Working on the dissertation, have met with my two Latin 200 tutoring students, meeting with my Greek 200 tutoring student either later this week or next week. Still bouncing around trying to take one of all the yoga classes my gym offers, figuring out who my favourite teachers are. There's a convenient class on Tuesday-Thursday, time-wise, that I tried yesterday and while I wasn't super thrilled with the teacher at the beginning of the class, by the end I really did feel like I had been worked hard, and he does some different poses than some of the other classes I take. That's probably a good thing though!

I need to actually find some stupid Aerogarden bulbs, as mine need replaced. They are stupidly hard to get in Canada for some reason. The places that sell Aerogardens don't sell the bulbs. (Please do not offer solutions. I know what I have to do to get the bulbs, I'm just grumpy about it!)

Speaking of stupid, it was 70 on Sunday and *80* on Monday and the things that make my apartment cosy in the winter make it stupidly hot if the temp goes up suddenly, so it was over 82 (not sure how much over) in my apartment for two days and almost unbearable. But I can't work anywhere else right now very effectively if I need all my books because my laptop is currently a desktop so that's annoying. Oh well. I've been using my drying rack and laundry as kind of a makeshift swamp cooler in my bedroom, which stays cooler anyway, and last night it was really lovely.

Hoping it'll be sunny and warm on Friday so I can hit the beach and get some more bikini time in. I only have two spots of sunburn from bikini time on Sunday and I'm hopeful they'll resolve in time to get some more sun. I find it amusing that I spent so long actively avoiding the sun and now, mostly because there's so little of it up here, I am OBSESSED with it. But that'll happen when you live somewhere that for most of the year doesn't get enough sunlight to make vitamin D. Not enough vitamin D--ANY vitamin D.

My Wen came finally. I ordered through Sephora because first of all I don't like subscription-style body product services and second, Wen Canada doesn't have the fig, which is what I like. (I got samples while I was in Vegas and really liked it.) So gonna give it a real try, for the length of the bottle at least.

Anyway, that's what up.

There's this sort of vitamin d precipice: if you get enough sun to make your own, your skin can stand up to the amount of sun you need to make your own vitamin d, but at some point, at least for me, that drops off into a hole wherein I burn badly _and_ have to take vitamin d, and it's hard to get out of that. (short-sleeve shirts and lots of bicycling and just enduring arm burns, pretty much.)

I didn't tan at all until I was in my late 20s. Not "didn't get sun exposure", but didn't tan, only burned and peeled back to white. Then quite suddenly I started being able to tan. That hasn't changed since I moved up here, fortunately. :)

I am off most of the drugs that made me sun-sensitive--except for the omeprazole. *sigh* I can have ulcers or I can take Vitamin D supplements, I guess.
