long, hot showers are good. running out of hot water in less than *ten* minutes is not.

i can take a quick shower. i can be sudsed, shampooed, conditioned, and rinsed in less than five minutes. today was supposed to be a 15-20 minute luxury where i was letting my head and shoulders decompress and drain and relax.

and we haven't used any hot water in the last several hours... no dishwashing, no laundry, a bit of hand-washing, i suppose.

it helped a little. more heat would've been nice.

Cold showers are good for your skin and hair, but nothing beats a warm bath with bubbles!!!!

Yeah, i like to finish up a shower with a cold blast, but i really wanted some hot, high pressure water beating down on my neck. i suppose i could go to the gym and sit in the hot tub, but i've been headachy and dizzy and probably shouldn't mess with my blood pressure too much. i think i'll settle for tea/coffee/cocoa down at the corner with folks.

sweetie, stay away from coffee and tea if you still have symptoms of influenza! very icky for you! hot chocolate is not so good, but not so dehydrating.

no, the flu is gone, along with the drugs and the happy corticosteroids (evil, but they make my everyday stuff go byebye).

now i'm back to good old CFIDS and fibro.

thank you, though. :)
