Take better care of my hands

On the minus side, I managed to burn one of my fingers on the toaster oven yesterday and another finger has a bad dry skin spot that I’ve made worse from messing around with polymer clay.

On the plus side, I found some “advanced healing” lotion for extra dry skin in the cabinet last night and slathered it all over my hands before I went to bed. I slept with them in cotton socks, which was interesting to say the least.

The skin feels so much better now, though, if very slightly greasy between my fingers. I think that’s more that I’m not used to my hands actually being anything other than mummy dry, though.

I need to take better care of them. This should fall under the same goal as “take better care of myself” but I am really rough on my hands and since almost everything I do involves them I figure I should pamper them.

I need to exercise them before I do any work with my spinning wheel, I need to keep them moisturized, I need to treat my nails better and stop biting them (again), and so on.

They are in an especially pitiful state right now.
