I miss going for walks outside!
and pokemon go and hikes and picnics
but the air quality is so bad here in northern CO, this morning I had to go outside to drive home for like, 20 minutes, and that was enough to send me on my ass all afternoon.

I hope you're all safe, to those who may be living in the western US.

The closest fire to me here in CO is almost 2 hours away, so dw I'm safe aside from very bad air quality and asthma. But I do know a few people who are being affected by it. One of my coworker's parents are evacuating and its worrisome, I hope they don't lose anything.

The smoke is constantly acting up my allergies and overall been making me feel
very sick overall.

I also live in CO. can't tell you where cause i suck at directions. :vanora_sweat:
I don't think im anywhere near being evacuated or anything
but still it's not great since we get thick haze of smoke.

@moodybats:
Yeah, my nose is really burning at the moment too. Then I wheeze a lot, especially noticable on days like today when its a bit worse. And people start thinking I'm sick with a virus like noooooo I just have asthma and no inhaler cause I got no benefits D<

ahem, but yeah. I'm nowhere near evacuating areas but Im close enough to die from smoke lmao

@moodybats:
Oh dang, I'm sorry you had to deal with that!
I'm also a sneezer usually, so I can relate to that much xD And having to wear masks all the time, I keep having to like... somehow sneeze without opening my mouth so I just sorta internally implode and die a little bit. So I don't sneeze on the mask that I gotta wear all day D<

D: Do you have fans that you can run? They only do so much, but can help a tiny bit with stuffiness.
My room today is quite stuffy and hot

@Jolly: i don't leave my house...like ever since the pandamic started..and before
so i can't say i've had the mask trouble cause im too scared to go out lmao.

we have three fans in the house and 3 air purifiers.
but not much we can do otherwise since my whole fam is allergic to any kind of smoke.

@moodybats:
Thats smart! I have to leave my house to go to my job and college. Although I did just graduate, so I get a lot more time at home than before. Come december I'll be in a couple advanced classes and a second job x___X
But honestly, just driving to my bf's apartment, where we continue to avoid people as much as we can, I still need to wear a mask just to be outside at all some days.

Have you had any of those ash rainfalls in the last couple weeks? They're hellish on the respiratory system, but they looked so dang cool lol

Are ya ready, guyz?!

On a discord server I'm on, less than a week (maybe two) after moving to college and leaving behind the stuff they didn't plan on bringing, their family home burned down. They lost a lot of stuff
And despite knowing full well that insurance is going to pull a lowball and try to get away with it, their parents are putting aside money for them and their sibling to recoup some of their losses

Put ya guns awn!
