Sunburn

Finally some time off from work again since I got back to Australia.. Came back on Saturday 22nd of November and I have been working since then :( (sort off). Have had 2 days off since then. So yesterday I went to the pool to try to get a tan.. Because I am having a hard time to get tanned legs I brought reef oil and sun cream with me.. But stupid as I am sometimes, I didn't just put the oil on my legs, no I put it on my arms without thinking about it.. So now I have this beautiful red colour (makes me look like a lobster) on my arms and it stings like hell. I have put wet towels on my arms and some aloe vera (I've heard that it helps against burns) but nothing helps. Woke up 7:30 this morning because of it.. And to make matters worse, I saw an advertising on tv yesterday about skin cancer where they said that the colour on your arms that you get from being in the sun is actually dead cells in your arms that are growing in to the veins and travels around the body until it becomes skin marks.. Those skin marks are the dangerous ones that very much often becomes skin cancer... hmmmmmm.. Very funny.. Talk about karma.. I wanted a tan but got a sign about skin cancer, after I got burned!!!!!!! I want to be tanned, but after this there will be no more reef oil for me.. I will only use the sun cream.. Ok, lets be realistic, the people who knows me will know that I will continue to use the reef oil (yes, I'm an idiot), but only on my legs.. And I will apply it after I have been so good and applied sun cream on the rest of my body..

But I wanted to go to the pool today, guess that's out of the question.. So what does a girl do when she doesn't have anything else to do? I think I will go to the bookstore and buy myself a good book and lock myself inside.... Life is great sometimes....
