11/16 - Foreshadowing Friday!

[Despairagus]

Bleh. I don't wanna turk anymore. I'm on track for weekly goal but if I don't turk more tonight I have to do a full day's earnings tomorrow. Which might not be so bad as I can't really go outside.

I checked the air quality for today. Level 5, very unhealthy (basically stay inside if you can, all outdoor activities for schools are cancelled, etc) starts at 75 of whatever it is they measure.

Today we hit 317 as the high. 317 when the Very Unhealthy starts at 75. What was that, don't breathe level?

So no outside work for me until we finally get some wind, which means I might as well sit in here and turk.

Man I'm so sorry you all are dealing with that out there. Just absolutely sucks.

This is really, really bad. We have had smoky before. But generally we don't get above Unhealthy. Usually hovering Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups. When I saw it was over 300...holy hell.

The school system cancelled everything. Even the formal dances that were scheduled for this weekend. They made a phone call and said everything is cancelled, and please keep ourselves and kids inside this weekend. I believe the formal dances will be rescheduled once this clears up. If it gets any worse I'm betting the next step is to cancel school.

Also a reminder for people in affected regions, especially with kids, if you can't find filtered face masks in stores, go to your nearest hospital. They're *eagerly* giving them out.

Reports are saying they don't do much for very long. I think I saw one is good for about an hour outdoors? After that, time to put a new one on so it stays effective. Rumor has it some wind is due on Sunday which is supposed to make things better. So just one more day of this, I hope.

I know many others have it worse and lost everything, and have no homes to stay in, so I'm lucky. But this is a sucky lucky. My head really hurts, and my kid now has a sinus issue...ugh. He almost never gets sick and he's a bit of a baby about it. Thinks he has a brain tumor because it only hurts on one side. I informed him it's a sinus thing. Because whenever he stands up fast or sits down fast it hurts worse. Sinus.

I swear the Alexandria bot gets smarter as time goes on. It's not falling for any of my tricks now.

I tried like five of those and trapped myself many times before I fooled them. I gave up.

1) It doesn't have an on/off switch, but the worse it is out the faster it gets saturated, and you don't want to wear it too long because you breathe a higher percentage of CO2 when you have them on, but IME they last more like 8 hours (I would not wear more than 2-3 at a time). I'm not a doctor but I spend a lot of time around them.

Edit: Get the yellow rectangular ones with two straps instead of the cup-style ones because they fit better, and the material is better. Occasionally blue but Kaiser and Sutter seem to both use the yellow ones.

2) The wind was better today, earlier but not now, worse tomorrow, better Sunday, and by next Wednesday we should have rain.

I don't waaaaaanna spend my Friday night trying to figure out how linear regressions are supposed to work.

(I'm in Math 101. I'm pretty sure I'm not even supposed to know that these things exist. Convinced that the prof hates us and enjoys our suffering.)

Oh I feel for you. I hate math. Just the phrase linear regression makes me want to cry.

Yeaaa I did 51 of them earlier and had a fantasy that I was going to settle in and do another 50 but I just can't do it. Maybe in the morning.

Good to know about the masks.

I kept thinking I did good until I would get to the third one and be all...uh, no where no how in any way is that going to be true.
