I keep slathering my hands in lotion, but then washing them, so then re-slathering. My grandmother gave me some really nice lotion for Christmas, but I think it's too greasy for my hands. t /random

I just called the bookstore and, yay!, I don't have to work tonight. I figured I wouldn't (I was on call, and they've been cutting hours right and left to make up for using too many during the Xmas rush), so I can head on over to the pet supply store and the grocery store to fill up the pantry for both of us.

I do have to work the store tomorrow night, but that's okay. That extra $75 a week is very nice to have in the account.

My mother-in-law gave me lotion for Christmas, too. It's weird, it has silicone in it. But it feels really nice and smooth and seems to last longer. It doesn't seem like it can be a good idea, but I like it.

Cereal: I always like the Camille Beckman "glycerine hand therapy" lotion my sister gave me some time back. I only use it in the wintertime, so the 4 oz. tub has lasted me a few years. It's almost all gone now, just in time for me to try out the hand therapy set that ChiKat gave me from Mary Kay.

Even with insulation, heating with propane and heating by burning dollar bills works out about the same.

Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Fragrance-Free Hand Lotion for the win. I have tubes of it scattered through my apartment--kitchen, two in the bedroom, two in the living room, one in the car, one in my purse, one in my krav bag, one in my gym bag, one at work. Every handwashing is followed by moisturising with.

I owe the library $8 in fines which means I can't put holds on via the web. ::sulk::

This stuff from my grandmother is Crabtree and Evelyn, and seems too nice to use on my legs, but I think I have to. Unless there's a good way to put it on the backs of my hands and not the fronts....

Hah. I have the non-fragrance free version of that (the neutrogena) here on my desk, and the ff one at home. I just can't slather it politely where I need it in the office. (back, legs, shoulders EVERYWHERE AHRG.)

My butt is dry. I'll have to pick up some moisturizer on the way home.

For non-smelly extra-moisterizing lotion, especially for the legs, I can highly recommend Cetaphil, which I found in a huge tub (10 or 12 oz., can't remember which) at Walgreens last winter. Worked wonderfully on my oh-so-dry legs that got even dryer when I was swimming three times a week during the winter.
