It really was. I didn't have a mask, but thankfully I didn't have to leave the house often. Tho one day I went out with my roomie and her truck was oh, maybe 20 feet from the door? I didn't even get to the truck before I was coughing and wheezing.

It sucks too, because where I live, we get smoke from the fires in central BC, northern BC, coastal BC, AND fires in the US! It's like a vortex of misery LOL

That’s a really unfortunate collection with the potential for endless smoke

It really is LOL It's like a couple months of solid smoke the last couple years. I'm hoping it won't be as bad this year, but we didn't get much snow this past winter, so I think it'll probably be bad again

Yeah, where I live we got a lot of smoke from the southwest of the US. It's rough, but so far this year it hasn't been too bad.

Yeah we haven't had any smoke yet, but it's still early LOL

That's true, haha. We had a wetter winter this year than last, so I'm praying we have less fire happening.

How's everyone doing this week, btw? Anyone got exciting plans?

I'm marathoning Law and Order: SVU, if that counts as exciting LOL

My roommate and I are binge watching New Amsterdam

I’m going to work though am mentally completely disengaged. I have met a person who has inspired a rich fantasy life which is very distracting from reading papers. I’m having fun though so that’s all well and good.

*dust off plates and video games*
It's good to be back here again.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hi Royal!!

*pops on in*

Someone say Pokemon?

*runs off to play Pokemon GO*

I liked Pokemon go, but there's nothing around me so I keep running out of pokeballs.

These days I'm looking forward to Pokemon Sword.

Gifts solve that problem, Aello. Annndd what's Pokemon Sword? Yes, I'll need to know cause there are too many pokemon games these days and my autistic cousin is a bit of a poke fan. (watching a 6 foot Ash run around comic con is fun)

Yeah, but the gifts only help if you get sent them.

And Pokemon Sword and Shield are the new games coming out for the switch in November.

I'm a huge Pokemon fan, got over half the games going back to the beginning, so I'm pretty excited!

Also that sounds fun and kind of cute. If you don't dress up with him, you totally should. I bet he'd love it.

The last few times I went to Poke stops I didn't get any gifts to give people.

Yes I think they reduced the drop rate on gifts. I went from having lots to having almost none.

Yeah, I haven't gotten one in a long time. And a lot of my Pokemon GO friends don't play anymore.

Well, my trainer code, if you want to add me, is 0781 8272 5935. My aunt's therapy office sits next to a Pokemon stop so plenty of opportunities for gifts. Pyro has me on her fl on Pokemon.
