I was looking at my moles the other day, and I realized I have no tan lines.
This is a very good thing.
Usually by this time of year I have tan shoulders and flip-flop tan lines from walking from the metro to work. Now I'm taking the bus to avoid the long walk, I'm staying completely out of the sun from 10:00am to 4:00pm (and really trying to avoid it until 6:00pm), and I'm wearing t-shirts instead of tank tops to keep my shoulders covered. It's been a bit of a challenge and is often frustrating, but it's worth it if it keeps me from getting another melanoma.
The lack of tan lines shows that so far I'm doing a good job staying out of the sun. It's early summer though, so fingers crossed I can keep it up. I know it will be especially challenging while I'm in CA, but the challenge will be worth it to see the family and watch my college roomie get married!
