How You Know I've Been In This Office Too Long

So in case you all were wondering what happens to the afflicted area of sun poisoning weeks after the peeling occurs. Well, it's much like having chickenpox. My back is bumpy and itchy and drives me crazy on a daily basis. This is no ordinary burn, so naturally, this would be no ordinary recovery. I'm starting to worry that maybe this isn't normal and I should get to a doctor, ASAP. Which would be fine if there was a doctor to be seen.

I think I've finally come to the conclusion today that I belong on the East Coast. Of all the places I've lived, I have never fit in like I do out there. Jeans and a sweatshirt (aka a "Hoodie") as fashion? Yes, please. Sledding/slip-n-slide made of walmart tarps down your backyard? Awesome. I miss fighting with people about Soda vs Pop, and Sprinkles vs Jimmies. Telling all the bad drivers to go back to Jersey.

And today as I walking walking back to work, instead of this sparse woodland area, I found myself wishing for the thick, green flora of central Pennsylvania. Of course, soon all the leaves will be changing color. I can still remember crunching through the reds and oranges on my way to a game at Beaver Stadium. There was always that sick sense of satisfaction of kicking through large piles of discarded leaves.
