It’s very dim outside, and tinted rather orange. So much so that I have overslept in the gloom by a number of hour(s) plural. Looks like I’ll need to work late today to make up for my extended snooze! The temperature has dropped ten degrees, and I’m sure those trapped VOC’s in the low pressure spaces will begin to decay in the UV light and everything will smell like acetone for a while now. A spooky reminder that mother nature always wins. The northern forest fires are getting worse as the years progress. In all my youth I never once remember the entire sky going orange from smoke, and now it’s happened twice within the same decade. I’m sure this will become a yearly thing as we continue to get hotter, and do nothing about it.
I do believe today is Wednesday. I had a full day yesterday or work, dishes, laundry, vacuuming the floors, and a general tidy up. Later today I will put the girls sorted laundry into their rooms, drawers & closets. I believe there is at least one large load of laundry that I have discovered on floors, chairs, and under beds, tangled in sheets that can get done today, alongside my day job project that I got several hours into yesterday.
I could not fall asleep last night so my alarm pinged I immediately fell back asleep after turning it off. I expected like 30 more minutes, maybe an hour while the rising sun beamed down directly onto my face waking me up purposefully. But no. The gloom and dim orange glow did not in fact stream directly into my eyes and I slept soundly for SEVERAL hours instead. Damn.
Air quality is at a seven (7) which is pretty awful. One is good, and a three is borderline unhealthy, so it’s way beyond any sort of safety guidelines for outdoor activity. At least here in Stouffville, things at the cottage seem better somehow. Strange.
