It's after midnight, and it feels like it is at least 80 degrees in this room. I could convince myself that this could be seen as practice for the weather to come. I've heard a few things about the weather in the region I will be staying - my dad was the first one to point out to me that July is part of the monsoon season in India. I was also told that due to my being located in the foothills (of the Himalayas!) the heat will be milder than in the Plains regions below. The heat in Sacramento is dry. Some say that it is much worse than heat with humidity. I, for one, have never experienced the wrath of a truly humid climate. And what wimpy humidity I have felt, I did not like. I am not one much for the whole sweaty, sticky feeling.
I've been enjoying one of my self-imposed adaptive-training routines: bucket bathing. I was told that showers would have to be three minutes max, and my hair, alone, can take five. So I felt that this option would be more practical. I don't know why, perhaps it is the novelty, but the ritual of bathing has become much more of a pleasant and calming experience for me than the regular tedious showers have been. I also feel less guilty about taking my time because I am not wasting nearly as much water as before. I am not quite sure, but i think the bucket holds between 1-2 gallons.
*Mental note: see average water consumption during shower*
I feel that this might become a new, permanent, thing for me.
