I stay quiet, but I'm seeing ultraviolet

[sovay]

Apparently our particulate pollution levels are officially unhealthy for sensitive groups, which explains not only the light brass tint to the afternoon but the rather massive asthma attack I had instead of sleeping for the entire morning. The day before, I couldn't enjoy the rain because it came with a headache so skull-crunching, I actually sort of passed out from it at a terrible hour to the rest of my schedule. I was under non-joking doctor's orders to rest up this weekend and it has not vaguely happened. I keep being light-headed, ear-ringing, unfocusable. My brain feels like a flickering commodity and I don't like worrying about false flags.

I hope the pollution levels abate and that you feel better soon!

Oh my dear, both days suck/sucked for you, and I'm so sorry. You're in my thoughts.

I appreciate it!

Oh, it's been so bad here. I don't have asthma and I completely thought I had covid a few days ago because I woke up coughing with my throat raw. Turns out it was the smoke from the wildfires. I can't imagine what you're going through with an existing respiratory ailment.

I don't understand how there's anything left to burn.

There are a lot of trees in this country.

Feh!

There was a red ring around the moon last night. It was impressive on the eye, but the lungs are not thrilled.

JFC. Apocalyptic shit.

*wheeze* God bless America.

I may use the Afrin, the actual Afrin, which I mention in case you see me scuttling along the side of a triplex later.

Are your sinuses still in your head?

We are fully tricked out with air quality monitor and air purifiers and such (and sometimes add a box fan with a furnace filter if we could use some moving air as well - we have air conditioning but in Seattle we don't often need it, and the house gets stuffy when we can't open the windows) and I still utterly hate it when we get wildfire smoke.

Many sympathies. We have our A/C and our air cleaner going full blast and I am on so much albuterol.

We haven't gotten smoke yet this year, but have had some awful times in past years. I often wonder how it compares overall to the smog in my childhood.

God, I'm so sorry. K and I were talking about how we sort of thought everything that could catch fire already had, and then being very wrong.

I don't like that any better for you!

Oh, that all sounds horrible and very unnecessary! *hugs*

I don't think fire seasons are supposed to be international.

The air quality in so many places is appalling. (It's been flickering between "apparently fine?" and "really not ideal, but nothing like others have been dealing with" here.) I'm sorry you're suffering so from it. *hugs*

Please stay breathable! The experience does not need to be shared!
