As soon as I see the air quality is even slightly improved, I get outside. It's been bothering my throat, but the tradeoff in my mental wellbeing is important.<br /><br />I love Brooks Ghosts. I ordered Asics Gel Kayanos as well, but preferred the Brooks. I'm going to order a second pair to keep on hand, because as you probably know, it's so hard to find a style that fits, and they make small adjustments to the product lines all the time.Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-15790618649593902072020-09-12T07:02:37.943-07:002020-09-12T07:02:37.943-07:00I've really struggled this week.

Seeing my friends & family impacted (OR/WA), and what's happening in California, the air quality, not being able to be outside, which is such a critical part of my wellbeing during COVID... oh, it's a struggle. And no activities or fitness for the kids, who are already struggling. :-(<br /><br />I increased my "kind deeds" because it does help a bit, and to your point, other people are struggling, even if I don't know about it/see it. I love your idea. I'm not doing much driving lately, but I'll ad that one.<br /><br />Nice work with the product replies!Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-61208732241384226952020-09-12T07:00:23.332-07:002020-09-12T07:00:23.332-07:00I've learned lessons about buying less.I also ...I've learned lessons about buying less.I also didn't expect there to be no soccer season, so they grew before wearing a bunch of soccer related items as well.Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-12162532602902250092020-09-12T06:59:56.050-07:002020-09-12T06:59:56.050-07:00THanks.

There was a large straw fire in town by a factory here that burned for a couple weeks. It affected the air quality and it was terrible.

The wildfire situation ...Life is so hard right now. The wildfire situation is beyond surreal, more than I can even take in fully. Tje pictures coming from the Bay Area alone are almost incomprehensible.<br /><br />I need to double down on being generous and patient with my fellow humans. Everyone is under stress even if it's not immediately obvious. So one thing I'm doing is letting people pull out in front of me in their cars as often as I notice them waiting. And I'm also working very hard to exhibit patience at the market when people block aisles while looking for their items.<br /><br />Frugal wins- I emailed two companies with product issues, and received replacement coupons, two per product. (A bottle of kombucha that was impossible to open, and a can of baking spray that clogged). <br /><br />Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248579159497266955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-51435244420576913042020-09-11T16:25:21.278-07:002020-09-11T16:25:21.278-07:00It is a shame when kids outgrow clothes before the...It is a shame when kids outgrow clothes before they can wear them.Practical Parsimonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419071209412207674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-13192833825636689892020-09-11T12:02:12.497-07:002020-09-11T12:02:12.497-07:00I love how generous of spirit your week was.
