how was the summer here?

it was late. we had a few nice weeks at the end of may, but june was, overall, pretty brutal. july & august have actually been ideal weather (in my opinion). it's the nicest summer since i moved here. it is really truly a shame that i didn't have time to enjoy it, as i've been fighting with neighbours burning shit for months, and unable to secure a way out.

i still don't think i missed anything.

i'm more irritated about being unproductive.

she seems to be back to burning sage in the kitchen, again. if that's what it is. it smells like a campfire, basically. i've never dropped the idea that she's smoking meth. of the many things she's burning, sage is the worst - especially if she thinks it's cleansing something.

the science is actually very clear that sage smoke is brutally carcinogenic; it's toxic. really. the idea that it's "cleansing" anything is outrageously ignorant. and the way you burn it - in plumes - makes it far more dangerous than anything else.

all burning plant matter is carcinogenic.

i mean, guess what kids: tobacco is natural , too.
