Unfortunately, I've always been a believer in the theory that if you put it in writing it will happen. Well, it's not always unfortunately...but today it sort of is. In my last post I wrote about the stock market tanking. I was just doing my routine Dow Jones check (as the markets close at one on this side and Sarah is now down for a nap) and my heart sunk as I read that it plunged another 7+%. I admit, a feeling of panic flew over me and I don't own any stocks. So my foot is in my mouth because I can't pretend I'm totally immune to the fear that is gripping people on Wall Street. Another article stated that the recession is here. Big news! Not really, but it definitely makes a difference seeing it in writing.
So, I'm hopefully going to make this my last economy related post. Even though I do consider it a part of my daily life, I've always been interested in it, it has no place here because it stresses me out too much! Or possibly there's another explanation for my panic:
It's 1pm and I haven't eaten lunch yet. Hunger induces feelings of panic for me. So maybe we should ignore this post and remember the world will not end because of this crisis. I'm going to go make a sandwich. Ham, cucumber, cheese, and mustard on lightly buttered toasted. It's delicious.
