And how my wings lay so dormantly

The fires are still burning all over the state. The air is unbreathable. My chest hurts. I can't stop crying.

This morning I saw a white barn owl that flew along side me as I was walking to the bus stop. Usually, owls are bad omens, but this one didn't seem too ominous. Internet symbolism websites (don't laugh!) say seeing one of them is a good thing: that they mean overcoming obstacles in the darkness, "abundant creativity as well as fantastic capacity to produce well beyond what others may do."

Okay, that doesn't seem so bad, I guess!

Not as bad as the chest pains I had trying to walk to work from the train station, certainly.

I am definitely planning on being an absolute vegetable this weekend. I look forward to not having to leave the house for a few days. I find that I am the most comfortable and the most sane when I get to stay inside. Recovering from going out is such a multi-step decompression process that takes me ages to wind down from the stress of--I literally don't understand how people are DYING to get out right now.

black dove hotel, spirallnig, fires, weather, whambulance, ugh!, a life in the day
