Sigh. Still tired. And I turned out to have gotten a sunburn yesterday after all. Just the back of my neck was burned. Today I covered up everything but my face, which was shaded by my hat and also the edges of my windbreaker hood whenever I wasn't under trees. You'll note that I was wearing an oversize black windbreaker while it was nearly 80 degrees out. And I think I might have still burned a little of my chin and nose.
It's starting to look like I'm not going to be able to go backpacking in two weeks. I'm super pissed. DeLee and I haven't gotten out on a trip since May, as far as I can remember. If I feel well enough it's going to kill me to stay indoors because of my stupid photosensitivity. I'm hoping for either A) torrential rain, or B) a severe cold snap. I wouldn't burn in the rain, and I could bundle up in a cold snap. Although I'm not sure DeLee would like to hike in the rain.
I'm awaiting Amazon's press release (or whatever they call it these days) tomorrow so I can figure out if I'm buying the current version of the Kindle or whatever it is they're announcing. However I visited the library tonight to pick up more books. I'm tired of rereading old copies of Backpacker to help me get to sleep at night.
Speaking of which, I tried melatonin last night and I slept like a veritable baby. On a bed of feathers. And not those pokey feathers either, the nice soft ones. I had JD pick some up at the store for me and I'm doing it again tonight. It turns out you *can* buy sleep that good.
I found out this morning that there's a fellow in California who is making Lyme supplements containing all the herbs and stuff one would normally take (cat's claw, resveratrol, andrographis, et al) in one capsule. He calls it Lyme-Aid which makes me chuckle because it sounds like a summery beverage. Yuks aside I'm planning to get some because I wouldn't mind taking fewer pills every morning.
