a double-take - is this woman actually alive?!?

And for quite a few years, I've been wearing fingerless mittens even around the house - that way, I can at least type unencumbered.

 But the other night, I accidentally stumbled upon an old pair of "real" mittens - full, around-the-entire-hand, tightly knitted mittens.,


And I thought I'd wear them to bed to keep them warm.

That was a mistake.

Now I have learned, warm hands, HOT heart - I had palpitations!
