Tree Ivy

            
            I got the skin itch on my shoulder. It looks like hives or poison ivy. I'm calling it "herpes on my shoulder." I'm trying to cure it naturally. Baking soda works pretty good. Lemon isn't bad either. I've noticed it's calmed down some, but it's persistent.
            A couple of tree trimmers were doing a job next door. I asked them if they'd do me a favor and cut a branch from a tree that I'd become accustomed to conking my head on. They obliged. I was breaking down the branches and leaves with my shirt off, and the leaves from the tree must have gotten tree revenge on me. Or who knows where it came from. I don't recommend it though.
            Let's see, what else is going on? I was waiting for a fish burrito when I noticed a car parked at the curb that looked like a running shoe. I was thinking that whoever designed that car was moonlighting as a shoe designer. The owner of the car was a blonde lady that was sitting next to me. I thought about initiating conversation with her. I was going to lean in and say, "Do you know your car looks just like a tennis shoe," but I caught myself.                             
            Because you know, sometimes I say things, like, "herpes on my shoulder."
