Ouch!

I read somewhere online that a sunburn acts kind of like a contact irritation and impairs the autoimmune response. So, since yesterday was sunny and I had time, I took a book outside and read next to the pool. It was a little chilly to be sunbathing, so of course I couldn't feel the effects immediately. I'm not in the habit of laying out a lot, so I wasn't terribly concerned about skin cancer, though I probably should have been.
The prednisone must still be in my system even though I didn't take the dosage at last night. I looked at the doctor's orders and it does say take in the morning. I still woke up super early this morning. Oh well. I should be okay. I taper down from the prednisone after 1 week. The insomnia shouldn't last forever.
