i did some dishes & we donated some things & got stuff to repair our plumbing issue.
but then a wildfire grew and grew and darkened the sky.
There is such an unease with the sight and smell of smoke.
also last night i guess there was also an earthquake. idk like a 3.8 or something. i didn't notice it.
There was another one during the week that was noticeable, like a 4.2. Anyway, i was focused on pulling my ramen out of the microwave and i didn't even notice. I thought i heard something, but my noise-cancelling headphones were on. my husband came running into the kitchen and was like "did you feel it?" and i looked at him blankly.
There was a lot of ash falling as i watered my garden.
so we didn't clean as much as we'd hoped
& we didn't go to the gym
But i did drive us to the grocery store (first time driving at night!) and we picked up snacks and finished watching The End of Evangelion.
i picked up some stuff from the thrift store too. some books, some hats, a bag.
I really wanted sunglasses & some old walkman or other electronic devices that i could repair, but the electronics they had weren't very interesting.
you are alive, so you will always have the chance to be happy.
as apocalyptic as today felt and looked, this line resonated with me to some extent.
