Rescheduling both my MS certification exams, mostly 'cos I"m not ready for either. One I'm going to have to pay for myself, 'cos I didn't get to reschedule it a full business day before and so it won't let me change my appointment for today. The other was free 'cos I gave them five days' notice.

Am okay with this. My own damn fault anyway.

Meanwhile, at work, recovering from sunburn incurred yesterday. Memo to self: BATHE IN SUNSCREEN BEFORE NEXT EVENT.

SARAH CONNOR BRAND SUNSCREEN.

Ouchie.

Feel better.

Yeah. I need to register for a couple of events this summer, just to keep myself on my toes, but the big thing is that I promised myself in January that I'd do a century by September.

TA New York has a century ride through four out of five boroughs on 10 September.

I intend to register tonight.

I have no problem believing you can do the hundred.

Just -- your helmet needs uv-protective film that covers your bike and your body.

I'm going to see if I can't find that CVS brand moisturizer that had SPF 15 in it and start using that on the body. Does Lush make any SPF products that you know of?

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

Good question. I don't get out in the sun enough to concern myself with sunblock mostly, but I can look.

I don't know that Lush does, but my favorite Sarah Connor level, yet generally responsible, sunscreen is made by No-AD--buyable at most drug/ickychain/etc stores, although as they Do Not Advertise, they also don't bribe for good shelf space; you'll have to look.

The SPF 45 bottle is blue, paler and greener than royal, not as green as teal/turquoise, with either a white or yellow cap and white letters.

If it keeps *my* moontanned face from turning into the Rise of the Lobster Queen after bopping around the Arizona -Sonora Desert Museum (http://www.desertmuseum.org/), elevation 2-ish thousand feet, sun: lots, saguaro: many, javelinas: cute, coyotes: hiding in shade like sensible canids) all day, it should be good for you in a bike race. Also, no ucky residue.

Now if anyone made a leave-in conditioner with reasonable SPF value, I would be a happy girl, 'cos sunburn on scalp? Sucks.

ouchy. good luck, chica.

don't know if this will help, or how easy it will be to find, but I'm white like a welshman (family is all welsh-irish), burn all the time, and the best thing I've ever found for sunburn is Calendula gel or cream.

It's kinda hippie medicine; you'll probably have to find it at the health food store, but I've tried it ALL and that stuff by-golly is the best I've ever found. reasonably cheap, too.
