Last count I heard was 42,000 acres burned in Waycross, Ga. I can’t imagine what the smoke is like over there, ’cause it’s plenty thick here in Valdosta. It’s gettin rough. Due to allergies (I’m assuming, and hoping) I woke up with a sore throat and an achey chest. So of course I eventually ended up outside at the Garden Center registers. It was all going fine until the wind started dying down and the smoke really started settling in. So finally I called up front and asked to be switched out because the smoke was really starting to get to me. I’ve been out there in unbearable weather only to reply, “No, I’m fine” when they’d call and ask if I needed to switch out, so I assumed the fact that I was pleading to go in would hold a little weight and they’d realize I really needed to come in. Nah. I was finally relieved about 30 minutes before I was to leave anyway…almost two hours after I started requesting to come in and was told it’d be a minute every time…that really got me going. My throat is on fire now and my chest feels like I have a bowling ball on it.
I’ve got to be at work from 7am-6 pm tomorrow and I’m just not feelin’ it. It’s been an exhausting day and I had already decided to take a sleeping pill after eating and showering, but now I don’t even know if I have the energy to eat and shower. I just wanna sleep. *Yawn* Mmmm, smoke-filled lungs.
Ohhh, I almost forgot–Dad called today and said he expects I’ll have the car within the next month. I’m dying to get this car, for real.
