THE skin on my knuckles are cracking. they're really dry at around this time of the year, and i better not hear nor read anything about buying or using lotion; it just makes me sound like an idiot for not seeming to have thought about it and you, an imbecile for thinking that i haven't pursued that line of thought.

my hands get really dry, then the skin starts splitting. of course all through this time, it itches like crazy and it can stretch anybody's self restraint. somehow, i manage. i can't truly say if that same restraint even exists while i sleep. here's hoping that it does.

i'm at work sneaking in some blog time during the break. tonight's when frost and i perform that little thing for the students. nervous? not even the slightest. i am getting impatient though. i want it over and done with so i can go work on other things.

4 hours and 30 minutes to go until showtime....
