That was probably the worst two week stretch I've experienced. Peak covid, and then you couldn't breathe or go outside.

My mental health has really started tanking during the summers.. they weren't like this when I was a kid (I'm only in my 20s), with the smoke and weeks on end of 90°+ weather. I struggle to cope with the stark reality of climate change.

I feel this as a PNW/Washington baby that has now grown up and has to adult. Moving sounds great, but looking into it, it’s terrifying too

It was so wild and like memory holed by everyone it seems like. Couldn’t go inside offices or buildings with air conditioning because Covid, couldn’t open windows too cool our house because of smoke, and it was so hot and no one has air conditioning here. And weirdly we thought the post office was going to implode or something so I bought too many stamps…weird weird.

Originally exactly the time I was asking a realtor to run around town to find us a place to buy. Not nearly as bad as the Orange Day in the Bay Area.
