rebeccmeisterThis time, I'm noticing the fresh ocean air in Seattle. I think Arizona's air is slowly poisoning me, but that could just be because I exercise outside on days when there's a high-pollution advisory in effect and people are encouraged to stay indoors.
I'm conflicted about staying indoors. Standards for air circulation inside buildings are generally terrible, especially relative to standards for other animals that are kept indoors (there must be four complete air changes an hour for animals; we're lucky if that number is close to one for humans). On the other hand, other animals often live in cages full of urine and feces. Wait a minute--so do I, since I have a cat.
Today's it's approximately 61 degrees F, and people are wearing shorts and t-shirts and they have their windows open. I'm wearing a tee-shirt, sweatshirt, leg-warmers, and a skirt and am a wee bit chilly.
This is turning into one of those trips where I do a lot of obligatory socializing. Don't get me wrong--socializing is good. I need to catch up with a lot of people that I haven't seen in a long time, or that I haven't seen ever. But I'm wavering back and forth between having a splendid time and feeling antsy (lay off, punsters.).
It could just be that the caffeine just wore off.
