Hands

Why does it never fail that as soon as I put lotion on my poor dry hands that I have to use the restroom...and subsequently wash my hands? I tend to not realize my hands are dry until it's ridiculously painful, itchy, and weird...which is a long time after first washing my hands...perhaps if I got into the habit of putting lotion on after I washed my hands it would be more effective.

Note: I still have not purchased new lotion for work. My cube still smells of spoiled black raspberry vanilla.
