Are you feeling better, Charmion? Will your course of medication have to run over a period of days (I seem to remember you having these episodes over as much as a week at a time?)

I heard the next door neighbor crank up his mower right after I decided not to mow - the air quality is way high in the red zone after all of that dust. I called and spoke with his wife to alert her to tell him; it's a sunny day, except for a kind of haze you won't know the air was this bad.

Shredding papers indoors today (no burn barrel for the foreseeable future, we're in high fire danger). The next load of laundry goes in soon. Also considering the backup options with the external hard drive and the various ports I can connect to. Using what I have here instead of buying new adapters or converters.
