The things I do for content..

Today, that was getting sunsick. Emerson and I went to a bookshop downtown after our original plans fell through, and I got…kind of irradiated making a video while I was waiting for him to finish up inside.

I have to be awake at 10 AM tomorrow for writer’s group and I did not nap today like a fool.

Pray for me, if you’re into that. If you’re not, send me good energy, I guess.

I need to shut my eyes now. I am so, so tired..

I feel like I didn’t do much today because I got FUCKING SUNSICK. AGAIN.

My face fucking went numb in the process as well. Can the universe stop with this bullshit already??? This summer is gonna suuuuck if this keeps happening..

The temperatures for the next couple of days look like fun, especially Wednesday... NOT!!! 🥵 Looks like I'll be going full-on ninja. 🥷

My desk shades arrived!!! :D

They make SO much of a difference! No eyestrain, no headache, no sunburn on my face from the UV of the fluorescent lights and the sun coming in the giant wall of windows...

Not a bad view...

If only I could go out there without dressing like a beekeeper.!

This might be my new favorite photo of me.

It was taken today at the conference.

It is of me (the left pair of legs in black slacks) and one of the people at the conference (the person on the right whose hair is also showing) who also has the same sun issues that I do.

During the afternoon, the sliding glass wall was opened up, and sincw the venue faces west, at some point, the parasols came out.

I finally got to go swimming! In a body of water that I couldn't see the other side of!

There were some kids playing in the waves nearby, and one of them asked me why I was dressed like this. I told him that I am an alien to your planet and I am hiding my identity. He said, "Cool!" and hopped into the next wave.

HELLO, EARTH PEOPLE. I AM IN YOUR ARIDZONA. I LOOK LIKE NORMAL HUMAN, YES?

The worst thing about my condition (#pmle) is that I have to dress this way even though it is over 100° F, outside.

It sucks so much. This is why I am so gleeful when I get to be in a place that is cold. Because I'll still wear the same amount of clothing!

It is now late enough that the sun is getting kind of low, so I think I'm going to put on my burkini and hit the pool, finally.
