I was careless about keeping garden gloves on while tearing out weeds on the side of the yard, and must have run into some poison ivy. So my forearms are wrapped in gauze like mummy limbs. This sort of weeping rash is very yucky but I hope it starts getting better shortly. At least it didn’t spread far.
Could be worse — I read about those giant weeds in other states that make your skin burn up with any sun exposure. Nature has some very tricky and dangerous things in it.
I’ve been wondering if other people think the economy — or their part of it — is actually doing so well. It’s hard for me to gauge, because specific obstacles in my industry (internet marketing, domains) were causing business woes that had little to do with Trump, tax cuts, or other U.S. legislation. My family always talked about “my world†and how it was so different from everyone else’s, but now I have trouble seeing the normal world. I don’t know how the rest of the country is really doing — not in the ways that I am used to understanding, anyway — and the lack of cable TV adds a lot to my ignorance. Back when we had our paltry 3 channels on TV, we used to be watching the same world.
