Swollen

For years, I have been able to predict the rain. Nobody believes me when I say this, but I say, "Shhhh... listen to your body, it will lead the way..."

Ok, for reals now, I know that not everybody is as gifted as me when it comes to biologically determined meteorological predictions. But I have a secret, dear Intenet:

My feet swell. Every day, before a rainfall, my feet swell -- and I can often feel my heartbeat in them.

I know a lot of people will dismiss this as hippie rubbish. My boyfriend took a full three years of 100% rain prediction accuracy before he came to belive that my feet can determine what the skies will drop tomorrow. By now, he has come to ask ME, before consulting the weatherman, what the forecast is tomorrow.

Last night, however, I doubted. Sometimes my feet have a hard time determining the difference between an excessively humid day and the rainfall. As the last four days in Paris have been very humid, I assumed the throbbing that began around 19:00 was simply due to our 90% humidity problem.

I mentioned in passing that my feet were throbbing, and The Boy said, "Oh l�, looks like rain tomorrow!" and I corrected him, reminding him about the humid vs rain difference.

But h�las... this evening things are cooling down and there is a pleasant bit of rain throughout the city.

My feet were right again. It'd be cool if I could fit them back in my sandals, now...

It's awesome having psychic feet!
