A Balance of Harmonies: Party, part 2

I am so tired. My next real day off isn’t until Thursday and my last one was a week ago last Monday. I wrote this chapter while talking to my mom who was over for the week.

And for some reason my face feels like it’s burned when I put on sunscreen (to keep it from actually being burned), I’ve tried several different kinds now and the least painful one just makes my eyes water like I’ve been exposed to fumes. So I went out to buy a lotion with sunscreen, in hopes that would be gentler and I had the chose between a gentle one and one used to treat redness. I didn’t have any redness, so I bought the slightly cheaper one. Only this morning in my shower I used my face wash like I’ve used hundreds of times before and my face burned and has continued to hurt more than fifteen hours later. And my cheeks are red.

When I got home from work, I put on the new lotion on one side of my face, just in case it hurt me too, which it did, but oddly the lotioned side hurt less (but still hurt) a half an hour later. So I guess I should have bought the slightly more expensive stuff. Only I don’t want to go back and buy the other bottle. This stuff already cost twice as much as sunscreen. That would be like doubling the price again. And I’m not sure it would soothe anything. Plus I should be saving up for a standing air conditioner. The apartment is getting new windows next month and window a/c units void the windows’ warranty. Just in time for the hottest months of the year.
