I'm feeling more stable on my current meds than I've felt in a long, long time. I don't even feel terribly sleepy or "flat", which is terrific.

Biggest problem right now are the wildfires all around. The heat is extreme and has been for weeks. Since early June we've had one "lovely summer day" - the rest have been scorching hot. The heat fuels the fires, the fires cause exacerbated heat, and so on, into a vicious cycle. The smoke is really bad. I'm at a point now at which my throat and ears are so irritated that it's painful, and I'm not feeling too great physically. There is just no way out of this, no where to go that isn't hot and smoky. Everything stinks like icky smoke to a point at which I feel queasy. We're really in trouble out here.
