Friday was the first day I could actually see blue sky since the fires started. I still cant go outside without getting a splitting headache though because it smells so bad. It's been pretty cool. I've been leaving work early and using my sick hours because the smoke has been getting to me a little too much. The Orange county (Santiago fire is what they call it on the news) fire is about 65% contained now which is good considering they have like 2500 people fighting it right now. There is still ash all over the ground throughout my neighborhood and my jacuzzi is still black. Things are looking better except bad news is the santa ana winds are supposed to come back friday or saturday and blow up to 40 mph. This isnt as fast as it was when the fires started, but I'm thinking it will still do some damage.
My mom sent me an air purifier after I woke up one morning and my tongue was black from all the soot and ash. I really dont know how that happened. We try to keep the door shut as much as possible. It's kind of scary to think about all the stuff my lungs are inhaling. I havent been able to go to the gym all week because my lungs are so fucked up from it all. My stomach was in severe pain too, but I've been taking pepto bismol for that before i go to bed which seems to be helping.
I hope this all ends soon. It's seriously terrible. They found out it was arson too. Some person made a huge fire pit and put a long metal pole in the middle so it would burn hot despite the hurricane like winds that day. It's crazy to think that someone would do something like that. I mean this fire has burned 30,000 acres already. It's really bad, I'm pretty sure the Malibu fires are all out, but I know the San Diego ones are still bad. Arnold was in Irvine a good amount of last week. I missed him though. haha
