Sunblock is generally a good idea when you’re going to be out in the sun. I know this. I’ve known this for years. However, the actual application of said sunblock seems to escape me every single time. Thusly, after over 3 hours out in the beating, boiling sun for a football game, I am now … LOBSTER GIRL! That’s right, my face is beet red. It doesn’t hurt, however. I’m really lucky in that respect. My ear hurts, I will say that much. Probably because I didn’t put lotion on it when I got home. I put moisture therapy lotion on my burn when I got home (I have no aloe, dammit) and it helped immensely.
The game was good, and fun. We lost, but it was the season opener, so it’s not surprising. This week is shaping up to be a semi-busy one. I’m looking forward to it. Tomorrow is Bowling, Monday might be “Old Home Days” if I feel up to it, Wednesday is “Remembering Van Etten”, Saturday is Van Etten Festival. I have a few other things on tap, but they’re later on. And for clarification, since I was asked, I’ll give a quickie guide to places I have mentioned or may mention.
Van Etten is the town where I grew up
Spencer is the next town over from Van Etten
Lockwood is where I currently live
Waverly, Sayre and Athens (aka The Valley) is where I spend quite a bit of time. It’s also where Rob works and some of my family lives
Other places I mention are Binghamton, Ithaca and Elmira – The 3 cities that are within driving distance.
Spencer-Van Etten was my high school and the school I root for.
Corning Community College (CCC) is the college I went to.
I’m exhausted. I am sunburnt beyond belief and it’s starting to bug me. I need to work on my website some. I’m tempted to set up a live chat on one of them, just for fun. I may also change my backend to joomla. I need to play around and see what I can do.
I can’t wait til Rob is gone to work so I can lay down. Hopefully, the burn won’t bug me too much. It hasn’t really hurt much so far.
