(Not) Feeling the Burn

What with the somewhat variable weather over here in Charleston at the moment, it can be quite tricky figuring out what to wear - basically in case it's either unseasonably warm (as it has been from time to time of late) or absolutely pissing it down (raining heavily - for any of our US cousins reading this). Thus, it was rather my own fault that i ended up getting rather red in the face this weekend - quite literally - having spent a (i thought) relatively short amount of time in the sun, it appeared to have taken issue with my skin and turned it a nice shade of red. Personally, i blame the fact that i'm not really used to it yet. Admittedly, whilst i was here for all of last summer, a good deal of it was spent under factor 50 sun block and even then, the only exposure i had to the sun was going to and from work, and the occasions when i would be out playing soccer. Of course, with it still being (technically) winter over here, i hadn't got round to buying a cap yet either.

I guess unexpected sunburn is the curse of having a relatively active weekend - what with time on Saturday and today playing softball (practice on Saturday, game on Sunday - by the way, we won this week!). Then of course, there was the hour or two playing soccer on Saturday as well. I suppose it was hard to differentiate between sunburn and basically being red in the face from running around. Suffice to say, i realised fully when i got home and lifted up my (shorter) fringe to see something of a stark contrast. Looks like i have the joy of a peeling forehead and nose to look forward to this week. I cannot wait!
