Dear arms:

We got burned close to two weeks ago. Plz finish shedding now, okay? The whole skin-peeling-off-in-white-fringey-bits thing is getting really, really old. I want to wear a T-shirt today and you are not making this any easier.

Thanks.

I think once I deal with the peeling issue- mostly my left arm, my right did most of its shedding over the past two days- I'm gonna head into the city. There's a Hatshepsut exhibit at the Met and an exhibit on Japan at another museum; I'm not sure which I'm gonna see, 'cos the Hatshepsut's probably a lot more interesting but I tend to prefer to spend many many hours at the Met, sketchpad in hand, and I think the Met ....

.... closes at nine PM. Well. Hm.

ETA: And they have free bike parking at the Met. Okay then.

Next time put aloe-vera immediately after the burn and again the morning after.

Also, if you get to the stage where you have peeling skin after burnt skin, then you did something seriously wrong.

Oh, and second onthe calendula gel--I haven't tried it on a sunburn yet (I have aloe gel with added anaesthetic for that), but when I got a tattoo in January, that was what was recommended to moisturize & aid healing, and I had no trouble there whatsoever.

Except, of course, OMGDUNSCRATCH!
