Today I had a very long day in lab and when I finally got home, I also had a lot of work on the computer. I decided I didn't want the entire day to be about that, so I got an idea!
In the cold and pitch dark outside, there was something nice and warm - a hot tub by the pool. I once tried it during a moderately warm day and the water seemed REALLY HOT! So during a cold and dark evening after a long cool day, it should be perfect! Khmm, right?! ... WROOOONG!

I went outside with my swimming suite and easy-to-remove clothing and sandals. I dipped my toe in the water and I realized I had made a huge miscalculation in my theory! As it turns out, when you dip your freezing purple toes in "really uncomfortably hot" water, the water feels REALLY BLOODY BOILING!

So in stead I swam a couple of laps in the previously "uncomfortably cold" but now "really nice and warmer than air" pool and decided it was okay to go back inside.
