The smoke from Canadian wildfires have slowly seeped down to New Jersey. Wednesday was the worst. The world was colored yellow, and everything and everyone smelled of camping. The smoke was was all in the eyes and throat. I checked air quality for my county at 6PM yesterday – hazardous! Kept all windows closed and ran AC for a while.
Today was a bit better. I checked air quality for my county at 6PM today-very unhealthy. Improving from hazardous. Feel bad for animals trapped in the Canadian woods and people who were impacted by these fires. May it resolve itself soon.
Watched Being Mary Tyler Moore documentary on HBO Max over the course of two evenings. I kiiiiiiind of knew who she was but then again, not being born or growing up in the country I really had no idea what a legend she was. What a life… Tragic yet full of creativity. I won’t give away the documentary but I truly enjoyed it.
Started a new audiobook: the Guest List by L.Foley. LOVE the accents, LOVE the setting (an island off Connemara, Ireland). Current book is a Kindle edition of The Wonder of All Things. Bleak so far.
Solo week. Yep, me and the kiddos. It’s been fine except we were stuck in the house for two days due to air quality. On Sunday I made two dishes so we’ve been eating the leftovers pretty much all week: chili and rice, and chicken and couscous. Very uneventful but I like it like that. Especially when T is away.
