Burnt and sore..

Well our all day trip to the beach yesterday was fun, but I'm paying for it. It turns out even cloudy days with periods of sun can burn the hell out of you. I haven't posted in this because I couldn't. As of right now I'm still burnt pretty badly but I'm able to type ok. It's the moving of my arms that hurts so much. I have a few blisters due to the sun burn. I know that's awfully graphic, but it's nothing compared to how I felt last night when we got home. I didn't bring a change of clothes because I thought I wouldn't be going in the water. Turns out the trip didn't rain out as expected so I went in the water wearing the shorts I came in. After hours upon hours of being in soaking wet clothes (shorts, boxers) I finally got home and took them off. After the shower I began to shake. Like a shiver when you're cold, but worse. I was just shaking uncontrollably all night. I called out of my first night at the security job and out of work today at the part time one. This morning I wasn't shaking, but I was really nauseous and making frequent trips to the john. :) At the moment I'm just fried to a crisp. Other than that I'm good, I guess? Bottom line is next time I'll apply generous amounts of sun block and be in the water less. That's all.. until tomorrow.. --------
