Day 11: Santee, CA
Ah, blissful sleep. This was a day to relax. Slept in,
patted the dog, enjoyed homemade banana bread by grandma for breakfast, read a
book in the sun…
Oh that sun. Soo,
after hiking this summer and whatnot, I have a tank-top tan and I’m wearing a
strapless dress in two weeks for the wedding. How to remedy? Aha! I will put
sunscreen only on the tan and then sit outside in a strapless shirt for the sun
to tan the straplines…brilliant. Welllll, I sort of forgot how strong the sun
is here, or maybe how easily I burn, plus my book was engaging. I thought it
was only 20 minutes later…
In any case, I have the WEIRDEST burns, one side a thin
skinny snake running from my left shoulder down about six inches, vaguely in the
pale band of my strap, but much thinner; the other side is burnt to a crisp and
adheres fairly well to where I wanted it to, but is angry and red. Now in any
top but a tank top, these super burnt strips look ridiculous…maybe it’ll fade
in 2 weeks?
After a day of do-nothing-ness, Bry and I went to GTM, a
marvelous store short for Get The Money. We loved this store growing up, mostly
for its abundance of discounted candy. Nowadays I’m in it for the super cheap
jackets, sweaters, work out clothes and whatnot. Picked up a Stormtech
rainjacket for $30 and a workout zippy for $15.
Dinner with grams and gramps and that’s all folks.
