Frostbite update

So...Yes, my ears were definitely frostbitten. This morning I spent approximately fifteen minutes in front of the bathroom mirror, peeling off crackly half-inch sections of burnt ear. Well, not "ear," but dry, dead, ear skin. My molting ears. They are still burning a little. And I'm sure you wanted to know all this. Green tea lotion is soothing to the ears, by the way...

Frostbite

The last time I was stupid enough to get frostbitten was in 2002 or 2003. However, it seems both my ears feel frostbitten today. I was trying to warm them up on the bus this morning, but it felt so much like the tops were consisting of raw, bleeding skin that I looked at my fingers afterward in the hopes of proving myself wrong. For the record, my ears were not bleeding. At the moment, they are burning still. If I touch them with my fingers, they feel like a tiny child with sharp, pointy nails has pinched them and left gouges in them. In other words, they may be frostbitten.
