The rash

I was a bit foolish this week and didn’t really take any precautions from the sunlight. I even spent about 45 minutes underneath a cloudy sky eating lunch on Friday. It caught up with me.

Yesterday afternoon on into the evening left my forearms and neck broken out in that old familiar rash. My lips have gotten in on the action too. Although since moving back to Huntsville one part of them seems to be in permablister mode any way. Another new twist is the right side of my face around my eye. This showed up after enduring sandstorms in the Moroccan Sahara. I guess the sand blasting removed some protective layer of skin around my eye. My hands aren’t having any problems. I guess they’ve completed their Spring “molting” from the semi-constant exposure to sunlight.

It’s all so embarrassing not looking like everyone else. Thankfully right now it’s not that bad. I can venture out into public without too much anxiety. It just burns and itches and irritates as my clothes rub against my skin. Listening: High - Skalpel
