Cotton Gloves and Skirt

I have had a problem with the skin on my fingers cracking; I’ve been applying antibiotic ointment and bandages. On a friend’s recommendation, I bought some cotton gloves at CVS, and they help; I can put glop on my hands, and still be able to use my workstation without getting stuff in the keyboard, and write in my notebook without staining it. Also, my fingertips are not directly hitting the keys again and again. This was good advice.

Thursday was quite cold, with biting winds; when I went out for air and exercise, I wore a coat, hood, mask, and winter gloves, as well as long trousers, and I still felt the cold. When returning home from a short walk in the early afternoon, I found myself walking some distance behind a woman in a mid-calf length skirt, apparently of light material; gusts of wind kept lifting the skirt above the lady’s knees. I have to admire her toughness.
