I’m so sorry to those of you dealing with the air quality. The pictures are surreal. Beyond surreal. And I'm no stranger to this type of thing, coming from SoCal. I suppose I naively thought I'd at least have a reprieve for a while out here in New England. 😭

So with Mark Meadows, I’m just starting to catch up. Why now for him? Is it because he was presented with details they have, and he said “Ok fine, I’m screwed.”

I hate to say this but I would prepare for weeks. It’s often weeks. One year it was months where my aunt lived in Oregon. It’s awful. I’ll never forget in summer 2020 when we were already on lockdown and it turned orange here for days. I was like “all I had was fresh air and my walks and now that is gone too”. I will be hoping for a wind shift or rain or anything to help the situation. My friend has siblings in Quebec and she invited them down to TX for a while. For once we’re looking attractive and they’re coming.

Upgraded to purple today. We bought a couple of air purifiers yesterday, basically just what was available, and even with those running all night in the bedrooms, I woke up with a bronchitis sounding cough. UGH
Our caddy corner neighbors are big C Catholic, have 8 kids, covid deniers, homeschoolers and keep antiabortion signs in their front yard. They have had their kids playing outside all yesterday and they are already all out playing in the yard, nary a mask. Are they smoke deniers too? I'm just like wut.

From WaPo
'Biden “will host the largest Pride celebration in White House history” this evening, Neera Tanden, the new head of the Domestic Policy Council, told reporters on Wednesday evening. He’ll also announce a series of new executive actions meant to aid LGBTQ Americans, including a new partnership between the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department and the Department of Health and Human Services to help LGBTQ community centers prepare for threats against them.'

I ended the day yesterday with a throbbing sinus headache that I’m pretty sure was triggered by the smoke. Our neighbors were also playing outside all yesterday afternoon. No thank you. Do not want to cough all night. I feel a little like a canary in a mine with my asthma and allergies in all this smoke.

Smoke is bad even all the way down in RVA. I was getting over an asthma exacerbation (literally halfway through a prednisone taper) when the smoke hit earlier this week. I'm now back to square one, basically carrying my inhaler with me everywhere. Taking more hits from that thing than I have in years.
Daycare went to indoor activities only. And yet I still saw some dude riding his bike around the neighborhood, and even one women pushing a stroller! That poor baby. If it's this bad, I can't imagine what it's like farther north. Keeping everyone up north in my thoughts.

I imagine the mountains of Cville are similarly creepy.

The dystopian feeling of smoke filled skies is unreal. I'm sorry you all are dealing with this.

Getting to discover the fun of new ins policy this week. Got confirmation last week from az medicaid that yes we make too much by $52. That Soc sec raise of $100 was too high. Will now spend more than $100/mo just on rx.
Not much notice between renewal application letter recvd may 12 to fill out and return on 15th and reply letter recvd from state on may 30th that insurance ended may 31st. They could at least given 2 weeks notice from results letter.
At least we returned it fast. Never seen them process paperwork from az govt with this fast of turn around that's for sure.
