Genius!
Caffeinated apple juice. Can you believe it? I loves the apple juice, I loves the caffeine. Now they're together. I don't have to drink my morning apple juice and then find another way to consume caffeine.
This is the best thing that ever happened to me. Right now.

What else was I going to talk about? Oh, yes. Lotion. I have eczema, and I need my moisturizer. Now, way back in the day, I used something called Wondra. Wondra ceased to exist, and a lengthy quest began to find a suitable replacement. Finally Curel was deemed worthy of my sensitive, dry skin. Now Curel has lost their mind and replaced their product with some extra super better product that is *not* better and actually irritates my skin. It irritates me in general as well, but that's why you're subjected to this post.
So now begins a new quest. I have purchased two possible replacements for Curel. No small task finding a replacement, as most lotions have mineral oil, and I am allergic to mineral oil. One of the possibilities is a new Vaseline that will not be on the market forever, but if it works I can stock up on it. (I wish I'd known Curel would betray me; I'd have bought cases of it.) Vaseline usually has mineral oil, but this particular one does not. It does have fragrance, however, so I don't have high hopes. The other is a Suave for sensitive skin. In the past, Suave has failed me, but this one might be okay. Don't care a whole lot for the texture, though, as I think it may leave my skin feeling too dry.
But we shall see. If neither work, I will move on to other options. In the meantime, I will try not to claw my skin off.

You'd think that it would be a good thing, but it hasn't been. Every time I shake hands with someone they look at me funny and I know they're thinking,"Yes, a firm grip, but his skin is like that of a woman."
It's weird. I have never used any lotions, except, you know, when I'm focused.

Ick.
