Whoops my leg fell off

Today I went to the mall with my husband and son because my husband wanted a hockey jersey for his birthday. I decided to wear a sundress, leggins (with the left leg cut off) and these double zip Ugg boots that I got the other day from eBay.

I must have forgotten that I spend 3 seasons in sandals and 1 season in very breathable shoes for a reason. Those Ugg boots are HOT. As in too warm. Add a mask to that and the extra effort it takes for me to walk in my AK leg and I was in the mall sweating. Once my leg startedf sweating, it did NOT want to stay suctioned to me. So I'd be walking along, feel my leg loosen and then it would pop off. I would then have to reach under my skirt and hold it on until I found a place to sit, take off my liner and dry it off. Good thing I was wearing yoga shorts underneath my dress. I even took off my leggings so my right leg was bare but I still kept sweating my leg off.

I guess I can't wear those Ugg boots unless I am out in the literal snow, because they are just too hot for me to wear on my feet. I'm also going to see if I can use my iontoroporesis machine to get my left to stop sweating. I'll definitely have to make a video about that. I probably should have made a video about my leg falling off in the mall, LOL.

At one point I got frustrated and told my husband that I could not handle my leg falling off and coralling my son. My husband thought it was funny and laughed. Him laughing at me sort of defused my frustration. He is actually really good at that. He laughs at me when I get frustrated with things and then instead of being frustrated it just turns into a silly situation. Or sometimes if he can see I am REALLY frustrated, he won't laugh and will help instead. He pretty much always knows how to react.
