If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. It may seem like you can get out of the kitchen, but there’s no way out. Eventually, the heat will find you in another room.
As long as you are in bodily form, the heat is on. That’s the friction of life. You’re in bed, snug as a bug, but you’ve got to get up. If you stay in bed, you’ll get bedsores, stave to death, or get so uncomfortable you can’t help but get up. Getting up will be your savior, but once it was your curse.
I have a friend with lots of medical problems. She is sedentary and sits in a chair all day watching television. She complains of aching joints and muscles, yet moving around is too difficult. She’s stuck, or so it seems. Her freedom would be in moving, getting into the kitchen and getting some heat on. That’s the current, the alternating electricity that powers you, the back and forth of AC/DC. That’s the friction, the rub, so to speak. If you move back, you eventually must move forth.
Break a sweat, lift something, stretch, and move. The inertness will get to you. You really have no choice, the kitchen will heat up. To escape is an exercise in futility. The heat follows you, whether you’re in the kitchen, the living room, or in bed. So if it’s going with you, why not cook something? Why not make use of that heat? Too many of us are trying to escape it, trying to get out of the kitchen because we think we can’t take it. Oh, you’ll take it alright. You’ll take it with you into whatever room you flee. You can take the heat because there’s no way to separate it from the kitchen or any other room you choose to occupy. Come on, cook something!
