Between a stomach bug and bad sunburn crafting has come to a temporary halt as I lie in bed and frequently 'water' myself to prevent my very red skin from drying out. My stomach should be better within the next day or so, so I'm not too worried about that. The sunburn however...
On a good day, my skin is pale enough to rival a fresh box of printer paper. Then yesterday I unexpectedly found myself outside for 4 or 5 hours (read: completely unprepared and sunscreen-free). While I'm (thankfully) not blistering, I'm still pretty red, and while it doesn't hurt as much as it could (I'm either used to it or fried all my nerve endings long ago) my skin's still pretty sensitive. I can play with yarn a little bit, but can't, for instance, try on sleeves or anything like that. Moreover, the inside of my elbows are burned too and that actually hurts, limiting mobility for other crafts.
I'm debating calling in sick tomorrow, but I'm not the kind of sick where I could stay in bed all day. If I can't sleep but can't do anything else either, I'd be bored out of my mind. Let's see what tomorrow brings...
