Winter Fingers

Winter is a typically cold and dry season. This year is no exception with a few inches of snow on the ground already and a high of 13 some odd degrees today.

This has an impact on the human body-kind of like an everyday fight between the cold and your water-laden body drying you out, sucking all of the moisture out of anywhere it can.

I have some proof of that happening.



That is a crack in my thumb.



That is a crack in my pointer finger.



That is a crack on my middle finger.



That is a crack on my same middle finger.

I also have some proof of an idea from Katy. Though I'd like to call it me fighting back the cold. Check it out.








Yep, that's right. Sleep with these silly looking moisture locking gloves on.

Results so far?

Positive. I'm winning. :)

(Though, no telling how long I'll have to wear them this winter.)

(Hhmm, another point. I have ugly fingers.)
