But it's hot!

I will wear sunscreen when lying out by the pool.

As you might guess, I didn't put on sunscreen on Monday when I was out lying by the pool during the day off. I'm now red like a lobster. I bought some cream for the burn, but it wasn't doing much for me. I could hardly walk last night. So, I tried doing what I should have done on Monday, and put on some sunscreen, which worked like a charm. I can now move pain free - relatively.

The more annoying thing is that I'm in a hot country and have come down with a cold. I think it was from moving from being hot outside to airconditioned inside. Also, I had a bit of a sore throat, which almost always develops into a cold for me.

So, I'm not in the best of condition. And sadly for Team Canada, I'm not alone. Coach Brown's stomach has been doing the tap-dance since the middle of the night, Mike Green is battling an ear infection, and Jen Saunders has what I have - congestion, runny nose, etc.

As Browny would say, "just another day in paradise."

The team's winning tho. We're through to the semi-finals in men's and women's. The plan is to meet the USA in the final, and beat them, of course. It'll be a tall order, but I'm hoping we can pull it off.
