A not-so-great reminder of Summer......Sunburn

So I'm not going to lie- I'm getting sick of my students passing around ringworm....gross. This is the third time they have given it to me this school year! Needless to say, I'm a little annoyed and about ready to try ANYTHING to get rid of it. I remembered something useful from my days of wrestling cheerleading --who knew all that time spent slapping dirty mats would yield some knowledge? There were always four or five of the wrestlers who would tan regularly during the season to kill any germs from the mats- why didn't I think of this sooner?! So, yesterday I went tanning........12 minutes in the medium pressure bed. Bad idea. I am fried and I've been smoothing on aloe vera gel and popping ibuprofen all day to keep the stinging at bay. Ouch.....
