In Doors

This last weekend was not the weekend here in So Cal to be out at the beach or outside much at all. I had been looking forward to my Sunday ritual and taking my board out. Since I have problems with allergies and with all the heavy ash in the air there was no way I was going out.


I enjoy reading and being indoors. Sure I get out and exercise, since I write I have to other wise I will just be so fat and unhealthy. I was able to get some reading done since I had to stay inside, it was better than watching the news 24 hours. When there are fires like last weekend it is hard to get away from watching. It’s good to do something else. The news casters’ really want you to obsess and watch the coverage of the fire all day long. As if you will miss something if you tune out for a second, and you can’t do that now can you?

We rented some movies. Not that I really watched them I ended up doing more reading, research for a new character. It was the mournful sight of all the smoke in the air that kept us in as well. I had friends that had to evacuate from their homes. Out of the 29 families that I knew of that had to leave none of them had their house destroyed in the fires.

Some had some damage to their backyard but not their homes. That was great and nothing short of a miracle. After all is said and done, there was tons of ash in the streets and even in my yard at home.

I did get stir crazy by Sunday night and went to a reading in LA. I just had to think about something else for a while. This week at work has been stressful and I really want to go back out in to the sea again and relax on my board for a while. It really helps me to make it through the week. I don’t want to spend all my time indoors.
