sunburn hurts


Last Friday my hubby and I went fishing. We did not plan to go fishing on that day. It was an eleventh hour decision made by my husband. We were supposed to go fishing last Thursday but something more important came up. Since it was not planned, we went fishing late. It was almost ten o'clock in the morning by the time we got out. We went straight to the spot his brother recommended for crappie fishing. It did not take that long before my hubby and I found the spot.
We anchored the boat and my hubby started catching fish one right after another while I was not catching anything. I got jealous so he began teaching me how to catch crappies at this particular site. I was getting annoyed because he talked and talked. It felt like a never ending sermon. I knew I had lost my touch since I had not been fishing much lately. When I finally started to take his advice I started catching fish. Soon I was catching up with him.
It was really a nice day for fishing. The lake was calm and the sun was out. It was very warm and I felt like I was at home in my native Philippines. My hubby and I both got sunburned and his was worse because of his light complexion. But he put on aloe vera lotion and his got better. When I finally decided to take his advice mine got better too. Maybe I should take his advice more often .
Drink lots of water and find some of that sunburn aloe/cooling gel stuff. It initially cools the area (when you blow on it), but then dries off and alleviates the pain. When your skin starts peeling, get dampen your hands, sprinkle with some sugar crystals and rub to remove the dead skin.
