the fires are quite far north! about 7/8 hours drive, give or take a bit, I think, so the only thing I’m in danger of is smoke inhalation when it drifts in on the wind
aha! makes sense! lemme look

not bad today, but we have had a couple smoky days
The smoke is what I worry about, we got a TON of it last year from all the fires across Canada, even here in KANSAS!! it was like an orange alert, too, I couldn't work out outside due to my asthma
Oh, WHEW!! Thank goodness.
but yeah, the smoke is just the worst, it’s so hard to do anything when it’s like that
I know...fuck the climate collapse. 🫠
honestlyyy
pretty good!! we had a soft pretzel & pictionary party at work over lunch, then I got dinner with my gf and her cousin after c:
UGH...so sorry. Today was absolutely BTTW. And then I had to talk my dad down off the ledge this afternoon, Mom was being very difficult and he was at his wits end with that and with waiting to hear from neurologists' office since MONDAY to square an appointment for an assessment of Mom's legs and lumbar region to figure out what is wrong.
She can't move her legs, she can't pee on her own. There has to be nerve compression somewhere that happened while she's been bedbound, or when she collapsed at home after the hospital discharged her too early.
Hope your day was better. SO...you've got a significant other!! Tell me about her/them, how you met, all that jazz. IIRC, you were either ace or demi back when I last talked to you, I can't remember.
I'll be here for probably the next hour or so.
aw man, that all sounds awful, I'm sorry to hear it :c medical stuff is so stressful and heavy to deal with
my day wasn't too bad! a little long, with work, but good stuff generally
yeah, I do! we worked together back at the concert hall, if you recall that last job? she was an usher/bartender/assistant house manager, and we were friends for two years first, then we decided to go out :> we've been together 7 years this year, I think? that sounds right
and I'm still ace!

she collects ace people, apparently - no ace person I know knows another one until they meet her, and then they get a collection
I totally remember that job! Do you still do anything with that concert hall any more?
And wow---7 years????? That's amazing, congrats, babe!
I do not! I left a little before I finished school last year; just not enough time to work there still, and most of my friends had left too
they’re getting another building, though, and my company is working on it!

I think she’s pretty neat, I think I’ll keep her
