Yea it’s gonna be another warm one...ugh.
This soap is strong! I wouldn’t say blueberry though, it’s more Grape Bubble Yum.
I got a heavy synthetic blueberry, like that can of super sweet, preserved blueberries you get in the Krusteaz muffin mix.

Evening shave after some self inflicted damage to my hair. I wanna be like @Dave in KY and have the matching scent for this. I had to mix my Saints.

Got a bit of a reprieve from the heat in the middle of the night. Whew! Made it tougher getting out of bed and thus the 6S. After enjoying the St Kitts yesterday I was in the mood for something sweet and more basic again. This is me kicking it old skool style.

Heading home at noon to be doing online meetings and classes from 12:30 to 9pm. Ohdearlord.
 
Today is just an ugly day outside...decent winds all day blowing in all the gunk and funk from the fires. Outside looks almost as bad as it did during the Camp fires, minus the insane level of ash. Hopefully you’re avoiding it!

Sad thing is, everyone is looking forward to 2020 being over but there's nothing magical about flipping the calendar over.
 
My parents up near Portland said their entire county is under an evacuation alert. They are on the far side of the county so they are sure they'll be fine, but apparently many fires on both side of their area. This is crazy.

Fire is a scary thing. Hope they get them under control ASAP.
 
Dude. All these fires are driving me crazy. There are plenty in Texas, but California just seems to never stop burning, except for those bunch of months without the apocalypse. I hope your folks get out safely.

Last time we had a dept leadership meeting I forgot we did while I apply (over-applying) my scent in the morning. So this time I decided to stick with a soap and matching AS to avoid that issue.

Well, the midday midnight is gone. Today the sky is the colour of a sand storm. Or so I imagine.
 
I watched some of the Giants game, and the color of the sky was unbelievable. They said the air quality was "moderate." I'd hate to see severe!

It's interesting. They said the high winds are keeping the smoke up higher in the air so we don't smell it. It just blocks out the sun. The winds are supposed to lessen today or tomorrow, the smoke will drop and it'll smell and the air quality will drop.
