A few days after returning back to Florida and the sunshine I went down the street to Mickey;s Retreat with Morgan and Kevin. I think it is a place where cast members can take their families for some fun times. Not actually sure what exactly its suppose to be but it is by our housing complexes.
Enjoying the sun, trying to get my tan on
Morgan and Kevin ready to go paddle boarding well I sun tan

Our lovely walk back home.

It was a fun and relaxing day... except...
after Mickey's Retreat I went home and showered before dinner and Epcot as I was not feeling the greatest. I went over to Morgan's and well she made dinner I started to shiver so she handed me a blanket I curled up in a ball and passed out! No clue what was wrong so I went home put on long pants and a sweater as I was shivering. We walked around Epcot and my legs felt a bit sore but I didn't think anything of it. When I got home I put aloe lotion on my shoulders and legs as they were looking a bit red. Oops guess I got a little burnt, oh well it will be brown soon right!?
OOOOHHHHH was I ever wrong!
The picture does not do it justice...
I woke up the next morning and could barely straighten my knee. I could cook a pancake on the heat that was radiating off of my leg. But I toughened up and off to work I went! Did not last a full day I went home two hours early and called in sick the next day as I was in so much pain that I cried just looking at how red I was. Everything hurt, My legs were so burnt that they had a hint of purple with BRIGHT red. My mom figures that I had heat stroke or something as well because for the next few days aloe was my best friend and I just laid in bed letting my legs and arms soak up all the aloe they could. I slept ALOT and day by day started to feel better. One day at the beginning of this week my arms and legs started to bubble, as the bubbles broke I slowly lost what was now a reddish brown tan as I peeled. I still continue to peel and my knees are still a bit sore!
I learnt a VERY valuable lesson that day....
WEAR 100 PROOF SUNSCREEN!
