ouch

yesterday i spent the entire day (on my day off) helping my mom in the yard. it was a great day, about 80 degrees, but not hot. i'm so sunburned...very very very bad. it hurts majorly and nothing seems to help. it's not fun. it doesn't make sleeping easy at all. and i haven't felt good all day today. i think i have sun poisoning. and after all these years, you think i'd learn by now that it is necessary to apply sunscreen every 2 hrs or i look like a tomato. i guess i'll tuck that knowledge away for next time. i've been applying aloe like crazy. i think the peeling will be inevitable, but i'm trying to keep it moisturized. but seriously, anyone know any tricks to get rid of the sting?

I once had a sunburn so bad that I alternated frozen t-shirts and aloe with lidacaine (a narcotic) 24/7 for about 3 days... I didn't sleep it was so bad

well...i got some solarcaine for sunburns. but that didn't help much. nothing has really helped much except for noxzema. it releives the pain temporarily, but not for long amounts of time. i've felt pretty nauseous all day. so bad in fact, that i didn't go to work today. it sucks.
