Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Oh glorious sunshine! Ouch.

I am hungry, but the kitchen pantry and fridge is pretty much empty – and what is left requires cooking. On a day like this standing in front of the stove is not a favorable prospect. So I ate an eggo muffintop. Still heated, but not requiring much time in the kitchen. (But still hungry. I think I need to buy some groceries.)

We went to the waterpark today. I have lived here full time since 2005 and part-time since 2002…. and yet this is the first time I have been to the waterpark at Six Flags. It was a great day! You really can’t get better than rides and water at the same time. The only disappointment was that I wanted more water time… too much time spent standing in the sun waiting in line.

Which leads me to… sunscreen. Works great. It takes me from oh-my-god-crispy down to pink-will-definitely-get-more-freckles. Except… I forgot the back of my knees. Ohhhh yeah. I am laying in bed in the air conditioned bedroom and I can feel the sheets against the back of my legs rather like sandpaper. This is going to take a little while to recover. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize and hope I don’t peel.

This was, of course, the first really hot day all year. Perfect day for the water park, other than the “everyone else has the same idea” thing. I had hoped that the threat of thunderstorms would keep people at home, but apparently everyone else is optimistic like I am. (And rightly so – it was a fucking gorgeous day. Hot, as we discovered when we left the water park. Water is a beautiful, beautiful thing.)

Oh yeah, and I start lupron tomorrow. Hopefully my mood does not get worse – I am not sure husband can handle worse than the fly-off-the-handle drama queen that I have been lately.

    Oh no! Being sun-burnt behind your knees is TORTURE. I had it once, and it was bad. I walked around like an old woman for about a week. Every time I pulled my pants down, skin came off with them. I was like a snake :-)

    Oh man, that freaking SUCKS. I’ve had burns like that, and they are horrid. You poor woman!

  3. An eggo muffintop? Not sure what that is, but I’m sure I could find out on google. Sounds like you’re saying “egg on muffin” but in some sort of Irish dialect. Yummo.

    Wishing you well on the Lupron…hard to have one’s hormones messed with so much!
