Don't tell me I'm stupid, I know already!

[Guest guest]

I took two days off, to catch up on some gardening and other things

around the house. Yesterday, the day being very nice, I did some work

in the garden (sunscreen on, of course) and as usual, physical work

usually makes my face turn red. That has been so all my life, nothing

to do with R. I am your typical cream skinned Irish rose, albeit one

who has never been to Ireland (including my ancestors). Really,

sometimes I think I should have a word with my mother, why didn't she

go looking for a husband to Spain or Greece? Well, too late, I

suppose.

I went back in the house at 11 am and stayed indoors until almost 4

pm and then went out to the garden to finish - I had to dig a rather

deep hole for a shrub, replace all the soil , etc. - and I could feel

my face was getting warm, but I was so set on finishing the job that

I didn't pay attention. Then I went back to the house to wash and my

right half of the face was almost purple. (My " bad " part of the face

migrated from the left to the right cheek during the past month).

Remembering the post about icepacks, I pulled out some frozen stuff

from the freezer (I think those were turkey necks, gizzards and other

delicacies for my fourleggers ) and applied it to my face until it

returned to paler colour. However, my face is still more pink than

usual today, and the right cheek is very warm, though not red (all

the way to the hairline). I know I deserve good spanking for this,

well, hopefully I will keep this in mind in the future.
