My skin desperately needs moisturizer, like it's pretty urgent, but among other problems (mostly with just finding a product that actually works for my disgusting flesh) I just cannot stand the feeling of having any lotion on my hands. Nothing actually sinks in no matter what I do, it just sits on my skin feeling tacky and damp all day until I eventually have to do the dishes or wash my hands or something, at which time it reactivates and then the only way to de-slime myself is to use so much soap and hot water that my hands come out totally mummified. I don't know what to do about taking care of my hands, but for the rest of my body I'm starting to imagine using latex gloves or something. The idea of having to deal with latex gloves covered in lotion is pretty revolting but if it saves me the trouble of having swampy ass hands, it might be worth it.

WHY IS STILL HAPPENING

Can the random neighbors please stop negotiating some mindless deal directly under my bedroom window please?

I should start a Next Door account just to be like ALERT two unknown men (three if you count the phone) are endlessly discussing how to open a Gmail account in order to fill out some paperwork in a public area. Everyone on my street please conspicuously slam your doors and windows to help scare them away, it's not working with just me doing it.

Can the random neighbors please stop negotiating some mindless deal directly under my bedroom window please?

There's my neighbor's dog but I don't see her, there's a guy holding a phone with another guy on speaker, and the first guy is waving a fistful of paper and instructing a third guy on how to create a Gmail account. Third guy is being very evasive about the idea of email and kind of pretending not to know very much about it. This is obviously going to go on for a long time.
