The last 2 days have been warm enough to break out the socks I call my "summer slippers" 😍 . My toes are almost always ice cold! (Sometimes, they get too hot, but it's usually with exercise or at night before bed.) Even when it's over 100°F (37.8°C), my toes feel like ice cubes. Because of the constant ice toes, I have to keep my feet covered at all times! These adorable little socks are PERFECT for keeping my toes warm without making me overheat. . I got these socks a LONG time ago, in a pack of 4. There are these orange ones, some yellow ones, purple, and blue; they all have different geometric patterns on them. They're so much fun! . Even though it's been hot for two days (83°F yesterday, and similar today; 83°F = 28°C), it's supposed to get chilly and stormy again this weekend (56°F = 13°C). While the shifting weather hurts, the shifts from 80 to 50 aren't as painful. Frankly, I'm perfectly okay with it if it decides not to get super hot this summer! Though, I bet it'll get pretty dang hot in August 😞 (I don't have a/c in my house.) . Do you have any summer tricks to keep you from overheating but keep your toes warm? ... ... #LizzsSocks #NoShowSocks #FunSocks #OrangeSocks #ArgyleSocks #SummerSlippers #SummerWeather #SpringWeather #ColoradoWeather #Spoonie

🎉 New Blog Post: The Sock Collector . I wanted to write about something other than my health and diet... So here you go! I've been collecting socks for a long time, and I've amassed quite the collection (as you've probably been able to guess from my Insta posts)! To find out exactly how big my collection is, go read my post! .

Still feeling awful today: head is completely congested, didn't get enough sleep, extreme fatigue, all over body aches, etc. . To help give me a smile, I decided to put on some fun socks! (Well, I've been wearing fun socks, but these are new.) My sock collection is due, in part, to my mental health: I collect socks because they can always put a smile on my face, even when I feel awful. . Knee high, purple (my fave!), heart garlands! . I have to meal plan for the week and go grocery shopping. And hopefully I'll have enough time to get Dan to help with some cooking so I'm not as exhausted! ... ... #KneeHighs #FunSocks #PurpleSocks #HeartSocks #LizzsSocks #HappySocks #Sick #ViralInfection #SinusInfection #InvisibleIllness #ChronicIllness #ChronicConditions

🍀 Happy St. Patrick's Day! 🍀 . I'm normal person sick today 😷 and feel like death warmed up (look it too; I have very little color in my face). I have stuff to do, but I'm hoping I can do most of it lying down on the couch. .. Today, in 1990, my mom's dad (Grampa Jack) called my mom about 10 times. You see, he was extremely proud of his Irish heritage, and I was overdue, so he kept calling to see if she was in labor yet! I ended up being born on the 19th, about 2 weeks after my due date, and the day before her mom's (Gram) birthday! St. Patrick's Day ALWAYS makes me think of that story, and laugh 😂 .. The second picture is of the three pairs of socks I didn't get to wear this year for my countdown. I was planning on wearing a pair of the thigh highs (the left and middle pairs), some shorts, and a cute green lacy top I have... But I woke up feeling atrocious! Then, I was thinking about wearing the glitter socks, but the glitter thread was too scratchy (when I'm sick, my sensory problems intensify). So I chose to wear the green shamrock socks instead! They're really comfortable, and I'm still doing my part to celebrate 🍀🌈 . Enjoy today, and be safe! Even if you don't drink, remember to be extra cautious when out and about. If you are drinking, #DontDrinkAndDrive!!! . What are your plans for the day? ... ... #StPatricksDay #StPattysDay #StPaddysDay #LizzsSocks #Green #GreenSocks #ShamrockSocks #Shamrocks #FunSocks

Time to start being GREEN!!! 🍀 I have a LOT of St. Patty's Day socks, and I forgot to start wearing them on time this year 😆 But here we go! . My mom's dad, Grampa Jack, was always extremely proud of being Irish! Growing up, St. Patty's Day was always celebrated with green food (literally anything we could dye green was green lol), green decor, green outfits, and lots of shamrocks! As I've said before, every single holiday was celebrated to the max in my house! I loved that, and try to continue it in my own way. . Do you do anything special for St. Patty's Day? 🍀 ... ... #StPattysDay #StPatricksDay #StPattysDaySocks #GreenSocks #GlitterSocks #StripedSocks #ShamrockSocks #MonkeySocks #Shamrocks #Monkey #MonkeyLeprechaun #Irish #LizzsSocks
