Kept looking.

Still haven't found the cotton gloves.  But I did find gloves I kept around for kitchen duty, such as working with messy foods or hot peppers.  Medical, too, if I were to ever do any of that.  Not rubber, but like what you find in doctor offices.  I first soaked my hands in lotion, the put the gloves on.  I may take turns having them on, then off.  Always putting salve or baby oil on under.  As well, when I go out, I'll put other gloves over these.

I am still not sure what is causing the problem.  Too much protein, too much fat, body adjusting to one or both of those?  Too much heat, or even exposure to cold, or the cold then the heat?  I just don't know.  And, as mentioned, there seems to be two different problems going on.  They aren't the same.

Now, with these on, and with other gloves to go over them both outside and while trying to do dishes and such, more work can go forward.  I have been hampered, a bit, with my hands being so sore.  Water, hot and cold, and soap, hurt them more, and seemed to exacerbate at least one form of what is going on.  The other just does what it does.  I have two, nearly full, boxes of these gloves.  So I won't have difficulty changing them at will.  If I get down to half this first box, I'll order another.  Maybe order and extra box on the first anyway?  Maybe.

Yes, well... on to chores.  And, then to dishes?  Something.  Now that I can protect my hands a bit, I can try to get to more work.  It really is rough when your hands are shredded, and you have to put them in hot or even cold water, with or without soap.  Brutal, lately.

I best get to it.  later.
