I have a sunburn that creates the natural look of clothing. As if I were wearing a bright white capped sleeve shirt, and my arms were naturally pink. I look quite silly. I have never been able to understand why my nose burns within minutes of exposure to the sun. It's not like it is that much closer to the sun.
I am slightly dehydrated, and I just woke up from an hour nap. Today, I biked home from Pilsen (about 6 miles) to try and beat the rain. I was riding a cruiser, so I went as fast as that little bike's heart desired. I stopped at a garage sale in Ukrainian Village, in which I spent a dollar on a new big puffy hat, two blue mugs and a shirt. As soon as I hit Wicker Park and was on my way down Milwaukee, it was down pouring. I was soaked from head to toe as soon as I arrived home, but the rain felt good on my sunburn.
Yesterday was the first good day in a few days. Besides that day when I drank Brass Monkeys with Akili, which was a good night to be accounted for. I drew a picture of the "Redneck Mimosas" and I will be happy to post it on here as soon as I get it scanned.
So yesterday, I woke up around 9:30 and went to Amanda's house. We got ready for our bike ride down to Navy Pier. The sun felt so wonderful. We stopped at Fox and Obel for some coffee, and stepped outside to see The Produce Wonder of the World. Amanda and I both agreed that she can try to date him, but I will be the one who will have the affair with him. We giggled at our plots to take over the produce boy.
We walked over to Trader Joe's to get some goodies, a sushi platter, cheese, salad, bananas... and walked back to the pier. We sat by the rocks, and ate our food. There was this raccoon struggling in the rocks, and we tried to befriend her by throwing food her way.
Yesterday felt wonderful, and I felt less sad.
I want to feel like how I did yesterday more often in my near future.
