Layers

This is how I start my morning everyday: First, I apply a layer of lotion to keep my skin from getting too dry. Then comes the layer of sunscreen. Even though I'm used to warm weather and I don't feel very hot, I'm much closer to the equator now and could burn easily. The first day I was here I forgot to apply that layer and my nose looked like Rudolph's. Lastly, I have to apply a layer of DEET. This is quite a task because the fumes are overpowering! I hold my breath, spray an area and run out the room to breathe in fresh air! T.I.A.
