the sun is evil
me on monday afternoon. even in bad, dim lighting the contrast is shocking.
the sun is evil. i repeat, the sun is evil. i've never gotten this badly burned in my life and i swear to god you never again will catch me in the sun without sunscreen or without being covered up in clothing for anymore than 45 minutes (and even that 45 minutes will only be after 5pm when the sun's not at its most powerful). my chest began to peel yesterday...so naturally i helped peel off the dead skin. bad idea...skin underneath is SUUUUUUPER sensitive and immediately dried out, becoming tight and leathery. ugh, gross. then all of the hundreds of tiny blisters on my shoulders began to heal by seeping this puss-like fluid and drying to a crusty scab stage. disgusting. i've been soaking in the bath with baking soda in it the past three nights. first night, half hour on each side (on my side because i couldn't fill the water up enough to cover my chest when i laid down). second night, same. tonight...45 minutes each side. course then i was a rocket scientist and when i took a shower i lathered up my hand and then tried to gently wash my chest. about 10 seconds later my chest skin started tightening up and it started puffing up on the left side. seriously, ouch so much pain. now that i'm out of the tub/shower my skin is starting to dry and going back to that lovely leathery look. :-( ugh, i feel like i've got old lady skin right now. not fair. oh and the back of my neck began to peel too. that was the most disgusting and painful of all. big flakes of skin just barely left attached and a big, big blister that has dried out. so if i stretch it when i move my head down it hurts, when i put my head up it scrunches up and hurts and when i'm driving anywhere and need to check my blind spot...oh god, intense pain. hahaha speaking of driving...since my shoulders are still tight...i'm driving like a granny where when turning my hands stay at 3 and 9 and i shuffle the wheel through my hands. honestly, i've learned my lesson. now i'm just hoping to god that my previous lack of sun mixed with this one seriously deep burn doesn't equal skin cancer later in my life.
oh and somehow i majorly bruised my boob!?!? it looks like someone just clamped onto the sucker as if it were for dear life...only i know that nobody has...how odd.
