Wearing And Tearing Down The Hands

Days 358 of writing every day.

What I dislike about the physical labor I’m doing with regards to kitting, at least for how the work is done, is how it’s so bad for the skin of my fingers. If anything, I’d say farming work or even landscaping would be better for my hands.

Developing callouses is basically a given for any task that is repetitive and involves a lot of back and forth motion that wears away your skin so much that your body chooses to respond by adapting to the situation by allowing dead skin to pile on and harden into something that is more protective of the flesh below the surface.

Anyways, it takes one instant to cut your finger on cardboard and days for it to close especially if constantly used and dried out. Vaseline isn’t cutting it for me so I’m gonna have to see what else might help.

Thanks for checking in!
