Creeping in

The wildfire smoke, that is. It's still difficult to tell from just looking - is it morning fog? or smoke? And my app says it's the same as it has been for several days, on the line between ok and getting to be no ok. There is rain predicted for the end of the week. However, there is a huge chasm around here between predicted rain and moisture falling from the sky so who knows.

Much to do today. The next attack is a drawer that's going to be the most difficult. It's full of stuff that I have the hardest time parting with. Bags. Hand bags. Small zippered bags. Reusable grocery bags. I have a thing about bags. I guess since I always figured I'd turn out to be a bag lady, I just established a freakish attachment. I no longer even carry a handbag. I have enough small zippered bags to fill a dumpster and don't use a lot of them anyway. I have 8 excellent reusable grocery bags that fold up into themselves and fit nicely in my car's cubby. I don't need any others. And... yet...

So this will be a wrangle me against me.

Then there will be a trip to Goodwill. And a trip to the dumpsters. And then it will be done. With a day to spare.

Today's baseball is at 4. BUT, they gave up the last two games to one of the worst performing teams and today face one of the best. I'm not that hopeful.

On my recent drive from Abbotsford to Cranbrook, the smoke was horrible in some places. It was thick and even permeated the car. It smelled like I was at a huge bonfire party all night. The area I'm in now is very green and lush. It's wicked hot, but yet there's no talk of fires for some reason. Maybe its the proximity to the lakes or something? Here's wishing for a good strong pacific northwest rain to clean the air again.

Good luck with the internal wrangling. It's always hard when there's an emotional investment.

And, wildfire smoke? Eeeek! Do not want!

Sorry, we got your rain. It was a lovely Seattle morning here.

i'm actually more sorry you aren't here to go get the cart. i have another car full for Goodwill. it's a bitch as a one man job.

Kind of sorry I can't be there. If it were not such a nice day here.....

Seems to be a lot of wildfires about at the mo. California is bone dry, Turkey is up in smoke, and the twits in charge maintain that there's nowt wrong with the climate system. I despair.

Bags are pretty fun, though.

Who, as it turned out, they beat handily.

Around here, we're rooting for this trend to continue.

Thanks for the assist!

It's hazy AF here from the fires. Can barely see the mountains that we live right next to. :/
