I'm finally about to leave the house.

I'm finally about to leave the house.  The sun is less up, so I'm barely even sad about it.  LOL, but it's not really funny.  😕

I just spent some time on Amazon ordering things to sunblock my car.  They have this weird mesh thing I can put on my door to block the sun, but still have my windows down.  It might look weird, but I am beyond caring about that right now.  If they turn out to not be crap I'll order some for my back windows, too.  It would be a nice way to have the windows down with the dogs in the car, but I wouldn't have to worry about them jumping out.  (I know, doggie seatbelts, but I don't think any of mine would like that.)  Also, tinting my windows or putting a film on them is not out of the question, but for now I need sun protection even when my windows are down.  I'm going to be thinking about those things and trying to figure out my best options.

I also got a clingy thing that I'm going to cut and put at the top of my windshield.  I am entirely too short for a visor or the tinted part of the windshield to always make a difference.  Still might get a visor extender thing, but not right now.  It was surprisingly expensive compared to the other stuff I bought.

Also, there is a difference between sunscreen and sunblock.  I didn't know that.  But now I have a highly-rated tube of Blue Lizard Moisturizing Facial Sunblock coming my way.  All of these things should be here on Friday.  My driving gloves and my hat should be here tomorrow.  Maybe by the weekend I can leave the house without getting sick!  A girl can dream...

I finally slept last night.

I finally slept last night.  I slept late, but I needed it.  I still don't feel great.  My head hurts despite the Ibuprofen I took when I got up.  I still have chills.  My eyes hurt.  I still feel tired and run down.  I'm also getting close to tears just thinking about going outside.  I desperately don't want to!  I don't even feel all the way better and I'm afraid that I'll be sent back into migraine / nausea territory for going back out.  🙁

Shaun brought over his new sun block, so I will slather that on and hope it works.

I ordered some UV protection gloves on Amazon last night.  Also, a big floppy hat with the fabric that hangs over your neck.  They will both be here tomorrow.  I might look crazy when I leave the house from now on, but I don't care as long as I don't get sick.

Anyway.  Wish me luck.  I don't think I can hide inside my house forever, unfortunately.  🙁

I don't know if I will make it out of the house tomorrow. 🙁

I don't know if I will make it out of the house tomorrow. 🙁 I still feel like utter shit. I have every light in the house off and I'm on the couch with Shadow. I've put The Office in the Xbox. Maybe I can sleep and feel better, but I'm not holding my breath.

Shaun is talking about taking me on a date to the doctor. We'll see. I might give in if I don't feel better soon.

I'm not having a great day.

I'm not having a great day.

Made an 87 on my first biology test.  That was WITH being able to use notes for part of it.  Seriously, shoot me now.

Not only that, but here is a thing that's been building for a couple of weeks:  I'm sick.  The sun is trying to kill me.  🙁

Literally - I'm wearing long sleeves and pants, as usual.  I've also been sunblocking my hands and face and neck with SPF 100, but my face and neck are all itching on the left side and my left hand IS BLISTERING UP.  My lips are also slightly sunburned even though I used SPF whatever lip balm.  All of this is from DRIVING and the few minutes it takes me to get from parking lots to inside buildings.  Since I'm going so many places right now I guess it's adding up and I'm not having a chance to feel better before I get more sun.  🙁  I just took some Excedrin Migraine to head off what I have come to know as being sick from too much sun.  I'm itchy, I have a fever and chills, and a terrible headache.  I am miserable and I don't know what to do.

I know this sounds crazy, but just as when I'm around smokers and my face gets itchy I feel that way in the sunlight.  I can feel it on me and trying to get inside me.  I hate it and it makes me want to hide and sometimes I feel like just crying if I can't get away from it.

Shaun bought me gloves last night to drive with and I rode around with my hood on my jacket up today, despite the heat.  I have no A/C in my car (well, I do, but it makes my car run hot and not work, so I can't use it), so that's not super fun.  Shaun mentioned that he saw some cheap window tint at Wal-Mart.  If it blocks UV, I'm buying it.  Aside from that I'm at a loss as to what to do.  I've always been sensitive to the sun, but this is by far the worst I've ever been affected.

If any of you have some clever suggestions as to how I can survive this summer, please tell me what to do.  I know this is probably not normal, but I don't have health insurance anymore, so going to the doctor is not likely going to happen.  Thanks in advance.

This turned out much more subtle than I intended...

This turned out much more subtle than I intended, but overall I'm not mad at it.  This was my first try at a radial gradient and I guess my colors (holo pink and holo purple) were so similar that you almost can't tell them apart.  😕  Also, you can't really see the fade because of the print I stamped on there, so I may as well have saved myself the trouble of sponging the colors on there.  But I didn't, so I guess I got some practice in.  LOL

I'm not usually one to make all of my nails the same, so this is rare.  I think I was too tired to be creative enough to put together a theme.  I just honestly REALLY REALLY wanted to do my nails and try something new.  Mission Accomplished.  😃

Stamps on point thanks to my new stamper - The Big Bling by Clear Jelly Stamper.  If you are new to stamping and having issues with lining up / centering your stamps, or finding a good stamper that picks up well, I'd say definitely give this one a shot.  It's super clear and so squishy that I had a much easier time stamping my entire nail.  My C curve is strong enough that I usually have to roll, and ain't nobody got time for that!

My dad and his other daughter...

My dad and his other daughter - a stray that came to his house and never left. 🙂 Happy Father's Day! ❤

As many of you know it's been a rough year for dad, but he's doing ok, thankfully.

Scooter hasn't been licking the floor since starting his antacid.
