Another stretch of night shifts and my hands are still doing okay, which honestly surprised me.
Baked a loaf before heading in, and my knuckles usually take the worst of it during kneading. They used to crack fast after handling dough, but this time barely dry. Put on lotion right after washing up and again before bed.
Things from today:
– woke up with no cracking on the backs of my hands
– neck still a little pink but not raised
– ran out of the fragrance-free lotion and dug up an old tube from the drawer, seemed fine
Also spent a good while on the phone with the bank, going back and forth on whether to pull money out of a CD early. Didn’t decide anything, just wanted to see where things stood before my next shift. Skin doesn’t care what the schedule looks like, so I guess the money question can wait a little longer too.
Heading back in tonight. Hoping this quiet stretch holds.
