I know I know, I said this blog would be about archaeology, or makeup, and so far... just like me... its totally off topic.

In the world of archaeology: I am recovered (mostly) from the gnat bites, and the abscess I had in my throat, as my body attempted to filter the gnat venom out of my system... my before before photo on the left (my eye is swollen looks like I was punched... and this is after icing it all day).
Now it's just the sweltering St George sun, but that feels sorta normal, even though the car's thermometer was reading 122 yesterday. It might not have been THAT hot, but its no joke out there.
Long sleeved shirts, sunscreen, a hat and head net, lots of water and coconut water, my alternative to gatorade (I swear it works like a charm). Now I just need to find a mayonaise-free and PB free lunch option that I can stand eating in the heat... I hate sandwiches and sandwich bags. Nothing grosser than tasting plastic in your bread... unfortunately I'm a super taster and I taste that. When I was a kid, I hated drinking milk, because I tasted the plastic. Maybe I can wrap my sandwiches in brown paper? I'm crazy, I know.
