Big fire to the north of us okay cool cool cool great cool
trauma, wildfires
It's at the county line and hasn't gotten close enough for our city to be on alert yet, but I'm having flashbacks to two years ago and it's fucking terrifying. A big part of me desperately wants to stay up to keep an eye on it, because that's what got us out in a timely manner last time. But I know it's bad to indulge in hypervigilance like that, and I took cold meds earlier this evening so I am...... very tired... But the thought of going to sleep makes me feel horrible???

I didn't even really lose anything in the last fire, we spent a week in a horrible limbo uncertain if everything we owned had been destroyed and hearing conflicting reports of the extent of the damage, but in the end our home was safe. I can't even imagine how the people who lost their homes last time are feeling right now.

Bonus points: a power surge made our router go nuts, so I'm stuck using data to keep track of things
