Feeling just a lil 2020 PTSD as I smell smoke, the skies look a bit golden brown this morning, and I ask various oracles "where's the smoke coming from today? is it the massive warehouse fire to the west? or is it wildfires to the east?" #pdxtst #pdx

Also I know I'm unreasonably sensitive to this. Because, like a lot of folks, I really did not Have A Good Time in 2020 given All That Happened. Because, well, A Lot Happened. I guess, at least, I'm going to therapy now, so I've got that going for me.

Also, I'll be transitioning between therapists soon, which is a little fraught yet nobody's fault. But, I am reasonably hopeful the new therapist will be a good fit.

Part of me is kind of geeked that I managed to get this whole process going in the first place after years of intention and wants to infodump about it online, but that's really TMI

Yup, smells like a cigar around here https://www.opb.org/article/2026/08/03/oregon-southwest-washington-smoky-skies-hot-weather/

Mmm, the air is getting tasty

@jalefkowit There is nothing I have heard so far about cruises that has ever enticed me to indulge in one.
