do not try to open a package of string cheese if you’ve just put on hand lotion.  And piggybacking on that thought, don’t try to open anything with a screw top after putting on hand lotion either – though that was a lesson learned that’s sadly been ongoing for me for the past 6 or so months.  What can I say, if I didn’t write these rules down for all to learn from, I just might forget (again).
