Last weekend was a lot of fun but my body was really sore for a few days afterwards.
I played a bunch of volleyball and then drummed and sang for about four hours.
Needless to say, my hands were hurting a lot and in need of some therapy. I did my cold water dip, immersing my hands in the 55F water for 15 minutes and then followed it up with a hot bath and a session of heating beside my small radiant space heater. The body heals well when you cycle it from cold to hot a few times during the day. I have a good tankless hot water heater which fills the whole bathtub without running out of hot water. I used to have an old tank unit but it was giving me so much trouble that I changed it out for the tankless one, which works so much better and gives me more room in my back porch where the tank used to be. I have a good electric heating unit in my water heater which uses very little power to heat the water to a point of nearly boiling. I just need to be careful when doing dishes or I can scald my hands with the hot water. I don’t have any kids so that isn’t an issue with the very hot water. I plan on going to the local contractor today to talk to them about servicing my HVAC system because it is almost summer and I want to make sure it is all set up for cooling the flat.
