Imagination, in some cases, is better than reality.
A few minutes ago I was sitting at the computer, staring out the window at the falling sleet. I had a vision in my head, that if I went to stand outside, I could become completely freezing, and then come in and take a nice hot bath, and it would be beautiful and perfect. Sort of like a strange temperature ritual.
So I took off my socks and sweatshirt, and went to stand on the cement steps. My body felt fine, next to the steps on my feet. The soles of my feet were absolutely freezing. I kept telling myself that this would feel really neat, and that I could withstand this, but I couldn't even bear the cold of the cement on the soles of my feet. I wasn't even experiencing it on any other part of my body because it was so intense on my feet. So I went inside and wrapped my feet in a blanket. It wasn't worth it to go to the tub.
And then I remembered that my tub's so small that the water only comes up to my navel, and it would be pointless anyway.
So much for stupid ideas. I mean, I really got a rush to go outside.
