Okay, that can't be good...
When I was having the initial heart problems that led to me having to goto the emergency room and learning I had heart damage and other such stuff relating to... there were signs I kinda passed off on for various reasons. I can rationalize the most obscure and unrealistic things, my sense of reality is very fluid. Still, on some level I kinda toyed with the notion I might be dying.
Levels of smoke in the air currently are high, along with all sorts of other particulate matter. Scent wise, not so strong in Palo Alto... which by that I mean I can smell it, but it's not overwhelming. When I visit Mom in San Carlos the scent is significantly higher, but still not so bad. Though the news has been warning folks with breathing issues (along with everything else I've got a light case of asthma) that going outside is bad.
Yesterday I went outside, kinda needed to hit a grocery store. Went, shopped, came home... fairly normal. Minus I bought 2 rolls of toilet paper (may not seem like much but I can make 1 roll last for 2 weeks) but when I got home I couldn't find them anywhere. Which means danger be damned, I need to go out and buy toilet paper again today (and not lose it this time) as I'm currently out.
Only reason I mention all this, other than preamble is the family curse, is of the number of things relating to my heart issues is an intense lethargy which comes into play at the oddest points. Bugs my family a lot at family gatherings, when after the main meal in the middle of conversations I'm fine and engaged but the next moment I'm out like a light and snoring...
...which is kinda impressive, in a bad way, when one is still seated at the dinner table.
At some point yesterday, around 3pm or 4pm, I passed out. Fainted in a manly fashion, if you will, and I was down for the count until about 2:48am this morning. I didn't feel all that tired, as I remember it... beyond a bit weighed down by nothing in particular.
Smoke in the air? Probably.
Were I most people, this might be cause for panic.
