Just a whiney little vent

OK, I don't like summer. Never claimed otherwise. This morning is a good example of why.

Get up, shower. Get out of shower, decide with the insanely hot weather expected today (yes, 96 is insanely hot for this area. Shaddup) to go ultra-casual and wear shorts.
Now, my coloring is not happy in direct sunlight. Combine this iwht the BIG wanring on one of my meds to avoid direct sunlight, and sunblock is a requirement. The smell of summer is sunblock, and I hate the smell of sunblock.
So, I start to put it on, and *immediately* start sweating.

Remind me again why I bothered with a shower?

I really like the REI sunblock. It's a bit expensive, but I can't smell it and it doesn't feel greasy.

hey 96 is hot anywhere....try sunblocking clothing instead???

and i did find a nonscented sunblock this year - just keep looking and the sticks are less smelly than the liquidy ones...

The clothing won't help protect my face :}.

Don't dare me to drag out that sunbonnet pattern...

(Really-- does your insurance cover medical devices? I've been living in my Solumbra shirt this past week.)

Dunno. Your man has the same insurance. Does it cover medical devices? ;)

Sweetling, penguins and seagulls both have wings, but you have medical insurance and a doctor and actually get up into the air on a regular basis.
