Beach Day.

 

Fig A: Happy Susan frolics

Last weekend for the first time this entire summer I finally had the time and opportunity to spend a day at le beach.

 
Fig B: Observe as this wild Susan prances and splashes about in what looks to be some type of savage ritual dance. Extraordinary!

It was only after the entire day of gaiety and merriment had come to a close that I found that I had gotten completely sunburned on just one single patch of skin… my upper back.

Scumbag Sun: Makes you happy to gain your trust, 
burns you in the back when you least expect it.

Unfortunately for me, J would not be home for a week and thus the one patch of skin I burned expressly because I couldn’t reach to apply sunscreen on... I now couldn’t reach to put lotion on.

Fig D: Oh how it itches how it burns.

I did the best I could short of dislocating both shoulders and went to bed feeling sad and lonely that not a single helpful hand could be found to lotion my well-done upper back. Never have I ever missed J so very much as then.
