Buddy is his own buddy.
Ok, I know I said I was gonna pack up the car tonight but I just got home and I am tired. New plan is to say "fuck it" to working tomorrow morning and just go ahead a leave then. It occurred to me in my journey home that my house is only in danger if the fire jumps the interstate, and if that happens it is going to be damned difficult to get anywhere. Fleeing down HWY 12 with half of Fairfield sounds like a nightmare scenario.
For now I'm gonna get some rest and check for news.
Sorry to keep dumping all this on y'all, but you're a giant component of my support network and so easy to reach.
When I leave the office every night, I like to sit on the bench outside and decompress before getting in the car. There's the magnificent view out over the lake, and I love watching the planes heading in towards Salt Lake.
Tonight there were two planes flying a patrol loop over the giant NSA processing center on the other side of the freeway. Two planes, on each end of a big circle. I'm hoping I just haven't noticed them because I wouldn't have seen the lights before it got dark in the evening, but I think I'm fibbing to myself. I'm remembering a story Hubby told me of his days as a Navy brat, heading to the nearby base to watch a movie and find the gates locked and the guards not talking. He went home, knowing he'd never find out what the lockdown was for.

Hey, we are totally here to hear it or watch you process it out or whatever. I just hope it all ends up well. :(
Had my new roommate (who is moving in at the end of the month) come over tonight for a bit and got her a code for the door and showed her where stuff is and discussed living styles a bit more. Hoping it'll be good--I'll be gone for two weeks (in Japan!) right after she moves in, so she'll get a chance to settle in, hopefully.
Then friends came over and we had dinner and watched Great British Bake Off. But we are sad because one friend seems to be really reprioritizing us now that she's in a relationship and it makes us sad and pisses us off.

What meara said. Hoping for the best for you! It's a horrific situation.
Why not think of fire related posts as newsworthy, not venting? Inquiring minds need to know, after all.
Finally get home and my eyes are still itchy and watery.
Yeah, me too! Tears streaming at times.
Anxiously pinging Emmett every couple hours to see what the status is.
-t, we want to know how you're doing so don't consider it dumping so much as just keeping us updated.
Agreed! If you also benefit from telling us what's up, that is excellent.
Just woke up. Our neighborhood is much smokier than yesterday; even with the windows closed the smell is strong and the air feels gritty. Please, please keep checking in, -t.
