For the second day in are on the top of the world!

The air inside got way better after I closed the door yesterday. DOH. It's warm but not too bad. And it was not too warm for sleeping which I was afraid of.

I can breathe without coughing which is way more pleasant.

So... inside today with the door shut. I have garbage to take down to the dumpster but I might just let it rest up here for another day. The dumpster is across the garage floor and full of outside air. Even with a mask, it's not worth the risk.

It's fine. I still have food. And Diet Dr. Pepper. And entertainment.

Maybe I'll even do some closet culling today.

Wow, when you're beating China that's bad! You've mentioned smoke, is this burning of fields?

Forrest fires. And they really aren't that close. But the weather - high pressure/low pressure/winds, etc are gathering that smoke and keeping it right over us.

It's been my experience that hot house flowers have no smell. So, if it's any consolation, you don't stink.

Yeah I am definitely Not Loving this air quality at all. I'm lucky we have air purifiers and central air so we can keep everything shut but I'm beyond ready for the rainy season that was supposed to start a month and a half ago.

Next year I will have central air and I am REALLY looking forward to it. But, I must say that my Dyson Hot/Cool which also has air purifying but I'd never used it before, is doing a nice job.

Rain. pleasepleaseplease

I just took a stroll from work to the bank and noticed some drops of water falling from the sky. I came back here thinking the numbers might be a bit lower. NO! It's at frickin' 217 now. It went up since a few hours ago. Maybe I'll just call Jere and tell him I'm sleeping in the kitchen tonight. I don't want to go back out there.

I saw a tweet about rain in West Seattle and did the same thing. I hate purple. I want green. I don't envy your trip home or back. I think sleeping in the kitchen sounds better.
