Wacky World

[days_unfolding]

Sometimes I think that Harlee is messing with me. She'll meow loudly, and I'll go sit with her. She'll sit with me for a moment and calm down, and then she'll walk away. Sometimes I wonder if she wants to see what she can make me do. Goof :)   

 

The stock market and economy news is kind of hilarious. There's going to be a recession. No there won't. Stocks are going to continue to go up. No they won't. I wish someone would say, "We don't know exactly what's going to happen." 

 

Bloomsberg had an article about how stock market swings can produce physical symptoms in investors; apparently there was a study that showed that. The article then said to keep in mind what you can and cannot control. The list of things you can't control started out serious and relevant, but progressed to "the quality of the new Star Wars movie," and got even sillier at the end. I would have liked to share it on Facebook, but they don't enable sharing. It's my last free article of the month, alas. Irreverence goes far with me.

 

My skin is itching like crazy. Sometimes handling old books, which I'm doing a lot of, will trigger eczema on my hands, but this is all over. Don't know what's going on. Interestingly, it seems to be going away now that I'm home. Maybe I'm allergic to the lack of cat dander :)

 

Zara made more progress in forgiving me. She stood on the back of my chair while I was eating ravioli with alfredo sauce, although I think that she was more interested in the alfredo sauce than me. Mimi and Zara have been having some squabbles which is, unfortunately, normal. (I told them to quit it.)
