A good beer or glass of wine for sure. Not this month though as I'm doing a dry January to cut back some after too much drinking the past couple of months.
Most of these sound really uncomfortable, or require something uncomfortable in order to make the other bit seem comfortable. I guess napping is the least uncomfy one here.
Just felt this one today and it was amazing: stepping outside into the freezing cold after a hard work out and overheating at the gym.
I felt this a few months back in the fall too when I overlayered, bought a hot coffee, started drinking, started sweating, went to drink my coffee outside. WHOOSH! That feel of cold fresh air against sweaty hot skin. I love it. Now I know why the Finnish do the whole sauna then jump naked into the snow thing.
I'm in physical therapy, some of which is in the pool. Every pool session at the very end, I'm given 5 minutes to "hang," which is to lie limp in the water with my limbs, head, and torso supported by floatation devices. It's like being weightless and about the closest to pain-free I get, and it's wonderful.
Of these, a good poop. One I love that is a bit more complicated, but no less mundane, is a good purge of clutter/crap in my apartment. I sometimes get in moods where I look around and realize I have way too much useless shit, and there is no better feeling than throwing away/donating a couple solid bags of stuff you don't need to make your place feel cleaner. I have a lot of problems, but hoarding isn't one of them.
When you're holding in a big shit, you might also be holding in a huge piss, so it's double whammy. Like checkerboard ice cream, two different kinds of good all rolled together. Great on a hot day.
Dumping ass after you need to shit real bad that you start to really feel your intestines fill with shit and then that brief milisecond of bliss and enlightenment when you finally take a dump is life affirming. Better than sex honestly.
I love hot showers in general. They're amazingly relaxing and I have time to myself to think when I'm not distracted by other things. So I'm gonna go with that.
I can't nap, it's sleep or no sleep with me, but nothing beats relaxing in the warm sun.
Hot shower on a cold day is nice, but when you know it's fucking cold out there and you're just wasting hot water hiding away from a miserable winter, the whole thing feels sad.
