The wildfire smoke moved in today with a cold front and it was instantaneous with the smell and air quality. We’ve been holed up all day. I thought immediately of all of you who dealt with this for long periods of time last summer. At the onset, PurpleAir showed a reading of 250 for my area.
I did not use my vacuum because I learned from here not to do it.

I’m gonna have to cave tomorrow and vacuum because I’ll do two passes and have to empty the canister The upside is I’m still so stuffy it won’t matter

jkjacq I thought of you because I know you all get that same bowl effect. I hope it doesn’t affect your symptoms too much and you’ll be better soon.

We had a couple thunderstorms the past few days with a tiny bit of rain so it’s marginally better at least I’ll take it My nose has finally stopped running and I can almost breathe easier thru it. So yay for a mild case and vaccination!!

There's a really interesting doc on Disney+ from NatGeo about the Mt St Helen's eruption. I wish it were longer it was so interesting I wanted more.
BUT, early on they were talking about the restricted zone and interviewing folks who didn't want to leave. One women comes on with the "I pay taxes and I should get to use my property whenever I want" and I fucking died. There's always one.

Just got back from donating blood. From what I was told, every blood center in the country would be appreciative of donations, as both COVID and summer in general have driven donation numbers down.
I just like my bag of Famous Amos cookies afterwards. And my excuse to drink tons of water and watch TV/read this afternoon. LOL

TW: cancer/death
I’m just sort of defeated. My Aunt who was dxed in January with stage 4 colon cancer is expected to pass within the next 2 weeks. My cousins are 10 and 14. My Aunt is in her late 30s.
Fuck cancer. This will be the 4th close family member I will lose in the span of 18 months. Ironically none from Covid.
I have nothing else to say. Just needed to get it out. My brain is honestly exhausted from grieving.

My aunt was from Mozambique - that’s where my uncle met her. Her mom was able to come and stay for a few months earlier this year to take care of her. But my goodness how difficult it must be for her family to be thousands of miles away right now. I can only imagine her mother’s pain.

clucky and klw, big fail. I can't believe how stubborn she is. I guess either school will let us send her for the 2.5 hour class in pull ups or she doesn't get to go. I feel like she'll go when she sees other kids doing it. She held it yesterday for over 5 hours in her refusal before peeing on the floor.

Thank you everyone. I appreciate it, sincerely. fatpony I hope preschool doesn’t mind. I think requiring potty trained kids before age 4 is asking a lot especially given that most pediatricians don’t seem to get super worried about PT until that age.
