A shorter way of saying it would be, “I have to find an apartment to rent for the summer…”

I think I can take the cold if I know there’s the chance to jump back in warm water soon afterward.

Perfect perfect perfect! “If all else fails, there’s always pizza” or in your case ordering Japanese food. Great example

Then I thought: I can make a risotto or pasta, but if all else fails,
I order Japanese food, which everyone likes

I love SPA-s and sauna’s so is kind of part of the routine, but I never was hard enough to sit in 4-5 degree water for too long. In Austria where we were last December it was quite great to step out from sauna and go outside to the snowy mountainside put some snow to yourself 🙂

You’re brave! When talking about something you’re considering, you can say, “I’m seriously thinking of taking my first cold plunge” or “…thinking about taking my first…”

My apartment have a bathroom with a tub. I’m thinking to full the tub with water and put ice until the temperature decreases to 15 °C. I think tat this procedure isn’t bad. I think that this Cold plunge brigs me more good things that bad things.
