The best/worst thing about summer


Mason and Bama and I decided today that the only way we could really expect to get any studying done was to go to the beach.  Oddly enough, we got a hell of a lot more studying done on the beach than I have managed to on any other afternoon, when I am at home and distracted by snacks and the internet.

If only I hadn’t missed that one damned patch on the side of my neck when I put on sunscreen, it would have been the best day ever.  Instead, I  have a really irritated, small yet oddly-shaped red mark on my upper left neck- sort of like I’ve been nuzzling a hedgehog.

Studying at the beach- so awesome, and yet not.

    Milk. I swear to god. It does like four days of sunburn repair work in ten minutes. Pour some milk in a bowl or dish (I used regular milk), dip a washcloth in it, ring it out, put the washcloth on your neck. You’ll feel like you smell like cheerios for a little while, but there’s something about the way the enzymes go into your skin that does a lot of healing. Milk. It really does do the body good.

    Who is this Bama person? I’m intrigued. Tell me more.
