Entering the house provided little relief from the outside air. Tired from my exercise, I was eager to hop in a steaming, pleasant little shower. My eagerness rose even greater as I gazed at the water spewing from the faucet. Then, ahhhh...the feeling of the hot water on my skin was incredible. I guess when it’s cold, scalding water feels pretty normal. By the time my shower was over, the room was nearly a sauna. Unfortunately, stepping out was painful. As soon as the water stops, it feels like all the cold air suddenly rushes you at once and leaves you feeling more frigid than before. The breeze from the bathroom window nipped at my still wet hair. Maybe it was a sign that my grasp for warmth hadn’t been fully met. The shower was merely like when you desperately put a car’s heater to full blast to spread the warmth faster, to no avail. The real warming is sort of a slow process.
