Crispy, on toast

[aceofkittens]

So, I got sunburned on Monday and today is the first day I can touch the afflicted areas without screaming, crying out in pain, and generally carrying on like a pathetic girly girl. I swear to God, my legs swelled up from this burn. Now I'm waiting for the hardened leather carapace to slough off and reveal the pink, soft skin underneath.

In the meantime, I keep looking at my legs and seeing all these moles I don't remember ever seeing before. And thinking back to my disgusting mole story. I just have to wonder when one of these new moles is going to turn on me. It's only a matter of time!

I'm in massive avoidance mode right now, but I guess I can't claim that's anything new. I'm thinking morbid thoughts & wishing it was next weekend already.

Wake me up when it is, ok? Ok.

That is all.

Owie! I feel your pain. I got badly sunburnt this summer for the first time in years--got engrossed in the first HP novel on the beach and lay there flat on my stomach, roasting without sunscreen for six hours--and had to take painkillers to get to sleep at nights.

It wasn't without compensations though--I'd completely forgotten what absorbing fun it is to peel off the skin when it starts flaking! The dermatological equivalent to navel-gazing! *g*

Mm... peelings...nothing more than peelings...

Yes, I am hoping that it will peel dramatically... but I think it's so badly burned that it may hurt too much to pick at it.

It's sort of starting to flake just a little already! :)
