G’day mates! Top of the mornin’ to ya!
I know, I know. A bit too chipper for a cold and crappy day
huh? Well, it doesn’t have to be
horrible. Wanna know why? Cause’ I’m a cheater. Yep. You heard it here. I
cheat. And you can be a cheater too!
I am having a halfway decent day because I made a rewarmable
(I think I just made up that word but go with it) heat pad! So I can just
reheat it as needed. Yep. That was the word I was looking for! Reheatable!
Okay. Spell check doesn’t like that word either. Oh well. Moving on!
Want to know how to make one for yourself? You don’t need to
twist my arm or put me in a head lock. Here you go:
Get one long (preferably clean) tube sock and fill up 2/3 of
it with white rice. (You can get this in bulk fairly inexpensively at Winco) Do
not over pack the sock. You want the rice to be movable/moldable. To wrap
around whatever you are needing it. Tie off the top or knot it and voila! Done.
Now pop that sucker in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes and
then wrap it around your aches and pains. Bam! I am now top on your list for
Christmas huh? Your welcome!
Please be smart about it. Test a small area first. Make sure
you don’t burn the tar off your feathers. All microwaves are different so times
above are just a guess. Go with what works for you.
Another fabulous idea (if I do say so myself!) is to add
some dried lavender in the there or douse a bit of essential oil on the rice
for a bit of added aromatherapy. And if you chose a dirty sock, well, you might
be experiencing a different kind of aromatherapy anyway. I recommend a clean
sock. But that’s just me.
Warm moist heat is wonderful for stiff joints and muscles.
Arthritis afflicts many of us so I hope you can use this cheap and inexpensive
trick. Have a delightful day!
