Weekend Update Is Having Trouble Breathing In

BLEH. I can do without all the fires here in California, thankyewverymuch. Not just the loss of life and home for numbers of people, nature and wildlife, but that the smoke from the Camp Fire up north is coming directly down I-80 and into the Bay Area. Our air is clogged with smoke and ashy particles making it hard to breathe for a lot of people here in the city. Not to mention that the temperature has been falling lately so it's not just smoky, it's windy and cold. We've been hiding inside with the windows closed and the heater on, and while we're getting a bit of cabin fever, it's better than being outside and getting a migraine. I'd say we're well away from the fires, but that's not entirely true, as there's been some suspicious (thankfully small and not too damaging) fires in Golden Gate Park the last few days as well. They're being treated as suspicious and hopefully the arsonist will be caught soon.

In the meantime, I'm still keeping busy with life. The blogging hiatus has definitely given me a bit of a mental respite so I can focus on revision work and personal/Day Job issues. I'm also not worrying too much about the daily exercises and only working on them when time permits and the inspiration strikes. I hate these stretches of low productivity, but I also realize that they come and go. Real Life encroaches and Important Things take precedence. My productivity level will return eventually, once things return to normal.

Not much else to report...hope everyone has a relaxing extended weekend!
