Sauna heat raises the heart rate

 

Monday

I got up after 7:30, having slept well. I took supplements and got ready for the day. I practiced, then picked two hymns and scanned them. I cleaned up the copy and printed them out. I made more breakfast mix.

I was headed out to clean when I spotted the cooler with milk and eggs. So I brought it in. I poured out half of the milk for Michelle. I heated the other half and put some LAB in it. I put it in the dehydrator to cure.

I went to 650, hoping to finish it. But two hours later, there was still the kitchen floor and laundry room to deal with. I went home for breakfast, stopping at 403 to drop off some cleaning supplies.

I read outside for a bit. I ate breakfast while reading e-mail. Later I went back to 650 to finish cleaning and clear out the rest of my cleaning supplies. I took them to 403. I spent over an hour cleaning in the kitchen there.

I went home to heat supper and eat while clearing more messages. I hoped to relax before band, but the break just wasn't long enough. Chris came home and I went to the chapel for band.

Keli already had the chapel open. Everyone was setting up. I went to the bathroom and then assembled my trombone. We played the hymns, and some extras, then some Broadway tunes. Wilhelm decided he liked playing snare. We particularly worked on When The Saints.  My lip ran out and I dismissed them.  I turned out the lights, locked the door, and stopped on the way home to get the mail.

I read e-mail and messages. Steve called to talk about helping a friend, and maybe have me clean parts of his apartment. I posted to my blog. I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds.  Then I separated the curds from the whey and put both in the fridge.

 I got ready to use the sauna. Chris went to bed. I turned it on and spent at least half an hour, sweating really well and soaking 8 washcloths. Then I got out and turned it off. I wiped my skin down. I hung the washcloths up to dry out. I dried out the sauna and went to bed. But I didn't sleep for hours. Turns out sauna use raises the heartrate. Huh.
