August 12: I'm Not Scared By the Wildfire

Saturday, August 12, 2006

It’s hard to believe I’ve been here for 12 days - nearly half a month!

This morning the valley was so thick with smoke that I couldn’t see the western hills. By 11:00, the wind changed and within the hour the smoke was clear.

I worked 6:30-2:30. By 1:00, I was so tired that I felt sick. As soon as I got off at 2:30, I brushed my teeth and went to bed until 4:30.

Now, I am doing laundry and running the car for 10 minutes so that it doesn’t die on me.
