Ow Henk. Erm, I know this sounds funny, but try soaking it in cold black tea. That should stop some of the swelling and the pain. Unless you can get aloe plants in Africa - those seem to really work on bad sunburns. (I tan, I wouldn't know. Hubby burns like an SOB though, and this has worked on him.)
If you're able to, a couple of aspirin will stop the majority of the pain.
Cota, man, that sucks. Seriously. But you're not alone - Pete is 41 and starting a new career, I'm 32, had to quit a career because I have carpal tunnel (medical transcriptionist) and have a kid coming.
Also, hard to find a house to live in - landlord wants us out of this one - we are staying past our lease and she is being a C*** about it. Sorry lady, but where the hell are we going to find a place that takes three cats, has two or three bedrooms and is on the ground floor? HM? Not here in Podunk, Northern New York!
Also, hubby pissed me off today. I set the alarm for 6:15 for him a FULL HOUR before he has to leave, and he STILL can't manage to get his lazy a** out of bed, eat his breakfast and get to work on time. I've NEVER seen someone so slow at waking up! (takes me 15 minutes, no sh**. I am the queen of 'Raus'. XD XD)
