Either
Hi.
So while I was lying on the beach enjoying the scorching Mediterranean sun and a good friend of mine started talking about ‘planking’, I thought that either one of us (I felt more comfortable thinking that it wasn’t me) had been in the sun for way too long!! Then, however, my other friend joined in the conversation, and she too sounded as if she knew perfectly well what she was talking about…so clearly, I was the one in the dark.
How does either make sense here?

To my ear, "either one of us" here means "one of us or the other of us."
(Either she was crazy for saying it, or I was crazy for hearing it. - something like that)
