Sunburnt on my first trip to the beach? Nothing new. The backs of my hands peeling? Yep, that's new. Not that I'm surprised. Lotion on the backs of one's hands is kinda difficult. Especially when washing hands is kinda necessary. Should've tried harder, oops. Other than that, Mobile was good. Watching fireworks by the bay and then setting off lots in the front yard, yay for a state where that's legal. Also, got some personal grooming done. My eyebrows were atrocious and I needed my hair cut and dyed. My hair is now chin length and my grays are covered sufficiently to placate my mother. I swear she's more vain about my hair than I am. I think she feels guilty about my being prematurely gray, which she shouldn't. I kinda like black hair shot with silver. I only don't like the wiry, brittleness of gray hair. However, if Mom will stop pestering, I'll let her dye it. As for other hair stuff, I can't find a decent quality clear hair clip or black hair bands, will try again tomorrow. And as my hair is short enough to wear down, I might need to invest in a hairdryer that works.

As for the rest of my trip, buses are fucking cold during the summer. They seriously over compensate and I need a travel blanket. I've been thinking this for a while, but now that I have unexpected travel looming, it needs to happen sooner. And a travel pillow would be nice as well.
