Back from the beach

Jul 19, 2009 17:42

OBX was nice, had some decent weather, which means I have come home with some horrible burns..I can't manage to go to the beach with out burning a bit. Otherwise, it was a nice week of relaxing, watching the tide roll in and reading books =) I re-read Harry Potter 4-7 as a refresher for the movie, the new Lisa Kleypas modern fic, and the new Julia ( Read more... )

I'm sunburned too! Really really badly! It's been awhile since I've gotten burned. When does the agony stop?

Well, I got burnt last Tuesday, and the pain has finally gone away today...but that was on the worst of the burn, my other minor burns stopped hurting by Friday/Saturday. I HIGHLY recommend Banana Boat Sooth-a-Caine. It's this blue gel stuff with aloe in it. Feels fantastic and is helping to really heal the burn. Although anything with aloe in it should do the job.

So I was in a super amount of pain (read: had difficulty in any position but sitting in a chair) and could not really walk without crying until two nights ago when I tried filling a bathtub with room temperature water and coffee. Immediate relief! My face began to peel, my arms turned into a dark tan (which is so strange for me to be dark), and my legs stopped throbbing with the sensation my skin was being torn off. And! My legs turned from purple to regular sunburn neon pink-red.

Unfortunately, I was in Montreal when I contacted you and could not locate a drugstore with ease. Good to know coffee works because the aloe Harold sent with me did nothing.
