*BLOG POST SOLELY ABOUT CHAPPED HANDS AND THE FACT THAT IT'S ALREADY JANUARY WITHOUT A POST. PLEASE LEAVE IF THIS IS NOT YOUR THING.*
Wow, it's been a while since my last post. Mainly because when I blog, I use my own compy on the white desk in the good ol' basement, and it takes a while for the letters to show up. And my fingers usually freeze on the keyboard, and then I have to snap them.
But you know what makes frozen fingers even WORSE? cracked up, bleeding, chapped knuckles. Yes that's right, the winter chill has found a way through my ultra-extra-super-duper-padded gloves and into my skin. Upon reaching my skin it took out a shovel and started trenches or something, because it REALLY HURTS whenever I flex my knuckles, or fingers (they are attached to my knuckles).
So I tried to put on lotion. Unfourtunatly, when I tried to take my hand lotion with me to New York last week, the bottle squirted all over my suitcase, and Mrs. B made me throw it out. So now I'm livin off a much-more-empty-than-you-think bottle of "love spell" flavored cream, and I think it's days are quite numbered. Like, single digits.
And one more thing:
IT HURTS. A LOT. I WISH MY HANDS DID NOT HURT THAT MUCH WHEN I USE THEM. WHICH IS A LOT.
(I made a post!)

Ouch! Been there, had that. :( (Unfortunately, our poor son inherited my rotten skin.) The only advice I can give you is to be sure to wear rubber gloves when washing dishes.
Rubber gloves?
Uh oh....
I wash dishes every morning, and I don't wear rubber gloves. Could this be the reason why my hands are all chappped up? I know that when I'm done washing the dishes, my skin is usually very tender, but I always dry it off carefully.
I think.
Sorry it took me so long to reply.
I doubt that dish-washing is the only thing that's making your skin crack. I, too, am very sensitive to cold weather.
The surgeon who patched up my broken right wrist recommended that I use vitamin E oil on the scar. You might want to ask the resident medical professionals about using vitamin E oil on your cracked skin, and you certainly shouldn't do so without their knowledge and permission.
I'm not entirely sure I understood that, but thanks!
Sorry I got so fancy. By "resident medical professionals," I meant the ones who live with you--your father the doctor and your mother the nurse. I didn't mean to confuse you. You should certainly ask them what might be good for your skin problem.
